At left is the new Administration Build- ing, pictured from the southwest. Housed in this building are President Allen ' s office, and offices of many of the Uni- versity Administrators. The interior of this building Is familiar to most students, who spend several hours each quarter reg- istering for their classes. A dream of a quarter of a century of University Students came true with the opening of the Memorial Union Building. Already completed are the central and north wings, with cafeteria, lounge, ac- tivities center, committee rooms, offlcss. etc. And the south wing which will house such things as bowling alleys, an audi- torium, etc., Is already underway, and Is scheduled to be completed early in 1952. Another of the buildings of contemporary design on the campus Is the Electrical Engineering Building, which has been In use for a couple of years now. Its glassed- in stairways are a feature familiar to most students, but its airy, well-lighted classrooms and offices are features par- ticularly welcome to the students who have classes here. Washington crews have long been fa- mous, but It was less than two years ago that they obtained quarters worthy of their fame. The Conibear Shellhouse, pic- tured at left. Is one of the most modern and best equipped to be found anywhere. Besides the shell storage area and the loclter rooms, there is a large social room and spacious shops for construction of the shells and oars used by most of the major rowing schools.
