The ac 'Temporary ' Will End Ne.i Next summer will mark the end of an era at Car-olina. The "age of temporary buildings" wvill come to a close with the scheduled dlemolishing of tem porary buildings C, E and F. Buildings A, B, D and CG have been torn down in previous years andi these three and the laundry are the only remainders of the "temporary" crowded condlitions that marked the campus upon the close of World War II. The laundry building is also scheduled to be torn down. A neOw laundry will be placed in the student union building. The buildings were constructed in 1946 to help alleviate the overflow of students after the war. Dean of Administration W. H. Patterson said the buildings would be torn down next sum mer.

T uildings Age et Summer The psychology and philosophy were among the early occupants of Building C. The school of journalism was once stationed in Building C with hardly more than "a single room with a closet," a far cry from the present school of journalism in Legare which went under an extensive $75,000 renovation last summer. The offices of both the Garnet and Black and The Gamecock were at one time located in one of the temporary buildings which didn't even have the dignity of an alphabetical dlistinction, just "student publi cations building." While Building C is probably the most illustrious of the re maining temporary quarters, E and F are both still in use.
