Other denizens of the place are people who push one off of rafts, people who smoke all of your cigarettes, people who throw handfuls of mud, people who go away leaving you to turn off the victrola, and people who are bent on murder. The advantages of the place are a cheap way to acquire a coat of tan for the envy of one's friends 5 a semblance of cool- ness from the sweltering days of early summer 5 a very inex- pensive Way to entertain a date, and a very fine place to sleep undisturbed by the boop-boop-a-doop of the dormitory life. The sporting life is commented on in other sections. The academic al fresco life consists of women hauling blankets under available trees.

Driving east down North Col- ' 15' lege Street, he would pass four tennis courts in use, with many persons waiting to play. Farther on, his atten- tion would be drawn from the buildings to the varsity baseball squad practicing, and a few dashing figures on the cinder track. Two cars would pass him, one filled with men and co-eds in bathing suits hastening towards Gri1mell's, and the other with golf equipped students. Passing the science building he would catch a glimpse of an intramural baseball game in progress. Soon the sight of co-eds in brilliant costumes playing hockey would greet him. If by chance he should wander into the gymnasium, his illu- sion would be completed. There would be gym classes, hand- ball, boxing, wrestling, fencing, apparatus Work, and volley ball for him to watch. No need for the Dean to tell him that at Antioch the physical side of life is not neglected. 177
