East is east and West is west, but I can never remember which one she lives in. There wasn’t quite as much going on in the girls’ dorms this year: no dis¬ appearing coke bottles or mysterious white drapes in the living room of Met¬ calf, and half the fun of roughing it in Hodgdon was gone when the men from Bell finally got around to putting in a few phones. Many people wondered what all the digging around the dorm was for. Rumor had it that Maintenance was trying to brace up the building so that it wouldn’t slide into the lake.

Lu¬ igi Club became romantic on Valen¬ tine’s Day, Club 35 continued in their plaid strain, West Hall got a coat of paint, Paige Hall kept the theologs and Hazel, and Carmichael got a year old¬ er. The battle of the shirt and tie at din¬ ner proved a losing struggle for the na¬ ture hoys. The men sulked, the girls claimed that only at those meals did the average student look attractive, but when the furor died down, a thought- provoking letter, pointing out that such dinner regulations would lead to compulsory studying periods, dance at¬ tendance, and chapel for upper class- men, started the controversy all over again.
