Along the beaten path By Dana Dodd For the students, faculty, and administra- tion, there are places on the ATU campus that are visited almost daily. A beaten path is formed. After registration and classification, one of the first places students go is the Student Center to relax and take a quick break be- fore resuming the grinding schedule of be- ginning yet another semester of classes. The next stop is the ATU Post Office, located directly outside the W. O. Young Student Center recreation area. Here, on campus students receive mail and send let- ters. Located just off the Post Office is the A.T.U. Bookstore which provides text- books and various other supplies needed by Tech students and faculty. When information and a study place is needed the Tomlinson Library provides a quiet atmosphere and a helpful staff for A.T.U. students and the surrounding community. The Student Health Center located be- hind Bryan Hall, is staffed by Nurse Janette Wilson who is there to help everyone on the Arkansas Tech campus. When hunger strikes Tech, the majority of students go to Chambers Cafeteria for most of their meals. Another stopping place for over half of the enrolled A.T.U. students is the Finan- cial Aid Office, located in the Student Cen- ter. Here, these students receive the finan- cial aid they need. The last stop on the beaten path is the Student Development Center, located in Suite 124 of the Crabaugh Building. The Center provides services that help students decide on an area of study and on career placement after graduation. Throughout the next fifteen pages is an individual focus on the above mentioned places that form the beaten path.

. Student Center The W. O. Young Student Center is, for most Arkansas loch students, the center of college life. It serves as the social hub of the campus, a place to get mail and need- ed supplies, and a place to eat or relax Centrally located directly across from Chambers Cafeteria and right behind the Administration Building, the Student Center is within walking distance from anywhere on campus. The Center houses several depart ments that are important facets to the students of Tech. These areas include: a recreation center which provides pinball machines and pool tables; a snack bar and grill; a trophy case; a ballroom; the A.T.U. Post Office and Bookstore; and the Finan- cial Aid Office. The VV. O. Young Student Center serves the Tech community by opening the doors of the ballroom to the public for any approved activities. In the past, the Stu- dent Center Ballroom has been used for blood drives, dances, plays, concerts, public speeches and meetings, several Parent ' s Day displays, the Phi Mu Carni- val, and a host of other events and ac- tivities. Several changes to the Student Center are in the process of being established. A 6V2 foot television, along with new Center hours to accommodate the use of the T. V. are just two of the many changes being considered. Steve Lawrence, Program Coordinator, performs the job of keeping the Center in smooth working order. Centrally located, the W O Young Student Center serves as the social hub of the campus.
