brain?
United Press International
OKLAHOMA CITY — A local
man, claiming his brain had been
pickled by beer, has filed a $2 mil
lion lawsuit against Coors beer and
the tavern owner who sold it to him.
Woodrow W. Bussey filed the
suit Monday against the Adolph
Coors Co. and tavern owner Adrian
Lovett. Bussey claimed he has been
a regular customer of the tavern
since May 1978 and “consumed
much Coors beer, which was sup
posedly non-intoxicating.”
“This ingesting of Coors beer has

pickled the brain of the plaintiff, re
ndering him incapable of writing up
to his potential or even writing in a
professional manner,” the lawsuit
said.
The lawsuit seeks $1.5 million for
“irreparable brain damage, damage
to his reputation, damage to his sex
ual prowess and damage to his liter
ary career,” and $500,000 for past
and future medical expenses.
Oklahoma law prohibits sale of
beverages containing more than 3.2
percent alcohol for consumption on
the premises.

Jlhe Ernest Langford Architec
ture Center has been carpeted and a
University official says the build
ings acoustical problems are solved.
the building has some other
problems.
Ifhe building, completed in 1977
atlacost of $6,438,100, drew com
plaints for its noise level. A combi-
■ionofhard floors, concrete walls
n a lack of partitions between
Rses caused reverberations which
Hturbed occupants of classrooms
B offices.
■Originally, bids were taken to
Broet the floors and spray the ceil
ings with insulation, but the
5110,000 allocated to the project
was not enough for both jobs, said
|r. Raymond D. Reed, dean of the
lege of architecture.
larpeting the third and fourth
>rs cost $76,000 and was com
pleted over the Christmas break, he
olin Merchant, manager of the
Jistruction division of the Univer-
B, said the acoustics problem has
Ken solved and that nothing else is
Inned for improving the situation.
Brie people do not agree.
The center uses an “open” con-
ept of design in which some class-
corns, offices, study areas and
airways are not separated by walls,
these offices are open to the build-
ngs atrium.
The perimeter of the center has
ome private offices and a few closed

classrooms. The office of the dean is
also enclosed.
Occupants of offices lining the at
rium are not allowed to put up cur
tains or partitions. The noise level is
high and little privacy exists.
Reed said original plans put stu
dent advisers in the private offices
but some advisers are in the open
offices.
Another problem in privacy exists
in the drawing areas. There are no
partitions between desks.
Reed said this was meant to allow
students in one discipline of the col
lege to share ideas with those of
another. The five disciplines are
landscape, urban and regional plan
ning, environmental design, build
ing construction, and architecture.
Several students questioned at
random approved of this idea and
cited its importance in creativity.
The four-story, 102,000 square-
foot building has also had leaks in
the roof.
Merchant said some of the leaks
have been repaired and their causes
are being researched.
Merchant said one problem with
the roof is foot traffic. Solar energy

studies are being conducted on the
roof of the building by the depart
ment of architecture and
environmental design. This con
tributes to “foot traffic” on the tar
and gravel roof, he said.
Another problem may be in land
shifting, Merchant said. This may
cause structural damage and is not
due to faulty construction.
Rooney Construction Co. of Dal
las built the center and has fixed
some of the leaks. Costs are covered
by the builder’s warranty.
Merchant said a roof ventilation
system, which will allow moisture to
escape from the roof, is being
planned to help avoid future prob
lems. Allegations have been made
that the steps which lead to the east
entrance of the architecture center
are in violation of the building code.
The university architects follow
( two building codes, the Southern
Building and the Uniform Building
Code, Merchant said.
He says the steps do not violate
either code.
