Research. Division
Hit Hardest in Fire
The Division - of Academic Pet
search and Services suffered the
greatest lasses in the fire in Grad
uate Hall Monday night, Leslie P.
Greenhill, associate director, said
yesterday.
, DARS recently had relocated its
offices and some of its equipment
from the fourth floor of Old Main
to the third floor of Grad Hall.
The third floor was the most se
verely damaged by the fire which
started in the attic of the build
ing when it was struck by light
ning during a thunderstorm.
A COMPLETE EVALUATION
'of what is missing or destroyed
has not yet been completed.
Greenhill said, but so far it scents
a "good number of research re
ports" were lost and about 60 per
cent. of the books.
Most of the office etluipment
was badly damaged by fire, water
or falling •debr, Greenhill said.
Two out of four of the typewriters
were a total loss and office dupli
cating machines 'and several lane
records were not repairable, lie
said.
Some students managed to get
a valuable projector and some file
cabinets on the =third floor out of
the building before the fire spread
to those offices. Greenhill said.
DABS HAD MOVED the equip
ment into Grad• Hall at the"begi3•
ning of August and had recently
completed the arrangements of all
equipment and records.
Temporary headquarters have
been set up in the old DABS of
fices on the fourth floor of Old
Main. he said. •
One of the reasons that even
half of the books and papers were
saved is that the floor of the attic
story fell down on top of sevenl
offices and protected some recoids
from destruction, he said.
In other cases the fire actually
burned out some of the offices
and equipment on the third floor.
