There was no smoke coming out of the girls' dormitory at Cor nell College, but two firemen were seen climbing in a third story window just the same. However, it turned out the smoke-eaters were innocent of any nefarious intent. It seems a couple of the female residents had locked themselves out of their room and got a little panicky when they found out there was no house mother on duty to let them in with a mas ter key. They were due at a . President's reception in formals and the dresses were locked se curely behind the door. It re mained for the firemen to enter the room through the window and help the girls out of their quandry. 1 Which just goes to show where the taxpayers' money goes. And where firemen wind up when there isn't a fire. S\ac Saves Fo Gir's ardob Space Svr o ThGints toWadoetems - of4 w ittunlespa and xsny cltte, gadgets have been invented to help solve the problem. One space saver is a petticoat bag. Although it looks like an oversized umbrella case, it will hold a rolled up bouffant petticoat ,or an evening stole rolled around tissue paper and it fits on a hood in an otherwise useless corner. Suit hangers keep suits in shape as well as keeping the jacket and skirt together. They are well worth the investment. A knitting bag - a clear plastic cylinder to hang on a closet hook-is a good place to store fake flowers. Plastic bags make good dust covers for purses and still allow a person to see which bag is which. {Y. w+,... r ', Miss Emily Cheng, left, of Nan ier award from Mrs. Gary Paschal i of the Pilot club state scholarship Clippings MINNEAPOLIS, M i n n. - Augsburg College officials had to reach off campus 1,) find a solution to a housing problem. Faced with a surplus of 40 girls who could not be accommodated in dormitories, the college rented the entire fourth floor of a near by hotel. Two girls are assigned to each hotel room and transportation to and from the college will be pro vided three or four times a day. Washing, pressing and kitchen facilities will be available and the girls will have the use of a cafe and recreation room on the ground floor of the hotel. Regular residents at the hotel won't be seeing much of the young ladies, however. The fourth floor of the building will be closed off from the main part of the hotel with keys issued only to the girls. So, for the boy friends, it'll be just like a dormitory. ... .S........ By Virginia Ross A new haircut or a becoming permanent can enhance your per sonality and accentuate your fea tures. You can make the most of your looks with the right hair style. The short haircut seems to be the most popular style at Carolina. Short hair is so easy to care for and can be made to look very neat. Long hair is beautiful but takes so much care, and it's hard to keep long hair looking neat and attrac tive. No matter how long or short your hair is, it will look better if it is brushed and shampooed regu larly. If your curls sag on damp days or if straggling wisps, or flyaway strands wreck your pretty hair-do, then try using a spray. Fine, limp hair, set with spray after a sham poo and braced with it between washings, gains body and holds cuyl longer. Flyaway hair, if sprayed after combing, settles down to smooth mannerly ways. Best of all, a spray insures better behavior from hair that wilts or acts up on rainy days. All this without stiffness or a shellacked look if you use just the right amount of spray and wash your hair often. As with make-up, what goes on must come off completely at frequent, regular intervals. That means a shampoo. There are 52 buildings on the campus of the university.

Getting To Know The Greeks At USC Rush Week It happens every year, a phe nomenon peculiar to college cam p)uses--a week devoted to "getting to knowv the Greeks." This event wvhich results in girls staying up until 2 a. m. to cut out party in vitations is known as "Rush Week."
