20 Library is often tall and thin, sometimes it gets even taller and thinner. One time last year it was 80 stories high and only ten yards wide. Other times, however it will flatten out like a fallen souffle. This is why there is so much of what appears to waste space around the building's base. On many occasions the Sci.Li. is only about three or four stories high and fills up a full square block. Last winter for a time it was bumping up against the East Side Opti- cal Shop dead-ending Waterman Streel on one side and the Litterfield dormitory on the other. The spacious Ratty will sometimes stretch toward the sky, making a meal look like a panavision movie being shown without the proper lense. Some late night studiers at the Rock last spring were given a surprise ride as the li- brary's parking brake failed and the struc- ture rolled down the hill and plowed into the back of the state courthouse. Several students from the same dormi- tory were unable to find their way back to it for scveral days last year. Security finally tracked it down. It has shrunk down to minia- ture and in its shrunken state someone had placed it inside the auditorium of Sayles Hall where it had expanded back to regulation size again. The latter incident along with others in which students and community neighbors were inconveneinced by the Amorphous Cam- pus had raised serious questions about the L. J. SORCHER whole approach. A committee has been or- ganized to investigate complaints and suggest future changes. Nonetheless, a recent poll of graduating seniors showed that 807 supported the present system. As one put it, At Brown, things aren't necessarily where or how you expect them to be, and that's a lesson in itself. BROWN TRADITIONS The Van Wickle Gates are only opened four times a year. They open inward on the day of opening convocation and outward on the day of Commencement. The gates also open out- ward for an hour at dusk on the day that Academic Warnings are sent out and open inward, just a crack, at the beginning of second semester to welcome second semester transfers and readmits. At the first home varsity football game Freshmen wear paper bags over their heads and hum Nadia's Theme, The Young and The Restless. Watching Karate Club members break their hands and feet on a piece of styrofoam during their Activities night exhibition. Pulling three All-Nighters in a row and then collapsing into a gutter on Waterman Street. Sitting on the Green until The Cows come home. SoMNER
