Contrasting Places The CUB is home to such groups as Panhellenic, Women’s Center and ASWSU, which guides a number of groups in de¬ veloping programs for thousands of students. Today Pullman is still isolated with a small airport, but the peo¬ ple who live here all year and the students who spend four or more years here are not ashamed of their “city”. The people of this university are known and their impact is felt around the state, around the nation and around the world. People are not ashamed to be called a Cougar, especially after the football team showed sports fans there is more than one team in the state of Washington. There are not as many Cougars as there are Dawgs, but Cougars are a proud lot with a sense of duty. Cougars today are trying harder to become the best. — Troy D. Bull 16 Opening

The Compton Union Building, is the center of campus life. It is a small city itself. There are game rooms, a movie theater, outdoor rental shop, art gallery, U.S. Post Office and the area called Little Main Street withs its banks, floral shop, dry cleaning service and film processing store. The union building provides a wealth of ser¬ vices for the University commun¬ ity, without the student ever hav¬ ing to leave campus. On each floor, the union build¬ ing, known by most students here as the “C.U.B.”, teems with activ¬ ity. During the Homecoming, and Parents Weekends, the reception desk at the CUB is a flurry of activity. Among its myriad func¬ tions, the CUB has a score of hotel rooms, ready to give aid and com¬ fort to the weary traveler who had made it this far into the Palouse country. For anyone who has tried to reserve a room on these busy holiday events, the experi¬ ence is a trip in itself. Need some fudge? How about a pair of running shoes? Or maybe a new stereo system, or one of those famous crimson and gray sweatshirts to send back home to your brother? Your campus shop¬ ping center, the “Bookie” in undergraduate vernacular is the place to go. Its real name is The Students Book Corporation, and the business has a history almost as old as the university itself. By the way, the bookie sells text books for virtually all classes taught on campus. Opening 15
