Reading data on a newly installed IBM machine in the IBM Center are Keith Faulkner, who teaches IBM courses, and two of his students. Sheridan Coliseum, whose needs have long since outgrown its facilities, remains a landmark and is probably the best known building on the campus.

Students in Rarick Hall Concerned With Children Rarick Hall serves children. Most of the students Center, which is available to children and youth of Western Kansas, Rarick Hall, built in 1912 as an agricultural build- ing, was later called the Industrial Building, hi 1954 it was remodeled to house the division of education and psychology. who study here are directly concerned with youth. In its classrooms future teachers, psychologists and phi- losophers learn methods and skills adaptable to the practice of their profession. Whether mastering the transfer of thought in teaching or understanding the process of thought in psychology, students in these fields are expected to keep apace. FHS constantly surveys its teacher education pro- gram and steadily steps up requirements for accept- ance in the field. Current progress has increased de- mands on the students (from aspirant kindergarten teachers to speech correctionists) and the quality and type of their preparation. Psychologists serve children too, for Rarick Hall houses the Psychological Sendee Psychology researchers Bill Alboti and Clara Fan shier lest a subject on a memeograph, a machine which measures the capacity of the memory.

Coliseum Houses Varied Offices, Services, Classes Sheridan Coliseum, home of the Tiger teams, is the most versatile, all-purpose building on the campus. It houses a gymnasium, executive and administrative offices, divisions of music and health, physical educa- tion and recreation, a radio station and the student health center. Music floats (and blares) from the third and fourth floors; KFHS transmits programs to campus build- ings and, in the studios on the second floor, special and regular radio and television presentations are bom. Emergency care, health counseling and dispen- sary treatment bring every student to the health center at some time or other. The women ' s gym, arena and the swimming pool are in almost constant use for sports events and physical education classes. Between times, there are assemblies, shows, professional entertainers and performers pre- sented in the Artists and Lecture Series, conventions and other events which strain the facilities of the building, long conceded to be outgrown and inadequate. Built in 1917, the Coliseum was believed to be a monstrosity which could never be filled. The fallacy in this belief was proved long ago. College nurses Mrs. Frances Cook and Mrs. Inez Baxter give a student a flu immunization shot. Tigers meet their opponents in the arena, where they have compiled few losses and many victories. To those who have been de- feated here, the Tiger home court is known as the “Snake Pit.” 19
