PAGE TWO Animal Disease tab Construction Started The construction on a new animal disease laboratory at and it is expected that the building will be completed by The new unit, which wil] lated from other buildings anc on animal diseases. All work on animal diseases will be moved to the new building, leaving the lab oratory now in operation avail able for work with poultry dis eases. The new unit will be an “L -shaped” unit, consisting of a main building 37 feet wide and 148 feet long,' with an adjoining wing, 39 feet wide and 113 feet long. Offices, Labs in Main Wing The main wing will contain of fices, seven laboratories including a large central lab, and locker rooms. The clinical section, iso lated but adjoining the main unit, will include a pharmacy and an examining room to be used in providing veterinary services for the University livestock. Several measures have been taken in designing the center to prevent the spread of contagious diseases that may be under study. Radiant heat will be concealed in the floor and special ventilation, which forces air through filters, will be used. Walls and floors will be of tile construction to facili tate thorough cleaning and disin fection of the pens. Live steam will be used to sterilize equip ment used in the pens. The locker rooms in the main unit will be specifically designed to facilitate the changing from contaminated clothes to clean ones. Also diseased animals will not be studied in the laboratory although in some cases a speci men from a herd may l be used. Healthy animals will be intro duced to diseases thus making it possible to study the diseases Un der carefully controlled condi tions. Animals to be Separated Animals used in research will not be returned to other herds and in the cases of exotic dis eases, the animals will be de stroyed at the conclusion of the study. Eventually, it is possible that an additional small unit will be added at the end of each of the wings of the building now under construction. The addition would include an autopsy room for the study of diseased animals. A glass panel would provide a room for the study of the autopsy and observers would be able to talk to the person in the autopsy room by means of a special com munications system. An inciner ator would be provided for dis posing of diseased tissues.

Pugh St. Phone AD 8-8981 West Dorm Council OK's Constitution West Dorm Council Monday night approved the constitu tion of the Association of Independent Men after more than a month o i discussion. The vote was *7-2. At the beginning of Monday’s meeting, the council was divided into two factions. One group wanted to pass the con stitution so that “the council wouldn't have dirty hands" when it goes before the AIM Board of Governors to attempt to change the AIM election code. The other group wanted to ta ble approval of the constitution until the code changes were made. Dissention over the election code grew out of a section of the code that states that council offi cers will be elected in the Spring semester. Unfair to Freshmen The West Dorm Council, al most unanimously, thought. this was unfair to the freshman stu dents who compose approximate ly 80 per cetit of the area since they move into the- dormitories in the fall. Also, a group of council , mem bers, led by Stanley Juras, sixth semester engineering science iha* jor and former president of the council, fought to wipe out the power of the elections committee, composed of three students Who do not have voting rights on the AIM Board of Governors. l Juras explained that this group of three may veto any legislation dealing with elections. He said that the committee members have “set themselves up in a rather dic tatorial system.” “It is not up to them (the elec tions committee) to tell us how to run or when to run bur elec tions, but rather the purpose of the committee should be to en force the ethical, moral, and legal means of handling elections,” Jur as said. Sims Explains Purpose Charles Sims, eighth semester chemica]£najor and a member of the elections committee, said the purpose of the committee was “to Onforpe, the AIM elections code.” Two motions concerning' the elections code were passed by council. President James Ken- eighth semester chemistry major, will introduce the motions at the next AIM Board of Gov ernors meeting. The first motion is a compro mise on the spring ejections. It states that council president would be elected in the spring and he would appoint temporary officers unfit the remaining three posts would be filled in the fall elec tions. The second motion deals with the power of the elections com mittee. It states that the veto pow er of the • committee should 'be struck from the elections code.
