Musical buildings
Voids to be filled when communication department moves
by Stephen J. Grant The University News
The way 'departments are moving around on campus is "sort of like musical chairs:' according to one BSU official. Dr. Kenneth M. Hollenbaugh, Associate Executive Vice President, said last week, "When one moves up, so does everyone else" Changes began when the theater arts and music departments moved to the Morrison Center last fall, according to Hollenbaugh .. The communication department will move into the remodeled Subal this spring. ~ Tho other departments also may be mov- ing, he said. i Space in the Administration building j vacated by the communication department J may be occupied by the political science department, according to Hollenbaugh. No final decision has been made though, because I the university's administrative offices need 1 more space too. If the political science department moves, the BSU Mail Services will probablymove in- - to the political science building located next to Campus Elementary School, Hollenbaugh said. The BSU Mail Services is currently located in a building thatthe university leases at 2021 University Drive.. Deciding what department goes where has been done on an informal basis for the last five years, according to Dr. David Taylor, Vice President for Student Affairs, and it has USU Mall Services, eurrentlyoccupYIng a leasedbuildlngaeross lJrtiversltyDrivefto~Cam~ , . ,,:'w.9rJs~g.fairly. ."!~W:.-.,.,...,_""'~;"', .: ,.pUsf,EI~IW;I*IrY.,.S~~ocol~may.gett!) !l'o~~:!~tou~Y.ersltYsPIl,~e:Pb~t.9by Rll!il!.P,., M~rkllS: .. ,)3e~fit to the education program.cpst;,. . ..'2.;"", ..;""/""",- /,< -';",,':;,,:,;""'"' "oC'.'''' ," ,"<': ..';" ,,'.'
