OLD MAIN CARNEGIE SCIENCE HALL

WE LIKE IT HERE We buildings have been around here a long time now, some of us like Old Main since I885, and we like it here. But this past year we all decided it was about time to get in step with the ever-increasing Macales- ter student body. So we creaked and groaned a bit as repairs and additions were made. Sand blasters worked most of the summer lifting the tired drawn face of Old Main. Repainting and an over-all sealer coat were applied to make sure that Old Main would be a part of Macalester College for years to come. Not to be outdone, the Little Theater burst its seams wtih growing pains by adding tive new class- rooms and two offices on the south wing. Next, the Science Hall caught the spirit when it converted its cold dark attic into two sparkling new chemistry laboratories and a modern geology labora- tory. While all these inside and repair iobs were being done, the Macal- ester campus saw the construction of two new concrete tennis courts and the crown of the football field was raised and completely resod- ded from goal to goal. The new lights were mounted high above Shaw field and night football became a part of life at Mac. The seating capacity of the stadium was raised to 5,000 when new bleachers on both sides of the field were added. Of course the biggest thing in years around the campus is the new f'p500,000 Student Union build- ing scheduled to be finished next fall. It has been a big iob, all these repairs and additions, but as Ma- calester grows in population and prestige, we buildings will do our best to keep in step. l THE WEYERHALISER LIBRARY Page seven
