nsure Facilities
senting the five year
ion program to the
e, the Regents requested
$9,897,000 for 1958-59 to initiate
a plan "designed to insure that
the facilities and standards for
educational services at the Uni-
versity can meet present needs
and keep pace with the demands
foreseen for the next five years."
Included in the request were
funds for construction of the
Medical Science Building (ap-
proved) $250,000 for the School
of Music, (postponed), $1,200,000
for the second unit -of the Fluids
Engineering Building on North
Campus (postponed), $1,500,000 to
start construction of the Physics
and Astronomy Building (ap-
proved) and $1,700,000 for the
Heating Plant and Serives Build-
ing (approved).
Planning funds requested by
the Regents and not approved by
Gov. Williams included $368,4000
for second unit of the Medical
Science Building, $370,000 for a
Dental Building, $175,000 for a
North Campus School of Educa-
tion Building, $194,000 for a North
Campus College of Architecture
and Design, Building, .$300,000 gof
North Campus Development and
$240,000 for a North Campus Ma-
terials and Metallurgy Building.
The Regents also requested
$175,000 to begin planning of the
Mathematics and Computing
Center but the Governor recom-
mended the entire 4.36 million
dollar construction amount be ap-
proved this year.
University officials expressed
disappointment about the lack of
a recommendation to complete
the fluids engineering Building
and postponement of the North
Campus projects.
John G. McKevitt, Assistant to
Wilbur K. Pierpont, Vice -Presi-
dent for business and finance said
it takes as much as four years for
planning and completion of state
institution buildings.
This may cause a "pinch" in
facilities in the early 1960's, Uni-
versity Vice-President William
Stirton said.

"Operation Psychotecture" has'
revyaled that Hill Auditorium, the
Law Library and the Union Cafe-
teria are the three most-liked
campus sites.
Psychotecture was part of a
study on the inducement of emo-
tions through architecture, car-
ried out by 10 architecture stu-
dents, who investigated reactions
caused by buildings aid parts of
buildings on the campus. The
students were all in Architecture
42, primarily a sophomore class,
and were assisted by one of their
instructors, Martin :Growald.
Each of the 10 iiembers of the
group passed out approximately
30 questionnaires which were
turned in January 13. Analysis
began the next day and a report
was made to the faculty.
The questionnaire consisted of a
list of nine campus sites, includ-
ing the Student Activities Build-
ing, Union cafeteria, Romance
Languages Building, Law Library,
General Library, Business Admin-
istration Library, Hill Auditorium,
the "Fish Bowl" and the Under-
graduate Library.
The sites listed most frequent-
ly as "dislike it" were the Ro-
mance Language Bldg., General
Library, and the "Fish Bowl," Ro-
mance Language Bldg. and Bus.
Ad. Bldg. were listed the most oft-
en as "apathetic;" and the Law
Library and Bus. Ad. Library were
listed the greatest number of
times as "unfamiliar with the
building."
Which Most Pleasant?
Three additional questions were
also asked:
What campus building is most
pleasant to you? Why?
What campus building is least
pleasant to you? Why?
Do your reactions to buildings
change with your experiences
within them, with your mood from
day to day? To what extent?
The Law Library, SAB, and An-
gell Hall took top honors as the
most pleasant buildings. The rea-
sons given for the choice of the
Law Library were that it is tra-
ditional, representing the idea of
what a college building should
look like, and it is elegant yet per-
sonal. Angell Hall is well-liked
because it is "classic," it repre-
sents learning, is peaceful, and
gives one the feeling of stability.
Buildings Old, Dreary
Romance Language Building,
East Hall, and Tappan Hall re-
ceived first place in the least
pleasant division. Reason given
were that these buildings are old,
dreary, dark, unsafe, out-dated,
and don't "fit in" with the other
campus buildings.
In answer to the question as to
whether reactions to buildings
change with experiences in them,
it was found that many times if
a student has had an unpleasant
experience in class, he tends to
dislike the class building. Also, as
one continually goes to a building,
he tends to like it better.
From the results of the com-
pleted questionnaires, several con-
clusions were drawn by the com-
mittee members, who felt they
had obtained a fairly representa-
tive cross-sample of student opin-
ion.
Favor New
The majority of students, they
concluded, prefer the new versus
the old, changing crowds and
scenes, and those buildings which
are clean, bright, and visually at-
tractive. The more pleasing a
structure, the more it is liked re-
gardless of its style; whether Eng-
lish Gothic, as the Law Library,
or modern, as the SAB.
This study was unusual in the
architecture: department and also
on the class level on which it was
done. The results of studies such
as this may ultimately effect the
design of homes, places of busi-
ness, churches, schools, all types
of architecture, members of'the
student group said.

TEAMSTERS PRIME FACTOR:
AFL-CIO Merger Fights Focus in State;
Problems Occur with Delinquent Unions.

By SUSAN HOLTZER
(JRDITOR'S NOTE: The following
article summarizes the views of la-
bor ' experts on the AFL-CIO's at-
tempt to effect a merger in Michi-
gan, and analyzes the situation in
regard to the backsground and pres-
ent events.)
Michigan appears to have been
chosen the battleground by the
AFL-CIO in its fight to effect
union mergers at a state level.
The decision of the AFL-CIO
Executive Council to force a merg-
er in Michigan seems based on the
feeling of union officials that it
would pave the way to mergers in
other important industrial states
where the AFL and CIO still func-
tion separately. These states, in-
cluding New York, Pennsylvania,
California, and Illinois, contain
the bulk of the union's member-
ship.
The Executive Council voted
Tuesday to revoke the charters of
the state's 'warring Michigan Fed-
eration of Labor and the CIO
Council and place them under
separate receivership. A new char-
ter and constitution will be is-
sued to a united organization at
a special merger convention, to be
held in 'Grand Rapids Feb. 24-28.
Hoffa Obstacle
The biggest obstacle in the path
of a Michigan merger is the
presence of President James Hoffa
and his Teamsters Union in the
MFL.
The Federation, in defiance of
Professors Die During Recess
national headquarters, has con-
sistently refused to expel the
Teamsters, although they were
ousted from the parent organiza-
tion in December on charges of
corruption. The AFL-CIO Execu-
tive Committee considered invit-
ing local Teamsters to quit and
rejoin the parent group, but de-
cided against it at Tuesday's
meeting.
Prior to his union's expulsion,
Hoffa headed the MFL merger
committee. It was his insistence
on equal representation and divi-
sion of assets between the 300,000-
member MFL and the 700,000-
member CIO that blocked the first
two series of conferences.
Teamsters Retained
Following ouster of the Team-
sters at a national level, Hoff a
was replaced on the merger com-
mittee, but several other Team-
sters were retained. The CIO
Council refused to meet with
them, and the MFL refused to re-
move them.
AFL-CIO Vice-Presidents Jo-
seph D. Keenan and K.S. Buck-
master, named by President
George Meany to mediate the dis-
pute, were unsuccessful. They fi-
nally recommended the course of
action the union has taken, and
will now ,take charge of the Grand
Rapids convention, pending elec-
tion of permanent officers.
Combatants Meet
What will happen now depends
on the outcome of the special
merger convention. It is here the
quarreling organizations will come
face to face with Meany's, deter-
mination to form a cohesive union
at all levels. And once again, the
presence of the Teamsters pre-
sents an imposing obstacle.
