Edgelea's new school is probably the nearest thing to a prototype of the new generation of prefab models. It is a single-story, brick-wood-steel building, low and rambling, composed of four self-contained, two-classroom units connected by an enclosed corridor of glazed glass (unnecessary in warm areas). Each 2,700-sq. ft. unit has its own twin washrooms, project area, heating plant, storage space and drinking fountains. The units can be used individually or added to as required, can be dismantled and moved to follow shifting populations. With such models, communities will be able...
...only violent deeds that followed Perón's violent words were scattered, anticlimactic, nonfatal episodes of brick-throwing, tar-splashing and bad-aim pistol-shooting in the provinces. No fatalities directly linked with the Plaza de Mayo show were reported except for the deaths of seven persons who ran afoul of high-tension wires while riding atop a crowded train bound for Buenos Aires...
...dead stop in 1.4 seconds. As the sled decelerated, Colonel Stapp was subjected to more than 40 times the pull of gravity (40 gs); his normal weight of 168 ½ lbs. momentarily shot up to 6,740 lbs. The driver of an ordinary automobile colliding with a brick wall at 50 m.p.h. would be taking much the same jolt-yet Stapp survived it with negligible injuries...
...Bigness Alone. Stretched over 570 acres along the Red Cedar River, the university has less than $5,000,000 to go to complete a $50 million building program, begun by President John Hannah in 1946. Along Harrison Road, a row of brick and glass dormitories costing $8,000,000 is now near completion. A $4,000,000 library and $2,500,000 housing development for married students will be finished by fall, and a $4,000,000 Animal Industries Building will go up some time next winter. All this is not done in the name of bigness alone...
...indeed a sad commentary on the future of federal buildings if their design is to be dictated by the Washington lobbies of building-materials trades. Imagine the final structure-a composite of Indiana limestone, California redwood, Vermont marble, Montana copper, Oregon Douglas fir and Rhode Island brick. Add one flight of New Hampshire granite steps so that the whole may be recognized as "monumental...
