-Roundhouse Cpen to All Students The Roundhouse Offers Fun, Friendship, and Competition Between 1:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m. the Roundhouse is probably the busiest build- ing on campus. It's the re- creation center at Jackson- ville State and attracts several hundred students daily. Each day students izome to the Roundhouse to socialize, waste time be- tween evening classes or perhaps release some of the :ension built up from a day Jf classes. The most popular source of recreation in the Round- mouse is pool fbilliardsl, but :he house also offers ping pong, video games, the luxu- ry of a wide screen television and numerous board games such as chess, checkers and Scrabble. Without a doubt the Roundhouse is one building the students do not dread going to. Recreation at J SU started in Hammond Hall. There it was more of a social gather- ing place but after moving to Montgomery Building in 1969 pool tables were added. In 1982 the recreation cen- ter moved to the Round- house. Mrs. Fisher is the Recrea- tion supervisor. She started working in recreation in Q 1980 as weekend supervisor. When the two prior supervi- sors retired and recreation was moved to the Round- house she became supervi- sor on weekdays. Mrs. Fisher enjoys her job and feels the students keep her feeling young. Each day differs from the othersg no two are alike and most days everything runs smoothly, she says. The students have fun and enjoy themselves, she adds, I enjoy the atmosphere in the Roundhouse. Students are always ready to help in any difficult situation. Besides E12 that I get remarkable stu- dent help from students who work the full four years here at the Roundhouse which makes my job so much easi- er. The Roundhouse is for everybody, and by offering a variety of spare time activi- ties everybody comes. The Roundhouse is the center of many campus ac- tivities such as the annual table tennis tournament. Here the students get an op- portunity to compete with each other and get to know each other better. The Roundhouse is a big plus to JSU.Jacob Lindeblad at 1' rt' MMM F- L l v E Campus Life: Roundhouse 27 l
