More than 1,200 copies of the
UNC Record, completely revised

Old Pharmacy Building
Is Completely Renovated
By RON SHUMATE
Bynum Hall was deserted this week, except for the
News Bureau and the UNC Press. The School of Jour
nalism, after many years in the cramped confines of By
num, moved into its spacious and brightly-lighted new
home Howell Hall.
The move was like reaching the "promised land" for

Chem Hall
By GINA HARDISON
When the School of Journal
ism, moves into Howell Hall, it
will become the third occuDant
of the 54 year-old building.
The recently-remodeled class
room building originally housed
the chemistry department, but
since 1925 had contained the
. School of Pharmacy.
The structure was built, ac
cording to a 1911 University
catalogue, because the facilities
of the chemistry department,
then located in Person Hall,
were far overcrowded with 367
students crowded into space for
a hundred and because of "un
satisfactory ventilation in the
laboratories."
Money for the building came
when UNC President F. P. Ven
able presented plans for "a new
chemistry laboratory" and ap
pealed for funds from the State
Legislature in 1905. The grant
amounted to $50,000, although
only $45,000 was used for the
new building. This legislative
appropriation was the first in
the University's history to pro
vide for a campus building.
The structure .was completed
in March of 1906, although the
cornerstone bears the date 1904.
Constructed of "salt-and-pep-per
brick with black mortar,'
the original building measured
120'x68'x48 according to the
1911 catalogue, and contained a
first and a second floor, as well
as a "commodious basement."
Archibald Henderson, in his
history of the campus, called
the structure "architectuarlly in
harmonious with other college
buildings."
Tke site of the building, which
faces west and is located be
tween New East and the More
head Planetarium, assured "good
water pressure for the labora
tories," stated the 1911 cata
logue. Oaiginally known as "Chemis
try Hall," the building con
tained faculty offices, 10 labora
tories of varying sizes, balance
rooms, dark rooms, a mineral
museum, a carpenter shop, and
a stock room, which was equip

Pharmacy left Howell, the Jour
nalism School went to work im
mediately. Work was begun last
year, and the building is all but
completed now.
However, the official dedica
tion ceremonies will not be held
until October 21.
Dean Luxon came to UNC in
December, 1953, and was prom
ised at that time that whenever
the University got a new Phar
macy building, that Journalism
could have Howell Hall.
The Pharmacy School got its
new building, and now Jour
nalism haa officially taken over
Howell.
The renovation job was part
of a Pharmacy - Journalism
Package Deal, with $1,250,000
going for the new Pharmacy
building. The two schools to
gether got $220,000 for remodel
ing and equipment.
The Journalism School re
ceived $162,000 for remodeling,
and used some $60,000 for equip
ment, which includes typewrit
ers, photographic equipment and
furniture.
"I've seen nearly all of the
new journalism school buildings
in the country," said Dean N. N.
Luxon. "The one at the Univer
sity of Oregon cost $600,000; the
one at Texas cost about $780,
000. But none of them compare
to ours as far as equipment and
facilities goes."
Howell has two news-writing
laboratories with 20 typewriters
in each of them. An advertising
lab also has 20 typewriters and
appropriate desk space for stu
dents. Two other classrooms seat 20
and 60 students respectively.
There are also two reading
rooms, one for 50 daily papers
which seats about 30, and one
for 100 weekly papers, which
seats about 20.
On the second floor is a stu
dent lounge, where students may
go between classes. Press Club
meetings will also be held in
this lounge, which contains sofas
and lounge chairs.
In the basement are storage
rooms, four film processing
rooms and a large photo printing
room.
Large non-journalism classes
will meet in the auditorium,
which seats 225. Among the
classes that will be taught in
the auditorium will be Dr. J.
P. Harland's archeology course,
and one world civilization class.
Also in the basement is a
news editing lab, which, contains
a copy-editing table with 12
