EARLY IN THE MORNING students are seen hurrying up the walk or hopping off a bus trying to make that eight-thirty elass. Tliis is an espeeially diffieult feat for the eoed who stayed up late the night before — studying, of eourse. A probable laek of break¬ fast and the steady grind till 12:05 are the major eauses for the sudden bursting open of elassroom doors and the head-on rush for the eafeteria. Here the dorm girls oeeupy front seats, the men run a elose seeond, and the belated day students trudge a little farther back. However, campus life really begins about 2:20 when most of the classes arc out and students gather on the front steps or trek over to Lloyd’s for a Yoke.” I lere they hash out the present world situa¬ tion, the latest faculty gossip, or the reason for that C-minus grade.

One of the most exeiting games was between the senior women, who held the intramural hoekey ehampionship for three years, and the sophomores. After a fieree and raging battle, the sophs won, 2 to 1, and went on to defeat the juniors and eop the 1941 ehampionship. Athletie prowess among these sophomores does not seem to be eonfined to the women. x nother e ’ent of purely loeal interest oe- enrred when the sophomore ' ' Bears” de¬ feated the freshman Redskins” to win the toneh football ehampionship of the sehool. A break in the regular sehednle eame with the State deaehers Meeting, when sehool was dismissed a half-day early and we en¬ joyed a “long” week-end.
