Odessa 1970s campus plans spark growth and controversy
The Odessa area sets 1970s development in motion with a renamed University Blvd and a 363 acre campus site annexation. New president Bill Amstead moves into offices aiming for 1973 classes. Street widening, state support, and a $16 million two year budget follow amid lawsuits by Midland mineral interests and HEW desegregation actions. A key hospital bond fails and the Dalgleish imposter saga ends with his death. Tornadoes and hurricanes shape Texas headlines as Congress passes the Postal Reorganization Act and the census notes suburban growth.
