1 1. Vet Village is finally being razed. Built in 1944 to provide housing for married students during the war years, these apartments have been remodeled several times but compared to modern facilities, have be- come an eyesore on campus. Now that adequate housing is available, they are being removed. Music is where it's happening these days. Nearly every dorm room is equipped with a radio and more than likely, these radios are tuned in on SSC's own radio station. 2. KHIB, operated by student DJ's like Scot Bucklin has become a success on campus. Getting publicity for col- lege events has been a problem, which the station has helped. 3. Dr. Stout, from Oklahoma University, was guest speaker at a Phi Alpha Theta welcome banquet held by the history fraternity for new members. 2 3

2 1. Married students Mike and Candy Herron find that the percent- age of married couples attending college is rising. Because of this, a whole new lifestyle, both on and off campus, has developed. 2. Chorale members present Handel's Messiah as a part of SSC's Christmas activities. 3. President Hibbs has begun his 6th year at SSC and under his administration the college has become a flexible institution geared for growth. By listening to the students and get- ting their personal views, a more student oriented program exists. Not only is the Student Senate a governing body, but also a group that sponsors dances, films and numerous other activities through- out the year. 4. Senate President, Bill Sharp, leads a discussion of the homecoming functions of '74. They were responsible for co- ordinating the details of the Revue, parade, dance and all other ac- tivities relating to the entire Homecoming weekend. 4 3

3 1. 'Keep on Trucking' seems to be the motto of the students when doing their laundry. There is only one laundry right off campus, making it necessary for those without cars to carry their wash to and from their dorms. This is sometimes inconvenient and some feel the laundry facilities are inadequate for the size of Southeast- ern. 2. Dr. John Wright, the first bio-chemist at Southeastern, joined the faculty in 1973. He was introduced to the campus as a result of the Bio-Medical Research Program. 3. Opened to offer the students a change from the Coffeeshop hamburgers and cafeteria fare, the Sidewalk Cafe has enlarged the food service on campus which is under the management of the Saga Food Service. Furnished in a French-Creole Manner, it draws mostly the faculty and townspeople. Students eating in the cafeteria are encouraged to carry their trays to the sidewalk cafe in hopes that they will learn of its offerings. It is a good place to relax in peace and quiet, but also to obtain good food. 15
