E. E. Johnson, board president, added that Watson-Wagner Asso ciates of College Station have been named as architects for the proj ect. The architects will design the final building based on data sub mitted in the report. THE CALDWELL trustees ear lier this year received a grant from Educational Facilities Lab oratories, Inc., of New York to work with A&M research archi tects in studying the possibilities of Lift-Shape school construction. Lift-Shape process is a method of constructing a thin concrete shell building by fabricating a “spider web” of steel rods on the ground. The frame work is then lifted into position and sprayed with concrete. Inventor of the process is James H. Marsh, III, a member of the A&M architectural research group. Ben H. Evans, coordinator of A&M’s architectural research, said the preliminary study indicates Lift-Shape would offer Caldwell schools several advantages over conventionally - constructed build ings. “Preliminary plans show con struction costs will be substantially lower for comparable schools built by conventional processes,” Evans stated. “A closer study of costs will be made by the architects aft er final plans and specifications have been prepared.” A&M Study Finds Structural Data For Steel Beams Design data for accurate rein forcement of structural steel beams have resulted from research at A&M College’s Engineering Ex periment Station. Dr. E. P. Segner, Jr., on a proj ect sponsored by the Institute of Steel Construction, discovered a method for determining the amount of reinforcement required for rect angular openings in wide flange beams for varying combinations of stresses. The method considers points of contra-flexure at the openings and has been proven with sample beams in the laboratory. “'A PARDNER You’ll Always Win The Showdown When You Get Your Duds Done At CAMPUS CLEANERS AT THE SAME time, Evans pointed out that the building will be highly functional, and operation costs and insurance rates will be “reasonably lower.” The initial building model calls for five teaching spaces and up stairs resource center for instruc tional or study aids. The class room sizqs may be varied to ac commodate different groups. Ca pacity is 120 to 150 students. The building has a thin concrete roof, 110 feet in diameter and um brella shaped. The roof structure is the same as one constructed earlier in Hensel Park at College Station. Other advantages of the building are offered in natural lighting and natural ventilation techniques. Education Facilities Laboratories has worked with A&M architects on several other projects, including the original research on the Lift- Shape technique. WILL BE 30TH BUILDING Full Cooling In Nagle Comin, A rush of cold air through new ducts sometime in August will herald a milestone in the A&M air conditioning program. Turning on the complete ^ystem in Nagle Hall will make it the thirtieth fully air conditioned build ing on the campus, Howard Bad- gett, manager of the Office of Physical Plant, said. TWENTY-TWO of the build ings are classroom and laboratory buildings. Others include the Memorial Student Center, Cush ing Library, the System Adminis tration and the Coke Buildings, and the A&M Press. Much of the work has been done within the last five years. “Almost 100 percent of the de partments had air conditioned facilities for this summer,” Regis trar H. L. Heaton said. Contracted under a $4,700,000 program is the construction of three air conditioned dormitories and extensive renovation, including air conditioning, of four existing dormitories. The dorms will pro vide housing for approximately 2,120 students and will be ready for occupancy in about a year. The School of Veterinary Medi cine’s new trimester program, as suring year-round studies, and the increased summer enrollment means more and more students benefits from the air conditioning. Badgett said some of the first air conditioning on the A&M cam pus came immediately after World War II in research labs. It was less than 10 years ago that the library building and the Beef Cattle Short Course Ends Wednesday At Noon A&M’s 13th annual Beef Cattle Short Course ended at noon Wed nesday after a two and a half-day run. The event was sponsored by the Department of Animal Hus bandry. About 400 cowmen attended the meet designed to bring them up to date on latest beef-producing trends and problems. The busiest speaker at the con ference was Dr. Irwin Allen Dyer, professor of animal science at Washington State University, who made four talks, including a grad uate lecture. Dyer discussed recent develop ments in beef cattle nutrition, the use of enzymes in rations for fat tening cattle and the use of elec tronic computers in balancing cat tle rations. He also showed the effects of certain antibiotics on intestinal microbes in swine. His graduate lecture, heard Wed nesday night, was titled “Nutri tional Implications in the Etiology of Bloat.” Also featured at the short course was Charles Ball of Dallas, region al editor of “Farm Journal” maga zine, who spoke on sale of beef breeding stock. new wing of the Chemistry Build ing were air conditioned. They ■were the first student-used build ings to have the improvement. THE CAMPUS Power Plant furnishes the “air conditioning” in summer and the heat in winter. Air conditioning of Nagle Hall, Fermier Hall and the two build ings housing veterinary medicine classes and labs is being done by W. E. Kutzschbach Co. of Bryan under a $434,000 contract. Work on all except Nagle Hall was completed by June. Badgett said Nagle Hall, due to heavy classroom assignments, could not be made available to the contractor until June. The Nagle Hall air conditioning will be turned on in segments as segments are completed. 6 English Teaching Assistants Named The appointment of six new teaching assistants in the A&M Department of English is an nounced by Dr. John Q.
