BEES TIME - The day's news came to the newspaper Wednesday afternoon when a swarm of bees took up temporary residence on the headlights of an Ann Arbor News truck. The sight attracted numerous spectators to the E. Washington Street side of The News' parking lot but all but one onlooker stayed a good distance away. The only person who got a close-up view was Fred Dittmer, a professional beekeeper, who was summoned to the scene to remove the bees. Dittmer, of 181 Scio Church Road, had little trouble coaxing the swarm into a hive and says he doesn't mind being stung a couple times a year. He says it helps with his arthritis.

This aerial photo, looking southwest toward the heart of Ypsilanti, shows most of the EMC campus. The arrows point to a new five-unit coed dormitory (left) and the college's new $1,500,000 general science building, which will house the physics and chemistry departments. The first unit of the new dormitories and the science building are scheduled to be ready for the opening of classes in September, 1957. Adjacent to the southeast of the science building site is one of the campus parking lots, which are being enlarged and paved. At bottom left are the first units of the college's married students apartments, which were opened last fall. Additional units are planned north of these first buildings.
