Dur Fire Chief Buildings Needs of the university and the poor condition of the campus buildings were pointed up this week in a report of the findings of the city fire department in in spection of the campus. The last survey was made in 1946 by Co lumbia's Chief A. McC. Marsh and, according to the chief, conditions were not "hasardous but could cause very serious trouble."

's Finding Need Ren ficials requested the survey, Marsh said. City fire authorities covered each building on the campus and found few hazards in the newer buildings. However, the older buildings displayed many instancis where standard requirements were not met. Since 1948, the university ad ministration has attempted to re move some of the hazards, includ ing defective wiring, new stair ways for LeConte and stricter en forcement of regulations for jani tors and dormitory residnt. IV1ond * * * hek Proi Next Semester Studies To Be Planned Early The Registrar's office has an nounced a "Plan-Your-Curriculum Week" for December 1 through 7 in order to speed up registration for the spring semester. Each student received a bulletin in his postoffice box which ad monished him to avoid being among the last to register next semester. The bulletin also contained infor mation about how to fill out cur riculum planning forms which will provide a place for the Registrar to schedule them for registration. Students who fail to completc these requirements during this curriculum-planning week will be given the latest schedule tickets for registration next seplester. The bulletin contains 14 blocks of directions, each block pertaining to a particular group of students. Arts and Science students who are unavoidably prevented from carrving out the assigned schedule are directed in the bulletin to re port at the earliest convenient hour on Saturday morning, December 4, 'o ~ilonday mornling or after noon, December 6, to Dean Nor wood's office in Maxey College.

Worst condition on the campus is that of the fire escapes, accord ing to Chief Marsh's finding.. He stated that many of them through out the campus were very unsafe, hard to locate and did not have an exit light burning at all times.

"The purpose of this move is to provide living quarters on the campus for those who need them most," Smith said. "As the situa tion now stands, most men's dor mitories are occupied by upper classmen. The administration feels that boys coming right out of high school and living away from home for the first time should not have to live in town." Smith said he wished to empha size that this will be a gradual process. "No one now living in Maxcy College will suddenly be told that he has to find quarters elsewhere," he said. Reginning next semester only freshmen will be allowed to move into Maxcy for the first time. And they will be assigned rooms there with the unoerstanding that at the end of their freshman year they will have to move. l)uring and after the war. Maxcy was used to house women students but was reconverted for men for the 1948 spring semester. Built in 1937, Maxey is one of the' newest buildings on the cam pus. It was originally intended to be a Student Union building. The first floor houses part of the uni versity administration. ze Univen~ 'o Prevent scored. The fire department re ported that many of these had closets beneath them which should be closed off and that the stairs presented a serious situation dur ing rush hours. Recommendations further call for installation of a city fire alarm box at the marshal's office, entrance doors in the older tene ments opening to the outside, addi tional fire escapes for the Chapel and correction of the doors, asbes tos curtains for Drayton Hall and adherence to other theater fir. rules, and a new star.way for 1Field ** * Begin it Of Project Be Sought BI sal to move the site of the Monday at 5 p. m. in the the student body, called Mor 4uesting the' move asked that this project are urged to at mittee, said yesterday.

Chief Marsh also stated that the city had tried to halt- construction of Wade Hampton before it was completed in 1923.
