COLLEGE CENTER· JANE COSGROVE Counselor for Women The College Center is often termed the "living room" of the college. This is literally and figuratively true. I ts modern lounge wi th comfort­ able chairs and sofas offers relaxa­ tion for the weary scholar. I ts meet­ ing rooms are crowded with all kinds of activities, receptions and banquets. In addition, the Center provides offices for the Vanguard, Viking, Associated Students, College Center Board and Directorate, Winter Car­ nival, Fine Arts Festival and stu­ dent administrative personnel. Most used by students and faculty alike is the cafeteria which is crowd­ ed from 7 :30 breakfast time through the dinner hour. The Co-op Bookstore and game rooms are in the basement. A new 2.5 million dollar addition will open during fall term 1961. It includes, on the new third and fourth floors, additional meeting rooms, a library browsing room; new offices for President Branford Millar and his staff. It will mean larger, more adequate quarters for all student ac­ tivities, including bowling alleys and a barber shop. With this new construction, Port­ land State's College Center will be one of the most modern and func­ tional student unions on the West Coast. Studying the proposed browsing room to be in the addition of the College Center are Joseph DeMarsh, Arthur Casebeer and Daniel A. Beecher. Student Activities staff includes Mrs. Mary Lou Proller, Orlin p. Fitzgerald, Mrs. Maria Brown and Mill Carol Bunnell.
