Theater staff hears hammers?

The pounding of hammers and
whining of electric saws echo
through Bizzell Hall. Amid saw
dust, stacks of 2-by-4's and a few
crumpled candy wrappers strewn
on the floor, the theater arts staff
tries not to notice the work on the
building’s third floor.
The Texas A&M University
Physical Plant is remodeling the
third floor of Bizzell Hall for its
future occupants — the Office of
University Research.
All classes previously sche
duled to be taught on the third
floor of the building have been
moved, but the remodeling has
proven an inconvenience for thea
ter arts, Richard Sodders, director
of theater arts, said.
“The workmen just showed up
one day and started knocking out
the ceiling,” he said.
Several theater arts faculty
members who have offices on the
floor are having to work around
the workmen.

The remodeling was originally
scheduled for this summer, after
the theater arts staff” had moved to
its new facilities in the Academic
and Agency Building, William G.
Dowling, director of academic
planning and services, said.
But, “I think they (physical
plant employees) are trying to get
a jump on things,” he said. "Their
schedule is very tight this sum

Academic and Agency Building.”
