The most popular and un-policed rendezvous was the basement hall, particu- larly near the iceless box in front of the passage lead- ing to that mysterious place, the MENS GYM.

Perhaps the proximity to the Advance and Sycamore offices, also popular to the highest classmen, may give the clue, but it is more probable that this became a loahng place before the law enforcement committee incorporated certain over-conscientious professors and professoresses who herded us out of the upper halls, and so the icebox region afforded us a comparatively safe place to hear the much needed gossip. Another theory is that the summer students particularly venerated this region because the spigot there furnished the only drinkable water in the building. Naturally, with several dozen pupils waiting their turns at this fountain. others gathered to see what the evident excitement wasg therefore, they have been congregating ever since. NVe will be grateful forevermore to the tax payers of lndiana for giving us this one precious spigot as an excuse as well as a necessity! What matter if the bowl contained several wads of well-chewed gum within its spotted depths? There was always a gallant he-male to turn the water on for us, and we could talk and moisten our parched mouths without fear of being asked to move on.

The Dean of Mens room was noteworthy as a gath- ering place for mysterious class meetings. If you have never been a Normalite. you perhaps wonder why such meetings are not held in the chapel hall to accom- modate the large number who. you would suppose, would attend.
