The Campus Mirror 13 Administration Building 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. Elnoka Hayes, ? 33 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. j T.
