enfemziai 1 1867 ' 1967 Over 2,300 Northeast Missouri State College students made use of on-campus housing facilities during the past school year. Living and dining facili- ties were provided for students in nine dormitories and the Home Management House. An astounding total of over 1,750,000 meals were served by the College food service. Male students are housed in Dobson and Mis- souri Halls and the Bulldog Kennels. Coeds occu- pied suites in Ryle, Blanton, Brewer, Nason and Grim Halls. The Adair House began an experi- mental dormitory for senior women designed to give the student more individual control and free- dom in dormitory living. The Home Management House was lived in by approximately twelve coeds who were majoring in home economics. Living in the house for one quarter gave the students practical experience in various aspects of housekeeping including finances, marketing and house upkeep. Each student had an opportunity to provide and exercise the leadership of the Home Management House. More dormitory facilities will become avail- able in the fall of 1968 when the 552,935,000 Cen- tennial Hall for women is completed. Facilities in- cluding dining and living quarters will provide a College home for approximately 680. Centennial Hall was named in honor of the Centennial year celebrated by the College during 1967.

'MA 4- 1 Ili ,' . 3 ff, , .., N X , 'xxx -A Bordering the south edge of the main campus is the Industrial Arts building which is occupied by the division of Practical Arts and the facilities for the college publicity photographer. The unusually long building contains shops and equipment for metal working, plastics, bench working, driver's training apparatus and other equipment necessary for training teachers in the field of practical arts. The Practical Arts division received word this past year of allocation of funds for the construction of an ultra-modern Industrial Arts building to be tentatively scheduled for construction west of the Pershing Building. Science Hall students were actively engaged in experimental projects ranging from chemical reac- tions to the study of bacteria and their environment as part of their training in the field of science. Several members of the science faculty carried on experiments for the city of Kirksville and Adair County to provide information on the sewer filtra- tion and bacteria deposits. Students making use of the building ranged from general science students to pre-osteopathic and pre-medical students. The division of Science is anxiously awaiting the completion of the south wing to the Science Hall. The addition is designed to serve as a labora- tory building, to provide additional office, research, and classroom space for physics, chemistry, biology, botany and Zoology.
