Hanging Loose On Campus On any relatively mild day, a quick tour of Glassboro State College would show students re- laxing in the sunshine all over campus. It was almost as if the rise in temperature caused a proportionate increse in the earth ' s gravity, pull- ing students to the ground for studying, napping, socializing or suntanning. It is never hard to find an appropriate spot to sit back for awhile be- tween or after classes. Most students had some personal preferences, but favorite locations were the circular bench- es in front of the Stu- dent Center, the court- yard opposite Savitz Library, any wall or staircase that provided adequate back support (or, for that matter, any stationary horizontal plane), and, of course, beautiful Bunce lawn, immortalized by Under- graduate catalogues and Admissions application booklets. These photos show some of our finest exam- ples of students practic- ing the art of hanging loose . Even the floor of Evergreen Hall lobby will do as a desk.

This section of the yearbook is dedicated to all of the students who attend Glassboro State College. In the course of a hectic, fast paced, non-stop life here at Glassboro, some stu- dents might be missing out on the little details and interesting trivia that surround this col- lege. So prepare your- self for these mind-bog- gling, truly fascinating pieces of trivia, and maybe, just maybe someday they will ap- pear on Jeopardy. HELLS BELLS?? Are there really bells in the bell tower atop the Edgar F. Bunce Hall? One might believe that the bell tower is just a worn out, over- used, advertising prop that appears on just about every pamplet and brochure printed for this school. Howev- er, there are actual me- chanical bells inside the tower. These bells were donated by Glassboro ' s Alumni Association and joyously ring out each May to start the gradua- tion ceremony. Everything You Always Glassboro State College . . . YOUR DOOR IS AJAR! I, like most students, have an occasional class in the very much run- down Bunce Hall. When walking up the steps to enter Bunce, I immediately notice this very strange and rusty metal bar. This bar is sometimes holding the door open, however most of the time it just lies there leaving fos- sil-like impressions of rust onto the cement. As I walk into the building, I see more of these bars holding the doors open inside. I thought it was strange to have these weird metallic pieces of material serving as door stops, so I investigated. The conclusion reached from my investigation revealed that these met- al bars are called arbors and are used in the Wil- son and Tohill The- f = § 10
