Biology Club College Rhythm
The Biology Club brought its first aca
demic year to a close with an afternoon
picnic at Constitution Lakes, given by Dr.
Helen T. Albro, head of the Biology De
partment. on Saturday, May (i, 1933.
During the first part of the afternoon
some of the picnickers spent the time ex
ploring the land, looking for interesting
spots near the lakes, collecting what insects
and other forms of life they could, while
the more adventurous few dared to take
short boat rides.
At five o'clock, the preparation period
closed and the picnickers assembled, without
urging, at the table and very unceremoniously
reduced the “hot dogs," bacon, potato chips,
tomatoes, cucumbers, pickle', buns, ice cold
drinks, ice cream and cake to a minimum.
The a 1 ternoon was filled with fun and
plea-ure from the time the club member'
left the campus until they re-entered its
gates that night.

After all, college life is a matter of
rhythm. College students are always doing
things at definite intervals. Each September
for four college years college chums, class
mates, and teachers greet each other on the
campuses as they begin nine months’ rou
tine. Each morning students dutifully attend
chapel; even tin* usual tardy seniors rush
madly into the chapel at the last minute,
fatigued, scarcely to have taken their seats
before the organ prelude begins. For five
or six days each week instructors call the
same names on their class rolls. Sundays
are eagerly looked forward to as days of
test. Then, when four and a half months
have passed by. tin* old question of "1 won
der what examinations will be like?" comes
up with a groan here and there. Each night
at ten o’clock, three hours having passed for
study, house mistresses and masters proclaim
tin* bedtime hour. Yes, college life is
rhythmic.
New Administration Building
of Atlanta University
The new Atlanta University Administra
tion building, recently completed, is part
of the million dollar project for which
funds were given by an anonymous donor
with the request that the gift be used at
once in the interests of the unemployment
campaign. The building program made a
distinct contribution toward this effort in
that 225 men per day were employed at
the peak of the work and an average of
fifty men per day since that time.
The building, designed by James Gamble
Rogers, architect of New York City, is a
three-story structure facing Morehouse Col
lege, and with entrances both from Chest
nut Street and from the campus. On the
top floor are the suites for the presidents
of the three affiliated institutions, Atlanta
University, Morehouse College, and Spel-
man College, a conference room and recep
tion rooms. On the second floor are the
offices of the registrars, the bursars, and
their assistants. The post office, bookstore,
office of the superintendent of grounds and
buildings, and storerooms aro on the ground
floor.
Barge-Thompson Company, construction
engineers of Atlanta, erected the building
and most of the materials used came from
the Southeastern States. The foundation
material is reinforced concrete, faced with
North Carolina brick and trimmed with
Alabama limestone. The steps are of granite
and the wainscoting of Georgia marble. The
architecture is early Georgian style, with
gold-leaf dome, and tower.
The landscaping included additional fea
tures which enhance the effect of the build
ing tremendously. Some of these are a
drinking fountain in front of the Admin
istration Building, the laying of walks con
necting the buildings of the University with
those of Morehouse College, the setting out
of many trees, and the planting of shrub
bery in front of these buildings.
