How about watching the Liberace show over at the Oaks? Every college needs a special place on its campus to act as a center of the social activities, and Manchester College is fortunate in having a building such as the Oaks to serve this purpose. Man- chester acquired the Oaks in 1943 to be used for a cafeteria. Then in 1947 a soda fountain was added. During the summer of 195 3 the Oaks received a thorough face lifting and all of the cafeteria equipment was moved to the basement of Oakwood Hall, leaving only the soda fountain. Then, under the auspices of the Community Council and with some much needed financial help from all the students and faculty, the front part of the building was converted into a lounge equipped with a TV set given by the senior class of ' 5 3. The central part of the building is now a snack bar. In the near future a recreation room is also planned in the rear of the building. After the trying activities of the day, a friendly card game and refreshments in the Oaks can be enjoyed by anyone. Ocuki . . . Page fifteen

Qalu44t T Ia cMcdL . Named in honor of Calvin Ulrey, who gave his estate to Manchester College to fur- ther the cause of Christian Education , this modern dormitory was built seven years ago. This fireproof building has three floors and a basement, containing the most up-to-date liv- ing accommodations on the Manchester campus. Living space for 96 students and the dormitory superintendent and his family are provided. Boasting of some of the more modern lounge furniture on the college premises, the main and basement lounges of Calvin Ulrey Hall are among the bright spots of Manchester College. Men living in Calvin Ulrey Hall are justly proud of their well-lighted recreation rooms and fine ping pong facilities. Page fourteen
