Chapel Held In Schwab On Sunday _ Each Sunday a non-denomina tional chapel service is held at 10:55 a.m. in Schwab Auditorium. It is supported by the University and attended on a voluntary basis. ■ The beginning of the Chapel services was in 1894 when the Rev. Lawrence M. Colfelt, D.D., was appointed the first official Chaplain of the University. Pre vious to his appointment it had been customary to depend upon the services of preachers living within accessible distances of the University.

STATE COLLEGIA 'Old-timer Recalls Customs Completion This year Freshman Customs have received many a change, and the incoming freshmen are very happy about the changes. But, really, they don’t realize how much fun they will be missing with these more lenient customs. Remember the old customs regulation that said freshman men. and women shall have no asso ciation with members of the op posite sex within a three-mile ra dius of Old Main? It used to be fun to walk beside a member of the opposite sex and pretend you were not talking, when you hon estly were. Talking was easy , once you mastered the art of getting audible sounds' out of your mouth without moving your lips. Who knows how many students went on to ventriloquism after customs! - Talking and Phone Calls Being able to speak to members of the opposite sex during customs also had its other drawbacks. It might affect the phone call rate in the dormitories. Remember, upperclasswomen, the phone calls you received from the male students who brought the things from home which you forgot? They couldn’t talk to you, so they had to call you. It was nice to have your name called out for a phone call, wasn’t- it? It made you feel a little more popular. ■ Remember Gripes? And this new idea of being able to date the first weekend at the University what will the new frosh be able to gripe about. Re member the gripe sessions you upperclasswomen had that first weekend? You just knew that dreamy, boy would have called you for a date, but he didn’t want to make you break customs. That was the time you probably learned JUST FOR YOU!

Besides the dating customs changes, a few other things have been changed. Now both men and women will be wearing dinks. You won’t be able to tell them apart. Those little (?) ribbons the girls used, to wear in their hair were so cute. And about the second week of customs the bows were so limp and bedraggled that they just took to the curve of your head. You began to feel that.ydu had grown an extra' piece of hair. And what will the upperclass students be able to call the frosh now that the color has been changed from green to blue. ‘Greenies’ has come to be a part of the standard vocabulary,’ but who' ever heard of calling fresh men' ‘blueies?’ All in all customs certainly aren’t what they-used to be.
