The restoration of the tower clock was the restoration of a great symbol. The tower, so long abandoned, was completely overhauled during the summer by four U-D students. It now stands as representative of a changing campus. A campus changing in perspective outwardly with the addition of new buildings and inwardly through an aware student body. 23

Students running to class from the depths of Siberia are greeted by rows of cars and a newly-repaired Tower clock. The Fisher Brothers Administrative Center, financed through the Challenge Fund, will be completed in Spring, 1966. CN ix Campus becomes scene of multiple change When U-D first moved to the Mc- Nichols campus in the 1920’s, it moved from an urban campus and developed a suburban one. Once again, the Univer- sity is located in an urban area and the face of the campus is being changed. The majority of students attending U-D are from the city and this in itself helps shape the campus. The thousands of commuting students use hundreds of cars, which necessitate hundreds of parking spaces. Parking lots are, therefore, scattered around the perimeter of the campus, ranging from the massive lot known af- fectionately as Siberia to the almost forgotten faculty lot near the Science Building. But the campus is not made up en- tirely of parking lots. There are also buildings—buildings to house the fac- ulty and administration, the students, the books, the Jesuits. U-D is expand- ing these physical facilities at a stag- gering rate. New buildings will permit classes in rooms now being used for offices. They will also provide necessary office space and will add laboratories for U-D’s bur- geoning scientific curriculum. Adminis- trative offices will now be centralized in one building, instead of their present proliferation across campus. 25
