It is Mrs. Joan Elizabeth Sharpe. of Londenderry, Ireland. Mrs. Sharpe, an attractive blonde, blue-eyed lassie with an enticing Irish accent. has been in Columbia since December and now works in three offices here. Be sides being employed for 13 hours each a week in the offices of Pro fessors W. C. Bentrup and H. H. Turney-High and Mrs. Louise Cole, she has made many friends on the cam pus. After the close of the war in Europe, Mrs. Sharpe worked for three and a half years with the War Department in London, Eng land, and in Frankfort, Germany. While she was in Germany, she met the Columbia boy who later became her husband. She returned home for a visit and sailed from Ireland in October, 1948, arriving in New York Oct. 29.

USC Canteen Resembles Drug Store By HILDA ADAMS "Meet me in the canteen!" is one of the most familiar phrases heard !around school nowadays. The can teen is one of the busiest and most popular spots on this university vanipus. It is very unusual to ever find more than standing room in this popular place. The canteen is between 25 and :30 years old. When it was first established it was located in Le gare college and was run on a very small scale. It was about one-fourth the size of the present canteen. Today the canteen resembles a combination between a well-equip ped drug store and a ten-cent store. Any type of school equip ment can be bought in one se& tion of the canteen, while various types of soft drinks, sandwiches, and ice cream can be obtained from the modern soda fountain. The canteen is also furnished with a juke box and with comfortable red leather booths. Several investigations have been made at various Limes by student groups to compare the prices of goods carried by the canteen with the prices of those same items in big chain stores. The groups found that the prices were usually the same and were sometimes cheaper in the canteen. The fact that prices in the canteen are not higher than in ordinary drug stores should be appreciated.
