Dorm Dilemma IT V A S ' T II .% I» l» K . II B II B — HI T IT HID Nothing is more griped about, more regimented, and yet more favorably remembered than life in a college dormitory. This fall, the San Sebastian opened its doors wide—they had to open wide- to let in three hundred girls, hut then that's another story. The corridors, which onee were fdled with cadets whistling the Army Air Corps song, were lined this year with telephones and waiting women. After each ring of the phone, there was a short pause, a wild scream, thundering footsteps, and then a low. purring, “Hello, Joe? This is Mary. — Ami if it wasn't Mary it was some other girl equally w illing to talk to Joe—any Joe.

The misses Klizahcth Stewart ami Marian Goodwin, as residence directors, also served as weeping walls for the girls' troubles. Out of student efforts emerged a social com- mittee headed by Rose Irwin, who was assisted by Robert High and Bruce Davis of the men's dorms. The committee staged several dances with varied themes- -a Valentine’s dance, an open house, and a hobby socks tribute to Sinatra.
