'Dead Week' Ends on
By SARAH SALTER
Brand Staff Writer
Rumor has it that this is Dead
Week . . . the time all social
graces are held in suspended
animation and packed in moth
balls for the duration.
It is a week of note-book
writing cramming and staying
in ... . the staying in is of
course the most grueling of all.
After a few hours of this
you feel as though you would
like to run a tin cup up and
down the bars and shout for
the warden to let you out of
this solitary confinement be-
fore you go stir crazy. Some
300 other dormitory residents
want the same thing ... it
isn't easy living alone.
After the few moments of
freedom you know during the
daylight hours you rush into
your room grab up a book and
begin to memorize frantically.
You commit to memory the

VOL. XLVI
the largest in Abilene with-"a
seating capacity of approximately
2000 persons and a stage that
measures 34 feet in depth 90 feet
wide and about 60 feet from the
floor to ceiling.
Fred Olds Jr. partner in the
F. C. Olds Co. which designed the
structure said the Hardin-Sim-mons
stage is larger than most
stages because it will serve both
the auditorium and the theater-
lecture hall.
The building will be the first
structure on the H-SU campus to
be constructed with complete air
conditioning facilities.
Olds said masonry work is
presently within two or three
weeks from completion. Roofing
also is almost ready. Inside the
spacious auditorium structural
steel framework comprising the
balcony had been completed and
workmen are pouring concrete for
the elevated flooring. Concrete

You are brought out of your

Chapter 12 isn't even required.

The architect said a consider-
able amount of grading planting
terracing and pouring of side-
walks needs to be done. He esti-
mated the entire building will be
ready within two or three months.

Dr. Reiff said the speech de-
partment will hold its first classes
in the new structure this summer.
Formal dedication services will
be held in the opening convoca-
tion o fthe Fall term. Dr. Reiff
said the University probably will
hold a series of special programs
during that week under the di-
rection of Dr. William O. Beazley
director of institutional services.
While gifts are still being re-
ceived for the chapel-auditorium
however the building fund is
some $450000 shprt of its goal
Dr. Reiff said.
The 1960 graduating class do-
nated money for a clock for the
auditorium while another class
has specified stage furniture.
The president said the Univer-
sity will place memorial plaques
at the end of a row of seat in
the new building when donors
contribute money to purchase
enough seats for a row. The rows
vary from six seats in the bal-
cony to 16 seats downstairs.
Cost per seat is $25 Dr. Reiff
said explaining that the chairs
are the opera type with plush up-
holstering. Byron Bryant director of pub-
lic relations is handling the spe-
cial gifts.

(Actually it is a group of

is on a par to jamming the
"Voice of America.")
You stay up until 3 a. m. each
morning and drag to class to
drouse feeling in your naive
little heart that your teacher
surely wouldn't be so mean as
to try to inflict new data upon
you at this late stage of the
game.
If you have had some tests
under this teacher earlier this
year (which statistics show is a
possibility) you can just about
figure what the test will be
composed of.
You decide: "It could be 50
per cent true-false and 50 per
cent objective . . . that's the
usual formula." So you study
