f Beauty In fulfilling its goal to provide the warmest campus environment possible, MSU ' s campus landscape unit has, through its thoughtful plan- ning and construction, added beauty to and unified State ' s campus landscape. Charles Scoggins and Sam Hogue, campus landscape architects, have completed many recent projects on State ' s approximately one thousand acre campus. Accomplishments such as the placement of free-standing signs located in front of buildings on campus, the plaza in front of Macarthur dormitory, the new campus lighting projects, and the pedestrian area in front of Suttle Hall represent only a few evidences of the designer ' s desires to create the best in campus environment. The campus landscape unit is reponsible for maintenance, design, and construction of land- scape features and cares for not only the im- mediate campus but also the athletic fields and golf course. In expressing their dedication to the im- provement of MSU ' s campus, Scoggins and Hogue state that Outdoor space should have the same care and design as indoor space. The care they and the department have taken truly depicts this idea. Lighting projects include the five-globe lights placed in pedestrian areas, courtyaids, and walkways of Memorial, Critz, Evans, Smith, and other halls. These dimly-lit fixtures pro- vide low scale, intimate lighting that sets the mood for a peaceful evening. The free-standing signs in front of campus buildings are what the department stresses a major success in tying the campus together. Each marquis, bearing the name of the building on a brown background trimmed in small stones, is not only aesthetically pleasing but is also a great helper for those students who wander around campus the first few days of school in desperate attempt to locate the buildings listed on their class schedule. Completing most construction, irrigation, and other grounds maintenance projects, the landscape architecture unit is assisted by the physical plant, whose help, Scoggins and Hogue contend, is extremely valuable in that the plant engineers install the wiring and elec- trical work necessary to complete the projects. Jeff Howell, a landscape architecture stu- dent at MSU, expresses the general pride in the department and its dedication to improving the beauty of MSU ' s campus. Given the size of the job they have to do, the department does extremely good work.
