FEBRUARY 23. 1956 Art Bu Economy Measure Sees Coeds Move Thirty-one coeds were moved from their rooms in three dormitories and reassigned new rooms as an economy move yesterday. The women were moved from Mac Allister Hall, Grange Dormitory, and Women's Build ing and were given rooms in three larger dormitories Atherton, Simmons, and McElwain Halls. The change was undertaken to make it possible to close one-half of the dining room in McAllister Hall. •Residents of Mac Allister, 'Grange,. and Women's Building eat in the Mac Allister dining hall. Dean of Women Pearl . O. Wes ton explained the transfer as .an economy move, allowing the de partment of foods to close one of the two food lines in MacAllistel•. Dropouts Cause Transfers Weston said. the transfers were necessitated by the number of wo men who dropped from the Uni versity between semesters and since the start of the second se mester. This number was larger than usual, she said. Miss Weston said, however, that the change in room assignments was "not a surprise move." As a further economy measure, the fourth floor of Grange will be completely closed off, Dean Weston said. Women living there will be reassigned rooms on other floors of the dormitory. ' Objections Reported Some of the women were re ported to have objected to the change. .But, according to Dean Weston, many of the transfers were made at the request of the women themselves. Some of the women who did not have to move did so in order to be with their friends. Other chan ges were made in order to allow sorority women to be near their suites. Five women were moved from Women's Buildihg, 12 from Grange Dormitory, and 14 from Mac Allister Hall. I Faculty Fund Drive Nets $2400 for.

The University of Arkansas, however. is the first and only school at the present time to have an art cen ter building. Christ-Janer is a pioneer in the movement to centralize fine arts curriculums which began taking shape in this country in 1950. He has been writing and speaking in behalf of the movement in New York and Chicago since 1947. "The essence of it," said Christ- Jailer, "is that physical proximity is far more effective than many mimographed pages on 'integra tion'." The new school consists of the following departments: each ad ministered by a head. The com ponent departments which fOrm the nucleus of the school include art, music, and theatre arts. The affiliated departments which are affiliated with, but not a central part of the school, are architec ture, art education and music edu catioh. In the component departments the department of art has replaced fine and applied arts which was formerly under the College of En gineering and Architecture. The department of music •is still in the College of Liberal Arts and continues to share joint faculty appointments with the derailment (Continued on page eight) Planned By BECKY ZP.HM A majority vote within one of being unanimous showed Tlhi to favor some kind of limited cool- pensation while one in etob e r voted for the no compensation resolution.
