Tlie metal ash- trays on the tables are filled with cijiarettes. A waitress swishes a wet cloth over the j lossy surface of the counter. A poster on the mirror ainiounces that Hoot ' n Horn is holding try-outs. A hoy in a thick I line sweater with a white t ' henille D on tlie front winds his way through the crowd and drops his hooks on a tahle. He returns after a minute with a cup of steaming hot coffee. The paper cup is so hot that it burns his hands. Where do you order those rings? asks a stu- dent, eyeing the sign on the cash register. It is a reminder that class rings must be ordered be- fore the last of the month. We can take orders right here. answered the cashier, shoving the cash drawer shut. She pauses expectantly.

There is a long line at the Book Store. The end is not in sight but it is likely that it reaches back to the post office boxes. A man in the plioiic booth has tried several times, unsuccessfully, to make a call. His growing impatience is obvious. Finally, he slams the receiver down in disgust and races up the stairs. He is already late for class. A stu- dent passes drinking a coke and reading a volumi- nous letter. At he reads, his mouth forms a smile. Then he breaks into a laugh. A group of students looks at him curiously then resumes its aninuited discussion. He hears noise in the hall outside. Il must be 4 o ' clock. Just twenty-five minutes left! How a long period drags! He tries to center his atlciilinn on Elizabethan drama but he just can ' t concentrate. There ' ll Be Some Changes Made, ' and they were! West Compus Dope Shop took on a new appeorance with the oddition of o grill ond booths.
