Main Hall houses one-third of all classes. Main Hall i . ' 1 t If ' 1 J i y t I! •■ II JB till 11 ii; Hn nn n ' I n H jJt Madly you rush across campus to- ward Main Hall, your hair streaming and a ragged set of history notes clutched in your hand. You ' re late for a test. Frantically, you glance at your notes, making a last attempt to mem- orize the dates, names and causes of every European political uprising that ' s occurred since the beginning of time. You lunge through the doors to catch and elevator, but, of course, both are stopped for an indefinite amount of time on the fifth floor. But you ' ll wait. Why use the steps when you might need that extra energy to do well on the test? After all, walking up three flights of stairs can really drain a person! This is one expamle of the many adventures students of West Chester University have at Main Hall. Other adventures include classes in philosophy, english and lit- erature. Main Hall is home to all of these departments and, also, houses the office of West Chester Univer- sity ' s world-renown literary maga- zine, Daedalus. (If ya ever notice, in the lobby there ' s a pretty snazzy dis- play of the past Daedalus magazines). Yes, Main Hall is undoubtedly a center of culture and intellectualism. And who will ever forget that noto- rious soda machine in the lobby — out of order 95% of the time? By Lisa Dougherty 27

New Main Hall stands today where Old Main, a female dormatory from 1871-1971 once stood. Nestled between the Green Library and Philip ' s Memorial, this build- ing provieds a comfortable setting for the English, Foreign Language, Philosophy, Speech Communications Theater and History. Main ' s auditorium is a familiar scene for the summer orientation and University 01, which is a required course for all incoming freshman and transfer students.

Those who can create something out of nothing stand next to the angels. And, so Swope Hall is a heaven that seems somehow misplaced. Every and all kinds of music can be heard coming from this flat building located on University Avenue. Strangely, not one musical note ever sounds bad. Not enough of us have spent the time in the halls of Swope because Fame had nothing on those music majors of West Chester University. Swope Hall is truly the sweetest sounding building on campus.
