Campus Society Looks at 1945 With Attitude of Uncertainty
Campus society looked upon the coming year of 1945 with an attitude of uncertainty.
With the dwindling of naval training on the campus the prospects of programs in which mixed groups participate seems to dwindle. Only the return of veterans in substantial numbers will tend to solve that problem.
On the other hand, the organizations of women are having their best year with record attendance and interest which would tend to show that women are interested in entertainments which do not include mixed groups. The religious groups are in this class.
There are enough men on the campus, however, to guarantee the success of the midweeks, the varsity dances and the Jay Jane Viceversa dance which will be among the top parties just ahead. And then there are plans in the making which as yet are unveiled
Just what will be the situation next fall no one professes to know or even to predict

RESOLUTIONS----
(continued from page one)
John S. Kirk, physiology instructor didn't make any because he knew he'd break them if he did.
"The truth is, I was up with the baby about that time of night, and I didn't think of making any resolutions," he said.
Librarians Make No Promises
Miss Esther Norman, circulation librarian said "No, I don't make New Year's resolutions. I try to act on these things as they come up during the year."
Miss Mildred Hershey, reference librarian, "No, never! I think New Year's resolutions are faecal. Nobody ever keeps them."
Prof. John W. Ashton remarked "Well, I always broke them so rapidly when I was young that I refuse to make them now." Fewer Resolutions for ELE
Fred Ellsworth answered, "Say I didn't make any. I did not have time. I'm not much of a resolution maker because I'd just naturally like to make fewer resolutions and stick to those I do make."
H. B. Pepinsky, assistant director of the Guidance bureau, gave a negative answer when asked about his new year's resolutions. "I have been a pessimist about the war so long that I decided that I wouldn't make any further predictions or resolutions," he said.
Fewer Resolutions for Ellsworth
Prof. H. E. Chandler summed the situation up this way, "I've always felt this way about them—if you don't make any resolutions, you can't break them. Consequently, no resolutions."
Dean Twente, School of Education,
resolved not to make any resolutions
and the Dean said "That's one resolution that I've been able to keep."
Gladys Kunkel, secretary to the dean of School of Education, is celebrating her birthday today and said "I'm making a timely resolution not to have any more birthdays."

Plans Continued For Women's Dorm
Continuation of plans for a new dormitory for women to be built after the war was announced before the University senate yesterday by Chancellor Deane W. Malott.
The building, considered before the start of the war along with the addition to the Memorial Union building, will be one of the first self-amortization projects to be undertaken. Only the lack of materials and labor prevents construction at this time.
The present plan is to place the dormitory on the brow of North College hill near Corbin hall. Just what the architectural design and specific nature of the building is not known. ...
The University of Cincinnati observatory was the first erected in the United States with public funds.
