But it was changing While We eveled. We were beating Penn State and at rhe touchdown the Alpha Tau Omega :annon Went off as it had countless :imes in the past thirty-eight years. But something went wrong. The powder xox exploded in a puff of gray smoke njuring five students and singing its Jwn swan song. The gun was silenced forever.

What's a field house? we wondered as we heard the figures: 300 feet in diameter, 65 feet high. We couldn't visualize a building big enough to play a football game in. The opening date would be August, 1960. The School of Journalism thrilled to its proposed new home, the first build- ing in the Newhouse Communications Center complex.

A temporary but colorful addition to the campus brightened our lives: a board fence around a hole on the Quad that was to become I-IBC. It was a natural for a pail of paint and its irrev- erent sallies cheered many a cold morn- ing on the way to an eight o'clock.
