E , sv 'sf '. :af-+0 9 ' 1 wi .5 ' ' VIOININC IN thi- MSU Growth, a ucw steam power ut rises on South Cfaunpus. Right and below-THE NENV Education and Art buildings speed to 1959 completion. If the students fortunate, or unfortunate enough to own automobiles felt prone to rebellion, their dissatisfaction was soon lost in the far happier response over the opening of the new Student Services building. Between fall and winter terms, a mass migra- tion of students started from crowded offices in the Union to this new center of student activity. Within a few short weeks, groups ranging from the State News to the Student Traffic Appeal Court had shifted operations completely. Even the married student, an individual gen- erally concerned with the more universal activities of home and family, found direct benefit from the universityis program of growth. By fall term, over 500 new brick Spartan Village units were completed, with 800 still under construction. This was steady progress toward the goal of 2,500 by 1959. Meanwhile, the largest unorganized group on campus, the sidewalk superintendents, found full employment despite a recession year for the rest of the nation. Construction began on new buildings ranging from art to education to intramurals.

The Crowds Came by Bob Slade While the World of 1957-58 sent aloft its sputniks and explorers and debated the question of man and outer space, another controversy re- ceived at least equal attention at MSU-that of student and parking space. Since their emancipation in 1954, when President Hannahis edict freed them to drive and park on campus, the number of student auto ovvners had increased until some drastic ac- tion seemed unavoidable. This fall, the intrepid undergrad motorist returned, horsepower in hand, to vie for his place in the North Campus sun. Instead, he found the promised land closed to all but his shoe leather and bicycle, While his auto was relegated to the peri- phery of South Campus. The inevi- table had happened, a revised driving and parking ordinance was in effect. Objections, explanations, questions and answers filled the air for months, but only one thing seemed certain. Limited driving privileges for stu- dents were here to stay. -Q
