FRID)AY, MARCH 21, 1941 Fudd10 Library Opening Date Not Yet Set Because Of Furniture Contract . "Because of delay in receiving furniture and equipment, no definite time can yet be set for the.opening of the new library," Pres. J. Rion McKissick announced this week. "Completeion and opening of the library are dependent up on delivery of the furniture and equipment. The two con tractors who have the contracts to provide them say that they have been unable to complete their work on time, because of national defense orders in their factories," President McKis sick said. No Assurance on Furniture If the furniture and equipment were here now, the project could be completed by April 15 or sooner, but the University has no assurance as to when they will be delivered, the presi dent added. In many respects the building is complete and in others it is 98 per cent complete. The interior finish will be completed during the next four weeks. This does not inclue the movable furniture which is to be built into the millwork: In addition to the built-in equipment, furniture and other equipment will be placed throughout the building. Cost About $550,000 The building and equipment will cost alpproximnately $550 000. Construction is being done with State and WPA funds ahd WPA labor. The building process has been going on for about two years. WPA funds, were supplemented with an ap )4opriation from the General Assembly of South Carolina. " .Sidewalks and pavements leading to the buildings are being constructed by the State Highway Department. Landscaping around the new structure is in progress and shrubbery is being set out. An impressive dedication ceremony is planned, President McKissick said. Two or three prominent men will speak. Players' First Production Of Season Is "Fine Job" Says Gamecock Reviewer.
