Cover Story, "A Campus Plan: To Meet the Needs"
Legend has it that a few years ago Memphis State officials asked a campus planner to look over the old sod and let them know the possibilities. He is supposed to have said, after a look, "Tear it down and start all over." Fortunately, his advice wasn't taken and another, more optimistic, campus planner was found. The nine buildings now under construction or planned for immediate construction all will fit into an architectural -as well as academic- plan. For answers to questions often asked by Alumni, The Columns asked Dr. Calvin Street, director of institutional research, about what is happening to our campus.
