Once-Dim Row Now Lit Up By Electricity
The "long-dim Row7” is lit.
Workmen for the Water and Fower department last Friday hegan stalling powerful, 6000 lumen lights over streets and alleys of the sorority side of the Row.
Wednesday the workmen finished installing one light between 27th and 28th streets; one between 28th and 30th streets; one on 28th street near Figueroa; and one in each cf the alleys paralleling the Row.
Lights for the Row' have been on the Water 5iid Power department schedule since 1947. The two-year delay was blamed by officials | of the department on material and j manpower shortages.
•FECULIAR HAPPENINGS’
Women living on the Row have for a long time complained about the poor lighting. At various times they have reported ‘ peculiar happenings” while returning to Row houses at night.
Although police protection was termed “excellent” by house members. the “fear of being molested was constantly present." Row residents said. ‘ Adequate lighting was a necessity,'’ they said.
Elwood Houseman and Lyle Wayland. members of the Greater University committee, were assigned by the committee at the beginning of this semester to investigate and attempt to get lights for the Row.
SITUATION SURVEYED
Houseman and Wayland surveyed the situation and took their report to university and city officials. From David F. Cook, official of the Water and Power department, the two students secured in February the promise of lights for the Row—in the near future.
Not content with the promise— the same as given in 1947—House-man and Wayland campaigned for lights by speaking before groups interested in the welfare of women students.

A promise that the lighting in University library would be improved was made yesterday by Dr. Frank C. Baxter, chairman of the libra ry committee.
"The administration is taking steps to improve the lighting in many of the important and most used parts of the library as part of a program of refurbishing a,11 the main university buildings,” Dr. Baxter said.
The university lighting problem has long been recognized by the administration. Dr. Baxter indicated. Its solution, however, has been difficult because of the necessity of preserving the “spirit and beauty” of the rooms.
A tentative plan lor using fluorescent tubes in the present light fixtures has been worked out.
