Few things make a less favorable impression on visitors than these faded remnants of a striking work of art. The restoration would cost only a modest amount. not nearty so much as the original installation. If there are no funds in the budget, this ought to be the sort of thing a donor would be wil&ng to sponsor. If possible, a more pennanent medium should be fOUld this time. The other request is simpler. OccasionaJly the gaDery on the second floor of McFaU Center has staged art shows, but without any sign on the outside of the building to notify passersby. No one likes to climb the stairs to find nothing there. A smaU attactvnent to the sign identifying the building would be aB that is needed. Paul E. Parnell Professor emeritus of English Vending price changes clarified Installation of the new vending machines on campus is nearing completion.
