you
      will
      find
      three
      separate
      operations
     
     
      rooms.
      The
      first
      such
      room
      is
      labeled
     
     
      'MAPUS."
      Do
      not
      trust
      this
      heading.
     
     
      MAPUS
      is
      not
      moving
      into
      the
      New
     
     
      Student
      Centre,
      and
      we
      don't
      blame
     
     
      them,
      since
      that
      room
      is
      awfully,
      awful-
     
     
      ly
      pathetic.
      Instead,
      they
      will
      be
      mov-
     
     
      ing
      into
      the
      previous
      location
      of
      the
     
     
      Cadre,
      room
      06
      in
      the
      basement
      of
     
     
      Main.
      It
      is
      under
      the
      stairwell
      of
      the
     
     
      main
      lobby.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      We
      are
      also
      always
     
     
      looking
      for

      After
      the
      false
      'MAPUS'
      room
     
     
      in
      the

      We
      are
      told
     
     
      that
      our
      new
      offices
      are
      nicer
      than
      those
     
     
      at
      the
      Journal
      Pioneer,
      and
      so
      it
      is.
      We
     
     
      are
      also
      always
      looking
      for
      volunteers

      send
      anything
      you'd
      like

      We
      are
     
     
      looking
      for
      news
      items
      and
      opinion
     
     
      pieces
      more
      than
      works
      of
      fiction
      and
     
     
      poetry,
      so
      keep
      that
      in
      mind.
      The
     
     
      Editor-in-Chief
      is
      Matt
      Stewart,
      and
     
     
      meetings
      are
      Mondays
      at
      4:30.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      First
      Floor
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      "south"
      end
      of
      the
      first
     
     
      floor
      has
      a
      nice
      large
      lounge
      area.
      You
      ~
     
     
      will
      notice
      a
      big
      brick
      wall
      with
     
     
      "Alumni
      Gym"
      carved
      into
      it.
      This
      wall
     
     
      is
      an
      original
      from
      the
      building
      which
     
     
      was
      standing
      on
      that
      spot
      less
      than
      a
     
     
      year
      ago.
      Originally,
      the
      architects
      were
     
     
      going
      to
      use
      the
      brick
      to-build
      a
      large
     
    
   
   
    
     
      part
      of
      the
      inside
      of
      the
      new
      Student
     
     
      Centre.
      But
      then
      it
      caught
      fire,
      so
      only
     
     
      the
      one
      wall
      is
      original.
      It
      adds
      a
      nice
     
     
      sense
      of
      history
      and
      nostalgia
      for
      the
     
     
      previous
      building.
     
    

    
     
      Around
      the
      corner
      is
      a
      long
     
     
      hallway,
      which
      goes
      by
      "The
     
     
      Concourse".
      We
      will
      work
      our
      way
     
     
      from
      "south"
      to
      "north".
      On
      the
      right
     
     
      are
      the
      doors
      and
      elevators
      which
      help
     
     
      you
      ascend
      to
      the
      second
      floor.
      There
     
     
      are
      also
      some
      tables
      and
      chairs
      and
     
     
      large
      windows
      with
      sliding
      doors.
      To
     
     
      the
      left
      are
      all
      the
      entertainments
      and
     
     
      buying
      goods.
     
    

    
     
      First
      you
      will
      come
      to
      "The
     
     
      Courtyard
      Café,"
      which
      is
      essentially
      a
     
     
      cafeteria.
      They
      have
      their
      share
      of
      the
     
     
      junk
      food
      industry
      going
      through
      their
     
     
      hands,
      but
      they
      also
      offer
      a
      selection
      of
     
     
      very
      healthy
      meals,
      and
      sometimes
     
     
      have
      a
      special
      chef
      come
      in
      to
      make
     
    
   
   
    
     
      various
      cuisines.
     
    

    
     
      In
      an
      opening
      in
      the
      wall
      is
      a
     
     
      kiosk
      where
      is
      where
      you
      may
      buy
      tick-
     
     
      ets
      to
      any
      concert
      events
      and
      any
      other
     
     
      odd
      happenings.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      it
      received
      its
      name
     
     
      because,
      if
      you
      look
     
     
      closely,
      it's
      wavy.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      _
      The
      Courtyard:
      A
      room
      of
     
     
      many
      purposes.
      This
      is
      a
      large
      ball-
     
    
   
   
    
     
      room-like
      area
      with
      a
      lovely
      stage.
      The
     
    
   
   
    
     
      room
      is
      versatile
      as
      many
      lights
      can
      be
     
     
      hung
      in
      any
      number
      of
      places,
      large
     
     
      curtains
      may
      be
      hung
      to
      act
      as
      wings
      if
     
     
      a
      theatre
      production
      were
      to
      be
      attempt-
     
     
      ed,
      and
      receptions
      may
      also
      be
      held
     
     
      here.
      This
      room
      will
      house
      many
      events
     
     
      and
      serve
      greatly
      as
      a
      gathering
      spot.
     
     
      Further
      along
      is
      "The
      Wave."
      It
     
     
      received
      its
      name
      because,
      if
      you
      look
     
    
   
   
    
     
      yy
     
    
   
   
    
     
      closely,
      it's
      wavy.
      The
      Wave
      has
      got
      a
     
     
      DJ
      set-up,
      funky
      lights,
      and
      new
      games
     
     
      that
      aren't
      missing
      any
      pieces.
      There's
     
     
      even
      a
      jukebox!
     
    

    
     
      Finally,
      the
      Bookstore.
      This
      has
     
     
      had
      a
      great
      improvement.
      There's
      much
     
     
      more
      space
      between
      the
      aisles,
      it's
      easi-
     
     
      er
      to
      find
      things,
      there
      are
      wonderful,
     
     
      unhealthy
      snack
      foods,
      and
      more
      room
     
     
      for
      more
      merchandise.
      It's
      brighter,
     
     
      cleaner,
      and
      a
      friendlier
      environment.
     
    

    
     
      So
      that
      is
      our
      new
      building!
      Go
     
     
      forward
      now,
      my
      fellow
      students,
      and
     
     
      use
      our
      new
      facility
      with
      care
      and
     
     
      knowledge,
      for
      she
      will
      be
      our
      new
     
     
      home.
      Be
      confident
      as
      you
      walk
     
     
      through
      the
      courtyard,
      and
      give
      guid-
     
     
      ance
      to
      those
      who
      still
      seem
      a
      bit
     
     
      frightened.
      Together,
      we
      will
      survive
      in
     
     
      our
      new
