Students Marvel At Old Windows With New Look Last week, students were bewil dered at a strange sight on the university campus. Workmen perched on ladders and clinging ta other forms of support were busily cleaning windows on some of the older buildings; windows which, from years of accumulated dust and dirt, had obscured class rooms from solar illumination. "This is the first time it's hap pened in ten years," remarked an instructor in the physics depart ment, when the sunlight streamed through the newly-cleaned win dows. One student, who had withdrawn from the university and returned after 15 years, said that he had never seen it happen before. 'An interview in the Marshal's office proved of no avail in deter mining the sudden stimulus which motivated the spring cleaning. Student Gra To Be Place At First Of : Capt.
