yVlen UNION Men's Union, the organization for all men on the campus, spon- sored for the first time this year a Men's Orientation Program. Features of this program were talks given by President Latham, Dean Reed, and Dr. Bosley; explorations by small groups into the Drama Shop, the Publications, Music, and Science Departments, and the Heat- ing Plant; and general advising by upperclass men. In the fall, a Men's Play Day was held at the Men's Gymnasium. Class supremacy in pie-eating, kittenball, three-legged racing, balloon bursting, wheel-barrowing, sucker-sucking, and peanut racing were the features of the day. Dad's Day, an annual event sponsored by the Men's Union, was held October 31. Approximately five hundred Dads were honored at a luncheon, football game, open-houses, and coffees. Men's Union also helped in planning for Homecoming, which was November 13. A Men's Union dinner was held in the Commons February 4 to aid in establishing closer friendship and loyalty among the men on the campus. May 1 found the Commons the scene of the Farmer's Frolic , the annual Men's Union dance where students frolicked in gingham dresses and overalls.

President Latham's dinner parties for campus leaders and for football and band men, as well as Homecoming activities and the annual Women's League and Men's Union dinners crowded the fall calendar. Sunday afternoon leisure time hours, the Christmas Carol Service and the Christmas Supper Party, with the Senior Prom, the Washington Ball, the Old Gold Beauty Dance and the Inter-sorority and Inter-fraternity dances sand- wiched in between Tutor Tickler practices made the Commons a busy place during the winter season. Announcement of lectures, teas, dinners, dances, style shows and committee meetings where something else was being hatched have filled the Bulletin Board this spring. Soon the terrace will be bedecked with gay chairs and um- brellas for the joy of summer students. The Line when it wasn't crowded The Georgian Lounge Miss Works, tho director of the Commons
