- «r7JH}?f ' ■y - An archili ' it s i r)nrf iiiiim nl iiow ilie iifw woinin ' s building will appear to fulure students of Syracuse . . . Buill of reil hrirk and located (in llie western slojie of the campus, it will fulfill a vital roed need. Pnx o eJL Wo4fte4i, ' 6, liiA ldUuf STILL A DREAM, hut fast becoming a reality, is the new women ' s building. Situated on the crest of the western slope of the campus soutli of Grouse College, it will face east. In the Georgian colonial architecture of the Old South, the conserva- tive exterior broken only by the large stately windows covers a nortli and a south wing. The swimming pool in the basement of the south wing has facilities for lockers, showers, and dress- ing rooms, with a special room for faculty members, and one for visitors. Also on the same level are a tap-dancing room, a work shop, golf cages, and store rooms for winter equipment. In the workshop a carpenter ' s bench permits coeds to make their own skis, canoe paddles, and archery materials. Four bowling alleys atid Iwo badminton courts will be added if funds are available. Overhead on the first floor the main gymnasium is marked out into two statidard basket!)all and six badminton courts. Opening to the north is a large, comfortable reception lounge for students, parents, visitors, and faculty. To the south is a gallery to the swimming pool and (|iiattcrs for commuting students. In this, the one place on catnpus for coinimiters, there will be a loung ' with southcrti and western exposure over Archbold stadium and the city. Adjoining it is a kitchen and a dining looni for pre|)aring and eating lunches, and a special locker and dressing room. Gity and commiititig sttidcnts for the first time may remain on campus without going home to change for evening social functions. Upstairs on the second floor a corrective gymna- sium, a posture clinic, and a medical unit fulfill another vital need at Syracuse. An office for the woman physician, an examination room, a room for infra-red aiul idtra-violet ray treatments will be added features. Another room under the super- vision of a stntleni nurse will be at the disposal of any stiidciU. Two recitation rooms and the technical lilirary are welcomed by physical education majors who have been studying under many great handicaps. Over the central pintion of the jiroposed build- ing, there is a third floor devoted to basketball and badminton courts. Outside on tlic roofs of tlie north and south wings are a sun tleck and deck tetinis ctnirts. The picture of the new building is tpiile a con- trast to the one wc now have. This on.- is the same building that we had in 18 )1. with the same tem- pciaiiicntal windows and the same stpieaky floors. Since physical education today is lU) longer just an outlet for the masculine girl, but is an essential part of each girl ' s mental, emotional, and physical development, a new building is of the utmost im- portance. Many colleges have new ones Imiit by cotilribiitions from their alunniae. iacidly, trustees and friends. Syracuse is trvitifr to do the sa me. 18
