New Dorm Design For Easy Comfort By Bill Clothier They’ll never have it so good. From where we’re sitting, the new women’s dormitory appears to be the answer to a fair maiden’s dream. This coming campus Utopia for la jeune fille will accommodate about 333 coeds. One could aspire to nothing higher and more satis fying than to live in the new dor mitory, unless she wanted to be come a figure in park avenue’s select circle. At the last reading “Park Avenue” was still located diagonally across the street from vet's dorm number 1. Actually, you could find nothing there that could not be found in larger quantity in the new dormi tory. Possibly they have “well lighted bathrooms offering both tub and shower facilities where a coed may wash her hair, using the spray hose provided for the pur pose. Or a hair drier which saves valuable time for study.” But can the Park avenue model perform her—ah—house work in ing the men from the women m the John Straub area. This can be either good or bad, depending on how you look at it. To be entirely fair about the whole thing, 166.5 of the new dorm should be allotted to the young ladies, and 166.5 to the young men. Why should the female of the spe cie get all the best things in life? Did anyone ever ask a vet’s dor mer if he would like a soft chair, davenport, or an automatic rec ord player in his lobby? or a li brary, complete with huge fire place ? The new dorm will even have a kitchenette on each floor for im promptu coffee hours. The generdl kitchen for the dorm is to be made of stainless steel—a continuation of the modern trend—and mess duty will be pulled by an expert staff constantly alert to provide well-balance meals of excellent quality. It will cost $45 per month for board and $65 per teerm for double Dorm Interior THE INTERIOR of one of the rooms of the new women’s dorm. The plushiness of the rooms is revealed in this artist’s sketch. a laundry room complete with all facilities for washing, drying, and ironing clothes, surrounded by au tomatic electric washing machines and hot-air dryers which make blue Monday a little less, fatigu ing? Key to the dorm is the living Unit, complete in itself, and hold ing 20 girls. Each unit has one single, one triple, and eight dou ble rooms. Window space—almost full width of the room—admits plenty of light. More than likely the new dorm will be a major factor in separat If you want a Really Good Milkshake that's thick and full of flavor • Try THE DUCK ICE CREAM 780 E.11th or triple rooms.

Students Should Leave Addresses Mail will not be held for indefin ite periods by the Eugene post of fice, effective immediately, ac cording to Ethan L. Newman, act ing postmaster. Students leaving Eugene for the summer should arrange to have mail delivered to some friend in Eugene or leave a forwarding ad dress with the post office. There is no charge for forward ing first class mail, but the ad dressee must agree to pay for warding charges if he wishes sec ond, third, or fourth class mail de livered to another address. In the past, according to New man, the Eugene office has hon ored all orders requesting that pa tron’s mail be held, either for a definite or indefinite period. This is contrary to postal regulations which state that the sender, not the addressee, controls the delivery of the mail and the sender’s return instructions shall be followed in all cases. The new move by the Eugene office was necessitated by lack of space. A load of books does not equal one good teacher. Mom's Show Was Success A very successful Motners weeK- : end, was the comment of Ruth Lan- i dry, general chairman, in summing j up the results of several weeks pf planning and preparation.
