On many campuses it is known as the gym but at River Falk the students say they are going over to Karges ' Karges Physical Education and Recreation Center can be reached by many paths—by cutting through the Student Center, by taking a shortcut across campus from the dorms to the rear entrance. But the best way to enter Karges is through the front door, pausing to look up at the north outside wall, adorned with the giant bronze Falcon that is a symbol of the University. Once inside, the student may attend a physical education lecture or a laboratory class in golf, swimming, bowling, archery, tumbling, fencing, or any number of team or individual sports. He may attend or participate in a swimming meet, a basketball game, a wrestling match. He may watch the football squad loping off to the practice field or limping back again. In the gymnasium he may mingle with crowds too big for the regular auditorium, to hear such famous speakers as Vance Packard or Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., or such musical programs as a concert by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. And the goal he has been working toward will be reached when, in mortarboard and gown, he joins a processional to Karges and marches across the stage to receive his diploma.
