Despite popular opinion, there is more to do at Penn State
than just attend claSses, study and go to parties. •
The University campus contains Many tourist attractions
for students, parents and visitors.
Old Main is the headquarters of much of the University's

John W. Oswald's office, the Student Affairs office which
soon will move to Boucke, the Alumni Association office and
many other administrative departments.
In front of old Main Stands a work of metal sculpture
known as the "turtle," a favorite spot for photographers.
The original Old Main, built on the present site between
1856 and 1863, for many years was the entire University
campus. It was rebuilt in 1929-30 and was the Student Union
Center until 1955.
Located on Pollock Road, Old Main is open from 8 a.m. to
5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Hetzel Union Building, commonly known as the HUB,
is the center of student life. Opened in 1955, it contains many
services for students and visitors.
The Lion's Den, a snack bar, and the Terrace Room, a
cafeteria, are located on the HUB ground floor. Also located
there are recreation facilities including pinball machines,
pool tables and ping-pong tables.
On the first floor are several lounge areas, a television
room and the main desk, where newspapers and various
publications are available.
Various student organizations have offices in the HUB.
The Undergraduate Student Government, the Organization
of Town Independent Students, the Association of
Residence Halls Students and other organizations occupy
offices in the HUB.
One of the University's most famous attractions is the
Nittany Lion, the athletic symbol of the University. Donated
in 1942 by the Class of 1940, the statue was carved by Heinz
Warneke. It is located behind the parking lot at Rec Hall.
Speaking of the Nittany Lion, the home of the Nittany
Lions is Beaver Stadium. Pep State home football games
are held in this all-steel superstructure with a seating
