MRS. HOUSEHOLDER ' S OF- FICE, a cross between Rube Gold- burg ' s Swap Shop and Grand Central Station. CAMPUS Did it ever occur to you that there might have been something that you missed last year? For example; did you know that Henry Hall holds the room-jam record for the State of Michigan. I didn ' t think you would. Really though, there are some serious things on campus that some of us might not realize exist. We are all acquainted with such things as tlie hitching hne and the Union, but what about Betty House- holder ' s office downstairs in the Student Center? Mrs. Householder is the Assistant Dean of Women and Social Director for all student functions. Her office bears a striking resemblance to Rube Goldburg ' s Swap Shop and Grand Central Station in New York. Mrs. Householder can answer absolutely any ques- tion you might put to her; how do I organize a club? where can I hire a band? how can I get a poster printed? are some samples of every day occvurences.

■« Another little publicized place is the Student Offices, located next to Mrs. Householder ' s office in the Stu- dent Center. This is the place where you can find the duly elected officials of the campus, such as the Student Council President or the Men ' s Union Board President. One can never be sure exactly what will happen next in the Student Offices. Some of the assorted, but rather typical, activities include a mimeograph service and an insurance salesman. TEACHER MAY I. Actually these hands are all that are left of some 400 men that filled a dorm room to capture the state wide room-jam championship. COKE DATES in the Union are very popular; probably because the whole affair only costs 20 cents. THE HITCHING LINES help to make Western one of the friend- liest universities in the nation.
