BUSH HALL A flying saucer landed on the lawn in front of Bush on the night before hlomeconning. A space cot wearing a football helmet clinnbed from the ship and picked up his passenger, a bedraggled- looking Indian who was helped along by a stu- dent Bobcat. The craft lit up and was Miami Bound — this was Bush Hall ' s housing unit decor ation. Bush, one of the smallest dormitories on the East Green, was also one of the most active. There were mixers, hoyrides and just plain television dates in the comfortable lounge. Many new freshmen entering second semester were welcomed with o Spring Formal, which has become an annual event. And, of course, there was the usual amount of dormitory horse-play: the water fights, jam sessions, unexpected showers and the all-important intra- mural sports.

It all started when one dorm resident decided to dem- onstrate the proper use and control of the hula hoop. Not wanting to be undone, other men on the floor brought hoops — within minutes hoops were clattering on the floor, out of control. An all night cord game was the initiation received by each new freshman entering Biddle Hall. The odds were in favor of the freshmen who numbered 196; upperclass- men numbered 36. In oddition to the card gomes, bull sessions, snow fights, and mixers were plotted and enjoyed by the men of Biddle. At Christmastime, dorm residents and their dates danced around tinsel-covered trees at the annual Christ- mas formal. An unabridged dictionary was this year ' s addition to the dorm library which is gradually being built. Another addition to the dorm library was the Biddle crest of black and white, designed by one of the residents. 26

GAMERTSFELDER The men ol Gamertsfelder and the women of Bryan Hall were the adopted parents of some fifty underprivileged children for on evening near Eostertime. A meal at Shively, movies at Gam, a present for each child, topped off with refresh- ments provided an occasion never to be forgotten. Orchids in November, was the theme of Gam ' s winter formal at which a dream girl reigned as queen over a kingdom strewn with 1500 Vondo orchids. 28
