New Campus
Cf course everyone is conscious
of the progres being made in the
two new dormitories on the Agri-cultural
Campus. They are the
first of several buildings which
are to be constructed in the next
three years under the Industrial-
Technical Program.
The "L" shaped dormitories will
flank each side of existing Dorm-itory
Four on the southern end of
the dormitory quadrangle and will
accomodate 110 men each.
The two story brick buildings
will consist of fifty 9x12' rooms,
shower rooms and lounges.
Plans for rooms include double
deck beds which will allow stu-dents
more rocm for closets, dres-sers
and desks.
The buildings are now nearly
completed up to the second floor,
are expected to be completed by
June, 1950.
It is hoped that students in the
Industrial-Technical Campus will
share the rooms of the new dorm-itores
when the fall sesmester
opens in an effort to bring the
two Campuses closer together.
Among other buildings to be
erected on the proposed Industrial-
Technical Campus will be a
$3,500,0C0 Shop and Laboratory
Building, an Administration-Class-room-
Library Building, a Gym-nasium-
Auditorium Building and a
Heating Plant.
Work on the new Campus is
expected to begin this fall.
Spot Training
Our senior dental hygiene stu-dents
are really going to town on
cleaning teeth. They have a pro-gram
set up in Grumman Aircraft
plant, the Hicksville schools, the
Holtsville sanitorium and will
soon start in at Meadowbrook
Hospital. Experience is the best
teacher and that's what they're
getting.
I bet you didn't know there is
almost as many night school stu-dents
as in the day time. In the
current evening course program,
instructions are being given in 51
subjects.
ASSEMBLY
The January 18th assembly pro-gram
began in the usual way and
rapidly improved with the intro-duction
of Mr. Willenbrock. Our
Guidance Director casually men-tioned
that the.e was a wide
spread but erronious rumor cir-culating
that guidance people were
inclined to be long winded. In
thirty minutes time Mr. Willen-brock
attempted to disprove this.
He did, however, present the re-sults
of a very interesting survey
that has just been completed re-garding
the placement of the past
two year's graduates from the
Tech Division. This survey went
into type of employment, location
and wages which brought forth a
real spark of interest from several
hundred broke Seniors. The pre-sentation
was made graphic by
the use of a new machine called
the Vu-graph. A group of Seniors
then attempted, by way of two
short skits, to portray interview
technique. This was done bv using
a good and bad example. Bob
Christman stole the show as the
ultimate in poor examples and
John Cowie was his counterpart.
Larry Crinklow was the distin-guished
employer with John How-ard
as his unspoken mind. Barbara
Cropsey played the part of the
secretary and Mickey Jones was
her unspoken mind. The skit
was under the able direction of
Mr. Wallace and Mr. Hallahan.
The Assembly was then thrown
open to questions but since the
skits had been so well done there
did not seem to be any except
from members of the cast
