Lights Burn Brightly In Museum Dorm
New lights will be burning brightly during the next semester as the Spooner-Thayer residents hit the books and carry on the conventional college "bull" sessions.
Sixty-four former servicemen are living in surroundings similar to that in which they have lived for the past few years. The new dormitory has been divided into three separate sections—sleeping quarters, study hall and locker room, and the yet-to-be provided lounge.
The entrance to the quarters is at the ground level door at the southeast corner of the building.
Sleeping quarters consist of 40 upper-lower bunks, still containing the USAAF and USN identification marks; Another reminder of G.I. life is the barracks box at the end of each bunk.
Next to the sleeping quarters is a large study hall, a well lit room the full width of the building. This room formerly held some of the Spooner-Thayer Museum pieces and the windows still contain metal bars living a somewhat different atmosphere from normal dormitory scenes.
As to the suitability of the dorm, Jack Bruyr, ex-GL. from the European theater of war stated: "It is almost like barracks live again except getting as much sleep as before but then things aren't settled vet."
The mail call is at 2:30 p.m. and is carried out by the "housemother" Samuel Elliot. "Sam" is the commanding general and the information man for all kinds and types of questions. His reaction to his housemother position was:
"It's exciting and I'm the happiest man in the world being the housemother for all of these boys."

Crowd Applauds Don Cossacks
A near-capacity crowd applauded the performances of the Don Cossack chorus and the three Russian folk-dancers in last night's program at Hoch auditorium.
Ranging from a rumbling bass to a girlish tenor, the chorus filled the auditorium with numbers ranging from the medley of Tschaikowsky compositions to the 14th Century Renaissance music provided by dogs barking, men shouting, and whistling in the modern "Who Knows?"
Under the direction of diminutive Serge Jaroff, the chorus stood at attention for all of the hour and a half long concert except during the two dancing numbers during which it spread across the stage and provided musical accompaniment for the dancers.
Russians Speak English (They Said)
By Marianski Thomsonski (Daily Kansas Staff Writer)
Do you understand English?
Then you would have enjoyed chatting with the Don Cossacks after last night's concert.
They speak English too!
