Extensive Vet Dorm
Program is Underwav
By Tom Shepherd
Having noted recent improve
ments in the counseling program
at the two Veterans’ Dormitories,
visitors are now observing im
provements in the physical ap
pearance of the buildings. Home
coming visitors were especially
pleased with large-scale moderni
zation in the halls, dining room,
and lounges.
According to Mrs. Genevieve
Turnipseed, University dormitory
director, the present renovation
program is one of the most exten
sive ever planned. Although many
proposed changes and improve
ments have not yet been complet
ed, students are already taking ad
vantage of the comfortable and
modern furnishings.
Knotty Pine Tables
Knotty pine card, trestle, corner,
and center tables, together with
red leather davenports and chairs,
occupy a prominent place on the
new carpets of most of the
lounges. Two writing desks and
one or more bleached mahogany
tables are now part of every social
lounge with the entire room newly
painted and redecorated.
"Materials used in the moderni
zation program are of the best
quality,” Mrs. Turnipseed com
mented. “Every effort has been
made to buy the finest furniture
and furnishings.”
Dormitory lounges are now of
three types: social, game, and re
creation. The social lounges are
being primarily used for firesides,
hall meetings, and activities of a
formal nature, while the game
lounges house the pool tables.
Recreation lounges include a
piano and card tables, and can be
used as a general utility room.
They were especially suitable for
making Homecoming posters.

their guests. "With changes in the
main dining room completed,”
added Mrs. Turnipseed, “dancing
parties may now be satisfactorily
held by the various dormitory
halls.”
University women have not been
forgotten by Veterans’ dormitory
planners. Powder rooms have been
set up in each of the dormitory
units, and adjacent to the new pri
vate dining hall. The rooms include
new dressing table benches and
settees which add to the modern
decorating scheme on the walls
and ceiling.
In order to encourage good study
habits, each dormitory student will
soon receive a new study chair.
The desks in each room have al
ready been re-topped with mason
ite.
"The present remodeling pro
gram,” Mrs. Turnipseed summar
ized, “is intended to make the
dormitory students environment
more comfortable and enjoyable
and also give each student a more
pleasant atmosphere in which to
study.”

Sure, You Can Study at the UO Libe
But Surprises Possible, Reporter Finds
By a Frustrated Reporter
You'd be surprised at what goes
on in the libe these days. A place
to study? Ha! The hub of Univer
sity learning? Well, maybe!!
With these profound thoughts
in mind, your reporter walked into
the libe about a quarter to ten
a.m., a ghastly hour, and headed
immediately for those little “stalls”
in the stacks which are a supposed
haven for those who crave peace
and quiet. The prospect of a psych
mid-term Saturday morning seem
ed none too pleasant. Neither did
the unread book under my arm.
Soft Voices
A corner stall, on deck 2, Jooked
excellent for the purpose so I set
tled down with Ruch, chapters
1 to 14. Approximately ten minutes
and one-half page of underlining
later, soft voices reached the ears.
I listened. One soft voice said, “But
I can feel your eyelashes!”
General psychology and the nine
page mid-term were completely
forgotten for the moment while I
stuck my head around the stall to
see a boy and girl butterfly-kiss
ing. Such goings-on at ten in the
morning! I decided to forget the
sight and went on studying the
pictures of rats going through a
maze of sticks.
And More Voices
Again I heard voices. This time
one said, “No, I don’t like you any
more. ’ Another lower, softer voice
replied, “I don’t like you either.”
I listened harder.—just in time
to hear a female voice quaver,
"Henry—I really do like you.” His
voice purred, “Yeah, I like you
too.”
Completely nauseated by this
time, I put on my coat, grabbed
Ruck, stuck on my mittens, and
stepped out into the aisle and
gave the occupants of the next
booth an icy stare.
Heads for Exit
Knowing that I was completely
lost among the books in more
ways than one, I took the nearest
exit, which proved to be a long
series of ramps, leading upward.
I climbed and climbed and climb
ed, past signs that said, “Science”,
and an arrow pointing up.
Presently, I found myself in the
humanities section and again went
through'the usual procedure for
studying in the stacks. Off with
the mittens, and coat, and down
with Ruch.
About twenty minutes later, I
was about to master the trick of
getting through the stick maze
just ahead of the white mice, when
two soft voices reached my ears.
"Henry, I really do like you/'
“Yeah, I like you too.1’
On went mittens, coat, books
and what have you. I stepped out
of the humanities stall into a
dusty ray of sunlight, and "glared"
to the back stall "students", “I'll
give you guys a clue. That’s no
way to study!"
