Vol. XXXil No. 22 STATE UNIVERSITY AGRICULTURAL AND TECHNICAL INSTITUTE AT FARMINGDALE MAY 2, 1962
OPEN HOUSE
This Friday and Saturday, ob-servance
ofthe Institute's SOth An-niversary
will commence with our
annual O^n House.
Students will play hosts and
hostesses to the thousands of
people expected to visit our cam-pus.
The student body has been
gracious enough to sacrifice thieir
classes on Thursday and Friday.
Students from each curriculum
will spend Thursday setting up the
many displays and exhibits th^
attract an ever increasing number
of interested people to SUATt,
Seniors will remember Open
House as a welcomed break, ideal
for catching up on assignments
or if you're lucky enough, getting
ahead in assignments.
But whether ahead or behind
most students will find time dur-ing
the Open House break for some
good old fashioned "merry-making".
If you don't like to
make merry or if this week's
allowance is all gone, you can still
have quite a time right here on
campus.
All the college's classrooms and
laboratories will be open to the
public and if you've never seen
baby chicks hatching from their
shells or a business office circa
1900 with students in costume
working with office equipment of
that era, then we suggest you spend
some of your off-duty time dis-covering
your campus.
One of the most enjoyable ex-hibits
has always been the art
students work. Visitors will have
the opportunity to have their por-tx-
aits and caricatures drawn by
the sudents.
Foreign students will have an
informative exhibit of products
from each of their countries. Films
describing their homelands will be
shown continuously in a nearby
classroom.
Also, don't miss the Construct-ion
Technology exhibits of archi-tectural
drawings, small scale mod
els of residences designed by the
students, and surveying and draft-ing
equipment used by the HB
and BC students. If you've never
seen a block of concrete being
crushed, we suggest you visit the
testing lab in the Tech building.
If you're technical or business
student with a green thumb, be
sure to see our greenhouses with
their unusual, beautiful, exotic, and
even rare flowers and plants.
While there, you can see Flori-culture
students demonstrating the
art of floral arrangements.
No matter what your training
here at Farmingdale consists of,
you're sure to be fascinated with
the Chem Tech's display of their
nuclear equipment purchased with
a grant to the college by the
Atomic Energy Commission and
used in studying radio isotopes.
While in this area you'll wonder
at the world of electronics and all
its intriguing equipment as dis-played
by students in the ET de-partment.
Also, if you're interested in
engines and machinery, don't miss
the AO and MT exhibits.
The DH department, particular-ly
talented in designing displays,
will feature a maze for children.
The dining hall will be serving
meals on Saturday and, of course,
the Dew Drop will be open. In
addition, the freshmen and senior
class officers will be operating a
refreshment stand at the Produce
Market behind the Administration
building.
More improtant than the exhibits
and displays, visitors will want
to meet the students of SUATl.
You will be representing our col-lege
during Open House. Whether
on-duty or not; on-campus or not,
keep in mind the responsibility
with which you will be charged.
We are all proud of our campus
and our work here. Let's let
our many guests know-it.
MONDAY-Student

sure your representative is there! I
