Students may have attended classes in Academic or the Grauel Language Arts Building without noticing some of the oldest, most traditional aspects of campus such as the sculptures of the Gerber Statutary Collec- tion. These white plaster of paris replicas of Homer, Demosthenes, and the Parthenon, to name only a few, date back uithe 1904 VVorhTs Faux'They had been donated to the university by Louis Houck, a member of the Board of Regents from 1886 to 1925. Even the buildings themselves that housed these sculptures dated back to the early 1900's such as the Serena ln- dustrial Arts Building, one of the first four buildings to be a part of the campus. The fate of another older feature of campus was also under consideration by university officials this year. With construction completed on the new Univer- sity Center, SEMO's old student union, Memorial Hall, was left a ghost building of empty dining halls, meeting rooms, and bookstore shelves. Upon comple- tion of the center, Memorial was being considered for classroom use, as an exhibition hall for university art collections, for administrative offices, and as a food storage area.

The university and the city of Cape Girardeau both became bicentennial com- munities and saw revolutionary battles staged by the Cape Iaycees, visits from historical boats such as the Delta Queen, and special decorations for the 200th year birthday party such as fire hydrants and parade floats.
