at U jcVl Normal life is difficult to achieve under the tran- sient conditions of constant turnover of faculty, stu- dents, and personnel in general. The Navy invasion of such great magnitude, the constant leaving of students for the service, the furlough visits of old students — make it very hard to stick to the job at hand. To our mind the college student of today who realizes the worth of a mind that is trained, and who sticks to grasping the tools of learning as long as possible is aiding the future pros- pects of the war eifort. Nevertheless, however serious, the scholastic tone, the C. U. student has managed to maintain his ' joie de vivre ' . In spite of bond drives. Red Cross classes, and library grinding interspersed between them, he finds time for his gun. He has made use of his ingenuity, his feet, and campus facilities to make the social side of life extremely enjoyable. 13 WMtlwr SMHt U H. T i U at fio. r.f J ., e tunin g te |OpO U.

However, the contrary is the case. The war has made profound and kaleidoscopic changes in campus life. The changes, while not acceptable to many, have served on the whole to raise the caliber of the college student. In this day and age the student rarely comes to college for four years of fun and frivolity. The cam- pus wags have been left by the wayside. The student today comes to realize, and train himself to cope with, the problems of living. The student has been thrown on his own resources more than ever before both mentally and socially. But the joy of college days has not in the least been impaired by present conditions. The student has accustomed himself to comparative regimentation, ra- tioning, and restrictions ... he has accepted and worked at the new scheme of things. 12 fg HfS ' ! toy r ■ N feS: IN THIS NEWSTAPE ' J ; ERV 1CES or TH« , llRITU ■- . , WTOK WOKLD PHOTOS AND TW WgWS DAY AND M rcOAST

S J: tR!ng The Spring of ' 43 was the last of the Mohicans . . . then came the greatest invasion since the Huns. On June 30th, 1943, the University of Colorado went nautical. The Navy moved in with everything but the ocean, and the civilian population slunk around ' yes, sirring ' every- one from the Captain to the bus boys in Wayne ' s. The school teachers and playboys moved to Boulder from the four corners for C. U. ' s notorious summer school and found concentrated larnin ' the order of the day. Life went frustratingly vice versa, women moved into the fraternity houses and the men moved six deep into the single rooms of the Women ' s Dorm. Sailors were squeezed into every nook and cranny in Boulder. Instead of swimming, the campus cuties displayed their nether limbs in the pattern of irrigation ditches on the Quadrangle. Boulder ' s one hot spot, the nautical hangout, the Anchorage, raised the temperature a degree or two when the Chi Psis moved next door and installed l-i r 2-aL!Sg ,?,w5|.
