B BELLS Centenary ' bells are not exactly world-reknowned, but they are a nice addition to the college. They remind you that you ' re late to class though, and alot of neigh- boring houses complain about the noise, so now they only ring during the day. One sunny spring day when you ' re walking peacefully across campus, and the bells ring, reflect upon what a collegiate atmosphere they create. Too bad it is really only a tape. BOARD OF TRUSTEES The Board of Trustees functions as a protectorate for the school. Members make up a cross-section of the Shreveport Bossier community and surrounding areas. Chairman George D. Nelson heads the board in review- ing and implementing administrative, academic, and fi- nancial matters of the school. The Board members are generous and involved with the school, and the college appreciates their time and help. BOOKSTORE Nestled in the bottom of the SUB, the bookstore is the only place where you can buy your textbooks, but they usually run out before you get one, or it is midterm when your books arrives. Besides textbooks, the bookstore car- ries greeting cards, school supplies, magazines, and clothing with assorted Centenary emblems. It is the clos- est place to cash a check, but it costs you a dime. 4 • Guidebook

ATHLETICS Centenary ' s Athletic Department is quite an achieve- ment for such a small school. The program includes Varsi- ty Baseball, Soccer, Golf, Gymnastics, Men ' s and Wom- en ' s Basketball, Tennis, and Cross Country. The Golf team went to the NCAA Tournament in California last spring, and the Gymnastics team captured the championship in Division II for the fourth consecutive time. Every year the Ail-American Athletes are honored with a luncheon at- tended by students, faculty, and interested public. The student body is proud of the athletic department and our outstanding athletes. ATTITUDE Attitude is the major factor in adjustment to college life. College requires you to be carefree, responsible, interested, apathetic, obnoxious, well-behaved, aggres- sive, passive, conforming, and slightly insane. Whatever mixture of attitude you adopt determines what facet of college life you will enjoy most. The important aspect of all attitudes is flexibility. Centenary has achieved a bal- ance within the student body that allows a person to assume whatever attitude he chooses and have a terrif- ic four years. Guidebook • 3

BUSINESS OFFICE The business office is a source of unrelenting frustration for most students. Somehow they always manage to bill you for lab fees when you ' re not taking a science course, or parking tickets when you don ' t own a car. Our busi- ness office sends bills for one cent while hundred dollar checks are misplaced, and just to torment graduating seniors, a policy of checking with the business office for outstanding debts must be followed before you get your diploma. c CAF The caf is the social center for our campus — never mind the food. Aside from the socializing and the ice cream, the cafeteria offers little. The food lacks variety; insolent workers battle head-to-head with equally inso- lent students; and you never know when you ' ll have to eat off a paper plate with a plastic fork and knife. It is a place to eye members of the opposit e sex, scope out a date for the next big party, catch up on the latest gos- sip, and enjoy good company. Guidebook • 5
