As she neared the poems houses
she saw a knot OF workers gath
cred in the street. They seemed eX-
cited and across the open stretches
came the rumble Of their voices.
When she was closer she could see
that the gathering was before the
house Of Juanito. She rode into the
street and stopped at the edge OF
the group. Their talking suddenly
silenced. They turned their dark
faces toward her and stood mutely.
She smiled at one Of them whom
she knew quite well.

asked simply.
At first nobody answered. Then
one of the poems said, Nothing,

thought, to come out Of so animal

A woman came to the door OF
Juanito's house chattering excited

joined the silent sea OF stares.
Terry could feel the growing ten

would go and leave them to their
own discussion.
She rode on toward the stables
and as she drew away she could
hear the muttering Of voices behind
her. Maybe, she thought, she was
being duoed by her own vivid imag-
ination. She was, after all. an out

Sometimes they set fire to the field

with that is that usually the grass

She ran upstairs and changed her

When she left the road and start

way across the field as crew UNI
loaded the sheets and fastened
them together. Poems with long
handled spades were digging out

at the scene, a pang of nostalgia

Married Couples
To Be Aided by
Postwar COLLEGE
BY RUTH MILLETT

A small Iowa college has an
nounced that at the close of the
war it will build on its campus an
. apartment house for married stud
ents, which will provide them with
completely furnished and comfort
able living quarters for $35 month,
including utilities.
In making the announcement the
president of the college said: This
generation believes in early mar
riage5 and I am inclined to look
with favor upon them"
This school is just one of the
many that today are facing the
question of what to do with the
married students who are already
beginning to arrive on campuses
under the GI Bill of Rights. HouS-
ing them is, Of course, the big prob
lem in most schools.
For married Students in the past
| haven't had much consideration
from colleges and universities. On
most campuses, 4 a young couple
decided that one or beth would
continue working lor a college de-
gree after marriage, it was up to
/ them to find whatever living q.ar
ters they could
LIFE is STRUGGLE
Unless the couple were helped ~
wealthy parents, the rooms and
apartments they could afford were
usually not only dingy affairs but
often cold in winter, hot in summer,
and completely lacking in conven-
fences.
The married couples just had to
stiuggle along under such living
conditions because they couldn't af-
ford anything better. And it wasn't
unusual for them to have to spend
SO much for roof over their Leads,
they could not afford the proper
food.
So if the CT Bill of Rights wakes
up colleges and universities to the
need for proper housing for married
students, as well as single ones.
lasting good will come of it, And
perhaps in the future fewer young
people will have to choose between
marriage and finishing an educa-
ton that will mean SO much to their
future.
