EMODELING IS NOT as easy as it sounds. President
i W. Foust finds the going a little rough during the
Ping of his and Dr. Wilbur Moore's offices. The con-
on, which will be completed by the beginning of the
mester, is causing a bit of confusion on the first floor
miner Hall due to an overabundance of noise and
With moving of equipment
and offices scheduled to start
shortly, Central Michigan
University's new multi-million dollar Science Building
will be ready for use by
September 1, according to
Norvall C. Bovee, vice president of Business and Finance.
The building, Central's first
new classroom structure since
Eowe Hall was completed,
will house the departments of
biology, chemistry, geography,
geology and physics. All five
departments, together with the
instructor's offices, have been
stationed in Grawn Hall for
quite some time.

Is Subject
01 Discussion
Alfred A. Baumeister, assist-
ant professor of psychology,
will present a talk on mental
retardation at 3 p.m. Tuesday
in the Maroon and Gold rooms
of the University Center.
Baumeister, who is starting
his second year on the CMU
faculty, is also the Director of
Research at the Mount Pleasant Home and Training
School.
Before coming to Central,
he was at Peabody College in
Nashville, Tenn. He has been
working in the field of mental
retardation for the past five
years.

semester of the coming school
year Bovee said. Classes and
offices from several different
departments will use the
rooms in their present condition.
Bovee said that Central
plans to re-model Grawn Hall
and turn it over to the School
o f   Business   Administration.
Plans   call   for   the   bids
for the re-modeling job to be
out by this coming January.
The   actual   re-modeling   is
scheduled to begin during the
spring semester of the coming
school year.   It is hoped   by
Central   officials   that the
building will be partially remodeled by the fall of 1965,
and   completely   re-done   by
February of 1966.
Long range plans call for
the present Business Administration building to become the
home of the Speech and
Drama departments. T h at
building is also supposed to
be re-modeled before the
change is made.
In the not-too-distant future,
Central's library is supposed
to be expanded, and a new
series of dormitories are
scheduled for construction
during the next five years.
Central's original science de
partment, named in honor of
Charles T. Grawn, who was
president of Central from
1900 until 1918, was built in
1915. At this time, the school's enrollment was between
425 and 450 students.
The Business Administration
building, which was originally
called the College Elementary
building, was built on the site
of the old Training School,
which was destroyed by fire
in 1934.

Village ordinances of 1879
covered virtually every contingency. It was, for instance,
"unlawful for any cattle to
run at large in the streets ...
from the First day of April of
the succeeding year, and...
no Horses, Swine, or beasts
shall run at large in said
streets, at any time."
It wasn't only live animals
that concerned the city: fathers
of that day. Another city
ordinance made in unlawful
for "any person to place or
leave on his own, or on the
premises of another, or in any
street, lane or alley ... any
putrefying carcass, carrion,
animal or vegetable offal, or
any other decaying or filthy
matter, substance, or thing
whatever."
The by-laws of the Fire Department of 1880 were concerned  almost as much  with
the conduct of firemen as they
were with controlling fires.
The by-laws barred such firemen's pranks as "willful col-
