Where We Live Student-Alumni Gymnasium ONE OF THE MOST impressive things about Elizabethtown College is its beautiful 65 acre campus. Dotting this campus which takes on a new face every season are the various buildings. Alpha Hall, the administrative center of the campus, serves a wide variety of needs. The sec- ond and third floors provided living facilities for 40 women this year. Bongo drums, an epidemic of broken windows, and the death of a stowaway hamster, Howie, provided excitement for the residents. A men ' s day student lounge, class and practice rooms, faculty offices, college store, and women ' s dormitory: all these are contained in Memorial Hall. The fourteen girls living in the third floor crow ' s nest had quite a time the day they trapped some janitors in a room. Luckily the janitors have a good sense of humor. Last summer Fairview Hall had a face-lifting inside with new furniture and freshly-painted walls, in preparation for 54 coeds. The Fairview girls didn ' t let their studies interfere with their college education. Surprisingly enough, they did get some studying done despite the lights fre- quently going out and the noise of the wrestlers in their new basement room. The remainder of the 132 women resident stu- dents lived in the New Women ' s Residence. This winter the girls were bothered by unwanted visi- tors: mice. These mice made quite a racket running in the registers. The men ' s dormitories were centers of much activity: intellectual and otherwise. The men from the barracks, which houses North, South, and Center Halls, may not have lived like kings, but they certainly enjoyed themselves. Center Hall boasted of having its own radio station, while North Hall was mighty proud of its un- defeated, untied, and unscored-upon intramural football team. On the northwestern corner of the campus is West Hall, a residence for 20 men this year. Unfortunately for these men, around Halloween someone perfumed their clothes. Who would do a thing like that? One of the two new men ' s residence this year w.as Cedar Hall. The ten men who lived there had a very unusual pet, a female cat, Mike. The other off -campus men ' s residence, the Fraternity, alias Club 16, was a hub of happenings. The 16 men, boasting five first-string soccer players, four baseball players, and one wrestler, enjoyed shaving cream battles and ' ere irritated by bathroom singers at 2:00 A.M. In the library it became everyday occurrence to see freshmen heads peering over stacks of books. While in the freshmen chemistry lab, they slaughtered the science. In the Gymnasium one may easily find an athlete and an actress battling for the stage. At the same time in the Business building one may hear Guten Tag or Bon Matin with the same accent. All these with an undertone of type- writer keys. Thus at E-town one will find a building for everyone ' s needs, whether one desires to catch mice, disect mice or act like them.
