Miss 'llate stressed the need ol' sensible diets this yearg she oilered special sample meals and urged students to eat wisely and not too well. A student Lunchroom Committee worked with her on the problem ol' filth-hour crowds. The Lunchroom held its usual lascination this ycarg eating remains one ol' the lavorite Simmons sports. The Simmons Cooperative Bookstore, which is practically never called that, absorbs the extra nickels and dimes ol'Simmons girls. It's a mad place at the beginning olieach semester, when it is besieged by hundreds ofstudents all trying to buy all their books lor all their courses at once, Hardened Seniors quail before this experience: some have been known to skip their first lew assign- ments rather than attempt to buy books during the Hrst week ol the term. But except lor these briefperiocls, the Bookstore is one ol the pleasantest spots in the building. Mrs. Bradstreet, Mrs. Carle- ton, and MI'S. Butler are always ready to suggest a special gilt. Stock changed quickly, keeping a lew steps ahead of the seasons, even though certain goods were unavailable this year. Metal trays and dishes disappeared, nylon stockings were replaced by rayon and cotton, and woolen socks by Aralac. An entire new line ol stationery and gifts designed lor men in the service was intro- duced. XN'ith its Nlexican plates, unique knitting bags, new ker- chiefs, socks, and, ofcourse, its books, the Coop is a grand place lor browsing and window-shopping de luxe.
