LOGAN ' S AT THE GATEWAY OF THE CAMPUS 9 Shopping at Logan ' s has been an Ohio University tradition for twenty years For Booi .s, Supplies, and Gifts, students always go to Logan ' s. LOGAN ' S ATHENS, OHIO 18 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR ORIGINALITY DEMANDED Sir: Originalify in o college annual is unusual. When LIFE magazine was chosen as the theme for the 1938 ATHENA, it was a step in the right direction, away from the stereotyped forms snatched from the files of previous years. Now oil you hove to do is create on ATHENA motif that LIFE will copy. HAROLD SAMUELS 99 OUT OF 100 Sir: I am looking forward eogerly to the forthcoming issue of the ATHENA, as I understand you are presenting candid studies of every faculty member at Ohio University. Has this ever been done before? TED BUCZK Until the 1938 ATHENA, individual pictures of faculty members were not used. The 1938 ATHENA was successful in photographing candidly and informally every member of the foculty with one exception See page 25. — Editor. LESS NOISE, PLEASE During the past few weeks several inmates of the Men ' s Union have come to me complaining of the noises that come from the ATHENA office late at night. They report that typewriters are clicking by the hour, woter runs continuously, radio is too loud — in general, there is too much activity in the office when civilized people should be in bed. I trust that you will take core of this matter so that the house members may get some sleep, CARL MALLOW Men ' s Union NEW ENGLANDER COMMENTS S.r; A friend of mine who is a student at Ohio University writes that the theme of this year ' s ATHENA will be built around LIFE magazine. I am indeed sorry to hear this, for I thought you would use as a theme the Sesqui- Centenniol Celebration of the Northwest Territory. As you probably know, the group that retraced the steps of the pioneers started out from Ipswich, Massochusetts, a city in my home state. However, in view of the fact that the pioneer train is coming through Athens, we are looking forward to seeing several photographs relating to the expedition in the book. RACHEL FLETCHER Chicopee, Massachusetts Serious consideration was given to the use of the Sesqui- Centennial as a theme. However, we felt that the LIFE theme hod more possibilities. — Editor. WANTS SPOTLESS BOOK Sirs: If I remember correctly, o few years ago the ATHENA published several spicy pictures in the froternity and sorority sections. These photographs were met with disapproval by many of the readers including yours truly. Please give us on A- 1 , spotless yearbook. DOROTHY GLAZIER PAGING MR. COOPER Dear Sir: The 1 938 ATHENA is to be commended for the method used in making this year ' s beauty selections. It is without a doubt much foirer than the contests of previous years, when retouched photographs were sent to Hollywood where the third secretary of some screen star mode the selections.
