The library is a place for people to sec each other. The crowded conditions (100 seats for some 1000 students) and the lack of a student lounge on this campus force available space to be multi-purpose. Mrs. Dewey. Librarian There's no place else to go.

Don’t look now but.. but in ten or so years you’ll be looking for this page to see how you should be doing. You will notice your fast rate of breathing after climbing two flights of stairs. You’ll check your pulse after a night out bowling. You’ll wish you were back in college again-young, full of energy... and not fat. And you’ll wish you had a P.E. teacher to remind you that you are not a brain without a body. There is some connotation to being a P.E. major. We've all had P.E. teachers in high school who were kind of masculine. Miss Brov nlee’s working hard to break that image. She really feels that at all times we can be feminine. The guys that are P.E. majors don't look down on a girl P.E. major, but some of the guys once in a while make comments about lady jocks”, and it bothers me. because I don't like to be considered masculine because I'm a P.E. major.
