Davis Student Union Building. This is a two- story brick-glass structure which houses the college cafe- teria, student lounge, director’s office, bookstore, post office, snack bar, forum room, billiard room, student activities office, alumni office, the Bailey Memorial Room, television room, board room, and an outdoor terrace for recreation, dancing, skating or just watching the moon and stars. Colorful motifs elaborately furnish the entire building. Comfortable seating is provided for students who wish to mingle socially or listen to the sounds of the inter-communi- cation, public address, and music system. The building serves as a community center for students, faculty and other family members and a visitors as well. It promotes social, recreational, educational and cultural op- portunities. Many feet trod across the threshold of the Student Union Building. For recreation we go to the game rooms, television, snack bar, and on the terrace for dining in the moonlight or to “look across the universe.” The student | cannot imagine A. M. N. without the union. Pool, Billiards and Cards are only a few of the games available to Student in the Union Building Mrs. Gwendolyn T. Blake Mrs. Odessa P.

Library The New John Brown Watson Memorial Library is mod- ern, adequate, comfortable, beautiful, and most of all func- tional. The students have found the new library differs from the old one in that it provides more adequate space, and it is more comfortable. The library is an excellent place for study. The new library seeks to become the heart of the in- tellectual life at A. M. N. College. The building seats ap- proximately 550 readers and the shelving capacity is rough- ly around 109,000 volumes. The beautiful auditorium or multi-purpose room seats 175 people. The new library provides a variety of uses for the stu- dents such as, consulting general reference tools, working alone at a private desk or carrel, typing without disturbing others, talking over one’s library problems with fellow students or faculty members, smoking, listening to records, browsing among books, reading a current magazine, in a comfortable lounge-type chair, or examining exhibits de- signed to stimulate the curious, or to exploit library re- sources. Mrs. J. P. Howard, Head Librarian and her staff of well trained librarians and student assistants provide court- eous and efficient service to the students. mn ‘e 4 Mrs. E. K. Collins Mrs. Vetory M.
