Chosen by their fel- low students, Debbie Olsen and Charlie Alvarez were crowned by the former Princess, Teresa Snow and former Chief, John Medina to be the new reigning Chief and Princess.

Upg RAde A -Leah Harkey pproximately seven years ago there be- came a growing aware- ness that the size of the stu- dent help and entertainment services were lacking in relation to the rapid growth of the campus. In response to the university ' s need to ex- pand, a committee of stu- dents, faculty, and staff were appointed to re- search and explore a plan for renovation and recon- struction. The committee went on a search for the perfect solution as they set out to explore campuses of comparable size. After closely examining the oth- er colleges, the committee pulled together oil of their ideas and proposed the plans to the state legisla- ture. It was through the capital importance fund that the legislature was able to grant a promise for 1,2,3, Bowll Crenshaw Lanes is not only a place for practicing for perfection, but also for entertain- ment and fun, A Time to Admire. Ttie flea mar- ket on Wednesdays is always a big hit. Many students spend their passing time between classes to stop and admire the local mer- chants. a new and expanded un- ion. When the fall semester come rolling around, stu- dents were invited to take a port in the new and en- larged student facilities. The Club Down Under, Crenshaw Lanes, Video Ar- cade, Arts and Crafts, and the bookstore became a significant port of the first week of festivities. The bookstore, a common scene for most students during the first week of classes, had been relocat- ed in a larger area and of- fered an obudance of Seminole spirit items, cloth- ing, school supplies, and backpacks. It also provid- ed an upstairs of wall to wall textbooks and chaos. Although the bookstore was unorganized and hec- tic during the first week, it has shown a vast improve- ment and overall enlarge- ment in it ' s facilities and student aid. But that ' s not all that the new union had to offer. Student Campus Entertainment scheduled upcoming concerts and comedians in The Club Down Under to liven ' up the atmosphere which hod been recently moved from below the ballroom to the area beside the bookstore. Another inexpensive source of fun can be found at the Crenshaw Lanes. With the new addition of the Video Arcade, Cren- shaw had become a pop- ular place to bowl, play pool, and play video games. The Arts and Crafts center is also sponsored by Student Campus Entertain- ment and allows students to escape from the ordi- nary campus activities. There was an immense par- ticipation in both tie-dying and ceramics. Every activ- ity had it ' s own way of in- volving different students. In the proposal for the new union, there was an awareness for more stu- dent services. Before the renovation, the union had as few as four conference rooms to offer for students, organizations, and meet- ings. The union ' s expanded size has allowed it a total of eighteen conference rooms, a ballroom, a com- puter center and a T.V. center. All rooms were open for students by either reservations or on a first come first serve basis. With all of the additional rooms, students and organizations could be assured extra meeting space and more centers geared toward their needs. Opening with a fresh new look, exciting enter- tainment, and improved student services, the new union was definitely an as- set to student life. The plans set several years ago have proved to be a sue- I cess in replenishing and renovating the campus ' need for more student fa- cilities. I 14 STUDENT LIFE Lorenzo WItchard
