Alpha Gamma Coeds (Continued from page one) that we’re in Gamma and Alpha.” Most of the conversation on moving day Tuesday centered around the well-worn question, “Which one are you in—Gamma or Alpha?” Located next door to each oth er at the north end of the men’s dorm, these two kails have com pletely “gone feminine” as far as personal possessions and the girls, themselves, are concerned. According to another dorm girl, “The wash tub on the first floor of Alpha is now doing the work of six of its brothers in the basement of Hendricks, but the consensus of opinion seems to be that things aren’t half bad.” No Inter-Dorm Dance; Cause: Lack of Men Because the small number of men in the dormitories this term, the spring term inter-dorm dance, originally scheduled for May 7, has been cancelled. Marie Nichols, chairman of the affair, stated that the committee gave up the dance since they didn’t think it was worthwhile to put on the affair for so few stu dents.

Sailors have taken over the drama department in an advisory capacity and rehearsals are well under way for a May production of the musical comedy “Hit the Deck.” This was just part of the news in a bulky letter from Bob Forsyth, former Oregon student, —— wno was in the first contingent leaving this campus for Shep pard Field, Texas, five weeks ago and who has just landed in Min neapolic along with other Ore gon cadets for University train ing. Bob thinks Minneapolis is fine and it’s “quite a distance from Texas, thank God!’’ Iioys at Home Uniforms swarm all over the Minnesota campus and the boys in them are made to feel at home. People have gone all out for the military boys, says Bob. Parties, dances, entertainments of all kinds are the order of the day. The air corps students are quartered in the football stadium in the space beneath the stadium seats. It’s quite nice, says this former Oregon boy, and above all it's free from Texas dust. Five Months The men will be at Minnesota for five months taking a pre scribed course in history, basic math, trigonometry, English, geography, physics, physical edu cation, drill, and first aid. They arise at 6 a.m., breakfast at 6:30 attend classes from 7:30 to 4:30, have retreat from 4:30 to 5, dine at 5:30, with a recreational pe riod following from 6:30 to 7:30. Supervised study period is held from 7:30 to 10, with lights out at 10:30. Weekends are free for the boys to do as they desire. Hard Schedule It’s a strenuous schedule, writes Bob, but he’s glad that he signed up with the air corps outfit. The officers are “nice Joes,” and they go out of their way to be cour teous and see that their men are comfortable and well fed. This former architecture and art student is particularly im pressed by the many lovely and modern buildings on the Univer sity of Minnesota campus. “With such surroundings the next five months won't be hard to take," he wrotes, “even though the studies are going to require hard digging.” New under-arm Cream Deodorant safely Stops Perspiration / / / A V 1.
