sap From Old Main and the Spoofers ' Stone to the Senior Walk and the Flog Call, the UA campus is steeped in history and tradition. But that doesn ' t mean it isn ' t changing j| and growing. During the summer of 2002, the UA spent about $245 million on construc¬ tion projects, and in the fall, the UA System Board of Trustees approved another $50 million to be added to an existing bond sale to build new facilities on campus and improve existing ones. In his third annual State of the University Address in September 2002, UA Chancellor John A. White said the university would spend about $642 million on construction and improvements during the next decade. One major project the university undertook this year was the remodeling of the Science Engineering Building, which was originally built in 1964. Workers removed asbestos, added an elevator and a sprinkler system and made the building compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Renovations also began this year on Carnall Hall, the fate of which was the subject of debate for years. The sec¬ ond-oldest building on the UA campus, a former women ' s residence hall, was on the National Register of Historic Places. Upon completion, the building will become a train¬ ing facility for students studying hospitality and restaurant management. The building will be renamed the Inn at Carnall Hall. To start on the $46 million Northwest Quadrat Project, workers first demolished Fulbright Hall, a residence hall that had sat empty for several years. The project called for 3 new residence hall, dining hall and university health center between Maple and Cleveland streets bounded on the east by Garland Avenue. The project als° included the widening Garland Avenue to fou r lanes. And for th 6 athletic department construction wa 5 barely completed o ' 1 the renovated Donald W.

Noisy hogs took to Dickson Street October 3-6 for the 3rd annual Bikes, Blues, and BBQ Motorcycle Festival. It was a celebration of hot motorcycles, great food and smokin ' blues; and it benefited a great cause, the Washington County Council on Aging. This is the group ' s largest fundraiser. It helps our program greatly, said Janet Leinebaugh, the director of the Council on Aging. 4 The festival started early Saturday with a police breakfast at 7 a.m. A poker run sponsored by Tyson Foods started at 8 a.m., and by Saturday afternoon the bikes and festival goers crowded Dickson Street and the Walton Arts Center parking lot. Hundreds of bikers and bike enthu¬ siasts made purchases from vendors in the north half of the parking lot and then listened to blues music in the south part of the lot. Another event that took place was the Action Honda Parade of Power. Motorcycles left the Northwest Arkansas Mall at 1 p.m. headed down Dickson Street. Nearly a thou¬ sand motorcycles participated. Organizers said the parade of motorcycles was the largest ever in the state. It stretched the length of the parade route in two rows as motorcycles were still leaving the mall as the first riders turned onto Dickson. Organizers estimated 30,000 people and 13,000 bikes attended throughout the weekend, and they were not disappointed. 020-021 4 Amy Brashear
