Recreation Room Brings Pleasure
The happiest spot on the Campus-That's the recreation room in the Memorial Union building.
On busy days some 215 students have been known to do their daily dozens there; on slack days in the early part of last semester, that number dropped to 60.
The recreation room is equipped with three pool tables, five ping pong tables, a billiard table, and chess, checker, and card game equipment.
Student managed, the room is busiest during afternoon hours from 2:30 to 5:30; the slack period is in the morning from 10:30 to 12:30. Men outnumber women four to one any time of day, and freshman class members pre- $ ^{+ - } $ shot will visit the Campus this dominate
Located just south of the Union fountain on the basement floor, the game room is easily accessible to all students. Non-participating sportsmen can watch the University ping pong team work out here, or see billiard sharks practice up a little on key shots.
Ping pong and billiard tournaments are held annually. One hundred men and 40 women took part in the ping pong tournament this winter. Billiard tournaments are run telegraphic matches with certain key shots set as the players aim. Results are telegraphed to headquarters, and billiard players never leave their own campus to carry on an inter-collegiate tournament.

Starts Next Year's Concert Course Sign Alec Templeton
Alec Templeton, who at the age of 30 has acquired a reputation as "the world's foremost musical personality," will appear at the University on the concert course next fall, D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, announced today.
Public appeal should be high for the program, as Templeton will devote the latter half of his performance here to mimicry and humorous interpretations. The first half of his program will be a recital of regular piano literature.
Composed at Age of Four
Templeton, although blind from birth, composed his first piece at the age of four. He won the British Broadcasting Corporation prize for
composition at 13 and acquired the degrees of Licentiate of the Royal Academy of Music and Associate of the Royal College of Music shortly afterward. Competing against 8,000 entrants from the entire United Kingdom, he won a piano contest sponsored by the London Daily Express.
He began as a concert pianist in 1933 and toured England, France Holland and Germany like a medieval minstrel, playing the masters both seriously and satirically, and vocally mimicking famous figures and fads. Everywhere he created a sensation with his great interpretative talent. In 1936 he came to the United States, and is now a citizen of this country.
Since his arrival in this country, Templeton has spent most of his time working on his humorous radio programs. He has, however, taken some time for concert tours, appearing in Chicago, Detroit, New York, and Los Angeles.
Templeton probably will be the first artist to appear on the concert course next fall, Swarthout added. He is scheduled tentatively for some time in November.
Swarthout is working out a concert course schedule for next year which he says "will be highly acceptable to everyone." Both solo artists and group organizations will appear during the year, with a possible performance by a grand opera company.
