PAGE 6 THE 19S0 AGAWASIE Campus Hub... There’s a .standard procedure for locating: any student on campus. First you go to a low white build ing directly across the campus oval from Burch Hall and if. by some unusual coincidence, he or she doesn't happen to be there you check with the people that are there. This routine is a Rood example of the logic with which the building was named the Campus-Hub. Among the many facilities of the most popular buildinR on the campus are its snack bar: the school supply store; recreation rooms with facilities for parties, club meetings and other functions: a music room used for band and vocal group practice sessions and weekly broadcasts, and such miscellaneous facilities as the campus post office. .1 took of iccIconic is one of -Gillie out standing features of the Cam pus Hub. Its loic. tcllile exterior presents a contrast to the other campus buildings. fluilt originally as a sick ban for the Surat Training I nit on campus iturinp World War II. its conversion to a student union brought an immediate role of approval from students. The use of this buildiny is just ichat the name implies—its the hub of school activities. Itesides the serving of delic- A ions lunches, the beautifully dec- ” orated lunch room provides a place irhere students and faculty members may relax irith their friends for a snack during break periods and after school.

THE 1950 AGAWASIE PAGE 5 Winter Is A Season Of Beauty At SSS To a North Dakotan winter is more or-less taken for granted, but to visitors from warmer climates the Dakota winter is a subject of fascination. Does it actually get 10 below?” Do snow banks get as high as houses? How do you stand those blizzards ? and similar questions are common. But to anyone who has been away from the Dakotas for a few winters, the season of the snow is more than just a few months of bad weather. The camera frequently brings this point forceably home to us. Since most of the photography for the Agnunxir is. of necessity, a winter project, snow scenes fill the files. Here are a group of them, selected at random, that proves the point that the campus has a distinctive beauty in the winter as well as during the “green months. In the first picture to the right is the Red River of the North under a blanket of snow. The famed Red wends its way northward just a couple of blocks cast of the campus — providing a natural boundary line between North Dakota and Minnesota. Along the Red is Wahpetons modern Chahinkapa park, providing recreation facilities of all types. During winter months, students make use of its large skating rinks. Its baseball stadium is home to the Wildcats diamond teams: its picnic grounds are popular with student groups, with the added color of the zoo. rock garden and miscellaneous recreation facilities. During other seasons the swimming pool, the football stadium, softball diamonds, tennis courts, band concerts and other facilities are popular with students. Campus golfers cast an anxious eye on the new links nearing completion. The Science gymnasium (second picture) is located on the right upon entering the campus. Two stories high, it serves the dual purpose of athletic court and auditorium. Above the basketball lloor is a cork-faced running track which is used for conditioning athletes and for indoor exercise. The first lloor of the building provides showers and other accommodations for both men and women and has a general recreation room. A new field house, to be built this summer, will bring many changes to the gymnasium, including the conversion of its basketball court into a permanent auditorium. Picture number three demonstrates how the towers of Old Main command the countryside. The perennial evergreen stands out significantly on the snow-covered ground in a typical North Dakota winter scene. Moving closer to the school we meet the campus trailer camp face-to-face. Married students and their families find permanent living quarters in the trailer camp at the east end of the campus. The camp also has facilities for students who wish to move their own trailers onto the campus.

THE 1950 AGAWASIE PAGE 7 ...Center of Recreational Activities at Science The school sup ply store, our of the Huh’s many features, is an important part of school operations. Here students may Ituy most of their necessities from school supplies to llenny’s little side line, monoyramed shirts. In the picture at the right. Ifenny is putting forth his best sales talk to Her file aid. Dorothy Schneder and Aeis ftovfl. Aamiring Henny's sales technique is assistant Hub manager ICIeanor llurgett. The facilities of the Hub and the school supply store are operated jn a self-supporting, non-profit basis. The price of books and. supplies are kept as near to actual cost as possible and any profits are used for improvements in Huh facilities. One unusual feature of the school supply store is the large number of tools it handles for use in the various trades departments. The Wildcat room of the Hub a has many functions. During the day its tables are alternately used for eating and recreation and in the evening the room becomes a meeting place for many campus organisations. Typical of its evening function is a meeting of the Student Wires Club. The He peat room is. Miss Schulz’s pride and joy. This room is designed to provide a guiet an:! convenient place ichere vocal groups and the band may hold practice sessions. The broadcast club also uses the He peat room for their weekly Wahpetou Science On The Air” broadcasts over KHMW. In the picture at the tower right the band gives out with some fast notes during one of the weekly broadcasts. Lawrence Yeilenheimer gives out with a look of satisfaction as he illustrates one of the reasons why the Campus Hub is the Campus •W- hub.
