U-M'S RING THEATRE, a complete, ultra-modern, theatre-in-the-round plant. ‘New Look’ Continues on U-Miami Campus New building , which attest lo a university's growth, have sprung up over the l-M campus like unleashed mushrooms in the last two years. One of the first of the scries was the King theatre, a unique structure which lends itself to ring style, horseshoe and proscenium-type productions. Its versatility won national recognition for the University. The excavation of an orchestra pit made it also adaptable to musical comedies. A modern and fireproof art gallery, which was made possible through the generosity of J«k- and Kmily l.owc. took shajn- at the other end of campus. In it are two large exhibit rooms, one of which is also equipja-d for motion picture or slide projection and can l e used as a small auditorium or classroom for art purposes, and an art library, workroom and offices. The building is completely air-conditioned and has modern lighting which is ideally adapted to the exhibition of fine paintings. A new field house with well-equipped athletic dressing rooms also became a reality. It was constructed with proceeds from Orange Howl games and provided excellent quarters for all varsity Hurricane teams. I .and was given by the University to the Army for the construction of the ORC Armory. The large, spacious building not only serves reserve units in this area, but is also utilized by the University’s National Guard company, and by the I niversity’s KOTC Transportation Unit and Air ROTC I nit, for classroom purposes and weapons qualification. Hi Kappa Alpha fraternity was the first of the Greek chapters to erect its own frat house on campus. Besides modern, convenient rooms, the building also has its own swimming pool and separate living quarter for the house mother. Canterbury House found its place at the far end of Miller road.
