Preliminary Plans
Before drawing their plans, the

college campuses in nearby states
in order to obtain ideas on useful
features which could be in
corporated.
Suggestions concerning design
and arrangement were sought from
the architectural firm of Hare and
Hatch of New York, official con
sultants for the Association of
College Unions. Student groups
which will use the building were
also asked to contribute their ideas.
Aroma Relief for
Horsey Horseshoe
Is Promised Soon
The breath-taking aroma, cloud
Ing above the Horseshoe seems to
indicate that the animal whose
name it bears has taken pastorage
within the "old wall." But, this
horse is sheepish.
Actually, neither animal is
directly responsible for the potent
odor. The spring fertilization of
the campus green calls for the
distribution of 12%, tons of sheep
manure.
Relief is promised at least in
time for exams by the director of
the operation, Dr. J. T. Penney of
the Biology Dept. The operation
is scheduled for possible comple
tion next week.
One good thing about it, stu
dents no longer walk on the grass.
