'44 For Above: Life in an emergency hut looks good. An increased college enrollment created emergency housing in the form of tin uhutsf' The interior of one of the huts is pictured above. Plaster boards, overhead rafters, rain on the tin roof, and Navy field desks and hunks be- came a part of the 'cplace to hang your hat, Joe. You're at home. With pin-up pictures on the walls, a supply of magazines, a cheerful room mate, a radio, and plenty of homework, these boys settled down to college life. Dorm life at Parson's Hall revolved around the kitchen, for isn't it a well known fact that men like to eat? The recreation lounge was often filled with the uleisure hour shifts. ln the Parsons Hall annex, occupants also settled down to college life. Students or towns- people strolling past the annex were likely to see the men playing horseshoes or ushooting the breeze. Another favorite pastime was play- ing touch football or merely tossing a baseball. State men are avid sports fans. All in all, the dorm or 'Ghutn students shared many enjoyable experiences together, becoming close friends. To the commuters and town students, housing, laundry, and stretching that last dollar to get 'Ggrubv have not been a part of college life. Students living on the campus vouch that it wouldn't be college without the enjoyable ex- periences shared together in dorm life.
