Another rather unwelcome change was the elimi- nation of regular Wednesday night lounge dances. This condition is being rectified by the planning of more social activities on week-ends and the hope of more dances during the regular session. Television fans have also missed the use of a second television set which was in existence four years ago. This change has called for democracy in the selection of programs to be viewed. There have also been many welcome changes on campus. One of these was a soda machine installed in the third floor smoker of Waller Hall. This machine, it was hoped, would keep the studying coeds happy and eliminate the necessity of run- ning to the lounge in bermudas and raincoats. Much to everyone ' s dismay, one of the biggest campus changes was Saturday classes for everyone. This change keeps the Suitcase Sams and Sues on campus until Saturday afternoon. The new schedule resulted in the library being opten on Saturday afternoon and on Sunday afternoon and evening — a most welcome change. A change that the Class of ' 60 happily avoided was the requirement of entrance exams for all prospective students. On several Saturdays through- out the year, prospective freshmen file into Carver Hall for a full morning of tests. Looking weary and brainwashed, they can be seen taking a break in the Husky Lounge at intervals during the day. Those of us who escaped this fate met with some- thing similar during our first week at Bloomsburg. It looks as if tests — all kinds of them — shall be forever a part of our college ex{)erience.

Bloomsburg went really modern this year with the distribution of plastic identification cards. This eliminated the well-chewed, quite bent, very used look when second semester registration rolled around. Another change during the past four years was the removal of the caretaker ' s home near the laundry and the relocation of the hothouse to a nearby site. This came about when the construc- tion of the new men ' s dormitory was beginning. The hothouse supplies many of the plants that are found in the flower beds on campus.
