| On all college campuses, the late 1960's and early 1970's
were times of student unrest.
In the mid 1970's, Roosevelt Hall was the place to be. There was a new "Flab Factory," as well as bowling, billiards, air hockey, and more. Roosevelt also housed a Tavern and a Candy Store. By 1979, the campus was changing. There were still 100 acres of agricultural land under cultivation, but new buildings, such as the Greenley Hall Library and Nold Hall Sports Complex, were dotting the landscape. There were 16,652 students in the 1979-1980 school year, including 6,156 full-time, 7,232 part-time, and 3,264 EOC students.(1) (1) From 1979-1980 Annual Report, State University of New York, Agricultural and Technical Col lege at Farmingdale. |
