This left only small North Hall to provide cam- pus housing for men. This year, at last, the situ- ation was remedied by the completion of a new men ' s dormitory. However, Senior women found themselves room hunting in downtown Bloomsburg in order to make room for the ever-growing Waller Hall population. Four years ago, too. the cafeteria was located on the very same spot that now houses our modern library.

In fact, coffee breaks, pinochle, and end-of-the-semester book lines were practically traditions. Tr affic in Science Hall moved two ways four years ago, but larger classes soon made one-way traffic the only sure way of being able to enter and leave the building. This year, we enjoyed the use of a new science building with modern equip- ment. This new building is located next to Cen- tennial Gymnasium, overlooking the beautiful Sus- quehanna Valley. i.Xr V:A A
