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.

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.

We Study CERTAIN reactionary souls keep insisting that college is a place to study. There is some truth to this charge, for every once in awhile we manage to find someone with his nose in a book. Psy- chology 49 instructors do their best to teach us the most efficient ways of acquiring knowledge. They tell us how important it is to find a quiet place to study, one free from distractions. They stress the necessity of having all materials on hand, of working in a temperature neither too hot nor too cold, of developing just the right mental attitude toward scholarly endeavor. Like the conscientious students we are, we do our best to secure all these conditions for effective study. We really do. IN THE LIBRARY-We S33 Anthony Scott breezing through the morning newspaper. He is using the most conventional method of not studying. ON THE QUAD-AAany students find that the Quad is more conducive to study. Thinking of killing two birds with one stone by getting a tan and some studying done at the same tim9, they take books in hand and look for an empty bench.
