Theatre majors rejoiced as the Dance Centre opened this year, setting a new ultra- modern atmosphere for the College of Fine Arts, produc- tions. Future engineers were also fit to a T as construction began on the College of En- glneeringls extension. The pursuit of medical knowledge was boosted as construction commenced on the Cancer Research Center and the Shriners Childrenls Hospital. Below: From jazz to ballet. the College of Fme Arts celebrated as the new Dance Centre opened. 14 Opening USF's expansions were not exclusive of student life, ei- ther, as upperclassmen gained additional on-campus housing as the Village ex- panded. The call for greater housing capacity was also met by private agencies as new apartments sprang up all around the University. Off- campus growth was also evi- dent as restaurants, shopping centers and fast food chains bloomed to satisfy the palates of students.
