Shorter Fine Arts Building Renovated;
Ready For New School Term in Sept.
Improvements In the Alice All
good Cooper Fine Arts Building
at Shorter College, completely
renovated this summer at a cost
of SIOO,OOO, will be the biggest
campus change to greet Shorter
students when they resume
classes In mid-September.
The building, literally home to
Shorter art, music, and speech
students, has undergone major
interior structural changes. Dis
counting stairways and landmark
Brookes Chapel, practically
every partition has been either
re-located, or modified with new
doorways or window changes.
Judicious replacement of walls
and entrances has resulted in
several immediately apparent
improvements: increased num
ber of piano-organ practice
rooms; enlargement of the Little
Theater; enlargement of the art
lecture room; creation of new
storage areas; and Installation
of a small kitchen on the second
floor.
Comfort and beauty wise, there
are more changes. Music prac
tice rooms have wall to wall

carpeting and accoustically de
signed ceilings. They are now
practically sound proof. Faculty
studios have the same features.
Everywhere, fresh, light
colored paint has transformed
corridors and classrooms.
Art students who have long
made use of every available sapce
for hanging exhibits, including the
stair walls, will find these tailor
made for the purpose. A wooden
front wall, padded with burlap,
has been mounted over the old
wall of plaster.
Gallery I has new entrances to
storage facilities, and the new
lighting fixtures which have been
placed throughout the building
contribute markedly to conven
ience in this exhibit room.
Only exterior sign of the in
tensive remodeling is the addition
of a bright orange fire-escape
stairway, which gives entrances
to the Little Theater on the sec
ond floor, and to the art depart
ment on the third.
Inside Brookes Chapel, there
are relatively few changes, since
this part of the building was ex
tensively remodeled in 1957 when
the Holtkamp Organ was installed
there. It has a new stage floor,
making permanent a temporary
enlargement of three years ago.
It has also been repainted.
Elsewhere on the campus, im
provements of less radical nature
have been in progress. New
shower stalls and dressing rooms
had been added to the swimming
pool wing of the gymnasium.
Minor repairs have been made in
the Greystone Dormitory, and
this building has also been given
new interior paint.
The renovation of the fine arts
building and the other attendant
repairs complete one phase of a
building and remodeling program
begun at Shorter five years ago,
shortly after the inauguration of
President Randall H. Minor. In
that period, all of the college’s
“old” buildings, constructed In
1911-12, have been completely
renovated and equipped with mod
ern furnishings. Two new build
ings, a library-administration
building, and a dormitory, have
been constructed.
The college also expanded Its
property with the purchase of an
adjoining seven acre tract, with
home, for the president’s resi
dence, and with the recent pur
chase of the downtown hotel pro
perty being used for male board
ing students.
Mrs. Robert O. Arnold of Cov
ington, alumnus of Shorter, is
one of the trustees serving Short
er through this period of
its growth.
GIVE’EM ROOM
Give the freezer or refriger
ator plenty of breathing room,
advises Miss Doris Oglesby, an
Extension home economist at the
University of Georgia. If the
refrigerator or freezer has coils
on the back, it is necessary to
have several inches of air space
around it. Placing the appli
ance in a tight spot may cause
it to sweat and run excessively.

receive a 10-year service award. Almost half, or 46.6 per cent of the
20,000-employee work force, are ten-year veterans of Georgia’s aero

Injured Veterans
May Reopen Their
G. I. Insurance
ATLANTA — A service-conn
ected Injury, though comparat
ively minor, creates eligibility
for a wartime veteran to re
open his GI Insurance policy,
Pete Wheeler, director, Georgia
Department of Veterans Service
said today.
An otherwise eligible veteran
does not have to be receiving
compensation for the Injury to
be eligible for reopening his GI
insurance. For instance, a war
time wound may have left a per
manent scar, which though not
disabling, and therefore not com
pensable, is sufficient to meet
the Insurance reopening criteria.

Any veteran receiving com
pensation for service-connected
Injury meets one test for insur
ance reopening eligibility.
A second requirement is that
the veteran must have been elig
ible for GI insurance between
October 7, 1940, and January
1, 1957. The full SIO,OOO cover
age can be reopened, or any
amount up to SIO,OOO. Another
category of the veteran who can
reopen his Insurance is one who
has a non-service connected dis
ability which renders him unin
surable by commercial Insurance
companies at highest rates.
Although approximately 25,000
Georgia veterans can reopen
their GI insurance, less than
2,000 have applied thus far.
