While College officials are striving to increase
the enrollment to capacity, at the same time they
are neglecting to provide adequate recreation fa
cilities for the 5,000 students already registered in
the College.
Students realize the need of weekend recrea
tion, and therefore All-College Cabinet has appoin
ted a committee to revive Dry Dock. Yet wherever
the committee attempts to rent a building for Dry
Dock on campus, they are politely refused. OF
THE HUNDRED BUILDINGS ON CAMPUS,
NOT ONE WiILL OFFER TO HOUSE DRY DOCK.
This week the committee was forced to ask for
the use of a building in town, and! the vestry of
St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church offered to change
their plans for the Parish House tonight and let
Dry Dock use it for a one night stand. The Parish
House is too small and inconvenient for perma
nent Dry Dock, but the fact that they offered the
use of the House for one night shows more coop
eration from the town than from the College, for
a student affair. .
Several campus buildings havq bpon considered
for Dry Dock. The original Dry Dock, the Sand
wich Shop, Tyill not be available until June be
cause it is used as an NsOT£ dining compions;
the Armory is also under contract with the Navy,
arid Recreation Hall is used on weekends for in
ter sports.. This eliminates all but’one
obvious site for Dry Dock, White Hah.
At present White Hall is reserved for girls only
on Friday and Saturday nights. On the average,
about 25 coeds spend their weekend evenings in
White Hall. Why? Because most coeds date on
Friday and Saturday evenings, and, as much as
they would like to, they can’t take their date s to
White Hall. If White Hall were opened for Dry
Dock, both the girls who do date, and those who
don’t, would be able to take advantage of the re
creational activities.
Yet the one building on campus that could solve
the Dry Dock problem continues to entertain 25
girls while more than a thousand others (and an
equal number of men) are excluded
