CO-CAPTAIN BRUCE STEWART

Senior Forward Bruce has been a starter since his sophomore year. The 6-3 graduate of Mackin High in Washington, D.C. was the Indians' number-two man in both total points and total rebounds last season. His 336 points last year gave him a varsity career total of 620. If he can duplicate last year's average of better than 12 points per game he will join the select Bryant "1,000 point" club before the end of the season.

10 He's a teacher and a student at the same time. He needs to be a master psychologist trying to mold 10 to 12 young, free-thinking spirits into a single cohesive playing unit. He could qualify as a travel agent for the American THAT Automobile Club after having visited every small town from Nowhere, N.Y. to Everyplace, N.J. His lengthy working hours, his erratic eating habits and the continual suspense surrounding his job makes him a prime candidate for a stomach ulcer. MAN Who is he? He's a college basketball coach; that special breed of man who's life revolves around the game of basketball. There arc thousands of collegiate basketball coach­ ON es in the country and each shares a common bond, love of basketball. Bryant's Tom Folliard is one of that special breed. Each year from October to March he spends between five to eight hours a day, seven days a week, either coach­ THE ing or studying basketball. That of course is in addition to his regular duties as Bryant Athletic Director. Then there's the traveling. Each season Tom trav­ els over 5,000 miles in his combined scouting and re­ cruiting effort. Then there's the 3,000 miles the team BENCH logged for its 12 away games last season. Of course when the season ends in March a good part of Tom's work is still ahead of him. He must visit several of the outstanding high school players around the east coast area which often takes him into towns few of us ever realized were on the map. Then there's the coaching clinics, conferences and conventions that keep him on the move almost until the end of the summer; just in time to get ready for the start of another season. 11 THE

DREAM CAMPUS

"It's an architect's dream" That's how one noted Rhode Island professor of archi­ tecture described the new Bryant College campus upon its of­ ficial dedication last spring. And although it's true the campus is built in a dream setting; the new home of the Bryant Indians is very real. Over 200 acres of reality in fact, complete with ponds, views of val­ leys and hills and some of the most modern architectural struc­ tures in the country. The hub of the new campus is the ultra-modern "Uni­ structure". This space-age building provides a place for maxi­ mum student interaction under its central glass dome. Includ­ ed in this single building are 55 classrooms, science labs, lec­ ture halls, an auditorium seating 500, faculty offices for 88, an administrative wing, three-story library planned to ac­ comodate 100,000 volumes and 400 reading stations, dormi­ tory dining room for 800, faculty dining room for 250, snack bar for 300, indoor swimming pool with locker rooms and sauna baths, game rooms, bowling alleys, the college book­ store, barbershop, beauty parlor, a bank, the College post of­ fice and many other student services. In addition to the "Unistructure" there is an ultra-mod­ ern dormitory village containing 13 dormitories for approxi­ mately 1150 resident students. Of course to the sports enthusiast the most important feature of the new campus is the more than 25 acres of ath­ letic facilities. The center of the athletic complex is a 1.2 million-dollar tartan-surfaced gymnasium complete with sauna baths, men's and women's exercise rooms, weight rooms, three basketball courts, and athletic department offices. However the gymnasium is only part of the athletic fa­ cilities available to the nearly 4,000 full and part-time Bryant students. Other athletic features include a six-lane all-weather running track, six tennis courts, newly constructed baseball and soccer fields, a five-mile cross country course and several softball and football fields for intramural activities.
