Research Scientists Move in New Rooms By EVKRETTE DENNIS Emerald Feature Editor In spite of both unique and routine construction problems. University research scientists and their staffs began moving into the first floor of the newly-com pleted east wing of the Science Building this week. THE PROFESSORS and tech nicians started moving furniture and equipment on to the first floor. Occupation of the second and other floors will begin Mon day. By the first week in Feb ruary moving will be complete. The new wing, which will house only research, is connected with the old building by a bridge and was constructed to facilitate easy access between department offic es and research laboratories. Constructed much like a sus pension bridge, the newly com pleted structure is “very unusual if not unique in this country,” said LeRoy H. Klemm, associate professor of chemistry and spe cial science assistant to the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. TWO MAIN towers and an ex ternal skeleton provide support for the building. Unlike conven tional buildings, the floors do not support the external structure. The new wing was built on bed rock to avoid outside vibration. “One cannot feel vibrations from trucks going by as is often the case in other buildings on the campus." Klemm commented. “Even when the street below was being broken up by a huge ball, no external vibration seemed to affect the building,” he said. ALTHOUGH it has been com monly rumored that Onyx St. would be extended through the archway of the new wing, this is not the case, according to the science assistant. “The area around the new an nex will be landscaped. Planter boxes have been placed around walks and lawns will follow at a later date. Klemm, who acts as a liaison man between the contractors, physical plant, and scientists, re veals that many problems, some completely unanticipated, have arisen. A MAJOR construction prob lem arose when concrete floors in the new wing cracked. They cracked as a result of contractors pouring long stretches of con crete without joints. Klemm said that the cracks have been filled with a concrete bonding cement. The contractors had originally anticipated hair line cracks in the floor, but noth ing quite as large as the result ing breaks. The floor problem is not as great as it would have been in a conventional building since the floors do not provide sup port. The floors were poured on conveyed metal. Ex-Professor Dies Dr. Arthur Russell Moore, research professor emeritus of general physiology in the Uni versity, died in a nursing home in Pacific Grove, Calif., on Sun day, Jan. 21. He had been ill for a number of weeks. Dr. Moore was born in No vember, 1882. He received his bachelor’s degree from the Uni versity of Nebraska and his doc torate from the University of California. He was on the faculty of Oregon from 1926-32 and from 1934 until his retirement in 1948. THB STRUCTURE, to bo used only for scientific research, will house t’’e Institute of Molecular Biology, some of the Department of Bio'c^v. part of the Depart ment of Chcrust vv. offices of the Department of Physics and offic es of the Institute of Theoretical Sciences. A nuclear magnetic laboratory, new to the University this year, will also be included in the an nex. Laboratory instruments and appartus were purchased at $10, 000. Thomas Farrar, assistant professor of chemistry, is direct , ing the laboratory. Bio-chemistrv, physical chem istry, and parts of organic chem istry groups will also have offices jin the addition. A high-pressure hydrogenation laboratory will be located in the penthouse. ALSO ON the roof is a green house fo’* special experiments in botany. Klemm said that the bot anists will move over, as well as some of the zoologists. Gross floor space in the struc • ture includes some 56,400 square feet. Net research and office area excluding lavotories totals 27, 100. $1000 First Prize In Library Contest T»ie An y Love-nan National Award of $1,000 will be grant 'd to a senior student in a col lege or university in the United states with the most outstand ing personal library.

ItlllilllSill: mm THE PROFESSORIAL IMAGE. It used to be that professors, as soon as they were 28, took on a father image—rumpled tweeds, tousled hair, pipe. But these days, the truly “in” professor has the “buddy” look—Ivy suit, crew cut, Lucky Strikes. It seems that students learn more eagerly from someone with whom they can identify. Alert teachers quickly pounce on the fact that college students smoke more Luckies than any other regular. Have you pounced on the fact yet? CHANGE TO LUCKIES and get some taste for a change!
