LIBRARY STACK ADDITION AND NEW GYMNASIUM
Two major items in the biennial budget, the Chancellor pointed out, are the
requests for $275,000 for a library stack addition and $750,000 for a gymnasium.
The proposed addition to the library (which must now store current book purchases
in temporary facilities) will furnish shelving for 120,000 volumes, or all new
books acquired over the next twenty years. A single addition at this time is
believed to be the most economical plan for expansion.
The proposed gymnasium would replace the hopelessly inadequate gymnasium
room built in 1910, concentrate health and physical education facilities in one
building, and release the old gymnasium area to student organizations in the
Student Activities Building
