RAPID GIHIWTII CAUSES lillll DARY EXPA I0 Quickly overstepping the original boundary - the volcanic stone wall - the University of Arizona carn- pus is expanding and building in all directions. This year has seen the final construction of the Fine Arts building on the corner of Olive and Speedway, the new mcn's dormitory - Graham-Greenlee - and the beginning of the biological science building. Plans have been drawn for a new women's dormi- tory to be built next to Pima I-Iallg the building will be constructed in the shape of a large X. A Fraternity liow is planned on the land which is now the poultry farm, and two fraternities have already made plans to build. Students came again from all parts of the world to attend school and to boost the enrollment to an all- time high. Many out-of-state students are attracted to the University because of the Tucson climate which offers sunshine the entire year. Research expanded and continued to be carried 7 on in every field represented upon the campus. In November the University was host to the International Solar Energy Conference which met here for three days. A great interest was displayed in the solar house, con- structed by Raymond Bliss, just outside of Tucson, which uses the sun's rays for heating purposes. ln April men again came to the campus for a workshop on atmospheric physics. Old Main, which was the University of Arizona in 1891, still stands in the midst of the red-brick build- ings. Memorial Fountain standing before it is the spot of many poolings of pinned fraternity men, winners of elections and frosh who break traditions during Fresh- man VVeek. The campus maintains its green look the entire year, and during the spring blossoming shrubs and trees and gaily blooming flowers add color to the scenery. The cactus garden is still thriving in the area across from the 1nen's gymnasium.
