ln spite of the ever-present emphasis on classes and careers, Simmons girls still find time to sink into the familiar green leather chairs in the Lounge and run out for a candy har at Showcase. VVhile a few stop to admire the display of college banners, the familiar cry of VVhat have you got to eat? rings in the halls. For every one who has the ambition and the energy to make thc four-flight climb to the library, there's another who is cramming hastily for an exam in the butt room or in a Vacant class room on the first floor. The traditional twelve o'clock rush in the cafeteria always finds a line of hungry people waiting for their chance at the food. In the early fall and late spring, the back steps are a favorite haunt of professors and students, smoking and chatting. On sunny days, the lawn is covered with sun-worshippers and outdoor classes. lNIeet me at Info! is t.he cry that jams the front hall with time-conscious students.

Right next door, you can find books, bags, and butts in the Simmons College Cooperative Store, otherwise known as the Book Store. Upstairs, the first-floor traffic comes to a stop at the note board as students gather to pick up mail, invitations, and an occasional summons.
