Auburn Receives a 26.2 Per Cent Increase in State Appropriations Colonel Linwood FunchessQ Director of Build- ings and Grounds, surveys construction site of the Auburn Memorial Coliseum. Through the efforts of educational leaders and former Governor George C. Wfallace, an educational bill was passed by the special session of the Legislature. This bill provided for a S3,139,595, or a 26.2 per cent, increase in state appropriations to Auburn University. Combined with the 5B500,000 gift of the Rockefeller Foundation, the Alumni Annual Giving program and other govern- mental, industrial, and private funds, this action allowed for increases in research and construction. One of the first major projects undertaken was the addition of new electrical substations. These substations will eventually allow the removal of all overhead lines from campus. Other features resulting from this alloca- tion were the addition of a olympic size swimming pool in the Auburn Memorial Coliseum, contracts awarded for the renovation of Comer Hall, an addition to the Forestry Building and a new Veterinary Science Building.
