Recreation Room
To Open Tomorrow
The new recreation room in the
basement of West Hall will be
opened tomorrow afternoon, if
plans culminate as anticipated.
Should the remodeling not be fin
ished by then, however, it will be
opened to the students during
next week.
Miss Morgan, director of the pro
gram, stated that the facilities
will be for the students to enjoy
during their leisure hours, but
that they will be expected to take
great care in handling the equip
ment. If signs of carelessness are
shown, means will be taken where
by the less thoughtful students
may get a better understanding of
how to take care of property that
is provided for them. i
Hours during which the recrea
tion room will be opened have not
yet been approved, but they will
probably correspond with the
scheduled dating hours on campus.
