Lawyers Take Over Zeta As Girls Retreat to Carson Students dialing extension 445 no longer hear a feminine voice say “Zeta Hall.” Law school stu dents of the University have taken over the former women's dorm itory. For several years law students have wanted a place of their own. With the new women’s dormitory now accommodating former Zeta residents, the hall was turned over to the future lawyers at the be ginning of the term by Genevieve Turnipseed, director of dormitories. SITUATION SATISFACTORY Up to now, the situation has proven satisfactory despite men who still phone hoping to get dates, and female students who return to claim mail and other belongings. Recently Wallace Martin, the dor mitory’s sponsor received a copy of “Medemoiselle” magazine, sent to all women’s organizations. Newly elected house officers in clude Dick Bennett, president, and Bob Myers, social chairman, treas urer, secretary, vice-president, sergeant-at-arms, house librarian and ex-officio janitor. BARRISTER INN On the present house agenda is a proposed plan to change the name of Zeta Hall to Barrister Inn. The "boys" feel that since they are enrolled in the Law School ,their organization should have a name distinctive of Law. Barrister is the old English name for lawyers and the Inns were what are now the modern courts. Academy Gives Reduced Rates ToU.

Cancer kills more mothers of school age children than any other disease • Once, not too long ago—Mom heard her prayers at night, dressed her in the morning and got her off to school. . . . But Mom went away and didn’t come back. No home is safe from cancer. Last year cancer killed more mothers of growing families than any other disease. Tragic—but even more tragic is the fact that many of these deaths need never have happened. Many of the mothers who now die could be cured—IF they learned to recognize cancer’s symptoms and seek medical advice immediately —IF sufficient money can be found for the cancer research needed to discover the causes of the disease, to perfect its treatment. The American Cancer Society, through its pro gram of public education and medical research, is dedicated to the conquest of cancer. Will you help?
