. . . STUDENTS . . . Newness at East Carolina College is reflected in the young generation of students who occupy its cam- pus. Influenced by tradition yet tantalized by change, the new collegian views himself in the image of saucy fashions, sleek sports cars, and the never-ending quest for the peculiar or impossible. Constantly striving to better himself and his col- leagues, the student allots his talents to many facets of the college community. Some find enjoyment in leisure, and others are satisfied to busy themselves with various campus activities. Regardless of the goals at which each individual student aims his ambitions, he may be characterized as ever inquisitive, eager, and optimistic about the future. Art students enjoy do- ing their work on the grass surrounding Wright Fountain. Davis Arboretum, colorful and quiet, senes as a place where students leisurely gather. 0 w J ' : . . , m. ■ i ,nw- ' fV$i Rivifc

. . . PHYSICAL FACILITIES . . . Educational and intellectual growth at East Carolina College is accompanied by physical growth. The fre- quency of new buildings rising on campus is astound- ing. Now in the midst of a I6I 2 million dollar ex- pansion program. East Carolina has accumulated 52 buildings which span an area of 300 acres. These new buildings house an assembly of educational facilities which are surpassed by very few other colleges or uni- versities. To meet the demands of the accelerated college enrollment and the challenge of thoroughness in higher education, East Carolina is growing upward and outward. Towering over the campus is the re- cently completed ten-story women ' s dormitory. Slight- ly north of this edifice stands Fletcher Hall, a seven- story coed complex. Male students have also acquired new living quarters in the 508-man Belk Dormitory. New classroom buildings include a modern Educa- tional Psychology Building, a new School of Music, and a new School of Nursing. Athletic facilities have also been enlarged with the construction of Ficklen Stadium, a new field house, and Minges Coliseum. This coliseum houses one of the few U.S. Olympic standard swimming pools in the nation.
