ASU Gives
Plant Job
To Company
Gilbert and Dolan, general
contractors, Phoenix, have been
awarded a $920,450 contract for
the construction of a central
refrigeration and ‘heating plant
on the Arizona State Univer­
sity campus, it was announced
by Gilbert Cady, ASU vice
president of business affairs.
The contract is subject to the
approval of the board of regents
of the universities and state
college which is scheduled to
meet Aug. 1 in Flagstaff. The
Gilbert and Dolan bid was the
lowest of nine submitted by
local contractors, Cady said.
The refrigeration and heat­
ing system, including tunnels,
will service two new science
buildings nearing completion on
the north east end of the cam­
pus and the proposed liberal
arts building, for which funds
have been appropriated, as well
as provide for the future de­
velopment of the ASU physical
plant.
The^new science buildings are
the $lmillion-plus Life Science
Center, scheduled for occupan­
cy this fall, and the $1.5 million
Physical S c i e n c e Building,
which will house the chemistry
and physics departments’ class­
rooms, laboratories and re­
search facilities.

nity to see many things in Death
Valley which the average person
misses. Using cameras with
giant telephoto lenses, he and
Mrs. Welles shot 30,000 feet of
color film, from which the pres­
ent movie was made.
The fantastic “castle” built
by Death Valley Scotty, flam­
boyant desert character who
made the place famous, will be
shown, along with relics of the
20-mule-team d a y s . Desert
flowers, birds, and animals will
be seen in their natural habi­
tat, and a battle between the
rare desert bighorn rams is one
of the exciting spots.
In this scorching desert val­
ley far below sea level may be
found tracks of prehistoric ani­
mals, stone records of primitive
man, and unique fish that
somehow survive the extremes
of temperature.
Over 250 kinds of birds are
to be found in Death Valley, in
a spot where as little as onetenth of an inch of rain has
fallen in one year. Some of
the photographs of these and
other creatures were made in
spots which can only be reach­
ed on foot after an arduous
trip.
Mr. and Mrs. Welles are both
graduates of San Jose State
College in California, and Mr.
Welles had extensive experien­
ce in drama and the theatre
before joining the Park Serv­
ice. His work in this field was
valuable to him in photograph­
ing and editing “Death Valley
the Year Round.”

Book Review
Next- Wednesday
At a book review luncheon
pext Thursday, in MU 218,
12:30 to 2 p.m., Dr. William C.
Childers, assistant professor of
English, will discuss the con­
troversial novel, Lolita.
Dr. Childers will attempt to
show whether the Valdimir
Nabakov novel is merely sen­
sationalism or true literature.
Tickets for the luncheon must
be purchased by noon Wednes­
day at the MU information
desk.
