Glhe finest of its kind.

narily open for activities from 8

winter seasons, the hours are ex-
tended so that the building is
open until 10 p.m. and the pool
from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. Time for
showers is given in the spring,

Health Building
BeingErected
Largest And Most Complete
Unit Of Its Kind
Now under construction, and sched-
uled to be completed during the year
is a new Health Service building
which will be one of the largest and
most complete units of its kind in
the country.
The new unit, located on Twelfth
Street, next to the Dental Building
addition and across from the Michi-
gan League, will be four stories high
and will house all of the Health
Service facilities.
The basement will house kitchen
and like services, while the first floor
will be chiefly occupied by a nurses
treating room, a lecture room, phar-
macy and the business and adminis-
trative offices.
Special services, such as X-ray,
dentistry, eye, ear, nose and throat
specialists, allergy and mental hy-
giene sections and laboratoric..
The infirmary will occupy the third
floor of the new building, and 60
beds, mostly in privte one-to-two
bed. rooms, will be provided. The
fourth floor will not be completed
this year, but space has been provid-
ed there for doctors' and orderlies'
rooms, a lounge for patients and a
sun deck.
Pacific Track Supremacy
Reasons Told By Coach
Pavorable weather and a popular
interest in track are leading factors
in the national supremacy of track'
teams from the Pacific Coast, accord-
ing to Coach Ken Doherty. He point-
ed to the fact that the largest crowd
to view a track meet outside of the
Olympics watched the last National
Collegiate meet at Los Angeles.
Intramural Pool Is One Of The Best
One of the most beautiful pools in the country is the Intramural
pool, whose green tiles and cork-lined walls reflect themselves in the
color of the water. It is the scene of all Michigan home dual meets and
last year was the pool in which they National Collegiate meet was held.
One of the features is the north wall, which can be raised by power-
ful machinery to form a single room of the pool and adjoining auxiliary
gym.
