Lively Atmosphere It ' s a rare KSU student who goes tlirough four years of campus life without coming in contact at least once with the Kent Stale Union, as it ' s officially known, or its offspring, the Hub. Technically speaking, the Union fulfills all the stu- dents ' needs— from hunger through social life. The Hub provides a place to get a quick snack, make new friends or pass time with old ones. Sometimes you ' ll even find a hardy soul studying, although it seems hard between the controversial minals and the noise from the juke box. The lounge is (he li ing room of the Lhiiversity and a handy meeting place. The Portage Room is the scene of dances and banquets. Downstairs, students can bowl, shoot billiards or find a fomth for bridge in the card room. The KSU book- store is also located here. Meeting rooms for any tampus organizations, and such campus go erning bodies as Student Coimcil, IFC and Pan-Hellenic Coimcil are upstairs. Members of many of the organizations have stood barefoot on Union chairs while having Burr pictin-es taken. The faculty dining room is located on the second floor of the Union. Coupled with the Union Cafeteria and Hub, it is a part of the L ' nion ' s food service. 28
