■ I The first big change in our campus came with the building of our new library. At first we were shocked by its radically different architectural form. However, we now realize the change from solid brick to lace-like solar screen served only as a herald for the many transitions which have followed. The next new building to appear on campus was the new Fine Arts. This also seemed strange to us at first because the rooms have no connecting hallways. Each classroom opens onto an outside ramp. Within, art studios, music rooms, and language classes are housed.

The Old Fine Arts building is a subtle reminder of how a community college is born. The flagpole on top and the broken coat hooks in the hallways constantly betray the fact that it was once an elementary school. Since becoming a part of the college, it has housed everything from art to mathematics. ! Because the creation of a college requires a large amount of money, several temporary structures were erected to suffice until funds could be appropriated for permanent buildings. The only one of these anomalies which remains in use is the Business Administration Building. The grey weather boarding of the exterior and the creaking stairways have long been accepted by our students of business.
