To Be Vacated
For Next Session I
New System of Dorms Will
Make Room for Everyone
For First Time ia Years
BY RAY TREADWELL
Next year will see the sudst
corps occupying the newest, most
pomfsetahls, dormitory system A
jft M. has ever had. Under this plan
majority of the student body
will be located in the new dormi
tory unit composed of if buildings
ito be finished by September, or in
newer build pigs of the present
itory system.
“Cadets will be placed turn to s
room over the entire campus and
upon the completion of the pew
dormitorie^it is expected that the
older and leas desirable halls will
not be used for the housing of the
students”, was the announcement
made this week by the Camman-
dant’s office.
With the completion of the new
bdUdings H will be possible to ac
commodate all students O ho want
rooms in the dormitories, a thing
that has been impossible in the
past due to the lack of adequate
rooms.
OLD HALLS TACATBD
By this plan it will not be iadsa-
sary to use such buildings aa Rasa
and Foster, end the corps will be
located ia only the best at the
present 12 dormitories in one. Com
pletion of the 12 new dorms will
mark the end ef a fire year drive
by officials of the college to sacure
thorn. x ''
The dormitories, when finished,
will be of the same general design,
with a few reriutfons to give a
more pleasing appearance. Each ;
hall will be divided in the eeater by
a partition
The side rooms, made la ac
commodate tan stadenta, will
he 11 by 14 feet, with aft iadi-
v ideal closet for each occupant,
oae large aluminum fram.d
window, a lavatory sad medl-
riae closet, two desks, a dreaa-
er. and a double bunk. The ear
ner rooms will be 12 by 1C
with two large windowu. On
each side of the hsll on each
, floor there wilt be a shower
room with six ehowera. The
shower rooms will have con
crete fleers and eolor«*d plas
tered walla.
RADIO AERIALS BUILT D(
A new feature for the dorms is
the fact that in addition to the
regular light socket in the reilmg
and the plug-in socket on the WftllL 1
each room will be equipped » h
s plug-in socket on the wisQ for ft
radio which wQl be connected with
0 built-in radih aerial and ground,
thus adding tb the attraeMreaese
of thr buildings by removal of vto4 ,
ible aerials and the saving of that
expense to the students.
The southeast dormitory ef the
group, whkh will bo on the east
side of the miss hall will be assd
as s band hall, and will have oft
the top floor, a sound-proof prae-
tice room. Both tha Artillary and
the Infantry hands w.llbei located
the new unit and plans hare
been formed by Colonel Dunn, band
master, for oae band to play for
retreat and marching for paoh dor
mitory unit so that all student will
■hare the band.
ATHLETIC DORMITORY
Dormitory No. 2, meat of the new
mess hall, is being constructed ear
pudally for the athletes and
be completely equipped to take
care of them with a steam room,
aa X-rey room, trainer’s rooms,
showers, arid various othftr'Con
veniences for the uae of the ath
letes in training for l^th major
and minor sports
For the convenience of the stu
dents it is pfeaned that dormitory
No. 7, next to the Consolidated
School and the dorm closest to the
campus propft^ will have ia it a
reception room, furniahed and con
ducted by tha Y. M. (X A^ which
will occupy the space of I nortn£
rooms. If present plans are com
pletod it W«1 be furnished for
ladies, and may aarre aa a waiting
room for visitors to the campus
