Expansion talks begin nex:t week Meetings will begin next week to discuss what is most needed in Russell House expansion, Dr. Harold Brunton, vice president of business affairs, said. The meetings will be open to students. Tentative plans are to expand the Russell House eastwat'd to occupy the old infirmary area when the new health center is completed in August or Sep tember. Brunton said the University plans to spend from one half to one million dollars on the expansion. One major item to be considered In t he expansion is a meeting room large enough for about 800 persons. "The biggest lack of the University is a place for speakers," Brunton said.
