University of South Carolina Libraries
Sorority Campus Gei A Then Andi At The Sum By PAUL FOSTER At the time the "before" pic ture was taken last November, parts of Carolina were in poor physical condition. Warped floor ing, battered furniture; peeling paint and inadequate equipment abounded. Tradition couldn't stop the fall of plaster in ancient, over crowded, and leaky buildings. Something, said The Gamecock and many others, should be done about it. Moving the campus to a new location would have been one solution, but this was' decided against. Limited funds not with standing, university authorities be gan plans for a replace-repair paint-up and clean-up campaign. With Spring came the beginning of much-needed work on LeConte College. The old-fashioned, creaky double stairway was replaced by one of steel, and several of the class rooms were renovated. Pres ton dormitory and other buildings received some necessary attention as to fallen plaster and warped floors. Work began in earnest at the close of the Spring semester. The university maintenance force, head ed by W. J. Stradley, Supt. of Buildings and grounds, first re surfaced the roofs of the Carolina Library, and tenements 1, 2, 3, 18, 19, and 20 to stop leaks and conse quent fall of plaster. W a d e Hampton dormitory, known for lukewarm radiators and still cooler "hot water" got a com pletely new oil heating and hot water system. In addition, the single overhead electric outlet in each room was supplemented by installation of baseboard outlets. Sims dormitory, relatively new, was not ignored, for all exterior door and windows, and all rest rooms were painted. All dormitory rooms and rest rooms in Maxcy College were re painted.

In tenements 20 through 29, the toilets only were painted. One hundred and fifty' new study desks were placed in rooms throughout the men's dormi tories. Replacement of the 21-year-old telephones in the tenements was begun during thd Summer. To returning students, McKis sick Library looked strangely clean and new inside. No small job was the repainting of the entire in terior of the Library. The inner walls of the Armory were also repainted. Hamilton College's step treads; deeply worn by countless Navy issue as well as civilian shoes, were replaced by new treads. Also in Hamilton, room 302 was par titioned to provide the new Air ROTC with offices. The university infirmary re ceived two new ventilating fans; Stewards Hall roof was repainted; third floor east of Lieber College was renovated for the Music dept.; floors in several Harper College classrooms and those in the Ath letic offices were refinished, as well as many other painting and refinishing jobs about the campus. la The good old Summertime af brought the rains to the campus so much rain that the university stores and post office were flooded. C To prevent a repeat performance, two additional drainage outlets G were installed by the maintenance force near Maxcy's South steps. L Repairing and renovating on the campus is continuing, according to J. A. Chase, Dean of Administra- ele tion. At the present time, 50 new . wardrobes for men's rooms are an being built, the Armory floor is being refinished, along with the an small but important everyday vl tasks done by the maintenance lef crew, well deserving a hearty "Well done-thanks" from The Gamecock. ga NE The old Carolina College bell Ve was last used to call students to ati classes on February 8, 1941, when Co the electric bell system was com pleted. tri an Fr Pent-House Club Formerly or PIG TRAIL INN fic Excellent Food pr< All Kind. of Beverage.
