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.

eration in the Senate.
Tile loai will be repaid from the student medical fee which

ments and enlargements are necessary to safeguard the health
