SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1958 'Walking Predicted The main campus will be a "walking campus"—like those of most other Univer sities—before 1970. The Long-Range Development Studies, which suggest construction of approximate ly as many buildings as now exist at the University, calls for less parking space in central . , campus than now exists. • The studies also foresee peripheral par king and campus road improvements to help solve the 'University's long-stand ing traffic problem. Students and faculty members may be allowed to park in the central campus area only under special exceptions. Pollock Road may be closed to regular traffic. Many of the streets that now serve as roadways and parking areas may be only service drives, One of the major changes in the campus traffic situation will be construction of a Route 322 by-pass around State College. According to tentative plans, the by-pass would be constructed to run north and south at the ex treme east end of campus. An "inner loop" would traverse the campus from College Avenue at the home management houses to Park Avenue, and would be extended farther north past the dairy barns. As part of the plan, Entrance Road no longer would connect with College Avenue, eliminating some traffic through the Nittany area. The football stadium would be relocated between the "inner loop" and the 322 by-pass. Uni versity officials said this would be an area where sufficient parking facilities could be main tained and where traffic could move into and out of the area without becoming tied up in Stale College and campus traf fic movement. Major parking areas which may be eliminated from the main cam pus area because buildings may be constructed on the site include: Part of the west parking lot near Recreation Building; the area immediately west of Electrical Engineering Building; the area west of the president's mansion; the area next to the library; part of the area behind Grange Hall. Some additional parking space h tentatively planned for part of the area where Beaver Field now is located. Major traffic, changes, may • in clude extension of Curtin Road from Burrowes Road to North Atherton Street; construction of a drive connecting Curtin and Pol lock Roads, to run between Whit more and Frear Laboratories; con struction of a drive between the end of McAllister Street and Pol lock Road. ~t. ~ if Costs Set -- (Continued from page one) tributions or student fees.

About $10.5 million of the $12.- 379 million total would go to !ward classroom' buildings and laboratories. These will be fi nanced, according to present ,plans, by a revolving building fund supplemented by gifts and grants. Nearly $2 million would be spent to erect student union buildings and any other general buildings planned. The student ; activities buildings would be paid 'off gradually by student union fees. Figures and statistics for the ,expansion of centers and campus ;es are taken from 4 i,-, report sub mitted Jan. 1, 1958, by the Ad lministrative Committee on Long- IRange Development. lExpansion will be in student enrollment as well as in physical facilities. The projected off-camp us enrollment for 1970 is 10,000 'students, with half candidates for , a bachelor's degree and half for 'an Associate degree (a two year ,program.) This estimated total en 'rollment includes Mont Alto For estry! School as well as the centers land campuses. The following proposals were offered by the development com mittee as possible modifications in the program: • Increasing , the number of centers (and., campuses) offering the two-year associate degree pro gram. • Increasing the number offer ing the two-year baccalaureate curricula. • Broadening the scope of the two-year centers (and campuses) in the more heavily populated areas of the Commonwealth to include three and four-year cur ridula, thus in effect transforming certain centers (and campuses) into major branches of the Uni versity. The committee also proposed, in looking to strengthened quali ty of off-campus faculties, that "systematic consideration" be giv en to the possibilities of: • Rotating some faculty mem bers between the main campus and the centers (and campuses.) • Providing research oppor tunities for faculties at centers (and campuses.) • Offering graduate programs at some centers (and campuses.)

In 1970 the 10,000 enrollment Would include about 1500 women. The percentage of women will be increased more than proportion ately, in keeping with the trend at the University. . The University's centers and campuses are just one part of its extension program. Extension credit courses are of fered throughout the state on an evening class basis at both the un dergraduate and graduate levels. Extension course credits are ap plicable toward baChelors and/or masters degrees. Other general extension activi ties include evening technical in stitutes, class centers, a manage ment training service, a labor ed ucation service,• a correspondence instruction program and informal instruction. In 1955 there were 15,045 per sons participating in these gen eral activities. The projected total for 1979 is 64,497. The University also provides a cooperative Agricultural an d 'Home Economics Extension Pro , cram. This service is for rural Pennsylvanians.

