Last! The Southpaws Arc Remembered New Science Building Has Left-Handed Chairs, Kitchen ^It has been said that science lojds many wonders. • After a quick trip througti tiie fnivcrslty’s nearly-completed scl jfK'e structure, anyone would he breed to agree. Here are a few of the more cyc (itching innovations: 0 Desk-chairs for left-handed fudents. ~0 Showers just inside labors bry doors. 0 A complete kitchenette hid jen in a wood-paneled wall. • Bathtubs for fish. i,w Isl I-handed <'hairs .Building planners found that Iree per cent of the population is #ft-handed. So, 6 of the 201 chair l^ks in the main lecture room I|ilSt to the left of the main en ance) are for left-handed future aentlsts. The six are scattered iroughout the tiered room. “Indents walking into one of ie chemistry labs will find a ietal hanging above their heads. a person pulls it, he'll be rapid >- soaked.

I, Green lC<-ndiiig Room I1 t’p the front stairs and to the ght is located a reading room Vie in dark green. The walls are lin'd with wood shelves and mnga ipe racks which will contain per- 1 dlcals and perhaps books. Just off the reading room Is one ; one in wood paneling. O^cn the 'Uriels on side of the room and | here are a three-burner, one-oven 1 lectric stove, a sink, a refrigera-! n>n unit and shelves, all in white nanii'l. The room is a place where ;raduate and other students can eiax, make coffee and maybe eat until. Hal hi iil>s for Fish •There are also refrigeration n.its in the building for baeteriol 'Ity and biochemistry work. > The biology department even has *lhtubs for its fish. The Kmerald rmleratands salamanders and am ihibious animals ate inhabiting hese at present. One of the big problems In b'ady hall has been the limited Letwern-t'lass time allowed for petting up experiments. This is k’Tved In the main lecture room By a curtain which comes down (ujit behind the lecturer, and in front of the space where experi ments can be set up. The professor baa have as much time as he wants lo set up equipment In the new tffiildff.g . . . right behind the back :>f«one of his colleagues. Curtain Fire Protection This curtain serves another pur |'(*se, too. In case of fire, one just .pts a cord and the curtain drops, j utting the class off from the area. Accoustics are good in another lecture room located in the base jnent and seating 100 students a Hftdent stood in the rear and rUiispered.

Hoods in the walls of the chem istry labs wil Hake care of the per ennial "odor” of chemistry build ings. The enclosures carry off tht gases of particularly "smelly" ex periments. Tables Acid-proof Laboratory tables are covered with grey-blue soapstone, which i: not damaged by acids. Distilled water may be obtained from fauc ets in the walls. A large marble block sits in the entrance stairway to the building. There's a reason for its being there, but few people may ever know. It was going to hold the plaster replica of the Willamette metearlte, now weighing down the front porch of McClure hall, but faculty members, among others, weren't happy with the plan, so the marble block will remain as Is. Towers for Utilities Red brick towers, containing outlets for water, gas and electric power stand in the middle of the physics labs. A switchboard panel in the basement controls all the electricity running to these rooms. Thin main board sends the request ed type of power to a particular floor where another board directs it to a certain experiment in a spe cified room. Faculty officers all are connect ed with experimental labs where the individual professors can work on their own private experiments. Four .Shops Four shops will be located in the i basement of the building. One will be just for students, two will be machine and the another, a wood shop. Students might be surprised to learn there's no plaster in the building, except in the main of ! flees. It is what is termed a "util I ity building.” Pumic stone with | concrete backing lines most of the walla. •Joints and Bars The whole building, which con tains expansion joints to prevent [cracking, is divided into 11 by 22 I foot bays. Some of the labs take up two of these bays. Large window i areas allow an abundance of light [ in all the rooms. The University physical plant's carpentry shop has played a large part in ouftitting the structure, as i about 50 per cent of the furniture was made by our own workmen. 'US and Japan' Is Lecture Topic “The United States and Japan” will be discussed in a lecture here Wednesday night at 8 p.m. in the Student Union by an educator who has spent the past two summers in Japan in connection with Stanford University's educational project there. He is Professor George H. Knoles, professor of history at Stanford. Knoles, an authority in the field ; of American history, has helped with Stanford's work in Japan which is designed to give selected Japanese students some training ‘ in American history, government . and culture. The author of articles and essays j on American history, Knoles has | written a book on “The Presiden i tial Election in 1892,” has co-au | thored the book, "Reading in West jern Civilization,” and is presently working on a study of Anglo American relations since 1919. He is a graduate of the College WB 1 of the Pacific with a doctorate from Stanford. He has been on the staff at Stanford since 1935 except for one year when he served as head of the department of Social Science at Colorado State Teach ers’ college, and two years in the navy during the war. Sponsoring his appearance is the University lectures committee and the history department.
