VOLUME XXV
WORK BEGUN ON
CHANGES IN THE
HEATING SYSTEM
New Pipe Lines to Be Laid
And New Boiler Installed
In Powerhouse.
PROVIDES HEAT FOR GYM
Cox and Arohdale to lte Put on New
System With Laying
Of Pipes.
Work was begun (luring the past
week 011 an addition to the present
heating system which will transfer the
heating of the entire campus to the
central heating plant in the power
house. At present the heating 011 the
campus is not evenly distributed. Some
of the buildings are not heated so well
as others and this trouble is traceable
to the use of different heating systems
being used on different sections of the
campus. This new pipeline and boiler
addition will make it possible for the
entire campus to be heated by a cen
tral heating unit.
The work involves the installation of
a second 150 horsepower tubular boiler J
and around 050 feet of steam and hot |
water pipes. The installation of tlici
new heating pipes will make it possible
for Arclulale and Cox to be healed
from the central powerhouse and will
also provide heat for the new gymna
sium, when it is constructed.
With the addition of the new boiler
which is capable of a 22,5(10 heat radia
tion, the central heating plant will be
equipped to handle the total campus
heating with tlie exception of the Mu
sic buildings. It will also heat any
additional buildings which may be built!
on the campus.

WHIPS FALL PLAY
INTO GOOD SHAPE
Brilliant Cast Performs Admir

Rehearsals.

Mr. Marshall Lauds Cast on Its
Marked and Progressive
Improvement.
"The Admirable Crichton," Sir James
M. Barrie's superb comedy, which will
be given in Memorial Hall auditorium
Saturday night, November 19 at 8:15
o'clock by the Dramatic Council, is
whipping into fine shape according to
Director R. K. Marshall, who ex
pressed pleasure at the development
his cast has shown.
In an interview shortly before the
GI ILFORDIAX went to press, Mr.
Marshall said that his leads, Tom
Taylor and Betty Locke, has shown
remarkable improvement and are now
handling their scenes with n perfec
tion usually attained only by dress re
hearsal night. Taylor and Locke make
a good pair, he as the dignified model
butler, Crichton. and she as the beauti
ful. spoiled, headstrong. Lady Mary.
Both have very pleasing voices and
are easily audible—excellent perform
ances are expected from them.
George Wilson, as the dapper, lie
monocled Ernest, continues his line of
well-portrayed comedy characters. Ac
cording to a backstage conversation
with him, ibis will be the first straight
role he has ever played—all of his
previous roles having been character
studies.
Steve Cope, however, is regarded by
the director and cast as the dramatic
find of the year. This will be Steve's
first appearance on any stage since an
early high school experience. He has
shown himself, by his clever pnntomine
and exact characterization, to be a
superb actor. He holds all of his
scenes with a comic surety which will
delight the audience as it did the hand
