Mall Construction Brings Mud Fest A new, scenic mall, cutting right through the middle of UT Arlingtonls campus, was completed in mid-March and many observers feel that the end result was worth the many painstaking delays encountered in the con- struction. The mall, built at a cost of approximately 3S250,000, is composed of concrete and bricks, arranged in patterns and squares. Construction on the walkway was detained several times during the course of the year, due to many strikes and what a campus in- spector for the UT System called temporary delays. During these delays, rains pelted the cam- pus, causing students to virtually resort to water-wings in order to attend classes. Occa- sionaly figures assumed almost Robin-Hood positions, battling for position on the Wooden planks. They lacked only quarterstaves to complete the comic situations. 1 -- - -- lu Leveling for the mall began in the summer of 1968 when bull dozers upended existing streets and sidewalks. - v Workmen add jinishing touches to brick sidewalk replacing the old intersection of College St. and Second in front of Engineering Building.

Society's Future Subject of Studies The UT Arlington School of Social Work, which opened last fall, offers the only master's degree in social work program in North Texas. Under the two-year program, students spend three days a week in the classroom and two at such institutions as the Family Service Association and the Children's Medical Cen- ter, where they are supervised by qualified field instructors. The courses they select prepare them either for direct person-to-person services or for administration or community planning, which involves work with larger groups to prevent social problems. The Hoblitzelle Foundation has given the school a 325,000 grant to assist in the develop- ment of a library. Dr. Fernando Torgerson, school director, said the gift will help remove a major hurdle on the road to early accredi- tation. The school hopes to be recognized by the Council of Social Work in 1970, the earliest possible time. Plans are underway for an institute, which will serve as a teaching and research center for the school and a service facility for public and voluntary organizations, as well as in- dividuals and groups. Dr. Torgerson said the institute would provide a program of direct personal services, consultation, training and community plan- ning. Under present plans class size will increase from 26 this year to around 50 next fall and keep doubling until a cutoff of about 250 students is reached. i -V , hw- ,,,s..,,. ... .- if V at 'QP SDR.
