THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
104 Old Main
One of the reasons for the de
lay in women's housing is thee,
mix-up over sorority housing
earlier this semester, Kline said.
The Department of Housing
originally planned to cut sor
ority spaces to 25. When Pan
hellenic Council protested their
decision in March, housing
' agreed to let the sororities
have as many spaces as they
can fill each year.
independent women will be
able to keep the rooms they
lived in this year, Kline said,
even if their plans interfere with
a sorority's. He said any reason
'able request for independent wo
men to live together would be
granted.
' Assignment slips will be mailed
as soon as physically possible, he
said. He also said he did not now
know if any women would have
to live in residence hall lounges
at the beginning of the semester.
Women who will be freshmen
next year were assigned rooms
before women who will be up
perclasswomen. but men who
will be upperclassmen received
assignments before men who
will be freshmen.
The drawing for men's rooms
were held in March, and for wo
men's rooms, shortly after Easter.
'The men's drawing was held first,
Kline said, because men are not
required to live in the residence
'halls and they may change their
minds after they have applied.
The earlier date gives the Room
Assignment Office more time to
adjust difficulties.

375 Seniors
Join Alumni
Association
A total of 375 seniors have
joined the Alumni Association
and the senior class gift drive
has collected $425.
An additional $75 has been
pledged to the gift drive, John
Bott, drive chairman, said.
Seniors can contribute to both
the Alumni Association and the
gift drive up to and after grad
uation. Seniors may join the as
sociation before graduation at al
special membership price of $2.
The collection of books by con
temporary American writers for
the Pattee Library leads in the
votes for the class gift. About
290 of the 500 postcards returned
have this suggestion checked.
The collection would be namedi
"Class of 1959 Pattee Collection
of Contemporary American Lit
erature" and would be commemor-,
ated by a plaque in the lobby of
the library.
The other two suggestions are:
•A religious studies collection
for the Pattee Library containing
such works as copies of the Dead
Sea Scrolls and histories of orien
tal religions.
sA set of reference books for
each residence hall unit.
Joum 17 Final
Will Be 'Picnic'
Students in one section of Jour

most enjoyable final examination
of the semester.
H. Eugene Goodwin, director of
the School of Journalism and an
instructor in the course, has in
vited the 16 students in his sec
tion to his home for an informal
dinner May 28.
Goodwin made the invitation
with one stipulation. In order to
get the dinner, the students must
present a 500-word essay criticiz
ing current news values.
"If you want to get a good
grade in this course," Goodwin
added, "you'll have to praise my
wife's cooking."

Splish, Splash,
They Weren't
Taking a Bath
Some of the students living ini
McKee Hall are all wet. At least
they were last :light.
A water battle, which began
yesterday afternoon and lasted
until late last night, brought
many to the front windows of
the building, but few to the court
; yard below,
Water-filled plastic bags, card
board containers, cups, and paper
bags supplied the ammunition for
the troops high in the McKee
garrison.
Down below was a band of
'renegades who, clad in bathing
suits, defied the marksmanship
of their opponents by running
back and forth between the court
and the protection of the build
ing. Each foray brought a rain
of water down from all sides.
"Try it again," you chickens!"
came the cry from above.
"What are you using to fling
those things, a lacrosse stick?
retorted one below.
There then would follow al
splash, an unprintable oath, andi
a roar of laughter.
It was a hot night.
