Building Progress
Appropriation has been made by the
Regents to complete some of the work
which has been hanging over in the1
East Engineering building. A stor-
age shed for the shops department1
will be erected in the court and elec-
tric fixtures will be installed in the li-
brary and lobby.
These fixtures will be of the same
style as, those used in the library.
In the shed, which will have two units,
with a _cement walk between, there
will be space provided for cast iron,
sand, and other shops material. A re-"
ceiving stand will also be built so the
nmaterials can be easily unloaded from
trucks and wheeled into the storage
space.
The sheds, which will be of face
brick to match the rest of the build-
ing, will allow the removal of the old
storage sheds by the side of the old
shops building. The funds appro-
priated also provide funds to supply!
class room benches of the new type
which are being made through the
Engineering shops and the Buildings
and Grounds department throughout
the building.

Build (yin Addition
Thirty-six thousand square feet of
additional office space will be provid-
ed for the staff of Dr. George A.
May, director of Waterman gymnas-
ium, when the two story addition that
is now beint built on the southeast
side of the gymnasium is completed.
It is expected that this will be done by
the last of May or sooner.
A lecture room will be provided on
the first floor, with a double door
partition so that it can be made into
two class rooms if needed. The sec-
ond floor of the addition will be de-
voted entirely to -office space. The
class rooms will be used for physical
education work.
Plans for the structure provide for
a new entrance to the gym on East
University, while the old one now fac-'
ing on the campus will be completely
remodeled. New steel roof trusses
have been built and the ol(I gym roof
will be extended to cover both parts.
Part of Power Plant Ready
Coal has been stored in the north
part of the new power plant addition,
but the extension crane has not been
completed for use. The structural steel
for this is all standing and is now be-
ing riveted in place.
The entire addition will be ready for
use by next September, and will in-
crease the boiler capacity of the plant

by 2,000 horse power. The coke ca- been laid. This is 35 feet in depth,
