Before Guess what underwent the largest facelift in the world during the Summer of 1978? Oh no, you guessed it! That ' s right, Mercer ' s Snack Bar (or Co-op) did, and no sooner than necessary. Until then, it was a common occurence to go in and sit down on one of the old booths and wind up ker-plop on the floor, or try to study with hands over ears due to the loud juke-box. But thanks to the Student Life Committee of SUAB headed by Carol Pike, headway was made in January of ' 78. Students were surveyed as to what changes they would like to see in the Co-op and all these ideas were com- piled and put into construction in July of ' 78. The new Snack Bar includes such things as a balcony, new wooden booths and brightly colored chairs, carpeting, graphic designs by student Molly Wil- son, a game room, and a Salad and Deli Bar. The place has become more of a gathering place than ever and the site for many special events. Mercer now has something to be proud of for years to come. Mercer, you ' ve done good!

Student Development Office To help every student attain his her full p ' tential in life is the purpose of the desigm Student Development Office under the direction of Mr. Barry Jenkins. The Office begins work- ing with students as freshmen by doing individ- ual personality testing and counseling according to the needs. It continues by working with each student all four years, while at Mercer, by help- ing develop career goals, and by setting up a placement file on each. This is intended to aid in obtaining jobs after graduation. A Career Day was sponsored by this Office in March where 100 different interviews were conducted by 18 different employers. This long-needed service is well underway now at Mercer, and according to Mr. Jenkins, there is a bright hope for its be- coming invaluable to students in the future. SERVICES ' T??-- -Ti Yea for the rec! Not the Ramblin ' Wreck from Ga. Tech; Clyde, but the Rec Room at Mercer. This year the Art Gallery was converted into a much-needed Recreation Room. The Rec Room includes 4 pool tables, ping pong tables, pinball machines, foosball table, and even a popcorn machine. For a nominal fee, one can enjoy as much fun as one can find in a Rec Room. In fact, the place has become quite a hang-out for some students. All Wrecks unite and cheer for the Rec Room . . . Recreation Room 21
