Husky ----------- Union Building The HUB of student activity nr he Husky Union Building, better known as the HUB. is a principal • center of activity and it provides facilities and services for everyone's convenience on campus. In front of the HUB’S main doors is the Information Lost and Found desk. Students who worked at the desk, like Matthew Leggett, can answer almost any question about the HUB or the campus. A lot of different information is given out, but most are standard. Said Leggett, At the beginning of each quarter, the most prevalent question is where can the GSL checks be picked up? A variety of shops are located in the HUB. the biggest one being a branch of the University Bookstore. Browsing around, various gifts, class supplies, greeting cards and toiletries can be found. Across from the Bookstore is the Bike Shop. It caters only to the UW community and is less expensive for repairs than off-campus services. In the subbasement is the the ASUW Poster Shop. It too is less expensive than off-campus businesses in making posters, silkscreens, and advertising layouts. They also have a resume typing service for those who want to make sure they present a quality resume to future employers. A unique shop in the HUB is the Scissors’ Edge, a style salon. On a daily basis, according to hairstylist Jane Julison, they serve 50 to 70 patrons a day, of which half are students and half are staff. Located throughout the HUB are organization offices. The most influential organization on campus, the Associated Students, University of Washington (ASUW) is housed on the second floor. Here, elected student officials make major decisions that affect the UW student body. Another organization housed in the HUB is Experimental College. Here students can look into non-credit classes ranging from HAIR STYLIST JANE JULISON of the Scissors' Edge skillfully trims a patron's hair. auto-mechanics to lovemaking. Down in the sub-basement are various student organizations that apply for their office space on an annual basis. The Filipino Student Association and the UW Yacht Club are just’ two of these organizations. Students take advantage of the services offered in the HUB. One such service is the ASUW Publishing, where students can buy lecture notes for certain courses and not worry about missing something important the prof said the mornings they slept in. By ASUW Publishing is a branch of People’s Bank, which offers full banking services, and an Exchange machine for quick cash. Other services include a postal center, a newsstand candy counter where a candy bar can be bought for quick energy between classes and a ride board for those going on a trip and hoping someone will sign up to go with them and chip in on gas. The Husky Den, a major food service, offers complete meal service with a menu that includes sandwiches, burgers, hot entrees, salads and a variety of snacks. The TV Room is a popular hang out for students who have to keep up with their favorite soap operas. Another hang-out is the games area. Students can go there for a break away from studying and shoot pool, bowl, waste a few quarters on video games or relax with other available games. Because the HUB offers so many services and facilities, it truly is a major center of student activity. As freshman Craig Clayton appropriately said, The HUB is great. It has so much under one roof.” By Lisa Matsumura

To Study or Not to Study The question is: What else goes on in the library? 'T'he library: a place for researching, reading and studying the three R's. These were always the academic reasons for going to the library, but then, there are the three S’s: socializing, scamming and sleeping. Anyone who’s taken a social science class learned that humans are social animals. And although it was not its original intent, the library has been a popular haven for the UW social animals. In Odegaard Undergraduate Library, also known as OUGL, monitors make sure students keep the noise down and that the socializing doesn’t disturb others in the library. Frank Seabeck. a monitor for five years, doesn’t mind the socializing, saying. It would be difficult to keep the students from doing it. so I just tell them there’s a lot of competition on this campus and you ought to be studying fiercely. That usually quiets them down.” During Seabeck’s five years of monitoring, he has dealt with interesting situations. Once he threw out a group of young men who brought roosters into the library. Another time he came upon a lottery game with approximately $150 on the table. Seabeck told the participants to take it outside. Several times he found papers pasted over the study room windows and remarked, You never know what goes on behind closed doors. Along with socializing, the library is a favorite place to scam on people. A popular activity among students, scamming is the practice of checking out members of the opposite sex. Students had discovered long ago that the library was a convenient place to scam with the benefits of not being obvious. Friends of Yumi Nakamura found their convenient spot. My friends always want to go to the second floor of Odegaard because of all the cute guys up there. Sleeping students have always been a familiar library scene, especially in OUGL. Between classes, it provided students with comfortable chairs on which to catch a few Z’s, but according to Seabeck, students aren't the only ones using the library for napping. I see a lot of staff members come in just to catch up on their sleep. Somewhere through the years socializing, scamming and sleeping became part of the library scene. More than likely, more imaginative things have already happened or will happen in the library. By Usa Matsumura Kevin M. Lohman photos 24 library FORGET ECON.
