r S ji Si!! ' Growth-expansion. These two words are key factors in describing UA and what is happening here. Our enrollment has increased and with its growth has come the need for the expansion of UA facilities. Parts of the Fine Arts Complex are in use-the sculpture classes are meeting in the new studio, and the housing office has moved to the Fine Arts com- plex. Construction on the dining commons between Bartlett and Moore should resume soon. At the time the Denali went to press, Hess Hall had just been leveled and the ground work had been started for the new 8-story classroom building. The new Modular units behind Lathrop were scheduled to be ready for occupancy within 2 weeks. Additional married student housing and faculty housing is still badly needed, to say the least. Committees are working to try to find some type of solution to alleviate the problem. Something must be done in order to keep our present faculty, in order to draw new faculty and to keep our married students in Alaska. The new Bio Science Building on the West Ridge UA campus growth Construction on the prefabricated Modular units continued throughout the winter despite the cold. 12
