UUn HOUSE Hamlin House will hear the echoes of male voices resounding through its corridors for the lost time in June. After almost two years, the dorm will be handed over to the girls for whom it was originally built. Hal Morkarian, house president, really made the dorm livable. Before he was in office a month he had the center opened and fur- nished for the fellows ' comfort. Previous to this time it hod been closed for lack of furnishings. Leo Kilcoyne and Wimpy Fairburn, social chairmen, supervised two popular dances, one in November and one in January. The various girls ' dorms on campus were well represented at both of these successful affairs.
