Biology Building
New Location
Of Lost Offices
With the construction of the
new liibrary came the destruction
of the old SUB and along with it
the offices of the various organiza­tions
which it contained. With
their new offices in the Old Bi­ology
Building, these various or­ganizations
have found that they
can carry on their respective
functions to a better degree.
The University Student Sen­ate
and the A & S Student Coun­cil
are now sharing Room 204 for
official business. The Thorough­bred
staff has been moved into
Room 206, which doubles as a
darkroom.
The new office of Alpha Phi
Omega is Room 107. Here the
APO records and files are kept,
·and thi·s is also the U of L Lost
.and Found Department.
The Lost and Found Depa!ft­ment,
staffed by APO men, will
be opened from 11:00 to 1:00 daily
as a public service to the campus.
