Behind the sharp outlines of this modern building the Liberal Arts stu- dents of the University attend classes. One of the newest additions to the cam- pus it is also the home of the University Auditorium. It is here the University plays host to eminent speakers and per- sonalities of the nation. The LA building was constructed with native sandstone in an architectural style remi- niscent of earlier and more romantic days. Wyoming ' s gymnasium, more familiarly known as Hell ' s Half Acre, ' ' has perhaps the largest basketball floor of any such building in the Big Seven Con- ference. Besides containing small gyms, and swimming pool for indoor ath- letics, the building provides for administrative and drill facilities of the ROTC infantry unit. r mTrm n r i im t - m urr • ' m v rrrnrmor- r iiifT T iT nT rT T H ' H ?

Not entirely unlike Old Main this building is one of the earliest in the history of the campus. A panoramic view of the campus as seen from a window of Old Main . Facing us directly is Hoyt Hall , women ' s dormitory, and on the left can be detected a section of Merica Hall , also serving as a dormitory for women. Far in the left background can be seen the Union building tow- ering above them all, with the Music hall, almost hidden by trees, flanking Hoyt Hall. Off in the distance are the Rocky Mountain ranges and Laramie plains. Truly the University can be termed an oasis amid nature ' s wildness.

U L U B i» J Students take advantage of the arrival of spring against a backdrop of the Liberal Arts building. Like some castle of old, the Men ' s Hall stands majestically protecting the northeastern approach to the campus although there be noth- ing but tumbleweed beyond. Up to date in every respect, the dormitory is one of the latest additions to the campus. . :.
