New Science Building.Sans Odors; Has Other Features Including Telescope, Kitchens, Pastel Aquatic Bathtubs By Harriet Walrath They thought of everything in designing the Science building they've even gotten rid of the usual smells! The University's new $1,600,000 structure circulates super-fresh air all o%'er the building and takes the aid, smelly air out through venti lators on the roof. Also on the roof is ft telescope. It is tlie first the University has own ed and with the placing of this in strument, equipment is complete for teaching astronomy. Not Dry Sessions Seminars in the new Science building won't be the old dry ses sions that they used to be. Con cealed behind doors in the seminar room Is a kitchenette, complete with stove, sink and cupboards for making coffee and other goodies. The main part of the physics de partment, located in the basement, holds among other things the spec troscopic lab under the direction of S. Y. Ch en associate professor of physics. In room 8 today Ch en will conduct experiments showing why the sky is blue and what causes a sunset. Times for the demonstra tions are 4:10, 5:10, and 10:10 p.m. today and 5:10 p.m. Saturday. One of the machines in the lab, the micro-photometer, was built by H. D. Osborn, physics department technician, at ch'en's suggestion. ♦ ❖ ♦ < ommerclHlly it would nave co-i the University more than >*oo(> but actually coat only about $1000, Ch’en said. The main lecture room is an am phitheater and contaiiTh a projei - lion booth, complete lab for class,; room demonatration anti an asbes tos fire wall that can be dropped to isolate the fire. Showers are placed in the door ways of all chemistry labs for Imj mediate use in case of spilled acid or an explosion. A machine that makes chipped ice will eliminate the need for making It by hand with an ice pick for experiments. In the genetics research lab on third floor, two constant tempera ture rooms have been Installed for the breeding of fruit flies, under the direction of C. W. Clancy, assoj ciate professor of biology. The lab also contains a room for storage and preparation of food for thA flies. * The Animal Room The interesting third floor also contains animal rooms with every^ thing from tropical fish to white tats. There are dissecting rooms and kitchens for preparation of food for the animals. • Across the halls from the two large chemistry labs on first and second floors are their storage rooms. These arc complete with shelves, chemical benches and i» bat k entrance to the elevator. Designer Expert on Old Coaches. By Noreen Johnson Versatile Ivan Collins, designer of the details and fixtures in the new Science building, is one of the rare people who is an expert on models of Colonial horse-drawn coaches and is an authority on this type of early transportation. Collins has done work on this line in the Smithsonian institute and was the object of a feature in I>ife magazine. He has written a book on the history of horse-drawn carriages. Has 46 Models At present Collins has ■;6 models and has spent 16 years in making the scale models in detail. His ambition is to complete 100 differ ent models closely covering the field. His models include wagons, a horse-drawn fire ladder truck, two gas generating wagons which are models of those used in the* Civil War, covered wagons and railroad express wagons. The way in which Collins goes about getting his material low these projects is painstaking. He finds a large true-to-life model and takes many pictures of it from all angles. From the photos ho makes detailed drawings of the wagons. Talks to the Boys He also talks to old-time car riage makers and learns their tech niques so that it will enable him to take shortcuts in his work. 'I hen he goes to work on the tiny models. Collins used to be group super visor in the engineering experi mental department for Lockljjea Aeroplane company in Los An geles before he was employed here 1 i.i elevator is different from Ike rest of the elevators on cam pus It takes a key to call tlx* ele vator and a key to operate. Stu dents will use the stairs, i All through the building are re j'y.irch labs for graduate students land professors In chemistry, phys nrs, and the biological sciences. I •. Unices arc arranged in two ways. Some professors prefer to have the lab bark of their office while others like it the other way around. Blackboards are placed at vari ous spots on the hallways. This makes it handy for graduate stu dents or instructors to answer questions of passing students. Lighted bulletin boards with glass doors that lock and show cases are also in abundance. The new building is complete even to the incinerator for burning waste biological products. The chemistry department has waited 30 years for this building, but they feci that it was worth waiting for. / A (J.ASS IN ZOOLOliV, assembled In tin1 largest zoology.

Huestls, professor of I'll IS IS one of tho largo chemistry laboratories. About 50 .students can work at one time in this room. Bathtubs for the Frogs LIVE FROGS are stored in the bathtubs in the foreground, for use in lab demonstrations. Fish are kept in many small aquariums similar to the one on the right, against the back wall. The tubs and aquariums are so arranged that water is continually flowing in and out of them. S. Y. CH’EN, associate professor of physics, watches while graduate student Ted Wisniewski conducts a spectroscopy experiment in one of the physics laboratories. FENNELL'S FENNELL'S © J. ..JTZEN
