Olson, in his second year at Minot State, is coordinating many programs for expansion, changes and ad- vancement. Plans and projects being worked on include a liberalization of the B.A. degree curriculum so that foreign language can be selective rather than required as it is at present. Ex- pansion of the fifth year program is also in the planning stage. In the immediate plans for building is the amphitheater. Legislative authority to build the amphitheater was sought after the stu- dents approved the levy by vote. Also in the stage of prearrangement is an addition to the Administration building. A S600,000-S800,000 addition is sought. In the long range building program, a humanities center has number one priority. Number two on the list is a physical educa- tion classroom building. Non-state funded building is marked for married student hous- ing. Builders are also looking towards a new Women's dormitory and a new men's dormi- tory. Campus beautification plans Were expanded this year with the planting of numerous trees and shrubs and the decoration of the campus grounds with flower beds. The substantial enrollment gain of this year will most likely continue. The 1968 fall quar- ter enrollment was 2,459, while the 1967 fall quarter enrollment figure was 2,143. A study has been undertaken to reorganize the administration and staff of the college.
