QUARTERS A MAINSTAY OF COLLEGE LIFE They always stick close to- gether, usually two or three of them in a group. One will offer you a cold beverage to quench your thirst; one will display its wide selection of prepackaged , sugar- sweetened yummies for you to munch on; and the third will promise you an insulated cup full of hot chocolate or coffee. All they ask in return are quarters. This is the mainstay of their diet. As long as you put enough quarters in their thin, slotlike mouths, vending machines will provide you enough high-calorie, quick-energy snacks to get you through your next class. Knowing where to find the vending machines, and the quarters to feed them, can make getting that snack a lot easier. Vending machines are located in the Commons Area of the Business Technology Building, the recreation room of Nelson Student Center, on the lower level of Ireland Hall, in the Industrial Technology student lounge and in the faculty lounge in Galle-Johnson Hall. Available on campus are 7-Up, RC Cola, Cherry RC Cola, grape and orange flavored Nehi, and diet drinks, powdered donuts, corn chips, tortilla chips, potato chips, chocolate bars, packages of gum and bite-sized candies. There are also hot chocolate, without the whipped cream, and coffee with all the accessories. Aside from the food varie ty vending machines, there are a number of other places students can drop quarters into machines. Cowley students literally go through hundreds of dollars daily in quarters for vending machines. Most students use the pool tables, pinball machines, pop machines or pay phones, in addition to the trips to the washing machines and dryers in the dorms or the laundromat off campus. Whether you like it or ' not, you can ' t avoid being affected by vending machines and their quarter requirements. Supplying students with the coins to operate the machines has become a concern for a number of people on campus. I always keep a cup of coins in my room, said Jackie Wilson, dorm supervisor. The kids usually can get them there. ' Dennis Mclntire, supervisor of the new dormitory, can als be contacted in case of a quarte shortage. Bob Juden, director student life, and Ruene Gagi bookstore manager, can als help students make loose chang out of their bills. The refreshment window i the Nelson Student Cente allows student to purchase so drinks, hamburgers, and th infamous quarters. If it ' s more convenient, a vis to the Business Office or th Admissions Office for chang can be made as long as thei supply holds out. They sa Mondays, Wednesdays an Fridays are the busiest days fo students seeking change. If all else fails, the best plac to get quarters, is at one of thi local banks just a block or si from campus. by Michael Carmody UJara Different We ' re Docis at Home National Bank.

PUS rmitory kelson Center md dormitory W.S.ScottAuditorium- Gymnasium Just a couple of weeks from now, cheers and yells will fill W. S. Scott Auditorium as the Lady Tigers open their 1987 volleyball season. From that time on, this building will be the focal point of Cowley athletic events. But Scott Auditorium will also house many other activities, such as dances, physical education classes, and special student productions. W. S. Scott Auditorium features the Tiger Booster Club Room, offices for the basketball coaches, and a fully equipped weight room. Galle-Johnson Hall The heart of CCCC is Galle-Johnson Hall. Everyone who attends Cowley visits to Galle-Johnson in order to register, consult counselors, or pay fees at the Business Office. The college president locates his office in G-J, along with the Financial Aid, Public Relations, and Atheletic Directors ' offices. However, most students know they should show up for class, and that makes Galle-Johnson Hall the place to be. The variety of classes meeting in this building ranges from Art Appreciation to Biology and Psychology. The instructors at CCCC keep regular hours in their office areas located throughout Galle-Johnson Hall, and the other campus buildings. Business Technology If the business courses are the reason you are at Cowley, then you will spend much of your time in the Business-Tech building. The accounting classes meet in Business Tech, along with the computer and office education classes. Galle-Johnson Hall is connected to the Business Tech building by the student lounge, a favorite student hangout. Nelson Student Center There is a new look this year at Nelson Student Center. The College Bookstore has moved from its previous basement location to a new, bigger facility on the main floor. The game room has also moved, and it is now in the former site of the dining hall. This has allowed more space for games and conversation areas. The new dining hall boasts a scenic view of part of the Cowley campus. A major part of Nelson Student Center is the dormitory. Housing is available for 80 students, and laundry facilities are located on the lower level of Nelson. Ireland Hall The Police Science and Cosmetology departments make their homes in Ireland Hall. Although Ireland Hall is one of the older buildings on campus, it is on the National Register of Historic Places, and its architecture is distinctive and unique to the Cowley campus. New Dormitory How new is the new dormitory? Well, if you have a good sense of smell, you might be able to detect a whiff of paint in the air. The New Dormitory opens its doors for the first time this fall, and many of the Cowley students are eager to be the first to occupy this facility. Housing is provided for 40 students in this building. The residents of the New Dorm have a television room on each of the second and third floors, and the resident manager has an apartment located on the ground level floor. The New Dormitory increases on-campus housing to over 120 ' student residents. by Mark Patrick Pulse

Instead of being buried underground on the lower level of the Nelson Dorm, the store occupies prime space on the first floor of the Nelson Student Center. Gage isn ' t the only one who sees the move as a positive change. The store is a great improvement over the old one, said Arlene Walker, clerk. There isn ' t the same feeling of claustrophobia and instead of hearing the toilets flush, there ' s piped-in Muzak. Being able to see light outside is so much nicer.
