From the Archives Like a great cream-white
slug dead of overeating, the domed structure slumps against the landscape. Nearby
sit two other structures of the same unfamiliar substance. The three strange buildings
are the work of second-year students in the School of Art and Architecture. They
are constructed of a newly developed polyurethane foam which, when sprayed on
any surface, hardens almost immediately into a serviceable building material.
One visitor said after emerging from the foam houses, "The material seems so organic -- it's almost like walking through someone's intestines."
Many suggestions
have been made as to a proper class numeral for the entering class. An abbreviation,
such as has usually been made by omitting the first two figures, is in this case
awkward to make. The following methods of avoiding the difficulty have been proposed:
"Nineteen Hundred," "Know Nothing," "Two Circles," "End of the Century," "Double
Goose Egg," and "Naughty Naught." So far no abbreviation has been accepted for
general use, the freshmen being indicated by the full title of 1900.
Delta Sigma Rho
will have a debate with NYU on November 13 on the subject of woman's emergence
from the home. It will be conducted in the parliamentary manner, which means that
the winners will be decided by a vote on the merits of the question, not on the
merits of the debaters. Vassar recently trounced a freshman debating team on this
same subject.
They all must
be extroverts, right? But who knows their names? You can't identify a cheerleader
even with a scorecard. Susan Murphy '80 has managed to compile a list of 60 ex-cheerleaders
so far, and she and other members of this year's cheerleading group have sent
letters to encourage them to form an association of kindred spirits that will
help to get things done right at football, basketball, and -- if they can figure
out how to do it -- hockey games. One feature of the association's plans is to
have a tent at a football game each year, a tent notable for its warmth, exuberance,
and an occasional loud cry. |
