Yes, we have some temporary buildings at Evansville College, and the Office building is a good place to begin a tour. That student rushing through the halls may be a reporter turning in his newsbeat, for The Crescent has its home beneath this roof. Here, too, are the Reading Clinic and the Health Cen- ter. Many professors have offices here, and the busiest time is during registration. Right behind the Office building is the Fine Arts building. College worship services are held in Medita- tion Chapel, located in the south wing of this structure. Collegiate artists paint and sketch in the art studios of the north wing, while others project in the centrally placed theatre workshop. Across campus is the Annex where we find the Post Office and Supply Room. AFROTC classrooms and of- fices are housed here, too. Follow the sound of music and we come to the Music building, where music majors have a choice of thirteen practice studios. The Women ' s Gym and the Athletic building shelter physical ed classes and all kinds of sports equipment. These, then, are the College ' s temporary buildings. Someday they must go, and modern, permanent struc- tures will rise in their places. The College will feel a bit sorry to see the temporary buildings vanish. After all, they have been temporary for so long that they have earned a permanent place in the story of EC. Meditation Chapel. At the Reading Clinic, freshmen are tested in reading skills, and, if found deficient, are taught to increase their ability to the level for college work. In this depart- ment, too, student teachers help children develop read- ing skill. The art department has classes for would-he art teachers or commercial artists and simpler courses for hobbyists. Valerius, famous Belgian painter, visited here last year. The ROTC program prepares Evansville College men for a commission in the Air Force after graduation.
