T H - Ine -Duilding L oniniittee The Building Committee of The University of Texas has played an unusually prominent part in the affairs of the college for the past few years. Although its organization is quite recent, in fact within the last decade, the group has a number of accomplishments already in evidence: the Biology Building, Garrison Hall, Little- field Dormitory, Gregory Gymnasium, the Mechanical Engineer- ing Laboratories, the Power Building, the Women ' s Gymnasium, the Chemistry Building, and Waggener Hall. But in spite of the foregoing array, the Building Committee has its greatest work in the nine-unit program now in progress. To determine the order of construction of buildings, their lo- cations, and, with the assistance of the University architects to draw up the plans are the most important functions of the Building Committee. When buildings for certain departments or schools are to be erected, some one of the department staff is appointed a temporary member of the committee. But the group is also con- cerned with the minute details of the buildings: it must decide upon interior finishes, the location of drinking fountains, the color of tiling. In short, everything about a building under construction is subject to their jurisdiction, although the Board of Regents has the final choice in the matter of approval or disapproval. W. J. Battle Chairman, Building Committee % The membership of the building committee is W. J. Battle, chairman; Miss Mary Gearing, D. B. Casteel, J. W. Cal- houn, ex-officio, and R. L. White, consulting architect. The meetings are subject to call by the chairman, since the old plan of regular weekly meetings has been abandoned. The recommendations of the committee are transmitted to the President and the Board of Regents by the Comptroller. 4i 1 Casteel Gearing Calhoun White Fage 14
