Highway 60 received pri- mary coats of asphalt during the summer but. the road was not completed in time for fall classes. Tires from much of the heavy equipment used during the highway con- struction are unloaded on a siding at the Tonkawa railroad terminal. Heavy equipment prepares for the first layer of asphalt but rains soon un- did much ofthe progress. A familiar sign to North- ern's commuters is this one near the detour off the completed four-lane section of the highway from Ponca City.

Northern coeds turned to bicycles for campus transportation insisting that the exercise in bike riding had little to do with their decisions. Tree lined streets were not used by the same large number of students usually on the drag . A small car, although using more gas than a cycle, looks inviting when early fall showers hit the campus. Cycles, popular on campus for years, found easy access to parking. This cycle sports the new tag system introduced when the state's license plate manufacturer went out of business. - f gffzeil-5. -.1 1 of 4 .-4? -i,-,lb , f u 1 - , X ,- , - ,. , . A , -. .

-.1 ,.. ,im l . Highway 60 completed Ponca City link opens Highway 60 West, one of the main links to Northern, re- mained closed when students returned to the campus in late August and in January. The four-lane highway exten- sion, replacing the older highway from Ponca City to Interstate 35, was opened for only a few days during the fall flood in October that made all other low water roads im- passable. Progress, however, was noted at that time on the project as well as the new bridge on Highway 177 to Blackwell. Estimates were that the road would be opened in mid-Februa ry Conditions ofthe highways in the area are important to Northern because of the coIlege's commuter students--more than two thirds ofthe enrollment. lntroductionfll
