BUILDING FRIENDSHIPS OF A LIFETIME is o part of living in the residence halls. Learning to get along with others and to develop cooperation and leadership is a part of college and an education for the future. An experience in self-government, the dormitories provide more than a place to sleep. For from discussions, the exchange of ideas, and impressions that are shared, comes an ability to present, defend, weigh and evaluate different points of view.

RECREATION ALSO IS A PART of college living. Mental Health, physical health and social health are inter-dependent, and experiences ore provided in all of these fields. An active intramural athletic program as well as varsity games provide an outlet for physical energy. Our special events of Homecoming and Winter Carnival are occasions for additional planned recreational and social activity. The new Student Center with its game area, provision for watching television, and places for formal meetings as well as informal get-togethers has added much to the extra-curricular life at the College. With spacious gymnasium, a large swimming pool, handball courts and a dirt floor area for indoor golf, archery, baseball, and other team games, the newly - completed Physical Education and Recreation Center brings new facilities for student activities.
