As student registration took another long glide down, particu larly in number of men students enrolled, Mrs. Turnipseed con cluded it would be advisable to close Zeta and' move the students living there to another hall. The majority of Zeta men, approxi mately 28, were moved to Ome ga hall. Others went to halls of their own preference. Emerald House . Emerald house, opened last fall term for the overflow of dormi tory girls, was also closed after registration, since 24 dormitory girls had moved out after rush week leaving sufficient room for the 13 Emerald house occupants. Dormitory students will have an opportunity to sleep later on Saturday this term and still have breakfast, it was decided when the food committee met with Magk Turnipseed and Miss Helen Goodenow, dormitory dietitian. New Breakfast Plan According t)c> the new plan, breakfast will be served from 8:15 to 9 o’clock Saturday as it is on Sunday. For students who must eat earlier because of jobs or other reasons, the breakfast line will be open for 15 minutes be ginning at 7:30 Saturday morn ings.
