FITNESS WALKING MAP - Between .05 & 1.0 Mile
The SHSU Mall area is another one of those places on campus that is full of fun exploration.
The Blatchley Bell Tower/Clock are fairly recent additions to the University grounds. In April 2005, the Garden Clock and Tower were finished. At noon you can hear the clock chime to the tune of "Hey Jude.". Also wonder why the clock's face has IIII and not IV?

Bell Tower & Clock
Next to the Bell Tower is this memorial marker for
An unfortunate victim of a violent crime
who was shot and killed.
Raven's Call is another fairly recent yearly tradition that pays tribute to Lost Bearkats and is held in this area of the Mall.
The Alumni Garden is a area designated to honoring Alumni and a way to raise funds for the University Alumni Association.

While continuing to walk down the pathway, you will see a 20 ft. Statue of Sam Houston between the Lowman Student Center and the Smith-Hutton which was a $40,000 gift from Ron Mafrige, and sculpted by artist, David Adickes, who also made the 60 ft. Statue of Sam Houston on the I-45 access road.
