HOUSING SOCIAL STUDIES Evans Hall is full of history, psychology, and sociology maiors..,There are DAY ARMORY, THE home of the military department. From these doors walk the leaders of tomorrow. Built in the '30's with WPA money, Day Armory is doomed to iust a few more years. Plans are be- ing made to raze this building and move the military department out to the newly acquired country club section of the campus. ten large classrooms, an auditorium, and plenty of office space for the instructors. During the bloc the education maiors set up camp in Evans Hall. They have to meet from 8:00 to 4:00 five days a week, with the auditorium being the most common meeting room. FINE ARTS MOVED into their new building last year to find plenty of room for classes, labs, office space, and rehearsal rooms. The arts building adds a touch of aesthetic quality to the predominately utilitarian designed campus. The music, art, and speech departments are each considered ones of the best in the state. With new facilities each department can now work to its potential capabilities. li- l. ,, ... -r I H+- 1 k A. .. -V-Y., -- 5 ' ,f uc-1. f....
