The Showkey Student Union is perhaps the most popular spot on study break. Upstairs you con olways find someone in the music campus, for it provides the students a place to relax and take a listening room or in the Chief Justice office. Time Out For A Study Break The telephone in the union is kept busy by students calling home or calling to osk someone, What are you going to wear tonight? You ore not behind the eight ball if you ore in the base- ment shooting pool. Number four in the pocket, Joe. 25

STUDENT UNION Fun, food, and friends are said to be the main at- tractions of the Shawkey Student Union. Both students and faculty seek the intangible and tangible contents of this familiar white structure as a deviation from the grind of studies and appoint- ments. Dancing, ping-pong or a session of chop sticks on the piano are common occurrences in the Student Union. If one is hungry, then the inhabitants of Marshall ' s campus are aware of the provisions of the fountain division of the Union One of the main features and best sellers is the five cent cup of coffee. Downhearted, friend hunting, or just looking for the answer to a chemistry problem, the Union is the place to go. On Wednesday night, the Union is literally jumping as dance fans swing fo the music of the lotest records or to a live bond. One hamburger and a coke, please, is the order often heard at lunch time or in the late afternoon as students crowd in the snack Oreo to get that extra energy needed by busy people. Mass con- fusion and crowded booths seem to odd to the tostiness of that homburger ond coke. 24

Mr. Curtis Baxter Coordinator for the annual Artists Series, Forums, and Convoca- tions, he plans many months in advance in order to contract such nationally outstanding artists. ARTISTS SERIES Not only does Marshall College keep us up to dote in our methods of study, it also gives us an opportunity to enjoy the most up-to-date drama presentations, orchestras, and ballets found in the world today. We are extremely fortunate that Marshall is the only college in West Virginia and one of the few in the country which provides such top names as are found on the Artists Series program. This year a full house sot through the stirring per- formance of The Diary of Anne Frank, and watched tensely as Pauline Hahn portraye d the part of the courageous teen-age daughter who kept up the spirits of her family despite the fact that they lived in an attic for two years hiding from the German Nazis. For those who liked orchestral music or choral singing, there were the programs presented by Ted Heath and his orchestra and Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians. Waring ' s program featured the new wrap-around sound. Bambi Lynn and Rod Alexan- der with their Dance jubilee provided another full evening of entertainment by covering dances from early 1 900 to the present time. These were only some of the outstanding top per- formers and plays which were presented to Marshall College students. The Keith-Albee marquee lights up and Marshal! students file in to the words of Have your ID cord ond ticket ready, please to take their seats in the 1 800 seat theatre.