Many of these buildings made their appearance in just the! past 30 years. More than 30 of the 55 major campus buildings went up during the administra tion of Ralph Dorn Hetzel. When he took office as Univer sity president in 1927, the grounds and buildings were valued at $3,700,000; at his death in 1947 they were valued at $26,423,000. The physical expansion has been marked by cycles or, boom periods. Typical of this trend is the physical growth that took place from 1928 to 1932, involv• inj about $5,500,000. At this time the Nittany Lion Inn was built and Old Main was rebuilt. The original Old Main was started in 1859, measuring 240 feet in length, 80 feet in-av erage breadth, and five full stor ies in height. Construction was hatnPered due to the' civil war, so the building, was not com- I pleted until 1863. It housed all the students, and included a chapel, library, lecture and recitation rooms, laboratories and an infirmary. The only thing not included was quarters for livestock. Recreation Building, the infirm ary, sheep barn, veterans hospital, Sackett ißuilding, Grange resi dence hall, Buckhout laboratory, Mineral Industries Building; were built and the Power Plant was remodeled for the Petroleum Tie fining Laboratory in this expan sion period. Building lagged for a few years in the depths of the de pression, as enrollment de creased. But in 1937 and' 1938 building perked up and Ather ton Hall, White Hall, Mineral Industries wings, Sparks Build. ing, Burrowes Building, Pattee Library, Frear Laboratory, Electrical Enginering Building, Agriculture / Building, and Ty son Building were constructed.

YES El NO Would you feel that you should leave a formal affair if you found you YES NO were wearing clothes that were different from everybody else's? to the soldier and a chance for a college education on the GI bill. The increased interest in educa tion caused the enrollment to swell way above previous highs. offi c e s, laboratories, recrea tional areas and storehouses were pressed into emergency service. Temporary housing facilities such as Pollock Circle dorms were bought by the University at the time from the Army. In 1948 the veteran education boom subsided and the Univer sity was able to embark on a ma jor long-range building program to meet anticipated enrollment increases of the postwar period Thus Hamilton, Thompson, McKee, Simmons and McElwain Residence Halls were construct ed to meet the anticipated in crease in students. Also built at i l l the-time were the Mineral Sci ences Building, the Plant In dustries Building and Wi lard Hall. An Ordnance Rese rch Laboratory, begun during the war, was finished at this ime. Added later was Gar ield Thomas Water Tunnel. In 1950, Milton Eisenhow( sumed the reigns as Univ, president and the expansion gram, begun in 1946, was tinued.. . . At this'time the $3,000,001 Het zel Union Building was built. The Helen Eakin Eisen ower Chapel, Whitmore Laboratory, a Chemistry Stores Buildi g, a Food Processing Building, at An imal Diseases Research C•nter, new dairy barns, and green ouses were erected. In the same five year time, per iod, additions were made t. Me-1 chanical Engineering, Min- ral Sciences, Recreation and S. ckett Engineering Buildings. A total of 70 of the new tl ings were self-paying struc such as residence halls, halls, and the HUB. Other cial sources were from the eral State Authority, and p industry.

Buildings for a law school— on the present golf course— are included in the Long-Range Development Studies, with pro posed construction date set at "1971 and beyond." No plans are included in the studies for either of two other long-time dreams of University administrators a mecical school and a veterinary school. Persons connected with the University have discussed pos sibilities of establishing th e three schools "since Pocahontas was a papoose." according to C. S. Wyand, vice president for development. Wyand said there is no certain ty that even the law school will be established someday. He said construction of buildings to house the school and hiring of necessary personnel depend on the Univer sity's getting sufficient funds—as is the case with all the other pro posals included in the studies. But Wyand also said that a medical school and a veterinary school also conceivably could be established so m eda y, although they are not included in the long range studies. He described the studies as a long-range plan showing the min imum that the University must expand its present operations to 'try to meet the growing demand for education in Pennsylvania. As such, he said, it charts al most no new functions for the University. A graduate of the University's pre-law major of the arts and letters curriculum may attend any one of six law ! schools in Pennsylvania alone, the closest of which is at Dick inson College at Carlisle. Other law schools in the state ;are at the Universities of Penn sylvania, Pittsburgh, Duquesne, Temple and Villanova. 1 The pre-medicine curriculum was established sometime be fore 1928. A reason that has been given• for not establish ing a medical school is the lack of a sufficient number of large hospitals in the area. The pre-veterina&'curriculum was established in 1929. Some state agricultural leaders have sought a veterinary school to combat what they call a lack of •aterinarians trained in the treat ment of large animals. Salmon Resigns Arch Position F. Cuthbert Salmon, associate professor of architecture, has re signed to accept a position as pro fessor and head of the School of Architecture and Applied • Arts at the Oklahoma State Univer sity, Stillwater, Okla. He will begin his new duties in February. His wife, Mrs. Christine Sal mon, associate professor of hous ing and home art and chairman of the division of home art in the College of Home Economics, also has submitted her resignation. Both, practicing architects, Mr. and Mrs. Salmon joined the Uni versity faculty in 1947. Penn State has the world's largest water tunnel, the Garfield Thomas Memorial Water Tunnel. The test chamber is 14 feet long, 4 feet in diameter. It was dedi cated on October 7, 1949. PAGE FIVE
