Open Sat., Sun.j0 Who.s Who
Last Saturday night faculty mem- i

gave freely of their time and energy
in an attempt to make life just a
little bit happier for civilians and
V 12 trainees here. They kept Sneed
House over on the South edge of the
campus open for the better part of 1
four hours and furnished games, and
music, and a place to dance. The 1

records, but given time, more and
newer ones will be added. Also quite
obviously lacking was more people.
According to the announcement made
in Assembly Tuesday this open house
is for the students, and the students
alone, and it is felt that if everyone
accepted their school’s hospitality in
greater numbers better arrangements
could be made for the benefit of all.
Dancing will not be held on Sun-
day, but games, etc., will be ready
for all who care to drop in.

The biology department
spending more time this year than
ever before on the study of the dog
fish. Most of the dog fish are
caught on the Atlantic Coast.
They are preserved by formalde-
hyde, the substance that causes
the odor on the student’s hands,
and shipped to the University.
The biology department has al-
ready spent two weeks studying
the dog fish and will not complete
this study till Christmas. The rea-
son so much time is spent on this
subject this year is because of the
pre-medical students.
There has been quite a lot of
talk about the dog fish. Two sor-
ority pledges came into the biolo-
gy laboratory and sang Dr. Jones
a little song about the dog fish.
Dr. Jones said: “I think it would
be better if you do not publish the
song in the Mag&phone.”
The biology department has a
very good enrollment this year.
There are nearly sixty students
studying elementary biology, and
thirty students studying advanced
biology.
“One of the young ladies asked
me to turn the dog fish over on its
back where she could see it bet-
ter,” Dr. Jones said. (Of course
this seemed very amusing to him.
The girls have gotten over their
squeamishness now, however, and
carry on like veteran students.
Dr. Jones said: **I think the girls
really deserve a pat on the back.”
