But an assortment of the new and old combined to create a new future for OU. Progress became the administration ' s goal. The most obvious blast of the new came from the College of Osteopathy. Other progress was more hidden. The modification of the pass-fail and ABC grading systems signaled increased efforts to up- grade academic standards. Athletics got more atten- tion with increased fund raising. The Freshman Residential Program was revised in efforts to better meet student needs. While plans called for a more comprehensive uni- versity change occurred all around us. Progress caught us between two eras. Demolition crews wreck Super Hall, one of the school year. Although the building was destroyed, the traditional graffiti wall behind it remained untouched. 6 Opening
