99 Now Live In Corbin Hall, First University Women's Dorm
82
The first residence hall for women students at the University is now he largest dormitory on the Hill, Corbin hall.
Although the six-story structure was built to accommodate 120 persons when it was founded in 1923, 199 women now occupy every nook and cranny.
The 69 original girls' rooms have gradually been converted from single to double rooms and in many cases the original two-girl rooms were made to accommodate three girls.
Three of Corbin's four kitchenettes, one guest room, and two directors' rooms have also been turned into girl's living quarters.
One problem incurred by the increased number of women is lack of closet space. Since there is closet space for only 140 persons, many of the women have had to buy vardrobes, and three-drawer chests have been supplied wherever needed.
There are social centers on the first, second, third, and fourth floors. The basement has a dining room and living quarters, while the sub-basement contains two automatic Bendix washers, space in which to dry clothes, and a smoking room containing a ping pong table, electric sewing machine, coke, candy, and pop corn machines.
Other facilities include a self-operating elevator and an ironing board and telephone on each corridor. Corbin has six outside telephone lines, and is the only women's dormitory which has a switchboard.
Mrs. Treva Brown, housemother, frequently is asked how she is able to manage so many women. To such questions, her response is, "I don't; they manage me."
Mrs. Brown believes that a large dormitory such as Corbin is more desirable than a smaller rooming hall because they are greater opportunities for companionship, more activities, and more representation in organizations and events on the campus.
However, a large dormitory is not entirely satisfactory, Mrs. Brown believes, since there is often "a lack of complete unity."
Among the activities at Corbin are two annual parties in honor of faculty members, the Christmas Revels, the May Fete, and a spring strawberry festival.

Gum Industry Faces Crisis And Children
Boston—(UP)—A Boston manufacturer has announced a nation-wide drive to thwart the "impending threat" of prohibition.
No, not scotch or bourbon—bubble gum.
It seems it's that bad. The industry faces a crisis. Groups of parents and teachers have formed angry anti-bubble gum cliques, he said. One laugh dentists even went so far.

gauged buck teeth.
"But," he admitted, "there are a few things that must be remedied. Kids have to stick to chewing bubble gum and stop wearing it. Also, this business of popping bubbles in school and church must stop.
"This is absurd," scoffed Thomas G. Wilder, vice-president of Cum Products, Inc. "Everyone know that if you huffed and puffed hard enough to distend your teeth you'd make very inferior bubbles. That is common knowledge."

Will Show Knobby Knees'
"There's no reason why bubble blowing and popping shouldn't be accepted on the Park avenues, the Beacon hills and the Nob hills of this country—once the young are taught gum manners.
"The industry is trying to do just that. Clubs are being formed in the larger cities," he said.
"The bubble gum business also has an answer to charges made by the Pittsburgh dentist," Wilder said. "Seeing is believing, so we have arranged for two Brooklyn children—Howard and Ann Ruskin—to tour cities and show people their teeth.
Los Angeles, -(UP)$^2$ Women's skirts will be up above their knees again by 1952, a costume expert said today.
According to information from the federal department of agriculture rats and mice account for a loss of $200,000,000 worth of grain in this country yearly based on the 1945 prices.
"Both chew bubble gum. Neither has buck teeth. And, what's more, their father is a dentist," said Wilder.
Mrs. Louis Pinkney Sooy, art professor who teaches the history of costume design at university of California at Los Angeles, said the "new book" had only four years to run.
By that time, everybody will be wearing long skirts," she said,
"Then the fashionable thing will be to wear them short."
Weddings And Engagements
Mrs. Sooy thinks a lot of males will hope for long skirts again when they find out how many girls have knobbie knees.

Why Don't We Murder Somebody, Boys? We Won't Find A Duller Sunday For It
Manning, Iowa—(UP)—Manning residents who fell over one another to get out of the way of a gangster-style killing one Sunday are trying to convince each other that they "knew it was a fake all the time."
Five high school youths from near-by Audubon admitted they staged the "killing," complete with blank shotgun shells and blood-like catsup, to relieve the monotony of a dull Sunday afternoon.
They said that after they drove to Manning James McLeran, one of the youths, began running down Main street. Two others chased him firing a shotgun.
McLean crumpled to the pavement, spilling catup as he fell. The others roared up in the "murdered" youth's car, tossed the "body" into the back seat, and sped out of town.
Frightened witnesses called Tom Finegan, sheriff who thought he had a real crime on his hands. He traced the youths to Audubon high school, where he found that everyone knew about the sham murder because the "killers" had been unable to keep the secret.
Finegan arrested them and took them to the county jail at Carroll, but did not say whether he would file charges.
"You certainly won't," said the sheriff.
the charges.
The youths, somewhat frightened themselves, promised that "we won't do it again."

"Tell me, Hugh,
does she go for Dentyne Chewing Gum?"
"Sure she goes for Dentyne Chewing Gum, George — that's basic — that swell, long-lasting Dentyne flavor sends her as much as it does you or me. She likes the way Dentyne helps keep teeth white, too."
