Crew and Equipment
Occupy East Campus
Construction crews and equipment seem quite the thing these days, especially on the
eastern parts of campus
Directly across from Itetzel Union on Pollock read is what will soon be the Hall of
the Americas. This building, when fully completed, will stand four itories high, contain 65
modern classrooms, and le v
Workmen said they are
in time for the spring semester.
Tramping further down campus
can be found an enormous as.,em
bly of cranes, bulldozers, and
drills that seem to occupy most
of the space across from Ather
ton Hall at Shortlidge road and
College avenue.
The construction when cl)m
!Acted will add beauty, luxurious
comfort, and living quarters for
1000 woman students on campus.
5 Separate Buildings
The entire project will consist
of five separate unit "buildings.
It will include four residence
lwlls and a dining room.
' Each unit, other than the din
ing hall, will be four stories high.
Comfort to Coeds
To add to the students' con
venience, an underground con
course will connect each unit
with the centrally located dining
hall. It is felt that this will shel
ter coeds from inclement weather
in going and coming from adjoin
ing units.
Each residence hail will be
identical in design.
New Method Used
In its actual construction, the
project will be aided in a new
construction method never oefore
used in this section of the cotin
.fry.
The first floor concrete slab
will be in normal fashion in
,each of tae dormitories: however.
upon laying the first floor Mali,
a plastic base compound is ap
plied to the surface.
Second Floor Slab
{:in top of this, workmen will
pour the second floor slab; this
will also be covered with la ptas
tic base compound. This same
procedure will be carried out un
til the third and fourth floor have
been laid one upon another.
At that time, the Lift Slab
Company, which employs the lift
slab method will enter the scene.
Hydraulic Jacks Used
Huge hydraulic jacks will be
placed over the tops of the build
ings columns and will lift the
slab floors into their proper posi
tion.
This new construction method
is believed to be able to save
much time in the project's com
pletion.
Completion, Fall. 14358

spectors on the job, it wilt be

course, Agriculture 1.
The Council amended its con

the approval of a majority of the
council members present.
Previously a majority of all the
Council members was necessary.

was a permanent organization.
The Society was created last
year.
The Council also denied repre
