G. Re-organized and additional programs 1. Graduate students should be organized on both formal and informal basis 2. Summer program should be improved 3. Program for honoraries, churches, and foundations H. Additional publicity I. Increased use of present facilities 1, Perhaps the Women's Gym could be used more for intramural and recreational sports 2. More fields should be made available a. The grounds in front of the Agriculture Building are large enough for one football field b. The grounds in front of the Stock Pavilion might be made available c. The football field in front of the Women's Gym and possibly the field in back could be used d. There is a large plot of ground belonging to the University next to the President's home. This ground is large enough for two football fields; however, it needs work done on it to put it into playable condition, 3. Perhaps championship games could be played on the quadrangle. 4, Use of rough fields now used for Stadium parking. J. Location of new areas 1. The Twin Citie6 are planning a new municipal golf course. Perhaps the University would do well to join with them in laying out a good (primarily as to adequate size, so that present faults of our ninehole course would be eliminated) 18-hole course. That would leave the present course for leveling and laying out of IMREC playing fields. 2. More IMREC office space should be provided. There is needed:
