Graduation Plans
Editorial on page four
Centennial commencement exercises will not be held in the event of "extzt-lize weather
conditions," Wilmer E. Kenworthy, director of student affairs, announced yesterday.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower is scheduled to speak at the outdoor graduation at
10:30 a.m. on June 11 at Beaver Field.
Kenworthy said that the commencement committee, in conjunction with Donald Bal.
thaser, senior class president, decided not to devise alternate indoor commencement exec•
cise if inclement weather prevails.
In the past, if the weather was poor, commencement was held in two sections in Recre.

Rock Slows
Infirmary
Excavation
Excavation on the southwest
unit of the two new wings which
are being added to the University
Hospital - has been temporarily
slowed down because of rock en
countered while digging the foun
dation.
Workmen are using jack-ham
mers and other power tools on the
layer of rock' which is approxi
mately 20 feet below the surface
of the ground. At the same time,
a power shovel is continuing to
enlarge the foundation.
Foundation Extends
The foundation extends f rom
the corner of the Infirmary near
est the Hetzel Union Building,
west along Pollock road and then
turns on a 90 degree angle and
extends toward th e Temporary
Union Building. Plans show that
the unit will be 50 feet wide and
130 feet long.
The only other construction
which has been done is the level
ing of the land iz. back of the hos
pital and in the northeast corner.
Another wing, which will be 38
feet wide and 123 feet long, will
be constructed at the northeast
corner of the hosptial. Excavation
has not yet been started on this
unit.
Both wings will be three floors
high and will be built of red
bricks to match the style of the
present structure. Both will have
flat roofs.
Facilities Incorporated
The unit now under construc
tion will incorporate the facilities
now offered at the dispensary in
the basement of Old Main. It will
be used primarily as an outpatient
department. The main floor will
include seven treatment rooms,
consultation rooms, a pharmacy,
inoculation room, records office
and desk, waiting room and foyer,
and the office of the University

'No Bus Strike Effects
The threatened strike of the

House, said yesterday.

speaker presenting his address
twice.
If poor weather prevails, Ken
worthy said, the basic graduation
program will be heard by radio
broadcast from a closed location.
Kenworthy emphasized that a
light shower or threatening wea
ther would probably not necessi
tate canceling the ceremonies.
He said the commencement
committee and probably the sec
ret service attaches to the Presi

ceremonies would be conducted if
the weather is poor.

Churchill's Career
May End Tonight
LONDON, April 4 (P)—Sir Winston Churchill played host to
Queen Elizabeth tonight at what was generally believed td be hie
farewell party as Britain's prime minister.
Other guests among the 50 invited to 10 Downing St. included
members of Churchill's family, his closest personal friends, the top
members of his government, of- I
ficials of Parliament and leaders
of the opposition Labor party.
The guest list gave added
weight to the belief the 80-year
old statesman was winding up his
last full day as head of the Brit-1
ish government.
Britons expect that late tomor
row afternoon Churchill will
make another call on his queens
at Buckingham Palace to hand in
his resignation. As he rides away
from the palace and down the
Mall along St. James' Park, his
car will most likely pass that of
his successor, Foreign Secretary
Anthony Eden, en route to the
palace to be formally designated
prime minister.
Crowds sensing the drama of
the passing of the great Churchill
epoch stood in Downing St. on a
warm spring day to watch the
comings and goings. Some Ameri
can servicemen were among the
throe.

AA Election
Outcome
Still Pending
No action has been taken on
the results of last week's Athletic
Association election, Ronald Wei
denhammer, AA president, said
yesterday.
Weidenhammer said he has
scheduled a conference with Har
old R. Gilbert, assistant director
of athletics, for today.
The results of the election were
not released because women re
portedly voted in the election. Un
der the AA constitution, only men
are eligible to vote.
Weidenhammer said Thursday
night it may be necessary to hold
another election. He said he would
confer with Gilbert before a final
decision is reached.
However, Gilbert attended the
National Collegiate Boxing Cham
pionships at Idaho State College
last week and just returned to
campus yesterday.
The reason some women voted
hi the election was because the
equipment necessary to jam the
voting machines to restrict voting
was not available, according to
Ernest Famous, All-University
Elections Committee chairman.
Weidenhammer s aid last night
that no figures were available on
how many women had voted in
the election.
He did say, however, that most
o' the illegal voting took place
the first day of elections.
Candidates for AA president
are Robert Hoffman, Douglas
Moorhead, and William Straub.
lan Springer is the only candidate
for AA secretary.
It is the biggest story of the
year for Britain but there are no
London newspapers to tell it. The
papers have been strike-bound tot
11 days.
Early reports were that Church.
ill would vary this routine tomor
row and go to the palace directly
after the Cabinet meeting. It was
learned tonight, however, that the
Queen is scheduled to be away
on an official visit to the Isle of
Grain in the Thames Estuary.
There also is a possibility Church
ill will delay his visit until
Wednesday.
There will be no official news
of Churchill's intentions until aft.
er he tells the Queen.
Eden will select the election
date. He could wait until the of
ficial end of the government's
term—October 1956—but the lob
bies of Parliament buzzed with
reports that May 26 will be the
des.
