Central Ready to Begin
Work ori New BuilcLiiigs
Has'anyone noticed anything different about Central's campus this
year? Many changes are already
evident on the school's grounds and
many more are in the immediate
future.
Most important irom standpoint
of size ampng constructions now in
progress is tlie new Arts and Crafts
building across from Keeler union
on Washington street. The ground
for the heW building -Which will
houses the ■•*■■ art ^departments home
economics and industrial arts, has
not" yet been officially broken although 'borings have been taken for
piers." The ceremonies of groundbreaking are expected to take place
in approximately ten days.
The- temporary housing project
on Washington street is progressing
fairly satisfactorily, according to
college officials. Construction of
apartment units has been temporarily, halted, however, as the steel
workers? iinibn-has.> <?bjec,ted to the
use IM" ca$p§n%s > in wo?k< with
steel products. Negotiations are going on between the Federal Public
Stowtog^Admte^tefttioii, -&e. Steel
Workers' Union and the contractors. It is hope4 ttiat these dwellings will be ready for occupancy by
the first of the year..
Contracts for the new 250.~bed
dormitory on Bellows street behind Ronan hall have been signed
with the Weber Construction Co.
of Bay City, the same company now
building the Arts and Crafts building. Bonds, representing the loan
on the building, are being issued
and sold. The building will house
500 students, construction will begin as soon as materials and labor
are available.
s The architect is working on a revision of the plans for,-the new
Physical Education building. Final
plans will be completed soon and
college authorities hope that, work
dan begin this fall.
': Aside from these major projects,
many smaller jobs have been completed or are in progress oh existing
campus buildings. Paths worn
smooth by <9enoral students for
many years are now being fitted in

Announcement of the opening of
the Homecoming Queen contest was
made this week by the Student
council. Action on sponsorship of
the contest and financing of all
events in which the Queen will
participate at the Homecoming was
taken by the Council last spring.
Candidates for the Homecoming
Queen will be selected by petition
only, according to the rules set up
by the Council last year. Every
regularly enrolled Central Michigan
College girl student is eligible to
become a candidate. Any individual
or campus group may put up a
candidate by securing 30 names of
bona fide Central students on a
petition.
The Student Council emphasized
that no student may sign more
than one petition. Duplication of
names will be cancelled on all petitions on, which, they appear, and
after irregular signatures have
been   cancelled   all  petitions  with
fewer than 30 legal signatures will
be thrown out.
All petitions must be turned in
to' the dean of women's office before 5 p. m. Wednesday, October 2,
and each petition must be accompanied by a photograph (not a
snapshot) of the proposed candidate.
Names of bona fide candidates
and their pictures will be printed
in LIFE Wednesday, October 9,
and the election will take place
later that week.
All students are urged to get
petitions signed and turned in at
the dean, of women's office as
quickly as possible.
The election of a Homecoming
Queen is an innovation at Central
although queens have been chosen
to preside over the May Festival
on at least three occasions. The
Queen activities committee under
the chairmanship of Jesse Thorpe,
assistant professor of library
science, is 'planning the ceremonies
attendant ujfon the presentation of
the Queen.
Thus   far   it has   been   decided
that she will ride in the parade on
a special float and will be given a
place of honor at the football game.
The crowning ceremony will take
place between halves of the game.
She will also preside at the Homecoming Ball and lead the grand
march. Other activities will be add-1
