r I encourage all of you to drop this course at once - you will not be able to pass it - some students come to me for a soft shoulv der, but all I give them is a bony elbow. So begins Dt. John Parker, Jr., fondly known by all of his students as Knocky Parker. His silent and sound film classes, offering glimpses of 250 classic tilms from his private collection, have long been favorites of students from all over the university. He claims D. W. Griffith's Intolerance and Charlie Chaplin's Gold Rush as his favorite movies. Often, one will find him on the tenth floor enioying his favorite pastime - listening to fine musicians. He himself has been playing the piano since I922, perform- ing all over the United States, England and France. Knocky wants everyone to know that USF has the best students in the world . . . oh they are nice! We think the same of you Knocky. ROLL 'EM J. R.! J r N Her speciality is WHAT? Performing the Hopie lndlan's rain dance? Oh . . . and she's also great at mimicking the Tubctulabal vocabulary? Oh yes, I know her, she's Mrs. Patricia Waterman, tram the Anthropology department. Her enthusiasm and vivociousness are car- ried over to her students, as shown through their class discussions and questions of inter- est about the comparative study of man.

Students are pleased with the per- sonal attention they receive from the faculty and staff. With an enrollment of 1,650 strangers are hard to meet since most of the students know each other. The St. Petersburg campus is a commuter school. The average age of the students is 26. Most of the students focus their attention on completing their degree requirements and less on community involvement. Eighty-five percent of the students work, 60 percent are married and 60 percent have children. The upper level college offers courses in marketing, management, accounting, English, psychology, mathematics, education, sociology, history, and engineering. The hub of activity is found in 3 building where general student affairs are carried on, and a rushed student can grab a quick sandwich and cup of coffee in between classes. The Recreation Center serves during the week as a discovery room for preschoolers called the Daycare Center. On weekend nights it moonlights us the Mushroom Coffee House providing live entertainment and swimming for its patrons. The three buildings that comprise the St. Petersburg branch have been under constant renovation in an effort to upgrade its facilities. A spacious auditorium was refurnished in building A to provide room for lecture classes, meetings, and movies. A snack bar was installed in building B and a typing room and microfilm room were recently added to the library. New office and classroom space and recreation areas were also made ready for use recently.
