Letter to the Editor Coed Says Service Terrible at Union
Dear Editor:
It's getting so we women students would rather go almost any place around the hill to get a coke and a lite to eat than brave the Union fountain. And it's simply because we can't get waited on there.
The only place that's close on the hill, when students can more easily go, is the fountain. But if we have a class within an hour or wish to stop for only a reasonable length of time, it's getting impossible to get an order placed and delivered at this establishment.
Of course, we realize that the Union fountain, as every other place in wartime, is short of help; but it seems to go beyond that. Many times we wait and wait politely for a waitress to take our order, but each time she generally goes by to someone else, usually service men who have just come in. Naturally we know we have to wait our turn, but as women we just don't have a fighting chance. Even when we bluntly ask a waitress to take our order, she ignores us, or says "in a minute," which means endless.
The Union fountain no longer seems to be run on the old standards of friendliness and good college spirit. Instead, we women patrons, after waiting a half-hour or forty-five minutes, become so angry we'd rather leave than wait longer, no matter how near we seem to being able to place our orders.
The Union fountain is supposed to belong to the students. It's supposed to be a place where we can rest awhile, enjoy ourselves, and get a snack to eat. Instead, it has become a place for which the women of the campus, particularly, have began to cultivate a dislike.
Sincerely yours, Wilma Thiele

Rock Chalk Talk
By LIZ BAKER
Frantically in search of "anything green" for their forthcoming spring party, Phi Psi Gene Kittle had the brilliant idea of borrowing blankets of artificial grass from a local mortuary. Dragging buddy Earle Crawford behind him, Gene entered the establishment.
"Sure, we've got lots of the stuff." smiled the manager, shaking Kittle's uncertain hand. "Come back into the back with me, and we'll look it over."
Dragging one another now. Brothers Kittle and Crawford gingerly stepped over shining marble slabs and suggestive tables, as they followed their genial guide to the inner sanctum.
Piled high with greenery, the two stumbled back out into the good clean sunshine. The grass is now being stored in another's room in the Phi Psi duration house until the party tomorrow night. Both adventurers are recovering satisfactorily.

Day Must Dawn, but Delta Gamma Dainty Small wondered a little about it yesterday morning. Late the previous evening she crawled into bed, and, because she was call girl, wearily set her alarm for 7:30. The alarm went off on schedule, and Dainty climbed out and dutifully set about waking the sisters. The effort was not appreciated. Some dear gremlin had moved the clock up an hour the night before, and the whole house, for the first time on record, was up at 6:30 a.m.

It's so Peaceful in the Country but Alpha Delt's Jean Kaufmann and Melba DeArmond now know the truth. They decided to go on a picnic the other day with two friends. The foursome packed their lunch, hopped in a car, and started out in search of some A-1 picnic grounds. They rode, and rode a little more, and at last drove up behind a country schoolhouse. They parked the car, moved the food and themselves over to the lawn. and
settled down to their vittles. Once a farmer and two little boys peered timidly around the corner of the building, but the four thought it was just a friendly neighbor, waved and yelled, and continued eating. They merrily rode the merry-go-round, and swung on the swings. They heard a few vague noises, but thought nothing of it. On the road a little later, they passed by the front of the little schoolhouse, and became just a little embarrassed. An all-school picnic had just ended.

Embarrassing Moment of the Week arrived for Shirley Jac Wagner and Ruth King the other evening: It was about 9:45 p.m. and the two wanted a coke. Leaving 1215 Oread, they ran over to the Union. Jac, dressed in her oldest blue jeans, and Ruth barefooted, (it was a hot night) walked toward the coke machine. Noting a few strangers meeting in the lounge, they decided not to attract attention, and raced down to the basement. It was a fine idea except that the door was locked. They rushed back up to first floor. Just as they got there, the Pachacamacs walked out of meeting. The girls looked abashed; the men looked more so. Came a blind dash to the door.
