Chapel and Bell The Chapel and Bell serve as a unique historical landmark, representing the change of the University’s focus on religion to a now more secular institution. The University originally held ties to the protestant orthodoxy, which made the Chapel and Bell the main daily focus for mandatory church services. It was also used to signal the University’s beginning and end of classes, as well as emergencies. Now, the use of the Chapel and Bell has changed but maintained its traditional importance. The bell is now rung to signify celebration, especially of athletic accomplishments, and the chapel is used mainly for tourism, as well as meetings and events (Earls). Intramural Fields The Intramural Fields surround Lake Herrick on the east end of campus where many outdoor recreational sports are hosted. Not only is it home to competitors, as myself, but it also includes a fitness trail for those who love to run or walk as they enjoy nature. Many college students collectively engage in many physical activities at the ‘I-Fields’ to avoid weight gain or to lose weight. This shows that many college students are health-oriented regardless of their intended majors or beliefs. Not only does the Intramural Fields host recreational sports in all divisions but the I-Fields host special events such as Relay for Life. Mell Hall Dorm The Mell Hall Dorm is part of the Hill Community and is unique in the fact that it is an all girls dorm. Very few sites on campus are gendered, besides bathrooms, of course, but since there are more females than males enrolled in each entering class, there needs to be more female housing than male. The other female dorms on campus include Church Hall, Lipscomb Hall, and Soule Hall. Other traditional dorms on ca... ... middle of paper ... ...re winning 201 football games and six SEC championships from 1963 to 1988. Along with that Dooley and the Dawgs won the National Championship in 1980; and under his leadership as Athletic Director from 1979 to 2004, “the Bulldogs won a total of 23 national championships and 78 SEC crowns” (Athletics News). To honor Dooley and all the achievements he brought to the university, UGA named the new sports complex in his honor. Therefore on November 29, 2008, the University had a ceremony revealing “The Vince Dooley Athletic Complex” where the unveiling of a “statue depicting a victorious Dooley being hoisted on the shoulders of players from his 1980 national championship team” took place (Athletics News). The statue represents the University celebrating the passion for athletics and the electrifying feeling competition and sports brings to the campus. Works Cited
Graves hall, which was constructed in 1889, used to be the only building on the campus of Morehouse College during early years of operation. Graves hall used to house all college resources including living resources and classrooms. Today Graves hall is one of many residence halls on campus and is predominantly living quarters, as opposed to the various departments it used to house. Although some things about the hall has changed since 1889, some things remain the same. Graves hall is still producing noteworthy alums and is still a vital part of the institution, the city of Atlanta and the state of Georgia. The environment of Graves Hall is not always positive but both positive and negative environments aid in transforming boys into men by ushering a sense of responsibility and respect through stiff rules, policies and peer to peer relations, provides a safe, comfortable living space through various team building activities, heightened security and positive atmospheres, boost resident morale through functional facilities, and hall pride, and stimulates motivation to achieve by imposing high standards upon residents.

Georgia O’Keefe is a famous American painter who painted beautiful flowers and landscapes. But she painted these images in such a way that many people believed she was portraying sexual imagery. “O’Keefe’s depictions of flowers in strict frontality and enlarged to giant scale were entirely original in character . . . the view into the open blossoms evoked an image of the female psyche and invited erotic associations.” (Joachimides 47) O’Keefe denies these allegations and says that she “magnified the scale of the flower only to ensure people would notice them.” (Haskell 203) O’Keefe’s artwork was misinterpreted because of cultural prejudice, her non-traditional lifestyle, and gender bias art criticism. But despite these accusations, Georgia O’Keefe’s artwork was not based on sexuality.
The book begins by explaining how important exercise and being active is to our health and well-being. The author then transitions into a story about Naperville Central High School. This high school was in the forefront of a revolutionary new concept that involved vigorous exercise of its students instead of a traditional gym class. This new approach stimulated new research on the brain, and the effects of exercise on the well being of our body and minds. After the introduction of the new fitness programs, the school’s students showed drastic increases in standardized tests, and on normal tests as well.

James Oglethorpe established the new colony of Georgia, with visions to help the deserving poor. With the Industrial Revolution going on in England, many people had a reduced chance of employment and many lost their jobs. One of the three reasons Oglethorpe wanted to establish Georgia, was to help the poor people in England to develop a new start to their lives. James Edward Oglethorpe, a philanthropist and British general, is well known for his strong efforts in helping the poor when he found the 13th original colony, Georgia.

Memorial Hall, which was originally a civil war monument, is now a theater and student union for Harvard University. The 19th century architects Robert Ware and Henry Van Brunt designed this building to resemble the Victorian Gothic Romanesque churches of the time. Memorial Hall contains a theater, dinning hall, and a crossing (the civil war memorial).

On top of the great housing, there are resident hall activities like volunteering. There are also over fifty clubs and after class activities available at St. Ambrose. There are academic, cultural, recreational and even more types of clubs and class activities available. St. Ambrose does its best to provide a home, away from home.
There is never enough of anything in the life of a college student. there is never enough time to study, or enough food, or enough money, or enough time to sleep. But, if that student becomes a college athlete then all of the “or’s” change to “and’s”. Even though there are many struggles of a college athlete they are not going away. As the youth of America watches their older counterparts excel in many college sports, a dream to become an athlete at the collegiate level is sparked. This dream is fueled through high school sports and then disseminated by high school counselors. Counselors who are quick to remind that sports do not bring home a paycheck. Neverless, this dream of college sports thrives and is present in the mind of every high

Students who participate in sports remain physically active. Student athletes have practice and must keep “in shape” to compete against other high school teams. Researchers have said the younger population has grown obese. Students who remain in high school sports have a lower risk of becoming obese. Obesity is growing rapidly in the nation and having kids participate in sports will help the nation’s obesity rate decrease. The reason students stay healthy is because the practice may involve running, weight training, and flexibility to help stay in “shape”. Students involved in sports are also encouraged to eat better to ensure the best body to perform at top level. Athletes have a desire to win and be the best. This forces an athlete to live a healthier
The first group will be divided into two subgroups: the general student body and student athletes. Student athletes that are out of season generally play indoors to stay competitive and active during their off seasons. We would like to target them, because they are naturally drawn to competition and may provide a fan base due to the player’s standing with the fans. We would like to aim at the general student body as providing opportunities to relax, de-stress, and enjoy entertainment on campus. 2.
