COMPLETE CAMPUS COVERAGE Vol. 30 No. 6 PLANS COMPLETED ON ADDED WOMEN'S HOUSING FACILITIES Architects Outline Structures In Attempt To Secure Federal Funds TRUSTEES AWAIT ACTION OF CONGRESSIONAL BLOC Two Buildings Will Stand East Of Grange Dormitory, Drawings Show ' Complete pland for additional hous ing facilities for women students on the campus have been drawn 'up by -the College architects during the past several months in an effort to secure funds from the federal government for construction purposes; it was re vealed yesterday by administration of ficials. Recently appointed by the Board of Trustees of the College, a committee has been studying the application of federal limns to colleges of the coun try under the supervisions of the pub lic works building act approved by Congress last spring. The report of this group will furnish the College with data which, it is hoped, will be instrumental in securing the loan. Buildings Planned • Two buildings, to be built to the southeast of Grange dormitory, are the basis of the new plans. The finish ed project will be similar in location to the men's dormitory 'system, with the two new buildings. 6cetipying the same relative position to Grange dorm itory as Watts, and Freer halls do to the original Varsity hall. . Each building will contain' five individual units, with accoinodations for approxiMately thirty women sta . dents and a. chaperone., Each of the • units will be connected with the.next lrliy-a-one- - Stoir-livitieand:-reeClition room, which would :give , ' the outside appearance' of cine building. • 'Constructed in eliptical form, the buildings will' open. on. a. court. Al though there will' be no radicial de-' parture from the general type of arch itecture used on the newer. College buildings, propoSed units will differ in design and decoration. The individual housing units will be four stories in height, with rooms aecomodating from one to three stu dents. Quarters for the chaperone will be provided on the first floor. Will Contriin Offices Each Hying room will open on a porch set between the two en closing dormitories and facing: the court. There will also be a small ante room for the reception of visitors. Of fices for members of the administra tion will be located- at the ends of the building. • • While no definite plans have been made as to the disposition of the com pleted houSes, it is believed that the various, fraternities now occupying houses on the campus, including those quartered in the present dormitories, would be given preference in the se x ',action of the proposed new buildings. Rushed to Completion These increased housing facilities 'on the campus would enable the ad ministration to, move all women stu dents• now living in the town to Col lege dormitories, Although if the con struction of a new library building 'would be approved, it would necessi tate removal of the women's building with the 'subsequent filling of town dormitories again. Plans for women's dormitories were rushed to completion this summer -after legislation•approving a series of loans for construction of public build ings and works had been made by the federal administration. The adminis tration hopes to- receive a series of. loans 'which will• enable the College to finish several uncompleted build ing projects; including construction of the main building of the Liberal Arts unit and a new library building.
