Price Of Progress
'Lounge Lizards9 Cramped
By Hammering Workmen
With about half of the main
lounge in the Union being rapidly
boxed off, many students last
week looked a little perplexed at
the workmen's invasion.
Metamorphos
What has been the TV end of
the Union is being metamorphosed
into a cafeteria serving area, said
Duane Lake, managing director
of the Union. '
Temporary partitions are going
up to close off this section of the
lounge. This is primarily to keep
out dust and section off work
areas, Lake said.
Hammers and drills are also
much in evidence in the basement
of the Union where work is being
done in the old game roeni area.
Original plans did not call for this
work to begin this early, Lake
said. Weather conditions have
slowed work on the addition to the
extent that in order not to fall
behind schedule, workmen have
started in on the old Union build
ing. President's Breakfast
Facilities to be offered in the
Union after completion of the ad
dition were explained to about 65
heads of campus organizations Sat
urday morning at the President's
Breakfast, Lake said.
A new sound highlighted the
breakfast, as a stereophonic sound
system was demonstrated.
Music Rooms
Three music rooms in the ad
dition will replace the one in the
old Union, said Lake.
One room will be for classical
music, one for popular music and
a third will feature the new stere
ophonic sound set up.

Outdated
After "ears of working in an out-i
dated uilding, the College of
Pharmacy has a new home.
The College will move to a new
building, Lyman Hall, immediately
following the summer session, ac
cording to Pharmacy Dean Joseph
Burt.
Built in 1885, the old Pharmacy
Building has witnessed a great
many changes on the University
campus. It was originally built to
house the chemistry department,
but it soon became inadequate.
When Avery Laboratory was com
nleted. the Pharmacy College and
Student Health moved in and took
possession of the vacated chem
istry building.
The Student Health with its over
flow of patients in 1946, was forced
to move to its present location.
Since then, the Pharmacy Col
lege has continued to outgrow; the
building. "We won't be sorry to
leave," said Dr. L. D. Small,
Chairman of the department of
Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical
Chemistry. "The roof leaks, the
plumbing is obsolete, the doors
stick, wind blows in around the
windows and plaster is forever
falling down. We used to have
more classes ud stairs," he con
tinued, "until the second floor be
came unsafe for more than a few
students at a time."
If in no other place, many stu
dents have left their mark on the
old building. The blackened ceil
ings smolter yet where various
reactions have caused paint to
turn black.
"We've had a few small fires
and exDlosions. but in our new
building, we will have safety show
ers above every door. This should
eliminate much of the hazard of
a fire," he explained.
"All in all, the new Lyman Hall
is just about everything we have
been needing and wanting for

Cranford as guest speaker at the
evening banquet.
Cranford, Associate Professor of
Journalism at the University, dis
cussed the methods of internation
al communication and advantages

Student Advisory Committee.
Music for the programs will be
provided by the Madrigal Singers
at the morning convocation and
Leon Lishner, professor of music,
at the banquet.
Dr. Norman Thorpe heads the
Fiftieth Anniversary Committee.
He is assisted by Dr. Walter Beggs,
Dr. Madison Brewer, Miss Luvicy
Hill, Dr. Leroy Laase, Mrs. Ruth
Levinscn and Dr. Charles Neidt.
According to Dean Henzlik, ap
proximately 1000 people, many stu
dents included, are expected to at

Impressions
Social Workers
Study Starkweather
"It should be mere possible to
spot potential criminals before
they act out against society," said
New York social work educator
Harold Stein during an interview
last Friday. Stein was referring to
the case of Charles Starkweather
Stein spoke at the two day social
work institute given by the Grad
uate School of Social Work. He
gave a series cf lectures on the
application of knowledge from
social sciences to social work.
"If Starkweather's 'antisocial
tendencies' had been spotted early
enough, it is possible that he could
have been helped to become a use
ful member of society," Stein said.
He stressed that such rehabilita
tion would have depended upon
whether the 19-year-old youth had
a conscience or the capacity to de
velop one.
More funds and trained person
nel would help agencies do a bet
ter job of crime prevention, ac
cording to Stein. A great deal is
already being done.
The educator feels that the social
worker needs a deeper understand
ing of social environment which
might be attained through the
social sciences. The adaption of
adding social sciences to the edu
cation of social workers is rela
tively new and on the general level.
Stein hopes it will become more
widespread in the future.

the new building isn't as large as
