Other improvements were better received. Construction improved the Union recreation area and a two-year construction phase began for Van Zile, Boyd, and Putnam residence halls. The Holton Hall was completed and rededicated Sept. 21 and an $8.6 million Regents Educational Communications Center was started. Those returning to residence halls found that their student ID cards allowed them entrance into their residence halls and Moore Hall was equipped with individual room phones. The Aggieville Improvement Plan, started in June, was well underway when students came to campus in the fall. Included in the $2 million budget were new sidewalks, lighting, and a parking lot. It was a year unlike any other, and in spite of the traditional concerns of classes, work, and socializing, life at K-State simply was not what U. expected. $8.6 million communications center gives K-State the cutting edge of technology.
