The newest concept of Western's physical and academic expansion is the institution of Fairhaven College. This is expected to begin operation in two years, situated in dormitory facilities oncampus, as itsfgwn build- ings cannot be finished for several years. The general education com- plex was developed by the Long Range Planning Commission, head- are being studied at the University of California at Santa Cruz and Wayne State University. Fairhaven will function with its own faculty, student body and cu rriculum-in short, a separate identity. Courses offered will be solely in the liberal arts fields, with maiors and minors studied at Western proper. Most classes will be cori- ed by DrfT,August Radke,,.iSimilar ducted in a .seminar approach, with experiments in liberal art? facilities hopes for a better student-faculty interpolation. ,,.,, jf ' qi' ':f'ff-M ,,...-.,.-,,,,,,, MMM, c :va .... ,,........ , , ,,, 1 4511? , , A 1f,,,...,,,M,,,..m' L B a n gllllllll zz ' l 4 Z E ', ', I I , -4'r1 Y' I till . , 'Zi W I 11 f I ., ' '12 '. 4fEE'1fLfilQ3 WZ' ZZ, y tif-'1W1l 'f ' f ii-:ff fs ,wwf fain, fs -.

This is more than twice the present population of Western. The plan envisioned contains a well ordered relationship between the building development areas, and their sup- porting facilities, with internal pedestrian traffic moving through- out the campus, free from vehicular traffic conflicts. The business access on High street and Highland Drive through 2lst street will be rerouted and used only for campus use. A comprehensive plap is not in itself an end. Total anticipation of change in the future is not of course possible, and elements plan must be refined specificcfilliyi, includ- ing building relationsh.ips,wallcways, pedestrian collection aregs, circula- tion and landscaping. Aaiiwocl plan merely becomes the best guide,with respect to what is known of the future. Western Washington State College is becoming .knggggigas one of the most beautiful campuses in the country-care should be fore- cast wisely to extend and maintain thatquality. i I
