They used Indian decorations in their rooms, Time was when they learned Indian ' songs and dances. They became adept at rolling l out a rhythmic heat from the Indian tom-tom , that became a conspicuous feature of football , games and other noisy occasions.

Y 4 i , V Y Rodey Hall and, after all, only a power house. But when, in 1907, two small dormitories were built, a storm of criticism burst, and raged about these two buildings in a fury that not even the Southwestern elements themselves could produce. Self-appointed critics wrangled, made merry, and waxed bitter, as people always do at an innovation. But travellers and artists came, looked and approved ...... And Dr. Tight went on building. In 1908, the old Administration hall was remodeled, and in 1909, was completed the Assembly hall, the last of the Pueblo buildings to be erected, for in that year came a change of administration, followed not long after by the death of the man who had conceived the plan ot the Pueblo University. In all, six Pueblo buildings stand upon the University campus, the power house, the two dormitories, the Administration hall, the Assembly hall, and the Kiva, a small council chamber built by one of the fraternities. Dr. Tight's home, now il fraternity house, was placed just outside the campus. Unlike their Indian prototypes, which are built mostly of adobe, the college buildings are constructed of brick and coated with cement. All show unity of design and yet each is different. All but the power house and the Kiva form a part of the originally planned communal structure, and though the whole would have made the greater picture, yet each part, with its approaches of cottonwood and tamarack trees, and its background of mesa sand, distant mountains, and .vivid Southwestern sky, is a picture in itself. Of the two dormitories, the men 's is the more picturesque, for it forms a corner of the imaginary rectangle and thus presents more contrast in light and shade. It is known as Kwataka, which means man-eagle. Its name is traced in rough.-cast over the entrance, and its symbol is pa.inted in the original Indian colors upon an outer wall. Over the entrance to the women 's building is the word Hokona'f-''butterfly-maiden''-and a highly conventionalized butterfly motif forms its symbol. The parlors of Hokona are V - '- decorated with true Indian designs that represent the creation of 1 1 7, ,V 'WW yr lil K, 4 li... li..1., I, at 4 ,'. 1 ' 4. ., U - Q the sun, the moon, the stars, the rain-cloud, the lightning, and the ' -- ,f rainbow, and, lastly, of the butterfly-maiden and the great man- W nw eagle. The Administration building, three stories in height, is imposing, f G N J' with its austere walls and deeply recessed porches and entrances.
