Student Center Seen
in Tarleton's Future
A student center was approved
for Tarleton State College during
the September meeting of the Tex-
as A. & M. College System Board
of Directors. TSC President E. J.
Howell announced that the board
granted approval of preliminary
plans prepared by the Wyatt C.
Hedrick architectural firm of Fort
Worth.
The plans call for construction
of a finished main floor, a partial-
ly finished basement and an un-
finished second floor. Both the
basement and the second floor are
designed to enable future expan-
sion of facilities with a minimum
cost in labor and materials.
Plans for the main floor include
lounge area, a ballroom, meeting
rooms for campus organizations, a
snackbar, bookstore and post of-
fice. The basement area will in-
clude game rooms of various types
and space for a bowling alley
which is a proposed future addi-
tion, The second floor will remain
unfinished at present but is de-
signed to be completed as meeting
and organizational rooms when
funds become available. Mechani-
cal equipment including refrige-
rated air conditioning will be
housed,in the basemant area.
The exterior design will be pre-
dominately red brick and glass. In
general appearance the new cen-
ter will follow the basic archi-
tectural design used in construc-
tion of the new women's, dormi-
tory.
Hunewell Park has been chosen
as the location of the center. Sit-
uated immediately south of Moody
Hall and across from the Women's
Gym, the center will be readily ac-
cessible to both the men's and
women's dorms and classroom
buildings.
Additional plans are being pre-
pared providing for the widening
of the main campus entrance in-
to-a divided "in-and-out" thorough-
fare with angle parking off the
street. This will conform to the
street area between Gough Hall
and the College Dining Hall.
Total cost of the building in its
present configuration is expected
to be about $605,000.
Detailed architectural plans are
now being completed and it is
hoped that bids can be taken in
February in time to present them
to the System Board at its regular
meeting this month. If final plans
are approved at that time it is
expected that the actual construc-
ts will begin in March. An esti-
mated 15 months will be neces-
sary to complete the structure and
an opening date of September
1964 is predicted,
