A coed supervisor approaches an athlete with his feet sprawled on a sofa cushion: Please, l wish you wouldn't do that, she ad- monishes. Do what? queries the D-man. Your feet, declares the supervisor, as she grasps the athletes feet and puts them on the floor, are used to walk on the floor and not on the sofa. And, by the way, as she starts toward another erring student, you might try using an ashtray. The basement of Carnegie Hall is given over to the cafeteria, soda fountain, Y. M. C. A., and Powder Puff room. Don't you just hate gym? questions a Gamma Phi, as she wipes a streak of lipstick on the wall beside the mirror in the Powder Puff room. Hate isn't the word, answers a Kappa Delta as she fluffs an unruly curl into place. I just can't stand the stuff. But I've got to go from now on. The Dean sent me a note saying that I had the limit in 'cuts.' Run along then, sweetly intones the Gamma Phi. l'm going to finish my primping and go have a 'coke.' With whom? With Gene, of course. Oh, with Gene. W-e-l-l, so-long. I'll see you at the dance tonight. The gymnasium, quite like a squarely- blocked hat with its eaves forming two brims fastened around the outside of the crown, bounds the eastern section of the Arts campus. The showers and the dressing-rooms are com- parable to discarded packing cases which have been partitioned into the necessary number of rooms. And the gymnasium floors, constructed of planking selected from lumber dumps, is the scourge of basketball players. As the seasons change, the buildings, echo- ing to the tempo of the l936 generation of col- legians, pulse to a different beat. ln the winter, the campusites meet in Carnegie Hall, but the buildings are more or less forgotten dur- ing the fall, spring, and summer months, when the scene of student activities shifts to the cam- pus square in front of Mayo Hall. O After the Kedros tapping, a few students gathered outside of the Chapel to congratulate the new Kedros pledges. Others, standing in 0170 TREES DRESS FOR CAMPUS SEASONS .XG-P Y . f .. l 42 -,,.-ad'

Mild explosions have occurred when some over-zealous students, seeking to produce a panacea for man's ills, overtaxes the strength of a flask fastened over a Bunsen burner. What do you say to a game of bridge over at Carnegie? asks a student, as he tries to wash the chemical stains frorn his hands, All right, I'll meet you just as soon as I get through here, replies a chemistry companion, as he stacks his apparatus into a locker drawer. Carnegie Hall, which at one time contained the library of the University and the knowledge of scholars, now contains the recreation facili- ties for students and their various confidences Whispered there as they gather to while away leisure hours. The upstairs of Carnegie Hall is divided into two sections, one includes the lounge and the other incloses the dance floor. Here students played bridge, gossiped, danced, and lounged around on the couches to such an extent that their afore mentioned activities resulted in the installation of student supervisors.

CAMPUS CRITICS COMMENT . . . on Kedtos selections. AS SHEEP TO THE SLAUGHTER . . . go student-voters to P the ballot box during spring elections. BENNY RATES THE GALS small groups on the Chapel steps, argued as to whether Kedros had chosen the best qualified women in the University. Much was said con- cerning the selection of new members not being equal to that of past years. However, as the time for class neared, the students quit their discussions, only to continue whispering, in class, about the poor selection that Kedros made. It was 'lousy, declares Desmond Hacke- thal. What do you think about those girls? Why, I never even seen one of them before. They certainly missed some of the out- standing women in the school. Who do they take in anyhow, only those who have A's? whispers Bernice Iennings. I Around University Hall, students occasion- ally hold informal discussions as to whether the tuition of the University is too high, or whether they will be able to graduate. My, I just found out that I was short two grade points, says Mary Elizabeth Bailey. Why don't you see 'Pete' Nelson? asks Orme Hering, as he takes her arm. He'll help you. Where do you think I've been for the past hour? .replies Mary Elizabeth, angrily. I was just wondering. You're sure it was the registrar? Silly, of course, it was 'Pete.' I In front of the Mayo Hall veranda, one of the Kynewisbok photographers found three Coeds warming up to the bearskin coats worn by Paul Timm and Charles Bennett. Is this big enough for two? asks Doris Cummings, as she tries to unbutton Paul Tirnm's coat.- No, this was made from a little bear, and it just fits me. Well tailored, isn't it? ' Yes, declares Anna Mary Lee. lt looks as if some moths did an excellent job. Moth nothing, this coat was bought at an expensive furriers. Eh, Bennett? says Paul Timm. Expensive is right, replies Bennett. I didn't think that that Larimer Street broker was going to knock off five for the moth holes. Meanwhile Helen Catlett vigorously probes a moth hole in Bennett's coat lapel with the result, Get your finger out of there, says Charles, as he slaps her hand. 0180
