    PAGE 43  Aon  the  University's  400  acres  new  campus
          established at Kala Shah Kaku.
          Students  from  the  University's  eight  departments
          including BA/BSc (Hons) Physical Education, Botany
          Zoology,  Chemistry,  Biotechnology,  Psychology  and
          Fine Arts studied their first classes in the Academic
          Bloc of new campus on Wednesday.
          Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. Asghar Zaidi visited the new
          campus,  and  addressed  students  and  faculty
          members, saying “you've become history and future of
          this  GCU  new  campus,  and  students  in  coming
          decades  would  look  at  you  as  the  founders  of  this
          campus.”
          He said classes would be held on the new campus
          from 9:00am to 1:00pm, and shuttle transport service
          between  both  campuses  would  be  provided  to  all
          students daily.
          Prof.  Zaidi  clarified  that  these  six  departments
          including  BSc  (Hons)  Physical  Education,  had  not
          been  shifted  to  the  new  campus;  their  classes,
          research laboratories and faculty offices were intact on
          the  main  campus  and  initially  they  would  enjoy  all
          facilities on both campuses.
          He  said  that  Phase-I  of  new  campus  was  nearing
          completion and from next year, about two thousands
          students would study on this campus.   He also said
          GCU had requested funds to the government for the
          Phase-II of construction of this campus.
          The  Vice  Chancellor  appreciated  the  efforts  of  his
          team in disinfecting the whole campus and preparing it
          for classes in very short period of time.
          Prof. Zaidi requested the Punjab Health Department
          and the District Management to vacate the remaining
          parts  of  the  academic  bloc  of  hostel  for  further
          activities on the news campus.
