s At lunch, people are sufficiently awake to talk, laugh and be alive. Now is when dates are made, dull jokes are told, complaints heard. But people generally rush to a 1:30 class. In the afternoon some studying is done. The library is somewhat used: more for talk than study, but still more than at night. Most Chemistry lab of the talking centers around the round table with its satellites of comfortable chairs. Here students and faculty alike engage in desultory conversation. Some students study in their rooms. Some play cards in the Student Center, especially if they are Townies. Some people sleep, or play some team sport, or shoot squirrels. Supper is the best meal. The lines are somewhat slow, but not boring. The servers and Mr. Potts mechanically and effi- cently rush people through the serv- ing line. At supper, people tend to eat more leisurely. More jokes, more rumors, more gossip, more informa- tion are spilled over the dinner table ' than food is eaten. After supper, there is play-prac- tice, or dates to be dressed for, or studying, or spontaneous bull ses- sions — for history majors these are bull-geschichte sessions — or card games or intramural games, or study. Bridge is a favorite, or poker. Some people study in the library — talk rather. The g rc )f noise in the library resulted in newspaper article, a poorly attended forum, and many months of training to get used to.

From record play- ers, to radios, from bridge games to skating practice, the dorms are conducive to present fun, not future security through study. There may be telephone pranks — shaving cream fights, water fights, or even half-hearted study. fhe desk is often this busy in the library ■■■■■■■■■■■■I In the afternoons of fall or late spring, many Kappa Sigs congregate around the parking lot of New Dorm for ' fun and fellowship.
