Response in Facilities Silhouetted against the towering rimrocks of the Silver Dollar City, Billings, one can easily see the $2.5 million Student Services Building which opened at the beginning of Winter Quarter. This building carries facilities for a modern, compact and practical women's dormitory for 300 co-eds. Sitting majestically on the east side of the campus is the new Physical Education Building with a seating capacity of 4,000 people, an olympic-size swimming pool, and classrooms and offices. With the flowering of these two buildings came the much-needed improvement to the former student union. Converted to the Music Hall, it houses the Foreign Language Laboratory, boasts the most modern equipment for individual listening, and features tape-recording facilities and recordcutting apparatus. All of these give foreign language students a better opportunity for improving oral comprehension of the four foreign languages offered at Eastern. There is evidence of more improvements, including the possibility of a new library and many other modern buildings. In the future. Eastern will continue to expand as in years past ... but to a much larger degree. Watch for the boom to balloon. Foreign Language Laboratory Control Board.
