By CHESTER CRITCHFIELD
The vacant lot behind the old
science building is rapidly disap
pearing, and in its place the new
science hall is taking shape. Even
the casual passer-by can! nt>te
daily additions to the structure.
This $560,481 building is be
ing built by the J. W. Bateson
Company of Dallas and is sup
posed to consume 225 work days.
It was started last August and
should be ready for classwork by 1 ;
next September.
Some of the improvements
over the old science hall that will
be most noticed by students
lucky enough.to have courses in
the new building next fall will
be a fine lecture room, featuring
built-in loudspeakers in the
walls, a projection booth for vis
ual aids, acoustically treate
faces, and a seating capac
260 persons.
In the alcove adjoining
ture room will be a wall ae

and make miscroscopic work

According to Dr. C. Doak, head
of the Biology Department, one
of the greatest benefits of the new

Peniston Explains
Sbisa Line Flows
Irregularity of the flow of diners
through the line at Sbisa Mess Hall
was listed as the chief reason for
not having three lines, [in a letter
to Keith Allsup, president, stu
dent senate, from J. G. Peniston,
director of subsistence.
Peniston explained that from 7
to 7:35 a. m.j during th^ breakfast
htiur of 7 td 8 a. m., the line is
practically empty. During the next
fifteen minutes there is a rush
and then it begins to taper off
again.
At dinner both lines are fairly
full from 11:15 to 11:30 a. m.,
then one line is usually closed un
til 11:50 a. m. as there are not
enough people for two lines com
ing through, Peniston continued.
A rush begins and two lines are
used from ll:50 to 12:30, after
which time one line is again ade
quate.
At supper which lasts from 6
to 6:16 p. m., two lines are used
from 6 to 5:45, then one line is
again adequate for those coming
through.
British to Vote On
Government Controls
London <A*)—Winston Churchill
says the big issue in Britain’s
next national election will be
steel nationalization.
The conservative leader, already
campaigning for return to the
prime minister's post ho held dur
ing the war, said last night the
election will be "almost a referen
dum” on whether the public wants
the government to take over the
nation’s giant steel industry.
