'’Tree” Hours Precious for Joe-Soldier College Man ' 11 work and no play if certain!} not the air corps way! For while the men of the ftOlh College Training Detachment study hard. they also find time for a few hours of relaxation on our campus. The social life of the college air crew student is quite different from the “college man in mufti. Classes are over for the T. C. future fivers at 7:30 lights out at 9:00 an hour and a half in which to have a coke at the corner drug store with the coed he met last week. n hour and a half to dance to the juke hox in the “Hillside. to relax in the Commons w ith the student he met at the student army dance last Saturday night, to stroll around the verdant Iowa Teachers campus, an hour and a half of free time a day for the air crew student to have his social life. Hut it on the week-end that the future flyer takes part in the social life of the college most. Three o'clock classes for tin week are over, inspection finished, passes issued, and those men who don't have to walk ofT “gig are free for the weekend: and it seems as though the air crew student's week-end i- the same as any other student's. Rarely has there been a Saturday night which has not seen a student-army party at tin Commons and the air crew men look part in all of them in quantity and quality; Saturday night might also see tin air crew student and a T. C. coed viewing the latest Hollywood epic or dancing at the Electric Park. On Sunday, the air crew student, if he desires, may skip break- fast ami sleep late. But in the afternoon he once more enters into tin social whirl at lea at I .awl her Hall, open house, invitations to dinner, or an «‘veiling dinner date.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ istration ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Administration on Iowa Teachers campus is synonymous with providing for three different groups of people during this year. Almost a thousand students are registered here, and the work of housing, feeding, teaching and planning relaxation for them was a paramount problem before the war. Y ith the winter term, came the additional problem of moving students from Seerley and Hart led to make room for a thousand more people, the Waves, Their coming also meant changing class rooms, change in the food service, and even in Sunday morning chapel service. On alentine’s day. students were told that four hundred army air cadets were coming and that they would move from Seerley and half of Baker; more class rooms were vacated, instructors were changed and more people were being fed in the Commons. In peace times, with no shortage or priority problems to face, this would he a full schedule for any ad- ministration. but war effects great changes, and so the administra- tion of Iowa Teachers has been carrying out a great program, war or no war. ★ ■fir P» 1«
