West
Thompson Hall,, once characterized by the tramp Of masculine
feet, the whirr of electric razors, and the quiet of studious males,
lias 'become, as the whole campus knows, the domain of 432 fresh-
man coeds.
The sudden upheaval ,of peace in the West Dorm, area was par
ticularly noticeable in Thompson
•When customs reigned and re
sulted in turmoil. ,
Charleston
Suddenly phones began a con
stant ringing, and alarms buzzed
simultaneously at 7 a.ni. Puzzled
females searched for letter slots
in the modern mail boxes, and
worried about ever-present black
marks. Room' furniture - was • re
arranged, ' serenade and guitar
groups appeared frequently, and
long lines formed in the laundry
room! -
Groans of “Where is a full
length* mirror? I can’t see -my
feet!” “Is there any radio station
besides-WMAJ?” and “Did I get
a phone . call?” wrought havoc
with quiet hours. Birthday par
ties and gab feasts, “charleston
ing” in the halls, endless hours
of waiting for the 11 .o’clock .mail
delivery,, and the order of “Pull
down' those shades, girls!” grad
ually found a.place in the routine
of Thompson life.
Lucky Men
There were counselor Meetings,
cheer practices for. the Boston .U.
game, and .quick trips to the
Lion’s Den for a mid-study-snack.
Signs proclaiming “Girl Wanted”
appeared in the windows of Ham
ilton Hall.
Gradually now, normalcy is re
turning. The transition has been
accepted and men in the remain
ing West Dorms consider them
selves an especially" privileged’
group as coeds mar the former
sanctity of the West Dorm Din

harmful to college football.. lu
lus letter, Branscomb calls for the
elimination of unlimited substi
tutions that result in a boy’s
being trained for one play-or one
type of play. He calls .this a spe
cialization foreign to the amateur
spirit.
Finally, Branscomb : asks . for
elimination of special funds for
current athletic support, whether
contributed from race tracks,■
downtown quarterback clubs, or
alumni.
So the moye is on for a de-em
phasis even' if nothing concrete
has been done by any of the
intercollegiate football associa
tions. One thing is cjear: in light
of the recent sport-world scan
dals, especially the Army affcSr,
college football is in for a . re
examination.
As far as we are concerned, the
revolution oh the football 1 field
points the way to a saner, less'
commercial operation of one of
America’s favorite sports.
Dean Attends Meeting
Dr. Grace Henderson, dean of
the . School- of. Home Economics,
attended ‘the , meeting of the
American Council of Education in

The conference on- “Women in
the t Defense Decade” included a
discussion on what , women’s at
titudes aind activities should be
