Every college has qualities and attractions making it unique, and FSC is no exception. Probably the most unusual struc- ture on campus is Wallman Hall Circular in structure, it is accompa- nied by the technology wing, the newest addition to the campus. Hav- ing numerous entrances and exits make it the most confusing building on campus. A ver unusual architectural de- sign complements Hunt Haught Hall. It is connected to the rest of the campus by an aerial bridge, which is a popular gathering place for stu- dents. FSC also has its own historical museum, the one-room school locat- ed near the men ' s dorm.

rW hat counts is what ' s within Deciding to go to college is often a major step for many high school graduates. But even more important and requiring a larger amount of consideration is choosing where to go. FSC, with its more personal class- rooms, highly trained faculty and staff, top-ranked sports teams, well- supervised facilities and friendly West Virginia atmosphere, offers the individual student an opportuni- ty to grow academically in prepara- tion fo r a rewarding career, by mak- ing it clear that what counts is what ' s within. One of the major reasons FSC is such a qualified institution of higher learning is the fact that people make an effort to work together as a whole toward common goals. Administrators work diligently to make the college more applicable to today ' s ever changing society and its demands. Career challenges do not seem quite so intimidating when students find instructors willing to give the class their best, in order to inspire students to be their best.

Students help each other out in tight situations and learn better how to cope and manage their time more efficiently. As students near their senior year at Fairmont State, the schedules get tighter and the work load gets hea- vier, but within those brief years, students have come to realize that what really counts the most, is truly what ' s within. w GOING UP AGAINST top-ranked-foe Westleyan Bobcats, Kevin Beaford battles for the ball.
