Examination Proves Hall Safe for Varsity Dances
F. A. U. Floor Is Secure
The dance floor of the F. A. U. ball is entirely safe from collapse according to a report made by Dean P. F. Walker and Prof. H. A. Rice of the School of Engineering following an examination of the building at the request of T. J. Sweeney of Lawrence.
The report states that the large springs which carry the dance floor are seated on the main floor tinbelting which is constructed of twelve six-inch blocks, and a second system of tinbelts, six inches in depth, on which the finished floor is laid. Close beside each cooled spring is fastened tinbelting which makes it impossible for more than three quarters of an inch.
The examination revealed that the strength of the main floor is entirely adequate. The partitions, cast iron pillars, and length of span of timbers are mentioned as being well planned and safely built.
Examination of the floor and building was made on the afternoon of March 28 when the building and on the evening of March 28 when a Varsity dance was in progress. The tests showed that the floor was quite well suited to operate perfectly.
The report closes with the statement that "The building appears to be in a thoroughly good condition and it is our combined judgment than the floor of the dance hall is entirely safe." The letter to Mr. Sweeney is dated April 1 and is signed by T. F. Walker and H. A. Rice.
