New Buildings to Modernize Campus Science Structure Nears Completion The new Helena- building. Htlll '* under canHtruction, will not be reudy for use until winter term, * according to I. I. Wright, phyidca) plant superintendent. Although It ■ hud been originally scheduled to open In time for use during the - Initial term, 11 strike In the sheet metal Industry and other procure * meat difficulties have caused the date to be moved to about Jan. 1. The new building will be shared by three science departments; physics, chemistry and biology. Dr. R. T. Rlllekson, head of the physics department, said that tin new building will have many more rooms for individual use than any of the old accommodations. Biology . will receive additional laboratory space, although the other two dep artments will have no appreciable increase. . Among the Important new fac •* flUles which will be found in the new structure ure a central elect* ‘ rlcal switchboard, a 200-seat lec ture and movie room, two separate machine shops, (one for students use, the other for staff machinists) * and a place to mount the Univer sity’s 15-Inch telescope. Distilled . water, compressed air, and hydro gen-sulfide outlets will be located in every room. New Research Projects These new advantages will mean " a large number of new research projects. Many fields of study, . such as nst ronomy, were greatly curtailed by not having the nec essary equipment But the plan “ ning steps of the projects are complete, and the work is waiting - only for the new building In connection with the construc tion of the science building, a loading dock has been built be tween the journalism school and - the new science building, and part of a new street along University street north of 13th Ave. has been constructed. Soon after chemistry moves from McClure hall. School of Journalism will take over the building with the exception of a few classrooms re served for general use. However, before journalism can take posses sion chemistry lab equipment will have to be moved and some re modelling done. The work will probably not be finished until spring term. Take Over Heating 1’Iant About that time the school of Architecture and Allied Arts will take over the old heating plant building, located at the north end of University Street. Equipment is now being moved from the plant as rapidly as possible but exten sive remodeling is necessary be fore the structure will be ready for the architects. The largest item in the remodelling program is the construction of a second floor in what is now the boiler room. Another addition to the campus is the penthouse atop the Student Health Service, built to be the home of Dr. Fred N. Miller, direc tor of the Health Service, thus en abling him to be available for em ergency service. This is the first time that such a system has ex isted on the Oregon campus. New bleachers, now under con struction at the north end of Hay ward field, should be ready by the first home game, Wright reported. The new stands will be very similar in construction and appear ance to those that are located at the south end of the field. 28,100 Total Capacity The new bleachers will seat 4,000 persons, bringing the stadi um’s total capacity to 28,100 and completely surrounding Hayward field with grandstands and bleach ers. During the summer the complete block between 13th and 14th ave nues and between the Student Union and Carson hall was cleared, houses razed, and the area pre pared for landscaping. Gone are Highland holme, and the old PI Kappa Phi house, the latter re placed by the one acroHH the high way, next to the physical plant shops. The cleared block has been sown with grass which should be gin to grow soon. Also razed during the summer to make way for landscaping was the Falcon, campus restaurant formerly behind the KU. The area is now cleared, ready for prepara tion for the grass. The Anchorage, across the highway from Villard hall, closed during the summer, and is now in the process of being razed. That area will also be land scaped. Another Campus Change Another change is in progress north 13th ave. between Oregon hall and Commerce hall. There workmen have completed excava tion and have constructed part of the forms for the service tunnel of the new business administration social sciences addition. This is the beginning of work on the $700,000 wing which was approved by the .state legislature in its last session in the spring. THE NEW science building located on University st., will be completed in a few months. ..give your SCHOOL BUDGET a lift* BEAUTY TEXT *You SAVE *1- on a Book-Box of 3 of your favorite Helene of Hollywood Bras!
