Prattle in A PLEASANTLY NOISY SPOT was the Pit at mid- day. It was a place to let off steam after the dis- cipline of classroom and lab, a place to compare fortunes on an examination, to begin romances or to patch up old ones, to confer with instructor, or simply to relax over a cup of coffee. 14 EXASPERATING- Louise Hykes, chatting with Carol AAcCurdy, exclaims I tell you, this guy was a real nut! A real kook! TALK, TALK, TALK-From morn till night, people gather in the Pit to talk, and some even pause long enough to listen. In the panel at the left, Roya Hume appears to be eaves dropping on a conversation off camera. Facing the photographer is Marietta Egan. That ' s Sunny Gamache seated on the step. The intent listener is Joe La Rocca.

Actions A COLLEGE IS A NOISOME WORLD-especially from eight o ' clock on of any day that classes are in session. Outside the Quad, horns honk and hot rods gun their way down the avenue. Across the campus, a shrill feminine voice halts a friends on her way to class. Down in the Pit masculine guff- aws rise above the usual hum of late break- fasters. From the open door of a classroom come the stentorian tones of an instructor, making sure students don ' t miss a point for lack of oral em- phasis. Phones jangle in faculty offices, chairs scrape on the floor, drawers bang. Education is scarcely a silent process. 13 STEAMED UP-We don ' t know what did it, but though the weather was cool, something prompted George Smith to get pretty hot under the collar. He expressed himself well, too. CHEERS— Nothing whips a crowd into noisy enthusiasm like a long pass or a quick run through the line. Hailing some such play are Carol McCurdy, Paty Sanborn, Steve AAcKeel, Steve Connell, Karen Giles, and Rett Sanborn. Tiger victories kept the fans in an uproar most of the time. They had plenty to cheer about.

the Pit IN THE INFORMAL ATMOSPHERE of the Pit, per- sonalities were displayed with scarcely any inhibi- tion. Here girl-watchers (and their feminine coun- terparts) found ample opportunity to pursue their hobby, and people who just like people could socialize to their heart ' s content. 15 COFFEE BREAK-The Pit is the home away from home for most students. Weary of study, they could relax here between classes, and it was the scene of all kinds of rendezvous. MORE OF THE SAME— in the center panel, Sunny Gamache and Louise Hykes, seated in front, are back in the conver- sation, and Joe La Rocca is still engrossed. Janet McDaniels, behind Joe, is trying to follow along. Shirley Thompson, in the polkadot blouse, is distracted by someone at the rear of the Pit. At right, Ron Pettit lool s the situation over.
