CAMPU S Shown above is the old Administration Building, now officially referred to as the Main Academic Building. Many courses in business administration, languages, social sciences, agriculture, art, journal- ism, mathematics, and speech are taught here. It also houses many department and division offices and the Office of Student Publications. It was the first classroom building on the campus. Between the Main Academic Building and Nierman Hall is this archway, where students stop on numerous occa- sions to wait for classes. Jack Heacock and George Bogusch are doing that just now.
