Science Building Improvements
Include Space, New Equipment
By Al Karr
Emerald Managing Editor
After two terms of operation in
the University's science building,
great satisfaction.
That’s the feeling of those who
benefit fiom its use, as expressed
by R. T. Ellickson, head of the
physics department. Physics,
chemistry, and biology occupy the
building, which opened “for busi
ness" last spring term.

wo have done remarkably well,"
Ellickson said. As to problems,
he said there have been no major
"bugs.”
Cost $1,300,000
The science building is one of
the two recent structures on cam
pus, the latest being Common
wealth hall which was completed
for this academic year. Built at a
cost of $1,500,000, it now provides
space and facilities far surpass
ing that available to the depait
ments before its erection, as they
all attest. (Physics and biology
were in Deady hall, chemistry in
McClure).
The physics department was
able to put into use (on top of
the building) its 15-inch reflecting
telescope, which went unused for
five years because there was no
place to put it.
Other extensive facilities and
equipment include a spectroscopy
laboratory in the basement under
the direction of S. Y. Ch’en, asso
ciate professor of physics. Labora
tj.v space was increased greatly
over that available in Deady and
McClure.
Bathtubs for Frogs
Eiology has bathtubs for keep
ing frogs, tubs which have been
occupied last spring by salamand
ers and amphibious animals.
To such equipment as the micro
photometer in Ch’en's lab has been
added a $2,000 spectograph and
new equipment for the X-ray
diffraction apparatus, which is
used to study ways to improve
X-ray crystal structure, Ellickson
said.
And cn order for the machine
shop is a milling machine, used
much like a lathe to form metal
for use by the departments.
Some 1,500 s'tudents use the
science building, Ellickson esti
mated, and he added that the de
partments are using all facilities
and space pretty fully. An
other advantage of the building
over previous facilities, he said, is
the fact that all graduate stu
dents have work space and study
space, and undergraduate majors
also have some space of their
own.
Put To Good Use
The 204-seat main lecture room,
equipped with projection facilities
and demonstration apparatus, is
being put to good use. As an ex
ample, the highly popular physi
cal science survey course taught
by Associate Professor of Physics
E. G. Ebbighausen, had an en
rollment of about 80 in Deady.
Approximately 150 are now en
rolled, Ellickson said.
Students and staff using the
building benefit from a myriad of
improvements over previous years.
With around 150 various rooms in
the building, there are such facil
ities as a storeroom for checking
out equipment; plenty of lab, lec
ture, and office space; a reading

Some Other Facilities
The building is also equipped
with aquariums for fish, a master
switchboard for all electrical wir
ing, a fresh-air circulation sys
tem which takes the "used" air
up through roof ventilators, show
er:! in the doorways of chemistry
labs in case of acid or explosion,
a machine for chipping ice (which
was done mostly hand hand in
Deady), and animal rooms for ev
erything from tropical fish to
white rats, with dissecting rooms
and kitchens for preparing animal
food.
A genetics research lah on the
third floor of the three-floor and
a basement building has two con
stant - temperature rooms for
breeding fruit flies. It also has a
room for storing and preparing
food for the flies.
A "utility building," science has
no plaster; pumice stone with con
crete backing lines most of the
walls. The building is divided in
to some 240 ll-by-22-foot £ays,
and has expansion joints to pre
vent cracking.
