I O.N.U.’s Focus On A CAMPUS Well-rounded Individual Is Evident In It’s Recent DEVELOPMENTS Over the past year, various addi¬ tions and expansions have been ad¬ ded to improve life for the students here at Ohio Northern. Facilities for the music program were renovated and expanded. Presser Hall b now a campus show- place with a beautiful 156-seat re¬ cital hall with state-of-the-art acoustics and lighting. An addition to the west side of the current build¬ ing will be used as a music rehearsal and practice hall that could be used for band, orchestra, or large ensem¬ bles. Air conditioning for the inner building and an elevator were also installed.The addition has been built so as to allow a second and third floor to be added over the rehears¬ al hall, Also, the lower stained glass windows, in Lehr Auditorium were moved and installed in the addition to blend architecturally with the cur¬ rent facility and to preserve the his¬ torically significant windows. Another expansion took place in King-Horn Center. The free weights and Nautilus equipment were moved downstairs into a larger room. Also, various equipment was purchased to improve the weight¬ training facilities. Some of the addi¬ tions included; new flooring, Olym¬ pic weights, Nautilus abdominal and lower back machines, dumbbell sets, Unviersal sets, weight benches and squat racks. The weight room b avialble for all students and faculty to use. Northern now has a first-rate weight-training facility Fcrthe bene¬ fit of all st udents. The natatorium in King-Horn also received an addition. GNU students Julianne Bay and Amy Neds painted a mural of a swimmer on the north wall of the natatorium to enhance its appearance. All of the additions and expansi- sions help to make Ohio Northern a better place for all of us. 26
