1965-66 at Kearney State; Biggest, Best Year Yet Nearly 1600 freshmen began their college careers at Kearney State College this year bringing the total 1965- 66 first semester enrollment to 3790. This biggest of all classes seems, however, only part of a trend which prom- ises to sweep this college into the role of Nebraska's second university. For freshmen as well as returning upperclassmen, the campus was bigger in all respects. There was a new 400 bed men’s dormitory ready for residence and a new women s dorm was under construction. The new science building, now Bruner Hall, was more than half com- pleted. It will be ready for classes next August. To top off one year’s expansion, the college acquired another 119 acres of land. In most respects, tilings were better this year too. Forty-nine new faculty members joined the ranks bring- ing the teaching staff to a new high of 204. Two parking lots had been paved during the summer, then reserved for faculty. The Union snack bar sported new liooths. Old Men’s Hall was now a women’s dormitory. There were new sidewalks and new lights lining them. All in all the campus was ready for the biggest and best year in its history. o
