Since her seven o'clock class began, our musical roommate wouldn't
sing no more. In fact, she refused
to speak before eleven. However,
she rose and sang in reflected glory
when your slightly delirious columnist received nine letters simultaneously from the army. We hear-
by disclaim   all  responsibility  for
what may follow.

"What ho, let's go over to Keeler! to see our rooms for next
year." Unfortunately several future Keeler residents misunderstood visiting stipulations, with
several raised eyebrows and not a
few shocked leaps for shelter as
a result. From what we hear, only
the first floor was open for inspection and not second. Well,,
.anyhow the rooms are shiningly
and exquisitely neat. There'll come
a day.

No wonder everybody in Sloan is
so confused.. For example, the dance
last Saturday night. Approximately
fifteen dates were left stewing
. downstairs while fifteen girls stewed
over one dress upstairs. The dress
wasn't quite finished, so the harried
girl was hurriedly sewed into it with
all available needles. It's a tough
war.
* *   *
Maybe it isn't such a tough war.
Reports say that the initiation,
held while crossing the equator
in uniform is mere play compared
to the bang-up job done during
freshman week at Keeler during
peacetime.

Emilypostiana: Central girls have
been refused dinner because their
dinner ensembles consisted mainly
of shorts. I suppose food tastes the
same in shorts as in anything else,
if one wants to be practical about
it. We never did find out what the
kids did for dinner.
