CORKS AND CAKING
I OK UKim
McLAUGHLlN.
"Write about something; I can
understandlike cokes and cig
arettes and stuff," the Karma
asked. "You're too deep for me."
So we checked up on the dis
sipation dens adjoining; the cam
pus. And we found that carousing
differed from den to den in a man
ner that might be made the basis
cf decidedly interesting' specula
tion. The campus cokes most pop
ularly the same flavor in the big
three rendezvouses: Cherry. At
the Moon, this favorite is sec
onded In rank by lemon, with
chocolate third. At the Drug,
"plain" runs second best, fol
lowed by lime. At the Campus,
plain is second, lemon third,
closely followed by chocolate. .
Caking at the Drug and the
Moon is mostly unmixed, at least
.as the customers come in the door.
The Moon draws heavily from the
law college, and practically has
permanent fixtures from the
speech department. At the Drug,
were told, "the boys and the girls
come separately, and get together
Inside." But the Campus Minis
heavily to couple trade, especially
from 8 to 10:30 on week clays.
Ths Long and Short of It.
Length of dissipation varies
from the split second required to
gulp a coke to entire mornings,
afternoons, or evenings. Turnover
at the Moon is comparatively
rapid, with 45 minutes amounting
to a long session. At the Uni the
time varies from ten minutes to
"most of the day." At the Campus,
four hours is about the maximum
slick-around.
What, besides gossip, date
wangling, and imhihing goes on
In these dissipation headquarters?
Card playing whiles away hours
at the Moon, with the lawyers be
ing particularly addicted to out
smarting each other. Penny-matching
has been known to occur.
Some foolish but hardy souls seem
to study, "Rltho," one of the wait
resses exclaims, "I don't know how
they do it."
At the Drug, also, studying is
very much a "try to" affair. But
at the campus there are many
book sessions, especially in the
evening. Why is the campus a
good spot for class preparation?
"Because," one of the boys in
charge decides, "you can concen
trate here. Most kids feel the
way I do that it's too quiet in
the library to study."
Comes a Pause in the Day.
The coke hour? The Moon,
which is most frequented Mondays,
is busiest cakiiv; from 10 to noon.
Tile Drug does its land office busi
ness on Mondny, most particularly
about 3 o'clock -"because lots of
klcls have 2 o'clock on Monday."
Wednesday is the big dav at the
Campus, with the most customers
from 3 to ft. and from 11 to J2.
"Kids skip their Wednesday 11
'o'clocks to break the week up -no
foolm'."
Anil when we have told you
that Campusers and Mooncrs pre
fer hamburgers heavily over any
other sandwich, while Mooncrs
take bam salad, we have com
pleted our revelations on near
ranipus dissipation. No longer pri
vate is the appetite of Cokey Joe
and .Josephine College.

Reference Librarian Faces
Problems of Sealing, Rain
Valuable Research Material
Housed in Odd Niches
Of Old Structure.
By Sarah Louise Meyer.
It was during the comparatively
mild drizzle of the Oklahoma
game. One bucket near the win
dows of he reference room was
rapidly filling with excess rain
which visited the library thru
holes, cracks, and a porous ceiling.
Miss Clara Craig, reference li
brarian, in deep consternation for
the volumes in her care, requested
another leakage catching recept
acle. "I'll see," replied the harassed
janitor, "if I can find another
that's not being used up in the at
tic (reserve room)."
Capacity of Ten.
But heavenly downpours, unfor
tunately, are comparatively small
woes amid the many reference
room problems of Miss Craig. The
most pressing one by far is how
to handle the daily throngs of ref
crence seeking students and where
to seat them while they work.
The reference room that tiny,
much frequented cubicle off the
north west corner of the general
reading room can seat ten per
sons. This is not the minimum,
or even the average, but rather
the absolute, top rapacity. And
when there is a reference room
"full house," one must step over
feet and around extra chairs to
move about the room, discommode
workers to use the files and

Overflow Inconvenienced.
Overflow must be sent out into
the general reading room, which
means that such students are in
convenienced in their use of the
reference material have inade
quate tabic space for atlas work,
and that reference volumes be
come misplaced or even perma
nently "walked away with." So
the necessitated "outside housing"
of reference workers is highly un
satisfactory. Equally troublesome
is the inadequacy of the reference
room in shelving essential refer
ence works. Many books which
Miss Craig feels belong in easy
availability in the reference room
must be kept in the non-circulating
stacks, to be sent for as need
ed. Which takes time, sometimes
out of all proportion to the short,
if important use of the stack

But there is much valuable ref

That's easy-report it. to the po
lice and give all the help in your
power to try to recover your loss.
Thai's what the- average person
would do, hut here is a case of a
man who didn't.
Sergeant Regler was called to
the Ag campus Tuesday to investi
gate a reported robbery of $.121.
The victim turned out to be a man
from Wisconsin who was testing
tractors for the ag college. He re
ported that he had been robbed
of that sum, which he had been
carrying in his pocket. Strange
part of the whole case was that
he wanted no publicity and no in
vestigation. Wanted No Investigation.
With the money was a Wiscon
sin driver's license and an Amer
ican Legion membership card. The
possibility that there might be
some good poker players in the
American Legion was suggested to
him, but he said that the money
hadn't been lost in that way. He
also admitted that he might possi
bly have "lost It."
Pgt. Regler reported the case
as being the strangest one in his
experience.
