only 10 years after its opening,
the Wilson building at Eleventh
and Harvard streets NV. was
evacuated when inspectors found
cracks in it's walls. 1t was re-
occupied a year later after ex-
tensive repairs. but cracks came
back later, causing efforts to get
a replacement built. Despite wide
support. these efforts failed.
Students Complain
Several years ago new college
buildings were included in a pro-
posed construction program, but
they were deferred. mainly be-
cause of the prospect of inte-
grafton.
In 1858 students took the mat
ter into their own hands, bonn
harding newspapers and school
board members with complaints
about poor conditions. Inspec-
lions at Wilson uncovered rails
missing from stairways, dilapi-
dated gym lockers and plumbing,
and virtually no space for ath-
letics, a hopelessly crowded IL
brary and secondhand kitchen
equipment.
A visit last Friday found all
these conditions exactly the
same. The chief difference was
that the Wilson and Miner build
ings have now juggled their fac
ulties and students. and many
must hot-foot 1t to- cover tho six
or seven blocks between the two
buildings to make classes.
Miner, which like Wilson was
built in 1918, is on Georgia ave.
niue near Euclid street NV. It
has not had to be rebuilt be-
cause of cracks, but the faculty
considers it far from adequate.
Both Wilson and Miner were
built as old-fashioned, two-year
normal schools, to accommodate
enrollments of at most two OF
three hundred. The teachers
college now has some 1,160 stu
dents. BY 1871. officials think
enrolment may reach nearly
$500. The college couldn't con-
ceivably house that number.
Shortcomings Listed
The chief shortcomings that
make the present buildings
rather hopeless. according to DR.
Hager. are these:
/. They have practically no
physical education space. Wilson
has two tennis courts. Students
must travel to other schools or

Opening off the dining room Mr..
Smith built an IS by 20 foot
screened porch with tiled floor.
Here the Smiths three young
grandchildren, who live nearby,
play in warm weather. The only

that his house was one of the first

says, is no more expensive than
more conventional forms, and re-

that he's selling for SO each.
Seems they're made by a
famous suit manufacturer, who
makes skirts out of pieces of i'm
ported fabric that are left over,
but are too small to make whole
suits. Because they're priced SO
low, Mr.. Bendit can't tell me the
name of the maker. They run in
sizes 10 to Is (there goes my luck
again - no sevens).
