Libe Short
On Space
Not only have ffiU 'dfchfrdecF con
ditions affected housing, but also
study rooms,-principally in the li
brary. Miss Clarice Krieg, librar
ian, calls attention to the reference
and reserve rooms. Many students,
searching for available study
rooms, find these quiet and con
venient for doing regular text
studies and correspondence, mak
ing the rooms more crowded than
necessary.
Reserve books shoakMae studied

should be read in1 roorijHJOli--Addi
tional study •*«os»>4.ia.^v*ailjufcle in
room 150, which is'', through the

serve room. The downstages read
ing room, Miss Krieg states, may
be used for general study or writ
ing themes, also there may be va
cancies in the upstairs reserve
room for those with reserve ma
terial or various other material.
Oigaret Receptacles
Upon entering the library, stu
dents should deposit their cigaret
butts in receptacles provided.
This would lesen the janitors’
work.
Assistants Needed
A need for student assistants
has developed within the past few
days. Students interested in
working in the reserve department
on Tuesdays, Thursday, and eve
nings should see either Miss Krieg
in the main office or Miss Markley
in the reserve department.

work that he had hoped to carry

Judson Is
Scene of
Mad Chaos
By BEP McCOURRY
The time was 10:45 p.m. and
most of the girls in Judson house
had retired to each other’s rooms
for an evening gab session and
pre-midnight snack.
Suddenly the calm was broken
by the wild clanging of the fire
alarm. Immediately everyone
dashed madly into the halls. There,
amidst the confusion, they dis
covered that the bell was no
longer ringing. After going back
to their rooms, they were roused a
second time; this time by a con
tinuous clamor.
Girls began running downstairs
—girls in coats, girls in robes,
girls in pajamas . . . girls . . . They
swarmed out. the front door and
milled excitedly on the wide porch.
A few embarrassed fellows who
happened to be calling on dates
were borne out with the scream
ing mob. These chivalrously stood
with their backs to the scene as
the thinly-clad gals poured out.
Then came the crushing mo
ment . . . One bright little girl ex
plained she had accidentally hit
the bell . . . and then, deciding it
was a good idea, continued to ring
it . . . The mob worked quickly
and quietly. It was all over in a
matter of seconds.
At 10:50 p.m. all was quiet
again except for a few forlorn
souls feebly trying to disengage
themselves from the fire escape
whence they had fled in their
fright.

If
Ex-Shackrat
Back After 3
Years in Navy
By MARYAN HOWARD ^
With the typical spirit of all ex
students who for a time have been
denied the privilege of attending
this institution and are asked if
they are glad to be back, Cec
Sharp, DU home from the navy,
said he was “in such a hurry that
I darn near broke my neck get
ting here.’’
Sharp, a BA student, left the
campus in ’42 to join the navy,
and was commissioned an ensign
in supply. He took his naval train
ing at Ohio Wesleyan, University
of Dubuque in Iowa, and at the
Harvard midshipmen’s school.
Overseas, a year and a half, he
spent m6st of the time down in
the Marshalls, although he was
around Pearl Harbor a bit. It was
there that he met another Ore
gonian and fraternity brother, Ray
Leonard, who was a Delta Upsilon
on the campus when he was here.
“I've only been registered
three days but its wpnderful to be
back. I’ve been talking with some
of the fellows and we were wond
ering if the fraternity men could
not get together and talk over the
matter of reopening the houses, so
that we’ll be prepared when they
do. One thing, if the fraternities
were opened it would sure help to
relieve the housing shortage.”
Sharp claims that his naval ser
vice was not very eventful (very
few women on the islands, he
says.) Placed on inactive duty
since his discharge in Long Island,
N.Y., he visited the Emerald
Shack soon after his return. He
once worked on the ad staff.
