Seeking an education at Iowa State, a new class takes its place in the friendly, complex world of college A LITTLE WEARY from the heat and ex- haustion of climbing stairs, two freshman coeds pause for a rest on the last lap of operation big move. f , T ti, r Y , Q i iw-2 New W A ' s 'A '74lSixss.fi.,ff h . W. V4 f f s W ji. OPENING OF THE MODERN NEW college book store in the south wing of Memorial Union helped relieve congestion as hundreds of students scoured the shelves searching for text- books. The heat of a late summer still penetrated the campus as Iowa State came to life again around the activity of nearly 10,000 eager students. A change in the college calendar brought many students back in August to prepare for Rush Week and Freshman Days. Settled upperclassmen returned to familiar territory, while hundreds of excited freshmen antici- pated with mixed emotions the unknown experience of college. With a maximum of activity proportioned into a minimum of time, freshmen moved steadily through a maze of meetings, instructions and tests. Registration, the stiffness of new textbooks, the first instructor pointing out 'tthe objectives of this course . formed initial impressions. The newness wore off as freshmen became integrated into the habits and activities of college life. Frosty air tinged the campus with brilliant color. Finals came. Thanksgiving vacation. The first steps in a new year were history.

S I0 closely-knit campus community Iowa State's student community is made more diverse and interesting through the large per- centage of married and foreign students who form a major portion of the college population. Over one-fifth of Iowa State's 9,000 students fall into the married student classihcation. Established in tempor- ary apartment homes throughout the city or in the housing units of Pammel Court, married students approach the task of getting an education with serious determination. Involved with their monthly budgets, baby formulas, tricycles and part-time jobs, students in the married population seek a quiet place to study and enough time to enjoy their families in their eager quest for a degree from Iowa State. The 260 foreign students on campus lend a cosmopoli- tan atmosphere to the college. Representing 60 coun- tries, mostly Latin America and the Far East, many of these students study here to prepare themselves for teaching when they return home. About 7 5 per cent are doing graduate work, mainly in engineering and agriculture. Tying in with the foreign student program is Cosmopolitan Club which provides an opportunity for the men and women from various countries to become better acquainted with each other and with American students. TYPICAL OF A LARGE NUMBER of Iowa State students, Lyle Bull finds a part-time iob a necessity to help provide income for his family and money for college expenses. In addition to his 21 credit hours of class, Lyle has two iobs at the horticulture greenhouse. HOMES OF MARRIED STUDENTS are scattered in apartments and houses throughout town, as is the Bull's, or concentrated in Pammel Court, a married student housing development north of the college in which almost half of Iowa State's married students live. 2 k , x , . , ..
