Life in Battenfeld Hall Is Typical Day's Routine
Much has been written about Battenfeld hall and the plans for its dedication on Oct. 6, but many students and faculty members still are curious concerning the routine of student life on the cooperative basis.
Really, life is much the same there as in any other men's lying quarters except that it is impossible to tack on the wall a picture of Patty's latest dream or one of Varga's masterpieces without asking the proctor of the house for permission. It is a house rule that no tacks or nails be driven into the wall or woodwork without this permission.
If you were lucky enough to make the grade average required of a Battenfeld scholarship and were one of the 52 boys living in the house, your typical school day might be something like this:
At 6:30 the three boys on the breakfast cook squad roll out and go down to the kitchen to start breakfast. The other boys wake up a short time later, and most of them go to breakfast about 7 or 7:30 o'clock. You already are familiar with what happens during the average school day, and it is more or less the same no matter where you live. Another four boys prepare the evening meal. Following that comes the usual horseplay for a while, and at 8 o'clock quiet hours begin for the remainder of the night.
Study rooms have facilities for four men. A built-in locker across one wall has a clothes cupboard and four rows of drawers, for the personal possessions of the men.
Frosh Y Groups To State Lake
Freshmen Y.M.C.A. members will leave the Y.M.C.A. office at 11:30 Saturday morning for an outing at State lake. At 1:15 p.m. Dr. F. C. Allen will talk, and after that members will divide into discussion groups under Henry Van Swearingen and Prof. R. H. Wheeler.
The hours from 3 to 5 will be given over to recreation. Following supper, campfire singing will be held and a talk on the student Christian movement by Rev. Carroll Moon, new regional secretary of the Y.M.C.A. Hal Cook, a member of the Student Christian movement in Australia and recently returned to this country, will also give an informal talk.
A list of the upper-classmen who will attend along with the cabinet includes: Bill Fermer, l'41, Bob McKay, l'43, Leland Huddleston, b'41, Hugh Bruner, b'41, Carter Butler, c'41, Jack Dunagin, c'42, Jim Surface, c'42, Clint Kanaga, c'42, and Howard Engleman, b'41.
First W.S.G.A. Tea Held Yesterday.
The first of the weekly W.S.G.A. tea was held yesterday afternoon from 3 to 5 p.m. in the women's lounge of Frank Strong hall.
Girls who are members of the W. S.G.A. council acted as hostesses to freshmen women.
Jean Klusman, fa'41, was Ān charge of the arrangements.
Next to the locker is a mirror surrounded by shelves and provided with two outlets for those who have electric razors.
A highlight of the evening is when you decide to go down to the kitchen for a bite to eat off the "snack shelf." This shelf is provided for in the budget and the boys are free to use it at any time. Of course, they have all promised beforehand that they will not take any other food in the kitchen.
Just in case you had forgotten to put your socks in the laundry bag the last time you sent it home, there is a wash room in the south wing of the house equipped with two tubs, drying lines and an electric iron. After a few days in the Hall you would find that this room is used much more than you expected. Many of the boys do their washing and ironing there.
When finally you are tired of studying and want to go to bed, go up to the third floor to the dormitory and pile into bed. This room is equipped with double-deck spring mattress beds.
CYCLONES TO MISS--with the United States now was in prospect. Army inspector Gen. Marcelino Bergalli, and Air Force Chief Lieut. Col. Oscar Gestido left Buenos
LaVerne McGraw, and William Jahn,
in reserve. Lang has proved himself
a good pass receiver while Heggen
excels on defense.
At tackle will be 200-pound Bernard Mickelson, one of the bright spots in last year's dull season, and Leonard Thomas, 210-pound junior who was not out for football last fall but was impressive in the spring drills. Backing up the starters will be Melvin Happe, a letterman from last year, Jim Cobb, a minor letter winner a year ago, and four sophomores, William Barger, Ray Tenhoff, Stewart Barnes, and Lloyd Schubert.
Captain Tom Smith, who weighs in at 190 pounds, and LaVerne Lewis, a 180-pounder, are expected to start at the guard positions. Next in line are Robert Burrell, who alternated with Lewis last fall at left guard, and Ernest Mueller, a 2-year letterman. Leading sophomores are Homer Libbey, Robert Burge, Paul Salzman, and Ray Mitchell.
Robert Kirkpatrick, 185-pound junior, who was understudy to Jack West last season, is scheduled to take over the center post this fall. Other candidates for this position are Stanley Brown, 190 pound minor letter winner last year, and Robert Kline, 170-pound sophomore.
The Cyclones must play Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas State on foreign gridirons this fall while entertaining Kansas and Oklahoma at Clyde Williams Field in Ames. The non-conference schedule, which includes Luther, Denver, Marquette, and Drake could in no way be called dangerous, so while the Iowa State eleven is not likely to cut a wide swath in the Big Six championship race, Jim Yeager's athletes may provide an upset or two and should better their last year's record of two victories and seven defeats.

Freshmen To Apply For Intramural Jobs
Applications for positions as freshmen intramural managers should be made in writing to Lee Huddleston, senior manager of the committee, room 107, Robinson gymnasium. The applications should be turned in not later than October 2.
The candidates will be interviewed and selections will be made by a committee composed of the senior intramural manager, supervisor of intramurals, and a member of the Men's Student Council. Four freshmen will be selected.
Of the six eligible upperclassmen on the present board, only five will be selected to continue on the board.
More Women Needed For New Courses In Social Dancing
All students interested in "brushing up" on their social dancing will be given the opportunity in the two social dancing courses offered this fall under the direction of Miss Katherine Dunkel, physical education instructor. There is a need for more women in both classes, since at the present time the enrollment consists largely of men. The beginner's class will be held at 2:30 on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and the intermediate class at 2:30 on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Those who enroll in one of the courses will receive one credit a semester, but anyone may audit the classes without credit.
The swimming pool will be open to all women from 3:30 until 4:30 every day except Thursday, and from 10:00 until 12:00 on Saturday. This Saturday will be an exception because of Quack club tryouts. There is no charge and a life guard will be on duty every open hour.
Guard Against Nazi Activity
Montevideo, Uruguay, Sept. 26.—(UP)—An anti-Nazi campaign was extended today throughout this smallest South American republic.
The preamble to the decree said that the arrest of eight Nazi leaders, suspected authors of the so-called "fuhrmann plan" to seize Uruguay for Germany within 20 days, had failed to end the peril. It said that Uruguay had made "international promises" at the Pan-American conferences in Lima, Panama and Havana to "repress undue intervention from foreign organizations within its borders," and that the situation now called for action.
Stirred by evidence of agitation and plotting, for which the foreign office has bluntly blamed the German Embassy, President Gen. Alfredo Baldomir last night signed a decree drawn up by the ministers of interior and defense cailing on all police, soldiers and citizens to be on the alert and report immediately any signs of "propaganda or action which might endanger the national sovereignty or public order."
The eight Nazi suspects await trial. At the time of their arrest and the discovery of the "fuhrmann plan" in June, Uruguay had appealed for armed aid from Argentina, Brazil and the United States. It was believed that a military understanding
Aries yesterday enrouts to the United States where, it was understood, they will buy coastal defense guns.
