Even with the recent expansion of the ten residential college libraries, the problem of where to study has become almost as pressing as the even older one of how long and how hard. Conditions, while bad, are far from hopeless, particularly as long as the undergraduate retains the ingenuity to ferret out the various secluded nooks and corners which are still available to those who look for them. The anticipated construction of two more residential colleges will relieve a good deal of the pressure since it has been unequivocally stated that undergraduate enrollment will not be increased proportionately.
Yale has apparently lost interest in "horoscopes." A few years ago the anonymous publishers of these lists of probable candidates for election to the three Senior Societies made their work very profitable. Two years ago sentiment took a sharp turn against "horoscopes," some of which contained contemptible attacks on men's characters, and the trade fell off. Newsboys and sweeps did what little purchasing there was of the pamphlet published this year. Reputable merchants have given notice they will no longer handle these forecasts.
Special air service for residents of the metropolitan area who want to get to New Haven for football games without rising at dawn has been announced by the Colonial Airways System. The New Haven service begins with the Army game this week. Planes leave Newark Airport at an hour (not specified) that ought to mark the end of a reasonable morning's work at the office, and reach the H. & H. Flying Field in West Haven, three miles from the Bowl, in plenty of time for the game.
Alex Murphy, the Yale Band's drum major, recently went to jail in support of the football team. He led the band and several hundred fans down the middle of Chapel Street on the way back from the 16-14 victory over Dartmouth at the Bowl. But the New Haven police didn't like the celebration because it blocked traffic. Murphy was arrested and charged with breach of the peace and reckless endangerment. The judge dropped the charges on the day before the Harvard game, pointing out that it was pointless to assume that anybody could lead the Yale marching band. |
