■ i Iy, is apparent when the reader
‘begins to consider that the plot is
universal in this appeal; Every
iT.untry at war can project itself
into the place of the village which
was occupied. The problems dis
cussed are not directed to one par
ticular locality, nor to one race of
') isople in a given country; they
are problems that are and have
been confronting the world today.
This intrinsic quality made “The
' Moon Is Down.” one of the most
'popular war novels of World War
H, and a “best seller” for many
h nonths.
Co-recreationaJ activities are
coming into the limelight again in
'VARA events. The great success
that co-reo hikes, swimming par
ties, and White Hall open houses
enjoyed last summer proved that
they were really important on
campus.
At the WRA board meeting
Thursday evening, plans were
made for a co-rec. hike to the
WSGA cabin on February 21. The
bike will include supper at the
cabin.

their side, and let’s hope that wom
en at the down town dorms will
respond as well when the plan
■goes into-effect for them Monday.
