Construction of Central's new j
student  center  is   expected  to
start in the near future with the
'' awarding of the general contract
1 to   Miller-Davis   Company   o f
i Kalamazoo.
j    Miller-Davis was the low bidder among 15 companies vying
for the job. Their bid amounted
to Sl.419,500. Mr. N. C. Bovee,
t vice president of buriness and
finance, said, "All 15 bids were
quite close."
i     The package or general con-
' tract bid includes the construc-
; tion,   electrical   and   plumbing
projects.
Bovee pointed out that ihe
total cost of the building including equipment, site work,
underground utilities and fees
would amount to absui 2 million dollars.
"Weather conditions will influence the exact starting date
on the project," Bovee said, "but
we hope to occupy the building
by the Fall of 1900."
The new building will be a
Uvo-story structure, mostly of
brick and stone. It will have
85,000 square feet of space and
will feature a concrete dome 100
feet in diameter.
The present student Union
building, which was completed
in 1939, will be converted into
a   music   building.   However,  j
ihe kitchens will be used for   j
ihe new building wiih a connecting passage. I
Construction and maintenance j
of the student center will be fi- j
anced on a self-liquidating ba- i
sis, Bovee said. In addition tolnn     ^
this self-liquidating project the J ]| ]/    \T.
remodeling of the present Union j U [)    viji
building into music classrooms
will be done on a self-liquidating basis.
This  project  is   expected  to
cost about S325.000 and will be [
paid for by music fees and stu-;
dio rental.

Mr. Gallico says, "Probably
never has a man beer, quite so
falsified   by   legend,   pseudo-
history,   and   propagandizing
hagiographers as Si, Patrick."
In essence, Patrick was born
in Greai Briiian and was not
a native-born Irishman.
When he was a child, he was
captured by the Irish raiders and
carried off to Ireland to slavery.
He escaped after six years and
it is said he heard his calling,
and after many years of study in

In truth, the country of Ireland has no snakes because they
simply cannot live there for
some reason.
Although, in his time, St.
Patrick met much oposition, and
was misunderstood even during
his lifetime. Mythical stories
have distorted him through the
yeafs, he has come to be one of
Ireland's best loved Saints.
