with Speech Communications, they will try again for space, this time in the proposed humanities building.
Partly cloudy to cloudy skies should prevail over the area tonight and Saturday, the U.S. Weather Bureau reports. There will be no important temperature changes. Winds westerly 10 to 15 miles per hour are forecasted for tonight. Low tonight 25-30 degrees. High Saturday 40-45 degrees.
Anthropology is maintaining labs outside New Fraser. Sociologist Warriner said, "The amount of space in that building (New Fraser) for anthropology is completely impossible. . . . They are borrowing four sociology offices which we shall probably need in the fall with our new staff, which means we will be fully occupying all our space by fall. And we had hoped to have enough space to last us until 1970, at least."
AN EIGHTH FLOOR may not have allowed all the departments the space they would need through 1970, but the planning committee feels it would have come close.
Psychology department chairman Anthony Smith said that his department has enough room now, but that any expansion of any of their divisions will start to cramp them.

But despite all this, the money requested from the federal government didn't come. To get such money, "There has to be," said Baumgartel, "elaborate justification. It must be mostly based on what people have already done rather than what they say they will do."
Or, as Warriner said, "We (the planning committee) weren't able to convince the agencies that our expectations were real ones at the time when we had to convince them.

that agency. They thought $39,525 to support anthropology was more reasonable, and granted that amount, said Warriner, "for moveable equipment and construction purposes."
So New Fraser's one federal government bought floor (the federal government's grants are "roughly equivalent of one floor" said Warriner), and the state's six, provided a battle ground for space by the University's population-exploding departments.
And, in 1963, when the planning committee suggested $795,-631 to the National Institute of Health (NIH), that U.S. Public Health Service sub-agency suggested back $397,815 for psychology.
Just exactly how the government decided on the amount awarded in the grants is an unanswered question. However, the two agencies do consult with one another on such joint ventures as New Fraser.
And, again, the federal government only pays for research space. Classrooms are supposed to be provided by the state.
And, when talking about the problems of New Fraser, Baum-gartel said, "In all affairs of men, there are limited resources."
One classroom, a big lecture hall, won't have to be paid for by the state or anybody because it was crowded out by the space trouble.
BY THE SUMMER of 1964, when the word was back that the amounts given were much less than the amounts asked for, "we had," said Warriner, "to go through considerable problems of cutbacks."
And that was when the struggle for space became most severe and ended in a stalemate that was

One of the nice things about owning it is selling it.
A new Volkswagen doesn't depreciate wildly the minute you turn the key.
In a way, the older it gets the more it's worth. So that in 5 years, the same VW will be worth more than some 5-year-old cars that cost twice as much to begin with.
Old VWs are worth a lot because a lot of people want them.
One reason is that it takes a real car nut to tell a clean used one from a new one.
VWs always look like VWs.
Another reason is that they hold up.
A VW is put together so well, it's practically airtight. (It helps to open a window to close a door. Even on old ones.)
And, new VW or old, there's all that nice money you keep saving on gas, oil, tires, insurance and repairs.
Which means you can get a nice price for it. (If, for some strange reason, you'd want to sell.)
It's the kind of economy that people are willing to pay an arm and a leg for.
