Deady Hall was dubbed a historical
landmark, preventing changes to
the structure's facade, so workers
were forced to drill through the
stone and insert the elevator
through the floors.
Math Professor Peter Gilkey said
a tradition formed soon after the
construction. Faculty members
saved the stone bricks that were re
moved; when one of the faculty re
tires, the individual receives a piece
of brick from the building.
Some students who visit the build
ing may be confused by the room
numbering, but Gilkey offered a sim
ple explanation. Some rooms, such
as the Charley R. B. Wright Seminar
Room, have bisected floors with low
er ceilings than other rooms.
"Deady Hall originally had only
three floors but this was changed
when they were bisected to make
more office and classroom space,"
Assistant Archivist Sharia Davis said.
Now, the floors start with a base
ment, and include 1, 1M, 2, 2M,
and 3. Some of the rooms have
much higher ceilings than others.
The reconstruction threw off the
numbering system, but officials did
n't want to renumber the floors,
Math Department Undergraduate
Secretary Erica Whitty said.
Other faculty members said Deady
Hall's obvious antique appeal makes
it very interesting. They say that, just
looking up from the outside, the hall
has an overwhelming power. And
with its highly arched staircases set
on the west and east, they said, it has
a distinctive look from other build
ings on campus.
"It's a beautiful building that I hope
everyone appreciates, ’ Davis said.

way better than just a simple Internet
search at home."
Other campus research spots in
clude the Architecture & Allied Arts
Library and the Law Library.
The Architecture & Allied Arts Li
brary in Lawrence Hall contains
80,000 books and other materials on
architecture, interior architecture,
landscape architecture, arts and ad
ministration, art history, fine and ap
plied arts, historic preservation and
urban planning.
The Law Library in the Law Center
contains material for researching fed
eral and state laws.
Naoko Atsusaka, a second-year
graduate in the planning, public poli
cy and management program, said
she goes to the libraries but starts her
research in the computer labs.
"1 always start doing research from
the Internet at a computer lab, trying
to get some general ideas of my top
ic," she said. "This is an important
process for me; through this process
I'll be getting some important key
words for my research topic. I would
I
then go to several online databases at
the library's Web site. Without know
ing those keywords, I won't get good
hits at the databases."
The University also has several
computer labs available to students.
The CC-EMIJ Microcomputing Lab
located in room 22 of the EMU has the
most computers, all equipped with
word-processing, spreadsheets, desk
top publishing and electronic commu
nications, as well as Internet access.
During the school year, the lab is open
Monday through Thursday from 7:30
a m. to 2 a.m., Friday from 7:30 a.m. to
8 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
and Sunday from 12 p.m. to 2 a.m.
The CC-McKenzie Lab, located in
101 McKenzie, has an instructional
classroom and an open lab. Its hours
are Monday through Thursday from 8
a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday from 8 a.m. to 5
p.m., and Sunday from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Some of the campus libraries have
computer labs, too.
Both the Knight and Science li
braries offer Information Technology
Centers (ITCs), which are on their
buildings' second floor and basement,
respectively. The ITC provides access to
on- and off-line electronic information
induding Internet resources and mul
timedia products. Ihe ITC's equipment
indudes 32 Macintosh and 52 Win
dows workstations. It is open Monday
through Thursday from 8 a m. to mid
night, Friday from 8 a m. to 7 p.m., Sat
urday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Sun
day from 11 a.m. to midnight.
Research, however, does not have
to be a "location." For Johnson, find
ing a person to ask or talk to is always
another alternative.
"I was doing a research paper on
life in Lyon, France, during the En
lightenment, which was a fairly ob
scure topic, * he said. "But it turns out
that a history professor here at the
University does his diesis on Lyon."
Johnson said he was able to inter
view the professor, which yielded
valuable information and related
books on the topic.
" Ihere are many passionate schol
ars out there who most likely have a
sincere interest in your topic," John
son said. "They will be an invaluable
resource, much better than any book
or journal article."
