Newark, Sept. 22.-~The construction
Of the rev domitories IL row progrcssir
30 rapidly that even the donbtifg students
Of the Women's College are ready 10 be-
lleve that ON October II a house warmif v
may bc celebrated indeed. At present
everything is berg done 10 make the
students as comfortable a. possible IN the
available dorrnitory space Of Warner ard
Sussex halls, Red Mems Home, and the
Practice House. Rugs and draperies are
beirg taken from storage and all Of the
rooms are assuming a homelike atmos-
phpre.
The meal hours are. this year, especially
cheerful when the women faculty and
students gather in one common dinirg-
room which seats 200. This room, formed
by a removal Of old partitions, was rs
great a surprise to returning students as
was the artistic grill Of last years
stretching process. This araf cement is,
however, far happier one since u per
mits Of better fellowship.
DR.. X. w. Cooper, who rs an edu-
oational secretary OF the Service Citizens,

being made in order 10 accommodate an
increasrg student body

OF these Is are seniors, 22 Juniors, 90
sophomores and 7S freshmen. a splendid
college spirit seems TO abound and all of
the organizations Of the college are start
ing on their years work with zest and
energy.
At a meeting of the Student Govern
ment Association, on last Friday night
Miss Madeleine Dixon, the president,
urged upon the members q feeling Of per-
soual responsibility IN maintaining the
ideals for which our student body stands
She, moreover, urged upon the members
10 stand loyal TO the college, 10 have per-
sonal spirit which is good, class spirit
which is better; but, best 0fNBll, college
spirit. At second meeting, on Monday
morning, the constitution ard bylaws Of
the association were read by the secretary,
Miss Grace Maryil.
The first meeting of the Y. w. G. "a.
wss held on Sunday evening, September
10. Miss Ruth Bennett presiding Dean
Robinson spoke 10 the large audience Of
students concerning the relation Of the
association to the individual student
Miss Marie Ie Gates "a president Of the
college organization greeted the new
students IN the name of the ASSOCIATION
Wilcox added much to the interest Of the
meeting.
The four clagses are actively engaged in
their particular work. The seniors have
elected group Of five TO act, in con
nection with the faculty, upon matters
pertaining 20 special senior privileges.
Juniors are planning their annual bonfire
and are organizIng for work on the col
lege Year Book. Sophomores and fresh
men are particularly active and find many
points Of common interest. On Saturday
night the sophomore class gave a most
interesting Stunt Party" with the fresh
men as chief performers The latter, clad
in gym bloomers and middies, presented
q laughable program Of which the best
received numbers were: A realistic dog
show" terminating IN an ear-spiittIng
dog ght: a proposal; acrobatTc stunts
an umbrella race, and take Of" based
upon hurried breakfast toilets at w G. ID
Following this program Of a highly clll-
tural nature, the freshies were rewarded
by the sophomore class president, Miss
Rose Roberts. After warning the new
girls 10 keep all freshmen rules she give
each an arm band Of bright green deco
rated with freshman" IN gold letter..
The ''rIles" this year have few unique
features in addition TO the usual re-
strletions. Each ''freshic" IS to wear
stockings, zone black and one white,
must wear no hair nets before noon, and
must salute all sophs when of campus.
Surely no one can mistake a member Of
the class OF 1924.
