Tuesday . . . freshman convo fills the auditorium . . . tardy students race through Ad halls . . . The Administration building, built in 1922, was the first permanent structure erected on the Evansville College cam- pus. Now this senior member graciously presides over the more recent additions. Its halls are busy, for it houses such important departments as Public Rela- tions and the Center for Advanced Study. Here the President, the deans, the registrar, the business manager and some of the professors, also, have their offices. In the Ad building, a student may buy books, register for Evening College and — of course — study, for there are classrooms, too. Here he attends the weekly convocations in the auditorium and views plays presented by the stu- dent drama group. WEVC, the FM radio station, broad- casts from the third floor of the tall building. On the same floor is the audio- visual lab, and at the summit — fourth floor — are the food and textile labs. li 1

McCurdy Alumni Memorial Union We start the week right . . . coffee at the Union . . . ten a. m. meetings may interfere . . . Everyone, be he bookworm or busy- body, goes over to the Union at least once during the day. Perhaps he goes to eat, perhaps to attend a meeting or maybe just to lounge. Since 1951, the three stories of the McCurdy Alumni Memorial Union have housed the color and excitement of the College ' s social life. Most students have certain favorite spots in the Union. TV fans and ping- pong addicts hasten to the ground floor where they may pursue their sports in the informal lounge and the game room, respectively. Here, the Wooden Indian snack bar and grill broadcasts music and chatter. The first floor sets a more formal note with its cafeteria, formal lounge and the Great Hall, where recitals, lectures and concerts are held. Everything from art to atoms may be seen in the exhibits often displayed on this floor. Students find quiet hours and pleasant listening in the browsing and music rooms. Have a club meeting? Belong to a Greek organization? On a committee? Then it ' s up to second floor to the club- room or one of the numerous committee rooms. Nor does Union activity stop when the sun goes down. Dances, formal and in- formal, dinners and parties keep lights burning late. In fact, socially speaking, whatever the time, whatever the event, the Un- ion building ' s the place.

The business department — and it certainly lives up to its name! One of the largest departments at Evansville College, it hums with activity as executives-to-be tackle problems of high finance; meanwhile, their future secre- taries literally prepare to take dictation. One of every four students that you meet on the campus is a business major. Collegians find adventure in — of all places — the English department. The excitement of being in a play, putting out a newspaper and taking part in speech contests and debates explains why English courses are definitely not limited to bookworms or themes. Classes are habit forming . . . they come Watch your serve! . . . Batter up! . . . Swing your partner! No need to ask the name of this department. Six hours of physical education are a must for gradua- tion, and with courses such as tennis, Softball and square dancing on the list, the requirement is no hardship. Theory and technique courses are provided here for future teachers and coaches. Whether he ' s in secondary or elementary education, an ed major is easily recognized. He ' s the one flying around to get his practice teaching in, grading all those tests and writing up that report. The purpose behind all this activity is to earn one of the five education de- grees offered by the College.
