BY PROFESSOR
A first and last
the new Home Ec
afforded a group of faculty mem
bers and others on ag campus re
cently. It was an experience that
provoked mixed feeling satisfac
tion that the army is getting
such superb quarters for its pro
cessing program, and regret that
the home ec faculty and students
will have to postpone the "house
warming" for the duration.
It contains all the modern con
veniences, in prospect at least, and
more too. The home ec student
who sits down to manage the
model home on the second floor
some day after the war will have
all that it takes to make a house
a home, with the possible excep
tion of the superfluous decorative
touch a husband. And without
much difficulty, she should on
graduation, be easily able to add
him.
Best in Nation.
The building will provide train
ing second to none in the land and
in a setting equally supreme. But
the story is getting ahead of us.
We are on a brief tour of the
Home Ec building, newest on the
campus.
Miss Margaret gathered a
group together recently to make
the new building," she smiled as
Praise
at Ag
the tour. "Last chance to see
she invited us to join her at the
main entrance to begin the tour.
"The army takes over tomorrow."
The tour began top floor first
in order not to interfere with an
other group also going through.
We entered an attractive foyer,
climbed a handsome staircase, and
walking down the corridor, gently
Gothic in its contours, found our
selves in the great kitchen.
Equipment was ont yet installed,
of course, but we could picture in
the spacious, scientifically-venti
lated room, the rows of shining
tables, stoves and refrigerators
that one day would be busily in
use.
Modern Floor Covering.
The flooring, the same through
out the building is noiseless, easy
to clean, and attractive in color
and design. It's a new composi
tion, basically asphalt, and should
stand the tramp of soldiers as
well as countless coeds of the fu
ture. Leavipg this room where
one day flavors and savors will
be created, we took a peek at the
store rooms, shelves and bins ga
lore and all to be labelled in what
ever Dev.-ey Decimal system home
economists use for the storage of
staples and perishables not to
mention utensils of high and low
degree, from frying pans to pros-
r
sure cookers.
Descending the stairs, we came
upon the administrative offices
the pleasant reception office which
is flanked down the corridor by
faculty offices. On this floor is
the model home kitchen, dining
room and living room which
through tts wide low windows
opens to a charming view of the
campus A harmony of classic
and modern lines is to be noted.
A touch of eighteenth century but
the roomy airiness of the modern
design in evidence, too. Home ec
students will some day, as part of
their requirement, act as hostess
of this model home.
After the tour of the second
floor we descended to the first
to see the general dining room
the cafeteria, and to study in
greater detail some of the fea
tures.
The dining room, even in its
present unequipped state, shows
promise of being one of the most
interesting features of the build
ing. A reception room adjoining
will provide space for dancing
and for traditional meetings and
receptions held during the college
vear. At the time of our tour
this room was the temporary
storehouse for about two hundred
mattresses, intended for the in
coming cadets.

Chatter
By Rudy SrbJ
Old waxing by Benny Goodman
of Intermezzo' is definitely out
of this world. B. G. and George
Auld collaborate with straight but
beautiful solos. The brass and sax
sections play like B. G's. old band.
On opposite side you 11 find the fin
est "Amanda" yet (I think). It's
embellishment is due to a T. B.
addict, Eddie Sauter, who is one of
the five finest arrangers and com
posers in the U. S. A. B. G's. clary
and Forrest's chirping are out
standing, but that drive brass sec
tion takes no back seat.
Second (you should get) record
for jive hounds only: "K. K.
Boogie." This was played by a six
piece colored combo which includes
Red Allen, leaders, and Bob Kavle,
who wrote the number. This lac
quer job displays some terrific
solos by J. C. Higginbottom, whose
licks and speed never run out on
the pump, Edmund Hill, with some
knocked out stick. Red Allen,
whose horn sends chills down your
spine, and to top it off Bob Kaylc
tears the keys right off the ivories
with his technique to present a
terrific recording.
All told this record is one of
the fastest and most underrated
waxings I know of. The turnover
is a jam of Swanee River like
you've never heard. Solos are
wonderful and especially note
woithy is the singing of Red Allen.
Though the words are hardly un
derstandable, or.e gets the feeling
which is expressive of modern
Negro.
Have You Heard
1. That Johnny Guianieri, ex
Goodman and Shaw ivory tickler.
has left Jimmy Dorsey to join
Raymond Scott!
2. That Charley Barnet played
alto sax on a one night stand
with Duke Ellington! He subbed
for Dick Gilbert and featured in
"Rocking in Rhythm," whicfr it
one of Charlie's standbys as well'
as a Duke original.
3. That Dick Haynes left T. D j
to 'start out on his own! Bob
Davis, former Krupa chirp, will'
replace Haynes.
Most Embarrassing Moment
Recently C. S. (Charley Spivak)
played on the Fitch Bandwagon.
It seems that Charlie, like all
musicians, had no Idea of the time,
and the fellows in the band hur
ried him up to the bandstand. On
the engineer's signal, Charlie gave
a big downbeat on a iumn tune
and expected a terrific blast, but
got O, or nothing in other words.

AMES, la., April 14 Iowa
State college, directing its entire
curricula toward aiding the war
effort, will start the 1943 school
year June 8.
Freshman Days, the period of
orientation for newcomers to the
campus, will begin June 4.
The 1943 summer quarter cata
log lists 145 more courses than
the same listing showed for 1942,
an increase of 24 percent in course
offerings. Among the new courses
which are of special interest to
men and women looking forward
to service in the armed forces are
mafJ reading, mathematics of navi
gation, descriptive meteorology,
medical and sanitary entomology,
nursery school planning, and edu
cation and the war.
In addition to the regular c-lats-room
work, all of which is shaped
now to aid the war effort, Iowa
State will continue to teach some
1.500 navy men in electrical, die I,
aviation, and cooks and bakers
schools. The college will also add
the teaching load of army and
navy specialized training courts
to the regular schedule.
