University suffers growing pains Since the early sixties the university has undergone a period of rapid expansion. This expansion has taken place both in enrollment and physical development. In a time of change such as this, any institution suffers a few growing pains. Several attempts have been made to ease these growing pains, and among these efforts were several recent property acquisitions. In November, President Leestamper announced plans to purchase 500 acres of land eight miles north of Cape Girardeau, the McSpadden Ranch, to be used by the science department. Other plans for campus development which were discussed included a new physical education facility and a multipurpose building to serve the campus and the community. In October the university and the Bootheel Regional Planning Commission collected data which led to a recom- mendation for a service center in the Bootheel. 4Phy io lp

After a dormant period of a few months, space allocations were made. Part of the first floor of Memorial Hall became Studio Three, the art annex, where ceramics, crafts and sculpture were taught. The art department shares the first floor with the industrial arts department. The Student Health service moved from its cramped quarters in the basement of Academic Hall to the second floor of Memorial Hall. In addition, the university museum was opened in the renovated Ballroom on the main level of Memorial. Several offices, including Housing and Placement, took over the third floor.
