One year later Leestamper heads reorganizati Dr. Robert Leestamper directed many university-related changes during his second year as president. His first two semesters on campus had been highlighted by academic reorganization, which produced 'colleges and a new vice president of academic services. Fountain Plaza had been leased off-campus to provide married student housing, and the Restig property was ac- quired for use as a school demonstration farm. During the fall, 1976, an air bubble was erected as a temporary solution to crowded physical education facilities. The university museum opened, and a research study began to determine the need for a Bootheel service center. A SlS150,000 grant was allocated for a nature recreation and research area, and a former hospital building was purchased as an additional dormitory. During the spring, a comprehen- sive, long-range planning document was developed for review during the fall, 1977. ,r bN fri -ffvlllt 1 l ugly p F . wa' 1 t U ,. -Q - O Ll i 'V E
