For Science Structures
By Earl Braswell
Barrow Hall is being remodeled
as a continuation of a program of
lire safety and rehabilitation of
campus buildings resulting from
tin- tragic \\ inecoff fire ten years
ago.
In other building news, plans for
two of the projected Science Center
buildings have arrived. Bids will
he called for in about 10 days or two
weeks.
The $90,000 Ag Hill remodeling
job will include construction of at
least two fireproof exits, a new stair
way, and complete replacement of
unsafe electrical wiring.
Georgia's state legislature passed
a law in 194 7 requiring all state-
owned buildings be fireproofed. The
law was passed following the disas
trous Winecoff Hotel fire in At
lanta Dec. 7, 1946, which took the
. lives of 119 people.
Peabody Hall, Academic Building,
Soule Hall and Old College have al
ready been fireproofed. Work has
been done on all campus buildings
correcting the more dangerous ele
ments. Remodeling is being done as
the money is made available.
Located on Ag Hill across from
Conner Hall, the building houses
the agricultural engineering depart
ment. The building will be used all
through the remodeling process.
Besides the actual safety factor,
B. C. Kinney, head of plant opera
tions, said that he plans to "make
it a little more habitable, too.” He
was referring to better sanitary fa
cilities as well as plastering and
other internal improvements.
Plans for the animal sciences and
chemistry buildings of the Science
Center arrived in Dr. Joe Williams'
office Wednesday.

'Danger Not Over,’ Robbins Cautions;
Extra Iniirniary Personnel Remain
The near-epidemic of virus that has raced across the University
campus in the past few weeks lias slackened, the Director of the In
firmary said Wednesday.

Greet Doctors with Smiles. Suspicion, Flu
Dr. J. H. Robbins cautioned, how
ever. that the seise of illnesses was
"definitely not over."
Dr. Robbins said that there were
still 52 cases of flu in the infirm
ary at 5 p.m. Wednesday. Ten cases
were discharged from the Infirmary
during the day.
The spread of the illness reached
its peak last week when the Infirm-
Paint Marks Mar Front
Of $95,000 Structure
Unidentified vandals splashed the inscription “AEl’i” in bright
yellow letters on the brand-new Tan Epsilon Phi fraternity house
early Saturday morning.
The paint was splashed on the
front wall of the house, a $95,000
structure recently occupied by the
fraternity.
The markings were discovered
at about 2:30 a.m. Saturday by mem
bers of Tau Eps. and an immediate
Theft Hash Disappears;
Kinney Offers Theory
No more thefts on campus
have been reported since the
sudden rash three weeks ago,
B. C. Kinney, head of plant
operations, said Wednesday.
He said that this confirmed,
as well as could be, his previous
suspicions that the thieves were
passers-through. The stolen
goods must have been taken by
"thieves passing through, who
made a haul and got out of
town,” he stated.

ary was forced to hire extra person
nel, open two unfinished wings, and
use double-decker bunks to handle
the influx of sick students. Through
the use of the double decker bunks,
the capacity of the Infirmary was
increased from 43 to 114.
An emergency plan calling for the
transfer of ill students to dormitories
on Ag Hill hns not yet been needed,
and Dr. Robbins expressed doubt
that such a measure would be neces
sary. However, the extra personnel
hired by the Infirmary are still on
duty caring for the remaining pa
tients.
Dr. Robbins said that most of the
new patients were si indents who con
tracted the ailment sometime Inst
week, and .had gone home over the
weekend instead of coming in for
treatment. He added, "Some of these
kids are pretty sick."
He speculated that enses of the
virus would continue to come Into
the Infirmary for about a week.
Dr. Robbins blamed rain and cold
weather for the sudden rash of flu
that struck almost 300 students.
