The University buildings comprise the entire Polk Street front and around the ends on Wood and Lincoln, including both towers. The new units to be erected soon are Numbers 2 and 3 at the upper left, extending west to meet the hospital, Number 5. Buildings numbered 6 to 12 are a part of the equipment of the State Department of Public Welfare and where shown in model form are not yet constructed.

FEDERAL grant of $1,220,000 (30% to be given outright, 70% as a loan) for building the second unit of the Medical and Dental College Laboratories Building in Chicago has been approved at Washington and the Board of Trustees has received bids for the work. The low bids exceed the amount of the present loan and grant, and at this writing various alternative proposals are under consideration by the Board of Trustees and the Federal Emergency Administration of Public Works in the hope that this project can still go forward. Funds for the new unit were originally appropriated by the state legislature in 1931 but the University at that time voluntarily turned back the money because of the State's acute financial condition. This year the legislature authorized the University to borrow money from the Federal Government for the completion of the plans and at the same time provided means for repaying the loan to the Government. It was the hope of the Board to have the new units ready for occupancy by the fall of 1936, thus enabling the College of Dentistry to abandon its old quarters, called by a special legislative committee in 1931 "a fire trap and a disgrace to the State." Finally, this new unit will

bring nearly all of the professional departments under the same roof, thus increasing the continuity of the work and the "belongness" of departments which have not been on the regular campus.

Basketball Season Opens

At this writing the athletic mantle has been shifted from the shoulders of the football team to those of the basketball players, who now take their seasonal position at the center of the stage. Coach Ruby has a comparatively small but select squad and expects it to give a good account of itself as the season develops. Football injuries to two of his promising players will keep them out of the starting games but we may expect the Illinois Cagers to be flirting with the lead in the Big Ten as usual. The first game was with St. Louis University on Saturday Dec. 7. The game, while not a rout for St. Louis, was in the bag for Illinois all the way. Riegel and Combes starred for Illinois. Final score 35 to 27.

another defeat by Chicago, although if the referee had been where the ball went over the tale might have been different. The team was, however, a typical "Fighting Illini" group and, although outweighed by every opposing team and handicapped by injuries throughout the season, gave a good account of itself. The most spectacular game they played was with Southern California when they won by a score of 19 to 0 at Los Angeles. The most surprising game was the 6 to 0 loss to Ohio State, co-champions of the Big Ten, when our light team battled their team of giants, outcharged their line and robbed them of everything but a few good passes. They held Ohio State twice within the 5-yard line and except for one run to a touchdown, blocked their running attack completely. Zuppke has again shown himself the master coach of both defense and offense. On November 30, the Illini Club of Chicago had their annual banquet for
