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.

STUDIES We occasionally bound ourselves out to that stern trainer of minds, study. The necessity of such dawned upon us when the yellow cards went home, and certain individuals called parents were less than delighted. In order to keep the white card’s report from causing equal furor, we resolved to buckle down and really dig. After all, that’s chiefly why we’re here—so we can leave, robed in black with diploma under our arm and mortar board sitting at a proud angle. The scientific minded among us worked in the new chemistry lab in Burton Gym’s basement. These two are a bit dubious as to the outcome of this endeavor. Play production (Speech 311, 312, 313) kept busy with major productions and arena plays. They painted, built, cut, and hauled to make striking sets foreach pro- duction. Drama and speech students got a real taste of do-it-yourself for the days to come. Construction of a different kind was going on else- where in the building in the home economics labora- tory. From the elementary steps to some fancy tailoring these home ec girls pack away valuable knowledge for a career in the home or in the working world. Education is a popular major; more people come within its sphere of influence than with any other de- partment. Its final step is student teaching. Gail Dod- son directs an eighth-grade class in a discussion of slavery. These business advocates work on that speed that will help them land a high-paying job. ‘Teaching its students to operate new kinds of machines is a welcome contribution of the business department. All roads lead ultimately to Crisman Memorial Library, whether for studying, magazine reading, or working on research papers. Mary Glenn Mason, refer- ence librarian, checks the card catalog for correct alpha- betizing. Worthy though the intentions, it looks as though things got slightly out of hand. But what can you expect on a bright spring day with that Special Some- one nearby? There are times when political science just doesn’t meet the need ... and Plato has been dead such a long time... .
