Across Terrace Drive, parking lots and sidewalks, architectural elo- quence is embodied in the Business Administration Building with rose-col- ored panels, unique ultra-modern matchbox, hidden stairways and open glass offices. Sattertield, across Por- tage Drive, two connected rectangles form an L, leading on one side to parking and more parking, on another Summit Road and towards the middle of campus, Bowman Hall. Long rectangle, holds classrooms, offices, lecture halls, Bowman Hall, on whose middle campus side lies run- down and ragged, beautiful, aged and decrepit Stopher Hall. Unevenly matched with Lake-Olson and john- son, they form an odd quad. East of Lake-Olson, memorable Memorial Gym is a matchbox, also. A hill in the middle of campus, with trees, pagoda, metal sculptures sur- round Taylor Hall lights gleaming into the night, forever. Glass top, matchbox bottom, two types of beauty together in campus middle. Out the front doors, east across baseball fields and tennis courts, gravel parking lot and open field, Tri- Towers, cracked and peeling paint lend style to the landscape.

2 i -Q-. .---5 t i i l cold, science homes, shaped in- distinguishable from one another. Hovering over all, tallest, KSU li- brary - 12 stories of papers, period- icals, knowledgeable sources, book- shelves and their inhabitants acts as a beacon marking the incredible struc- ture of the Center of Students plaza. Awesome in its lines and curves, brick sidewalks and plastic gleaming lights dipping and revealing carefully placed stones forming Center of Stu- dents stone fountain . . . amazing. Next to parking lot, outside Center of Students, glass panels enclose ben- ches, information, bus routes and clock and support an awesome stone ledge hung over steps to buses, guard- ing students from rain, wind and cold. Structure, confusing, con- glomeration of wood, brick and glass is only made meaningful upon the presence of the life blood of KSU - its student faculty inhabitants. if Written by Gene Harhrecht, Photography.
