Lembke Hall Men,s Dormitory PROFESSOR H. H. KUMNICK Heddmmfer Lights burned in only one Wing of Lembke Hall this year because of the war-time ratio, but intensified in this half was all the bull-sessioning that ever preceded 1944. The pine-walled suite of Professor and Mrs. Kumnick remained the pivot of any Lembkeites dorm life. And let no one forget George, the complacent, candy-loving Kum- nick dog. Altruria Hall VVomenE Dormitory DR. VERA T. HAHN Director The expectant chatter at the mailboxes, the friendly gather- ing in the candyskitchen where ration points are pooled, the formality of a Sunday afternoon tea in the balconied reception roomithis is Altruria Hail.

Ojfice H our: 24 Holiday Hours Parties and Picnics Gracious, gentle-voiced Mrs. S. D. Heidbrink, University social director, finds her oHice a eatCh-all for school problems. She knows Where to fmd the red crepe paper from last yeafs Valentine party and What to do about a weeping roommate. And shess as competent at spraying Christmas trees White for a party at the gym or scooping out potato salad at a dunes picnic, as she is at curing a tWO-Weeks-new freshman of homesickness. Although ssSoss has been here only four years, her niche in student committees and in the University family is as firmly fixed as Student Bridge is in campus traditions.

Penetrating addresses by men who are both Christians and scholars . . . worshipecom- pelling music of organ, instrument, and voice . darkened auditorium stage transformed into candlelit have with altar and lectern . . . a quiet quarter-hour passed in solitary medita- tion and prayer . . . Sunday mornings spent in the hearing of Gods Word from the lips of the ministers oins teaching, and weekdays spent in Christian fellowship . . . thus daily and weekly the currents of university life merge into focus as its students train their eyes to follow the Light. Daily matinsJ weekly divine services at the university church, and the solace of the dormitory chapel at any hour are making the Christian university increasingly unique among the nationts institutions of higher education.
