Eor a time this weird tendency seemed uni que, but investigation showed that other shack-inhabitants are also fond of things in the raw, such as carrots, cabbage, sweet potatoes, turnips. The string-bean lover, a small ish blonde who has another rabbit-like habit of squinting her nose before she sneezes in a queer manner (and she insists that she sneezes at exactly nine o'clock each morning looks bright-eyed whenever she passes a grocery. - Her enthusiasm for vegetables has infected the sec ond floor neighborhood, and it is rumored that certain healthy co-eds are planning a hen-rabbit party. Sara (Sparrow) Vann always orders raw carrots at the table. Lovers of vegetables do their munching in private,: al though ;any sunny afternoon one might note Sybille walking slow ly along from A & P with' a string-bean disappearing into her mouth. ALBRIGHT SPEMS T0FR0SH CLASS Director of Graham Memorial Tells First-Year .'Men About Student Union Activities. Mayne Albright, director of the Graham Memorial, was the principal speaker at the fresh man assembly yesterday morn ing. His subject was "Student Activities and Graham Memo rial." Albright spoke first on stu dent unions in general and their organization, stating then that Graham Memorial was managed by University students and faculty members. A majority of the members of the board of directors are students. Contributions of Union As to the student union's con tribution to campus life, he said that it is non-competive, filling I only the gaps in the University program. Graham Memorial provides a place where the Stu dent council may have a regular ofiice in which to meet and hold office hours. It enables the Uni versity publications to have a centralized suite of offices. Besides the advantage to these two activities, about 26 other groups meet in it regularly, The use of the union was doub led during a year according to statistics compiled, last March. An innovation in the assem bly program was the reading of the cases of the Student council. Harper Barnes, president, said that from now on these would be read in public regularly. . He also read the punishments for the convicted ones, the majority of which were suspensions from the University. No names were mentioned. The new song that was learn ed several days ago, "Sing," was iehearsed Under the direc tion of H. Grady . Miller of the music department. It is understood that Bizzell and Pike have an intricate series of alarm clocks. The noises start in their room around seven - .... ...... a. m.; one hears Bizzell's last heaving "grrrr" at eight Their justification is that the delicious sleep between those sandwich naps is worth the exertion put out for it. - The strange habits of make up usually get organized just before retiring, at which' time, before disillusioning mirrors, cold cream, white salves, and curler contraptions emerge. Less fortunate lasses, who insist on those tidy neck-curls, wind their hair into long aluminum snap pers. After that they adjust the shades carefully.

Miscellaneous Habits Aside from the usual walk ing and talking in their sleep, the distorted positions co-eds ar range themselves in to study, when they study, and to launder their hair (Mary Alice Bennett sleeps in a hat -after washing her) the way they" peer . out of the doors when the telephone rings, ete.,-thereare a few other (Continued on last page) PIANISTS BOOKED TO APPEAR HERE Guy Maier and Lee Pattison, Well-Known Piano Team, to Play Here November 20.
