There was a marked difference in the building of this and past years. For, within an area one-hun- dred yards in length, on the site of an old football field, three build- ings were completed that, for the first time since the first couple strolled through the ravine, changed the center of campus lif e. Three buildings, which fused with the ex- periences of the year, emerged with unsurpassed significance. The East- ern building boom had become the building boon. Hi % --ajs - st 6 MILESTONE

Building was no new thing to Eastern Kentucky Univer- sity. More than a decade of feverish construction was the heritage of the University as it entered 1971-72. This tradi- tion of a developing campus was continued at no less a pace during the year, exposing all to the increasingly familiar sights of hardhats. structural steel, building forms, and frenzied workman. But, it was in this year that Eastern sur- passed her previous history of expansion with the realization of years of dreams and plans. MILESTONE 5
