Auditorium-Gymnasium The friends of the College, as well as the students and faculty, will rejoice to know that the executive committee at their monthly meeting on May 10th, voted to give the contract for the gymnasium-auditorium to the Goehring and Sothman Co. This company has assured us that they will begin construction at once, and one of the big events of the commencement season will be the laying of the corner stone of this building. We hope that the construction of this building will be far enough advanced that we may plan to dedicate it dur- ing the Young People's Assembly which will be held here August 9-17. This is all most encouraging to the student body. Since May 1923, when the gymnasium was destroyed, the students have been handicapped for lack of room, both for auditorium purposes and for their gymnastic work. We expect a great revival in such affairs during 1926-27 as well as in athletic events, now that the students are assured of a place in which to hold these events. The fact that the gymnasium will be completed by next fall, will lead the college authorities to employ a full-time coach, who will also teach some subject in the college departments. Previously, the college employed one man to coach football and another for basket ball, while for coaches for track or tennis the athletes have been dependent upon members of the faculty. The inside dimensions of the main floor are 50 ft. by 86 ft. The plat- form is 15x45 ft.g toward the rear will be a cement tier of seats. Under these are the lockers and shower rooms, one for the boys and one for the girls. These rooms will be 19x38 ft. The building will be finished above so that the acoustic properties will be satisfactory. From the floor up about 10 feet, the room will be finished in soft gray glazed brick. The building is 88 feet in depth and the front 120 feet. Two rooms will open into the main auditorium. One will serve as a kitchen, so that all of our special dinners and banquets may be served in this building. The other will be a room for the director of physical educa- tion. In this room will be kept the trophies won by Grand Island College. A number of these trophies have been lost owing to the fact that we have not had a place in which to keep them.
