OPENED TI-IE FIRST PART OF NOVEMBER, THE COLLEGE HOSPITAL wAs THE FIRST OF THE NEW BUILDINGS T01 BE COMPLETED DURING THE YEAR. Campus Becomes Scene Of Building Construction Last year, North Texas began a multi-million dollar building program to include new residence halls, classroom buildings, parking lots, and a new hospital. This year, the building got underway full-swing, and the campus became an ever-changing scene filled with cranes, scaffolds, bulldozers, and bricks. The first new building to be completed during the school year was the college hospital, a 3400,000 structure opened during the latter Part of Novem- ber. The old college hospital was then razed to make room for a new business administration classroom building. A new wing was added to the library building, and a new industrial arts building rose on the cam- pus. A classroom building for the Physics and Mathematics Departments replaced the old post office building. By 1968 the present construction program is expected to be completed, and North Texas will have a true new look. BULLDOZERS . . . NOISE . . . DUST . . . if all goes into me transformation and face-lifting NT is now undergoing.

FRAME STRUCTURES ALONG AVENUE A ARE RAZED TO MAKE ROOM FOR A MODERN CLASSROOM BUILDING FOR THE SCHOOL OF HOME ECONOMICS. SCIENCE HALL, home of the Physics and Mothe-matics Departments, will be replaced by on new modern edifice. 5 1 Old Buildings Give Way To Modern Structures At first glance, it might seem that the North Texas campus is being destroyed. Actually, the buildings being razed are making room for more new edifices. The old hospital and a frame storage house were torn down to make way for a new Business Administration classroom building. Two frame buildings along Avenue A were razed to allow space for a new home economics building. And Matthews Manor, past home of college presidents, gave way to the new indus- trial arts building. - ' Science Hall, which has provided space for the Physics and Mathematics Departments for many years, will come down after the new structure is completed. Other buildings have come down to make way for one new parking lot opened in February and three more under construction for student use.
