Night Life At Iowa State

Page 9 text:

TWICE EACH DAY Ira Schroeder climbs the steps of the campanile to play a carillon concert. Schroeder has been around the world OS a guest corilloneur and has been playing for ISU since 1931. AS THE YEAR PROGRESSES, the campanile takes on a familiar and sentimental significance — the carillon concerts, tours up the winding steps at Veishea, and the midnight excursion to herald the arrival of another coed on campus. Freshman orientation this year showed the typical picture of the first few days of school. Small groups of bewildered freshmen wandered into the armory wondering why they were going to a convocation, if they were there at the right time and right place, and how to act so they wouldn ' t look like freshmen. And when convocation was over, they were let loose to roam around the campus. Everything was located from the most obvious landmark, the big tower with the clock.

Three of the most familiar buildings on campus glow in the darkness. Beardshear, the busy and crowded hub of activity throughout the day, stands deserted at night. The Union, day and night the tra- ditional meeting place for first dates, hours of concentrated bridge playing, efforts at studying, or a quick cup of coffee before class, stands reflected in the dark waters of Lake La Verne. The library, jammed with book laden and sleepy btit determined sttidents, perhaps represents the most fre- quent night life during the week. Week- ends, however, were jammed with con- certs, parties, plays, dances, exchanges, games, and a few were still at the library.
