Known as the Unistrut system, the new steel framing construction method is not unlike a toy erector set in form, according to Prof. C. Theodore Barson, project super- visor. Its advantage lies in its economy a n d adaptability to changing situations. ** * EASY EXPANSION and reduc- tion of the building itself, optional partitions controlling the number and size of the rooms, and con- veniently interchangeable panels of blackboard, greenboard and bulletin board highlight the plan. Mobility is the keynote of the new development. Built by the Unistrut method a school can be dismantled and reassembled in a different location for re- use with no more than a 1 % material loss.

No fixed materials, such as cement, are needed. No holes need to be drilled and the whole unit can be assembled with a wrench, mallet and screw driver. No sub-assembly plant is required for fabrication of parts. There is a possibility that the United States Office of Educa- tion may try the new system to build . schools for construction workers at atomic energy plants to be built in Georgia and Ken- tucky, Prof. Larson disclosed. Adaptability is vital to these schools because of the ever changing number and location of the workers. A full-sized model of a corner of a proposed schoolhouse has been erected in the architecture school. k* k ..STEEL FRAMING members, as- bestos cement panels and sheets of glass or plastic are the princi- pal materials used in the new system. Because they are inorganic the materials used are rot-proof, termite-proof and fire resistant. Prof. Larson noted that the metal ramp which is used in place of stairs is a great ad- vantage to children and teachers alike because it scrapes muddy shoes while at the same time eliminating lothesome steps. The system is designed to cut operations time too. By decen- tralizing the heating system, in- dividual sections of the school- house can be independently regu- lated. A system of warm-air convection heats each zone of the proposed school. One heating zone is com- posed of only one or two class rooms. Each zone has its own in- dependently controlled residential- type furnace installed either in a utility closet, an attic, or a sep- arate utility room. * * * WINDOWS IN the exterior walls of a school built by the new me- thod extend from ceiling to base- board level so that a maximum of daylight may be admitted to each room. Fluorescent lamps above insulating slabs of fiber- glass provide a uniformly high level of illumination in addition to the windows. Because it is hard to predict the length of time a schoolhouse may be needed in a particular location, a school built by the Unistrut method will be con- structed to withstand weather and general wear and tear for 50 years or more. Durable and high-quality material will be used. Two factoryabuildings and an experimental farm building are the only structures in which the method has been put to practical use as yet.

Arranged to fit vacation bound students' time schedule and ease the strain on their pocketbooks, the busses will leave at 11 a.m., 1:30, 3:15 and 5 p.m. from the League. No tickets will be sold on the busses, but they may be procured tomorrow through Thursday. Bus fare will be fifty cents. school in collaboration with the engineering college and the educa- tion school, it was developed on a strictly part-time basis by many professors and graduate students in all three schools. Two of them plan to build homes by the method they de- veloped as soon as supplies are available. Book Finished On Assessing A handbook which will stand- ardize assessing procedures throughout the state will be put out by the Institute of Public Ad- ministration within the next year. Professor John Lederle, director of the Institute, announced the preparation of the manual jointly with several leading tax and as- sessing experts at the conclusion of the Assessor's Short Course. Cooperating with the IPA in the preparation of the guidebook are the Municipal Assessors' Associa- tion and the Michigan State Asso- ciation of Supervisors. T H E COMPLETION of the handbook will result in better and more equitable tax assessment, the officialsupredicted. Standard as- sessing practices and uniform rates are a much needed reform in Michigan, the IPA office said. A committee of four advisors will assist the Institute in prepar- ing the manual which will be pub- lished by the tax commission. Arrangements for the manual were completed during the sessions of the Short Course for Assessing Officers conducted last week at the University. Daily Classifieds Bring Quick Results By HARLAND BRITZ The charge of professionalism in athletics has been levelled at a surprise target-the University of Chicago. At the former Big Ten school, w h i c h de-emphasized athletics with the advent of Robert Hutch- ins, the alumni bulletin reported a $3,000 scholarship fund for boys of high academic standing who would be interested in participat- ing in varsity athletics. Fudge To Solo In'U' Pop ConcertTod ay James Fudge, Grad., will be the featured baritone soloist for the University Concert Orchestra's second "Pop" concert at 2:30 p.m. today in Alice Lloyd Hall. A new organization on campus, the concert orchestra consists of about 50 students representing about 10 different schools at the University. The group is conduct- ed by Prof. Emil Raab of the School of Music. Songs that Fudge will sing were all especially arranged for the or- chestra by orchestration students of the School of Music. These in- clude Soliloquy from "Carousel" by Hammerstein and Wilson, "The Hills of Home" by Fox and Smith, and "Hard Trails" by Burleigh and LeClair. The Orchestra will also perform songs by Rossini, Tschaikowsky, Grieg, Khachaturian, Walton, Ni- colai and Coates. The concert will be open to the public. Trials To Continue For 'Princess Ida' Tryouts will continue from 1 to 6 and from 7 to 11 p.m. today in the League for next semester's Gilbert and Sullivan production, "Princess Ida." There will be no rehearsal until after final examinations, according to G and S vice-president, Lois Gauger, '53SM. THE ARTICLE stated that an eighteen year old third year col- lege student with JV track experi- ence, "was the first to enjoy the generosity of the alumnlus." The article also quoted a speech by Chancellor Lawrence Kimpton at last year's banquet for varsity and alumni letter winners. The Chancellor said at that time: You men can be of great service to the University. You can encourage boys, of the calibre we desire, to come to Chicago. And you can furnish the funds to provide for them while they are here." Immediately following the pub- lication, which was headlined, "Athletic Scholarship," Dean Rob- ert Strozier claimed that "the University does not buy athletes and will not as long. as (he is) chairman of the scholarship com- mittee. OVER AT YALE, the Under- graduate Affairs Committee, ve- toed a dormitory request to serve "setups" at college dances. The opponents of the resolu- tion pointed out that the col- leges were already allowed to serve alcoholic punch. They also felt that for the colleges to serve soft drinks would indicate a University sanction of hard liquor. On the other hand, those in fa- vor argued that the University has already allowed students to have liquor in their rooms. They sug- gested that the "double standard," worked against the success of the college plan. NEW HAMPSHIRE University's Student Senate last week rejected 35-9, a majority committee report that would have done away with discrimination because of color, religion, or national origin in campus organizations. The frater ities there argued that "there was no vital problem on the campus," and "that indi- viduals have a choice of what fra- ternity they want to join." They also claimed that the amendment is "in direct violation of American jurisprudence because fraternity property rights would be jeopar- dized."
