H. Patterson, dean of administration, has announced. The work which was done by W. B. Guimarin and Co. of Columbia was dene in two parts. Last year the area south of Green Street and also Preston and Woodrow dormi tories were converted to the new syrtem. The rest of the campus was converted recently. The first boiler was put on the line in November, the second dur ing Christmas holidays, and the third during this past week. The new system burns at an interrupt able rate (can burn either gas or oil) and can change from gas to oil in about half an hoir. The new system with one central plant is more efficient than the older one according to Dr. Patter son. Before there were two main plants, a plant at Freshman Cen ter, and fifteen other individual plants scattered about the campus. The pipes in the new system, which are smaller than those of the old system, have a pressure of 100 pounds per square inch as com pared to three or four pounds per square inch formerly. The old system, Carolina's first central heating plant, was installed in 1910. Carolina Players Announce Slate Of New Officers Newton Neely was elected presi dent of the University Players for the spring semester.

The University Players meet each Thursday night at 7 o'clock in the University Playhouse. Any one interested in the theatre is in vited to join the group now. Plans are being made for the spring pro duction. Gene Crotty is the director of the Playne Library June 1. enovation of the University's urday when the architectural o Lyles, Bissett, Carlisle and Wolff of Columbia. Dr. Keyes D. Metcalf, formerly librarian, now in charge of all li braries at Harvard, is acting as a consultant on the renovation. He was at Harvard when the Lamon (open stack) undergraduate li brary was constructed. The first notice of the planned reri-ovation came last October when University President Donald S. Russell addressed the annual ban quet of the South Carolina Library Assoociation. At that time Presi dent Russell said that the Univer sity can't build the necessary in tellectual climate it wants without Making a conplete remodeling of the library to make it "airy and beautiful and the center of Univer sity life." Cost for the overall job will be about $750,000, according to Dr. W. H. Patterson, dean of adminis tra'ion. He said work should get started around June 1 and should be completed by the following sum mer. The renovated library will fea ture open stacks for the under graduate students. Dr. Patterson said that will mean that students will be able to look for the books they want without having to get a library employee to look for the book in the closed stacks as the set-up is now. When work is begun the three wings projecting from the main part of the library will have the space in between filled in. This ad ditional space will help take care of the expected volume increase of between 85 and 100 thousand. All partitions on the first two floors will be torn down and the check out position will be located in a central position, probably on the first floor, Dr. Patterson said.
