New Uses
Sought For
Dining Halls
By PAT EVANS
Colima,/ Personnel Director
(Sixth of a Series)
Residence dining halls
would be opened in the ev
flings as recreation cente:
under a Student Encampment
proposal aimed at decentral
izing student union facilities
The Encampment workshop on
reel eation and student welfare
included the following statement
in its report approved at the En
campment plenty session.
"A gicat deal of space exists
in the new dining halls both
completed and proposed—which
is not used in the evenings . .
Dancmg, art exhibits, games and
snack bars are only some of the
act wit ais and fault] t lei which
could be planned for these areas."
The woikshop called its pro.
poal "au inexpensive and expe
ditious way to provide for the
decentralization of the Heti(
Union Building."
The following facilities were
suggested by the workshop as
inclusions in the plans for ex
panding the HUB:
• Storage spate for arganiza
how, which do not have regular
facilities elsewhere
•Room for instrument prac
tice.
•iltoie pianos.
OA general purpose room to
take the load oft the card and
game rooms when exhibits are
being staged in the HUB.
The workshop also proposed
that a Town Independent Men'
lounge be included in the cx•
paraded HUB. The report said,
". . . the town iridies are unique
in that they lack their own social
center."
Another recommendation asked
for "a large-scale publicity cam
paign to gather and disseminate
information on dances, plays, lec
tures and other recreational
events "
The AU - University Cabinet
public relations committee was
suggested as the group to run
the campaign.
The workshop suggested that
a weekly schedule of events be
puble,lied by a student service
group or honorary group.
The report section on Stone
Valley said:
"Final plans for the recreational
area are not to be drawn up for
some tune. Now is the time for
students to ask for what they
want "
The workshop recommended
that Cabinet request the Out
ing Club to take on The respon
sibility of determining what
facilities are desired there by
the students.
Ot her recommendations on
Stone Valley were:
•The whole area should be
tightly roned so that no good
beach is occupied by structures.
• Since the possibility exists
that student organizations
might be able to build cabins
in Stone Valley, this possibility
should be made known by Cab
inet.
•Bus service should be pro
vided from campus to Stone Val
ley
David Fineman was chairman
of the workshop. Heather Lohr
entz was secretary.

"GOD'S LITTLE ACRE" ,
Robert Ryan -- Aldo Ray
Typical State College rains,
plus underground electrical
and sewer operations, have
delayed construction on the
Hammond Engineering Build
ing along College Avenue,
said Ray Hollister, superin
tendent of the project.
Work hit a snag when sewer
and wire connections had be torn
out and moved. At present, walls
of the former buildings are still
being torn down. In most cases
the removal of the walls is all
that remains in the demolition
process.
Last week a huge crane was
brought to the scene to speed up
operations. The crane has a max
imum length of 118 feet and its
boom is 75 feet. Its capacity
ranges from 3100 to 6600 pounds,
depending on the radius of the
boom, or giant arm.
Hollister said he can't make
any promises now about the
completion date of the new
buildings, but he hopes it will
be 1960.
He added that building oper
ations will slow down when win
ter comes, but they they will try
to work as long as poSsible and
continue to do as much as pos
sible.
Asked if a completed building
gives him a feeling of pride, he
said, "It doesn't mean anything
to you when you've built as many
buildings as I have."
Demolition operations began
last May, when a 1800 pound
ball was used to demolish the
old Petroleum Refining Labor
atories on College Ave.
S. H. Everett Construction Co.
of Bloomsburg is handling the
construction job for the buildings.
