Three new faces appeared on campus this year as construction began on the Intramural-Physical Educa- tion Building, the Foreign Language Building, and the Music Building. A fourth new face, the underground Undergraduate Library, opened its doors in September. The Intramural-Physical Education Building, a multi- million dollar athletic facilities complex, was designed for recreation and education. Plans included four gymnasiums, two pools, twenty-three handball and seven squash courts. Rooms for golf, archery, combat sports, exercise, and games were also included. One unique innovation was the design for four tennis courts that allow winter conversion to an ice skating rink. The new Music Building was planned to provide many needed practice rooms and new facilities for music students. In addition to containing all language departments, the Foreign Language Building was designed to include special classrooms for lessons taught by PLATO, a computerized teaching system. 19
