Drmensrons For o New Decode : TU' Plon For o Better Future by Nancy Carle ce- f e--4 --i-s. ' N4-ag. - -'-:- We are now poised at a remarkable place in time -- one from which we can make a quantum leap in our task of building a great university. In the fall of 1978, President J. Paschal Twyman summed up the reason for the S43 million enrichment and expansion program at TU. The ten-year project, entitled Dimensions For A New Decade was carefully planned to enhance tive areas of the University - academic enrichment, building projects, refurbishments of existing structures, library acquisition, and research and laboratory equipment. In the area of academic ennichment S10 million was needed rofestablistiw , an endowment that would support i professorial chairs in American Business Enterprise, Petro um f - Engineering, and Energy L .

of the endowment was also allocated to support ll distinguished professorships and student fellowships. This endowment would make it possible for the University to attract superior faculty scholars as well as top notch and deserving students. Three major building projects were a new College of Engineering and Physical Science building, a Multipurpose Instructional Center, and a Student Services Center. The Engineering and Physical Sciences building was to be built on the main campus. Before this time, the building had been situated on the North Campus - about one mile from the main campus. Energy conservation and classroom expansion were the forces behind the building of the Multipurpose Instructional Center. The Center would house faculty offices which 'Q-. Y iv . 92 A ' b5.g -, were taking up classroom space. It would also centralize the continuing education programs and computer hardware so that the other building could be closed when regular classes were not in session. The Student Services Center would be a benefit to all students. Before the Center was planned, students had to search all over campus from an old fraternity house, to renovated apartments, to Westby Center, and even to the basement of Lorton Hall to find simple student-oriented offices such as financial aids, Dean of' Students, or parking permits. Money was also needed for major refurbishment of existing buildings. Facilities needed to be modernized for efficiency, safety, energy conservation, and accessibility to the physically impaired. Refurbishment would also maintain the University's W . T' reputation as an attractive asset to the city. Expansion and improvement of the campus was nothing new to the students of 1978. The WhitneyjShaw Alumni Center was completed and dedicated in 1977 as were the athletic offices next to the gymnasium. The main power plant was also enlarged. The S3 million underground addition to McFarlin Library was to be completed in 1979. The on-going construction projects were annoying at times - traditional walkways and playgrounds had to be rerouted, parking lots were taken over, and dust and noise filled the air. But a bit of excitement was in the air also as the faculty and students anticipated the benefits to come. 'Q 1 -.,1 . NA. zv ,, 1 il is Li Y' L'-n 1563 Dimensions I9 '-Q
