The 1900 have served as a time for growth and advancement for the university. A diverse group of students, faculty and staff has evolved through this process. At least 49 states and 98 countries are represented by students at the UA, and at least 16 percent of students are minorities. Along with this diversity has come an increase in the intellectual ability of stu¬ dents. The aver¬ age ACT score for entering fresh¬ man this fall was 24.42 and the average grade point average was 3.51, accord¬ ing to University Relations. The past centu¬ ry brought great advancements to the University of Arkansas, but what will this century hold? Enrollment will probably contin¬ ue to rise and the representation of minorities may increase as well. With this addi¬ tion will come expansion to the campus in the form of class¬ rooms, residence halls and parking garages. It§ likely that technology will predict much of the university future as the Internet and distance¬ learning become even more accessi¬ ble tools for education. Possibly most important though is the thought that if the university con¬ tinues to graduate students at its current rate, more than 275,000 will be awarded degrees from the UA in this century. Regardless of what the year 2000, and beyond, hold for the university, we can rest assured that the UA and its stu¬ dents will make their mark. — Felicia A. Jewell Razorback 2000 5 ...

C ampus Life encompasses everything students experi¬ ence during their time at the University of Arkansas. In the past century, the UA has increased enroll¬ ment, offered a greater variety of courses and physically grown to encompass 420 acres of land. Since its completion in 1875, Old Main has served as a focal point of this campus. From the year 1900 to the year 2000, life on campus has evolved through many changes. In the next 100 years, Campus Life is likely to change for students. With inflation, tuition will probably con¬ tinue to rise, but hopefully more financial aid and scholarships will be made available. Perhaps classes will become even more interactive and students will have the opportunity to study under world-renowned professors from other universities. In this past century, Campus Life has come to signify all of what it means to be a student. In this coming century, the UA tra¬ dition will continue as the year 2000 and beyond bring great changes to the UA. fpB A W v V r l ,1 ml L 1 r ¥ - 1! 1 : A ! (I L i 1 MP f Mm. ' -j I | J-lv % JfmM
