Duddy, Jr making the comment that many college students do not know about some of their college activities and their various programs now in progress. He also stated that the value of the degree the graduates receive from their college will rest on the prestige of their college. Westminster is now in the process of developing, to a greater extent, the All prestige of the college by promoting an expansive development program. Construction of the new Womens Residence Hall represents the first phase of this development program. This is a report of the progress on this building. The Womens Residence Hall was started last July 15, and is expected to be completed around June 15 this year. The present overcrowded condition in Ferry Hall was the main factor determining the selection of this building as the first include a three-stor- y residence will include a three-stor- y residence hall, accommodating 125 women, a modern dining and lounge facility for all resident students, and a house mothers apartment between the residence hall and the dining hall. The dining hall will have a base- ment The residence hall, which bears the tentative name of Hogle Hall, will have 28 rooms to the floor, totaling 84 rooms, all to be completely furnished, by the expenditure of a $50,000 fund that has been set aside for that purpose. The original expected date of completion was around May 1, but Que to the delayed delivery of steel beams, this date has been set at approximately a month later. The five, I shaped steel supports, weighing 110 pounds per foot, were ordered through Bethlehem 85-fo- ot Steel Corporation in Balitmore by Steel Engineers, Inc., of Salt , a for the Jacobsen Construction Co., general contractor for the project The delivery date for the beams was delayed because of the steel strike. ha-he- sub-contract- or Once the steel was on its way more trouble was encountered. The beams wer lost or held up in Chicago, and from there, they were sent to Denver where the railroad cars apparently broke down, causing an additional delay in their arrival at Westminster. Finally, on February 21, the beams arrived here. What all of this means is that now the external construction will finally be speeded up, which will make possible a swifter completion of the project in its entirety. Internal construction, according to Bob Loder, general superintendent of the project, consists of such jobs as plastering, putting the windows and frames in position, electrical work, wood work, and heating system connections. The plastering and window work is expected to begin the first week in March. The heating of the building will be done with steam heat from the campus steam plant Mr. Loder emphasized that this building should as far economical prove to be very alHe concerned. is maintenance as so said that thanks to a mild winter only three working days have been lost He pointed out that the cost of pouring cement and laying bricks almost doubles during cold, damp weather because of the cost of setting up a heated house or enclosure around the freshly poured cement A constant temperature of 70 degrees is necessary to make the cement dry quickly and sufficiently to prevent the water in the cement from freezing.. The project is being financed by a $500,000 loan from the Federal Housing and Home Finance Agency, for a 30 year period with 3 per cent interest rate. All agree that this new building will add much to the prestige of Westminster and the entire Westminster community is looking forward to the start of the second phase of the development program.
