Iohn Cano Chapel, of all the buildings on the Hill, is perhaps the one most familiar to the student from the Hrst moment on the campus. Here he finds the offices of the president, vice-president, dean, regis- trar and treasurer, down- stairs are the offices of the business manager and the personnel director. ln the auditorium students meet for chapel three days in the week, for plays, forums, Tatler Revue, Achieve- ment Day, commencement. Here also, is the Co-op Book Store which is one of the busiest, most-frequent- ed places on the campus. The William Iewell Press and the office of the Tatler and Student are located in the chapel building. These various important cogs in the college wheel make it an important, busy center of activity for every mem- ber of the faculty and stu- dent body. Usually something is ' -fi if I Q , dy ,. 0 .v . 2 going on in the auditorium, a play is being re- hearsed, someone is practicing on the piano, bang- ing hammers announce the setting up of scenery for a new Players' production, or perhaps someone is just sitting there studying Spanish aloud. The chapel steps are a favorite congregating spot, especially the last minute before chapel begins. The lobby is crowded with students thronged around the bulletin board reading the announce- ments just before and after chapel. The Co-op is seldom empty during school hours. Gallons of cokes, tons of ice cream, pounds of sugar, and pecks of potato chips have been consumed here in the years of the Co-op's existence. Fall, winter, or spring, the Hcoopv seems to hold an indefinable appeal for most Iewell-ites. The Tatler-Student office is hardly large enough to hold an open newspaper, much less plan one, and the two staffs can never work there at one time, but those who work in this enlarged closet grow rather fond of it, and the close association with the members of the staff make the work all the more interesting. The work of the 'William Iewell Press is invalu- able to the college. The Student, Taller, Church and College, and The William leufell Bulletin are only four of the publications printed by the Press. It, like the Chapel itself, is indispensable. No campus tour is complete without seeing Gano Chapel, and a detail not often overlooked by visitors to the Hill is the large trophy case in the lobby, proof of Iewell's prowess in many endeavors. 17

It was the scene of the gala Homecoming activities at which the queen was crowned at the exciting game with Westminster. Cheering lustily for the victorious Cardinals, students and alumni reached the climax of the first successful Home- coming held in the basketball season. With the end of the war and the return of vet- erans to the campus, intramural basketball,-, volley ball, and swimming have again taken their impor- tant places in the college program. To prepare for its place of renewed importance in college life, the gymnasium underwent a rejuvenating process in the way of a re-linish on the basketball court and a new scoreboard, a gift of the Co-op. Bleachers were installed on the court floor for the student body, making a united cheering section led by the pep squad. Music from the student organized band, if not a credit to Sousa, was at least loud and spirited. Once more Brown Gymnasium and indoor athletics resumed their rightful place in the spirit and tradition of Iewell. 16 Built in 1929 after the old Brown Gymnasium was destroyed by fire in 1928, this building con- tains basketball and volleyball courts, facilities for corrective sports, for girls, athletics, swimming, and other indoor sports. To the left of the building are tennis courts, and to the rear, the athletic Held and track. Gffices of the coaches, and directors of physical education are in this building, as well as the director of enrollment. The I Club Room, For members onlyv is yet to be reclaimed by those returning lettermen who earned and wore proudly the Cardinal red sweater with its black If At one time one af the most active organizations on the campus, symbol of the highest athletic achieve- ment, the IU Club membership was depleted by the war. To those of us who have known Iewell only in the war years, the return of the electric 'T' in the Cardinal color over the entrance to thegym is a symbol of the return of many things, the shouts of victory, the groans of defeat, the flashing red of lettermenls sweaters, the silhouette of the pigskin against an autum sky. vice-p trar a stairs busine person audito for che week, Tatle ment 1 Here Book 1 the bi ed plz The W and tf and Si the ch variou the co an im of acti ber of dent b Us going hearse ing hz for a 1 is just Th spot, e The l arounc ments Th Gallor and pc in the spring appeal .......-......--....- ..-. tn-- ......- .
