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. I
In the men's dormitories, the
hallways, steps, doors and toilets

were repainted in tenements 1
through 19. 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
