Tidwell to Have University Extension Center in Birmingham Named
The John State Legislature will name the University Extension Center building in Birmingham after retiring Dean Robert E. Tidwell after 30 years as dean of the Extension Division. The board authorized borrowing 612000 in revenue bonds for two dormitories housing 265 students and 144000 for a 72 apartment project for married students on the Northington campus. Dr. Carmichael cited a expected enrollment surge with a 19 percent rise in freshman and 17 percent rise in transfer applications. Comptroller Pickens reported a 48000 drop in student fees due to fewer veterans. The board approved carrying over 100000 from the 1953 54 budget. Newsmen were admitted to the first part of the trustees meeting but left during executive session to discuss two vacancies. The Supreme Court ruling prompted a call for evaluating its impact on racial co education policy and the university will study all aspects for the best solution.
