Lakeside a daily stop ' ' for Chowanians Let ' s go shoot pool at the Student Center! , says freshman Julie Gault. While shooting pool is not an everyday pasttime for Julie and her classmates. Lakeside Student Center is one of the daily stops in the routine of every Chowan student. The campus post office, located in the center, is a bee-hive of activity during each class break as students check their mail boxes for that letter from home which may contain a check! Vending machines are also busy during the class breaks for those who slept a little too late to make breakfast, or those who want to grab a snack before the next class. Lakeside Student Center offers a variety of entertainment and recreational op- portunities. It not only has pool tables, but ping pong tables and a variety of video games. The former basketball court has been converted into a roller skating rink, which is used several times during the year for dances and other social events. While students spend many hours in recreation and fun. they also make good use of the television lounge and reading rooms. And, when it comes to the usual chores of college students, the center also provides washing machines and dryers for those who do their own laundry. For fun. recreation, a quick snack, or checking the mail boxes, the Lakeside Student Center is, indeed, a daily stop in the normal routine of all Chowan students. Student Center 21
