Student Center
Gets Face-Lifting
1
Janet Wooten, this year’s Stu
dent Center Board President, is
taking care of the student center
as if it were her own home.
Showing off the new additions of
the Student Center to the incom
ing and returning students,
Janet is proudest of our new
trophy case. The case, which will
hold intercollegiate and intermu-
ral trophies will also be the per
manent place for St. Andrew’s
Knight. The case was given to
the Student Center by the Inter-
Mural Council and the Physical
Education Department.
An aesthetic touch has been
added with three new prints that
were purchased for the Student
Center. The prints were part
of a travelling show that was
at St, Andrews last fall, and the
prints now in the building were
chosen by a student committee.
In the once “world of automa
tion’’ students may now eat in
what seems to be a real snack
bar. Six booths have been placed
.in the snack bar and more are
on the way. There is also to
be larger variety of food offer
ed at the snack bar grill.
Janet not only pointed out the
new additions to the building and
its furnishings but also that cards
and games can be obtained from
the hostess. When the books get
cleared out of the large T.V.
lounge the room will be used for
club meetings and small groups
will be able to sign up for pri
vate parties. An upcoming student
art show is being planned in co
operation with the Inter-Dorm
Council for the middle of Oct
ober.

make posters for a dance? If
in doubt of what you would like
to do, why not attend the Stu
dent Center Board Open House

suite with a fireplace, a wrap
around couch that seats ten peo
ple, an icebox plus a stove.
These are just a few of the
luxuries enjoyed by the ten men

House. This .“suite”, situated
on the academic side of the cam

economics students for home
management practice. This year
due to the heavy {^plications
