out that the question of Sunday
movies has caused much com
ment by students of the College.
He explained that the student in
terest in this issue is due mainly
to the fact that Sunday movies
would provide recreational facili
ties that have been urgently
needed with expansion of our
school.
"We feel that the showing of
Sunday movies would •greatly re
lieve the problem of insufficient
recreation since there are large
numbers of independent students
both on and off campus with no
means of diversion on Sunday
afternoons," continued Lannen.
"With the crowded post-war
conditions and mental tension it
is felt that the need for Sunday
movies as a means of mental re
laxation has become an apparent
need," the letter concluded.

anywhere on the campus and they
should be used, he said. It detracts
from the appearance of the cam

of keeping the students off the
grass wasn't so great." said Mr.
Ebert. "Then. upperclassmen car
ried whistles and when they saw
a lower classman crossing the
lawn they blew the whistle at
him. It was a fairly effective meth
od of policing."
