OCIDBER 20, 1977 Beautifying Capitol Campus By Rick Haythornthwaite Staff Writer Students, are you tired of gaping at bare walls while standing in the hall waiting for class to start? The new designs in the hallways on the third floor are there to add some color to the Campus' Main Building. The geometric patterns which are the innovations of Neil Conway of Pittsburgh and Joe Springman of Bloomsburg, were chosen out of a number of projects that were assigned for an architectural design course given at University Park last year. There will be an exhibit of the class projects in the gallery lounge until Oct. 24. The Campus Beautification Committee chose the design and planned the painting; the Maintenance Department sup plied the paint and tools. Ms. Barbara Bleau, head of the Campus Beautification Committee and Assistant Professor of Mathematics, said that the idea behind choosing a design was to find one "that would appeal to the majority of students." According to Ms. Bleau, two work-study stu dents, Dave Osborne and Diane Porter, will finish the painting soon. The third floor patterns in the halls are only part of a growing concern of the Beautification Committee to brighten up Capitol Campus and to improve its looks. Besides the third floor work, three buildings have been painted in rousing solid colors, with three others soon to be done. In addition, four trees have been planted behind the Main Building, and about 2,000 ft. of military chain-link fence has been removed from the campus. Joseph Kemp, Physical Plant Maintenance Engineer Available at: CAPITOL CAMPUS BOOKSTORE C.C. READER and member of the Campus Beautification Committee, said that in time other floors in the Main Building will be decorated in a similar manner as the third floor. However, as long as funds are lacking, progress will be slow. sssssssssss The Pennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agency has just announced that they will give special consideration for 1977-78 grants to students whose faMilies suffered a loss of income or property due to the July 1977 flood.
