Over the entrance is the granite. There are but three floors; the first the containing the physical laboratory, the electrical laboratory, and engine room, in which is kept the printing press for doing the college lecture printing. the On the .second floor are two recitation rooms, a room, the young ladies' supervision of It is one a study room, and the library, which is under regular librarian. The third floor is a spacious of the finest halls in this part of the country, thirty-eight feet long, and a drill hall. one being hundred and one having seating not capacity of thousand. The acquisition of this building only increases the facilities for work, but also makes it possible to develop .social life at the college. The barracks and carpenter's Lippitt Hall, shop have been moved east of and the interior of the former has been converted into chemical laboratory and lecture room. This laboratory is much larger, and, because of its excellent hoods, better than the one formerly used in Taft Laboratory. These buildings have been a moved for the purpose of clearing the campus. a The government has built half campus, which mile of as .sample road around the greatly facilitates travel, many the chief characteristic of Kingston There soil is mud. were so applications on for admission to Wat.son Hou.se that the two attic even rooms the third floor were furnished ; but these additions proved insufficient for the demand.

Those who have watched the growth of the institution fully appreciate these improvements, and we hope the coming volumes of "The Grist" will be able to relate further and greater than have yet been successes accomplished.

Potential Sources of Indoor Pollutants
Bathrooms, Kitchen and Laundry Room
- Bathrooms or kitchens without vents. Proper ventilation is a key factor in improving your homes air quality. Vents cut down on mold and mildew in damp areas.
- Laundry room with unvented dryer. A dryer should be vented to the outside of the house to minimize the spread of allergens such as mold, mildew and pollen.
- cleaning
products stored under kitchen sink or near air conditioning unit.
Gases can be released from chemicals found in many household products. When they are placed near an air conditioner, fumes can be transmitted through the system and dispersed throughout the house. A better place to store them is in the garage.
- Dirty refrigerator drip pans. Mold and mildew can collect in this damp area.When cleaning, dont forget to check the bottom of the refrigerator.
Bedrooms and Furnishings
- Dust mites in bedding. Frequently clean the bedding in hot water to reduce the number of these common allergens.
- Dry-cleaned goods. Gases can be released from the chemicals used in dry cleaning. Air out dry-cleaned goods before storing them in a closet.
- Formaldehyde in carpet, draperies or paneling. Have products containing formaldehyde aired out before having them installed in your home.
Structures and Systems
- Dirty air conditioners. Air conditioner filters should be changed monthly or according to the manufacturers guidelines. Your air conditioning system, including the coils, should be serviced by a professional yearly.
- Unventilated attic. A homes air quality can be threatened when pollutants are trapped inside. If your home doesnt have an attic vent, consider having one installed.
- Water damage around windows, roof or basement. Damp areas can become breeding grounds for mold and mildew. If water damage occurs, have affected areas replaced.
- Asbestos in floor tiles. Asbestos is used in some tiles and for thermal insulation and fireproofing. Asbestos is considered relatively harmless when intact, but health risks such as lung cancer can result when asbestos deteriorates or is damaged. Periodically check tiles for damage. Do not attempt to remove asbestos without professional help.
- Lead-based paint. Most paint manufactured before 1978 contains lead. If the paint is in good condition, leave it undisturbed. If it is chipping, do not try to remove the paint yourself. Hire a professional to correct your lead paint problems.
- Lead in water supply. If you suspect a problem, have your water tested by a professional.
- Radon
in earth and rock beneath home. Radon gas can enter a home
dirt floors, cracks in concrete walls or floor drains. Purchase
a radon test kit if you
suspect a problem.
Other Items to Consider
- Dogs or cats. Pet dander and hair is the leading cause of allergies. When possible, at least keep your pet out of the bedroom area a place where you spend a lot of time.
- Environmental tobacco smoke. Do not smoke in your home or allow others to do so. Smoke from cigarettes, pipes or cigars can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, lung cancer and other health risks.
- Pesticides. Do not store pesticides inside your home. Open windows when using a pesticide indoors.

Voting Celebrity Sightings
Celebrities: They're just like us! If they didn't vote early, they're waiting in line with the rest of us peons to cast their vote - just like Conan O'Brien. So send in any and all celebrity sightings at the polling stations. (B-list actors and reality TV stars count too.)
