DORM LIFE. « WOMEN One of the knottiest of civili- ' zation’s problems is how to get two women, with everything from bobby pins to ironing boards in tow, into so few square feet which have already been occupied by two beds, two airs, a dresser, and a desk. For the freshmen in Sewell Hall it seems particularly puz- aling. For upperclass girls, whose domain is Johnson Hall, - it never improves with the number of times one tries it. Yet no matter how crowded a room may have seemed, there’s always room for it to be- come more densely populated. Most any night somebody would bring out the hot plate, coffee and cookies and gather on beds, chairs, or the floor for . laughing good time. A tidy room is often hard to find but occasionally one hap- pens to chance on such an odd- ity. We could almost guess that Louisa and Gayle not only are posing themselves but prepared their room so it could pose— clean. Here come the boys! A bevy of beauteous lassies sneak an elevated peek at their favorite prospects. Johnson’s central lo- cation makes this possible from all sides. The shower’s the thing—but were sure Martha Sue McClain didn’t mean for us to see that so vividly. A shower early before the hot water leaves, a steady thud of water, and a shower soprano — that’s dorm life.

DORM LIFE «e MEN On the campus’ northern border stands Elam Hall, home of firecrack- ers and the Dorm Council. On the old side the freshmen get a taste of on-campus life while the old masters o f such things live in upperclass style in the newer part of the building. Tradition is a big part of things here. For instance, the traditional Rook game with scores of observers. We happened in on this lively bunch one evening and merely clicked the shutter—it’s completely unposed! Then there's the traditional shower treatment for those who get them- selves engaged. Kerry McClain may get the waterworks, but he'll go down fighting. Somebody's always got some kind of twanging instrument and with little effort the Poo-Poo chorus is re- vived. Sing it pretty, boys. In the swing of tradition is the Coke machine which always keeps your money and the refreshments. These men mean to “Have a Coke” if it means using a screwdriver.
