Four Spring Projects
Barring unforeseen delays, the University will embark
on a $22 million building program next year. Hopefully,
spring starts will be made on the construction of the new
library, the speech and dramatic arts building, a married
student housing unit and a dormitory complex.
Plans   for   the   construction    ■	
for the fall of 1968.
Also scheduled for opening
in the fall of 1968 is the speech
and dramatic arts building
which will occupy a site on
Franklin about a block east of
Pearce Hall, a classroom unit
currently under construction.
The building will cost about
$5y4 million.
The   married   student   complex is expected to cost about
$1%  million. It will be built
at the northwest corner of the
campus in a section west of
the  railroad  tracks  and  bordered on the north by M-20
and the south by Bellows St.
The   construction   of  this   96-
unit complex will free Preston Court, now being using for
married   housing,   for   single
students to relieve somewhat
the  pressing  student  housing
shortage.
Preston Remodeled
The  remodeling  of Preston
for   single   students   and   the
completion    of    the    married
housing   apartment   unit   are
  expected  to be  completed in

program have been outlined
by Norvall C. Bovee, vice
president of business and finance. He pointed out that two
of the buildings, the library
and the speech and dramatic
arts building, are being built
with matching funds from the
federal government.
"Plans and specifications
have to be approved in Washington before bids can be given out. This could delay the
starts on this construction," he
said.
If federal approval of the
library plans are on schedule,
bids for the library will be
put out in January. To be
located on Franklin St. and
Preston Rd., the structure is
estimated to cost about $5V4
million.   Occupancy   is   slated

Vernell Davis, director of
security, said that each security officer is a deputy
sheriff and therefore authorized to carry weapons.
"It would be under very
extreme circumstances that
an officer would use a gun
on campus," Davis said. He
' pointed out that the reason
the  men  .are   deputized   is
so they have the authority
to  make  arrests anywhere
in Isabella County. Without
such authority, Davis said,
