4- Century 21 houses apartments, business offices, a restaurant, and the Hilton Hotel, besides being an interesting landmark. 1 1' The Assembly Hall. offers the world of sports, concert music, drama, and dance to Champaign-Urbana. I More and more apartment buildings are being built in Champaign, as shown by this condominium on Park and Elm. Concrete and Cornfields was chosen as the theme for the 1974 Maroon because those words typified the Midwest, central Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, and Champaign Cen- tral High School in particular. Champaign County has the richest soil in the entire world. The corn, wheat, soybeans, and livestock raised in this area help feed the world. This section of the Midwest, however, is not strictly rural. With Chicago, St. Louis, and Indianapolis only two hours away, itis very easy to see a show, go to Six Flags over Mid-America, or just spend the day in a bigger city. Cham- Bana, as the Twin Cities are commonly called, is also the home of the University of Illinois campus. With the mushroom-shaped Assembly Hall, the 21 storied rust- colored Century 21, and several modern classroom, dorm and apartment buildings, Champaign and Urbana have their share of mod architecture. Some of the problems for the students of Central in- volve finding which niche they fit into, which may entail going against their parents! or friends' beliefs. They have to decide for themselves, however, because they have to live the life thatis chosen. Either way they choose, it will further the struggle between concrete and cornfields.
