Bids on the seven contracts for what will be the largest rigid frame structure in North Caro lina will be opened here on Janu ary 8. The structure will be the auditorium addition' to Woollen Gymnasium, for which the Gen eral Assembly has appropriated $1,200,000.

Architect Don ald Stewart of Chapel Hill, who designed the auditorium, said the addition to Woollen would be ready for use early in 1965, de pending on delivery of steel or ders. The tremendous engineering problem of roofing a span about 300 by 200 feet has been solved by what is known in engineering circles as a compression ring above and a tension ring below. The steel feet in diameter, will support steel and concrete arms, the longest of which will be about 160 feet. The arms will be con nected to steel and concrete up rights around the outer edge of the auditorium. The lower ends of the uprights will be connected by 2‘4-inch cables to a steel ring 16 feet in diameter under the auditorium,floor. Thus, the up rights’ pull on the tension ring equals the arm’s push on the Johnston Elected SACS Officer Dr. Joseph M.

If bleachers are erected on the west side of the auditorium, its total seating ca pacity will be near 10,000.
