The two-day gathering is the second in a series relating to increased production. This section is entitled “Plant Layout, Materials Handling and Warehousing/Distribution Conference.’’ The series is sponsored by the Texas Engineering Experiment Station for industrial managers and execu tives of industrial firms in Texas. “This conference is intended to identify potential production improve ment opportunities in specific areas, said Dr. Richard E. Thomas, associate dean of the College of Engineering. The national cast of speakers features Ruddell Reed, Jr., professor of engineering at Purdue University, who will present the keynote address at Refrigerators for rent Final days for renting refrigerators will he Thursday and Friday.

Rental times on Thursday are 4 p. m. to 7 p. m. and Friday 11 a. m. to 1 p.m. Student Center Complex fees paid by students are currently being wasted by groups that do not notify the University Center (UC) of their meeting cancellations. The Student Center Complex Fee is a $10 charge per semester levied on students for the upkeep of the UC and the Memorial Student Center (MSC). UC Manager Charles Cargill said the money spent from the complex fee, for setting up and cleaning of rooms is, “wasted money when they (the student groups) don’t use it (the scheduled room).” Both Cargill and UC Scheduling Manager Cannon Tax said the prob lem of cancellations is not great, at five present time. However, increasing use of the UC will bring about solid booking, said Cargill. Bookings cancelled without notifying the UC staff would then deprive other groups of the use of the facilities. The meetings that are “blocked out” are usually the source of cancel lations without UC staff knowledge, said Tax. “Blocking out” is the prac tice of scheduling a group’s meet ings a semester in advance. Two types of cancellations are re ceived by the scheduling office. Usually, the group will call if they plan to cancel. Others cancel with out notifying the staff, thus causing unnecessary room preparations. “Sometimes it’s the day after the meeting that we notice a cancella tion,” said Tax. He explained the night crew usually informs him of a cancelled meeting when they arrive at work the next day. The weekly schedule of events, printed by the UC staff, is strictly tentative and usually doesn’t in clude late cancellations, said Tax.

At present, the students and uni versity staff and faculty don’t pay for the use of the center facilities. The only groups paying for the use of rooms and services are the confer ences and the short courses offered by the extension service and the continuing education program. The rates for rooms vary with the size, ranging from $2 to $36 in the Rudder Tower and the MSC. Thea ter Complex, including the au ditorium, theater and forum, rates are $25 to $65 per hour. Labor charges, in the Rudder Tower, are three dollars for laborers and $6 for electrician/projectionists. Although student groups aren’t charged for labor or room rental in the conference tower, Cargill said, the cost of setting up the room is approximately the same as the cost for conference set-ups. The budget for the 1975 fiscal year anticipates a total income to the UC of $760,000. Of this figure, $400,000 will come from the Stu dent Center Complex fee. The re mainder will come from room and space rental from conference groups. Expenditures will equal this year’s income, according to figures supplied by Cargill. Up-to-date information on daily events can be obtained from the television monitors spread throughout the Rudder Tower. This system of monitors will be expanded into the MSC in the future.
