Beat Eau Claire Price 7 cents CONFERENCE SEASON OPENS SATURDAY College Building Improved During Vacation EAU CLAIRE TO BEGIN SEASON ALTERATIONS AND HERE SATURDAY CLEANING GIVEN COLLEGE ROOMS Cre.rw Kept Wor·k ing Every Day During· Vacation Except Xmas Day Christmas Vacation gave the administration an opportunity to add a number of improvements to the building that are very noticeable. Besides alterations and painting in the various departments the entire building was given a very thorough cleaning. NO VACATiON Almost everyone enjoyed a full two weeks vacation except the president. Mr. Hyer was at his desk in the president's office every day but two caring for college business and directing the car>penters, masons, a n d painters at work in the building. Rooms Painted Professor Neale's office, Profess•or Spindler '·s and M i s s Church's class rooms were cleaned and painted. The library office was cleaned and a partition removed making the main office' almost twice as large as it formerly was. The work office underwent a change that added much to the floor space of the room. Athletic Rooms Improved The most noticeable improvement has been made down in the offices of Coach Kotal. Partitions have been removed and doors constructed to allow freedom in passing from the offices into the supply r o oms. The change has given the assistant coach, M•itchell; an ·o ffice separate from the one occupied by the head coach. Two Co-Eds At Buffalo Meeting During the Christmas holidays, from Dec. 29 to Jan. 3, two girls, Jov Oleson and Katherine Wigai~s attended an International 0 .

Students are requested to drop in during their spare minutes and look it over. This will lighten the burdens of the respective department heads in arranging your next semester's program. Mr. Steiner will receive all comments and suggestions relative to changes which would be of mutual benefit.

Much discussion went on before the three year people chose Friday instead of the following Saturday. President Cedric Vig announced his selection of committees for the social event. The administration of the prom will be handled by the following: Prom Chairman Burton Hotvedt MusicClarence Styza - Chairman Dorothy McLain Oscar Christenson ln~vitation Patricia Cowan - Chairman Pearl Merrill William Scribner Decorations Natalie Gorski - Chairman Ruth Lippke Henry Vullings (Continued on page 8, col. 1 ) (Continued on page 3, col. 3) Dozen Enter In Contest For The sCh00I 0 rator Student Body Will Occ:upy The South Section ; Band Is To Play The conference cage season o.pens with a bang Saturday mght when the experienlCed Eau Claire quintet invades the local courts to meet Coach "Eddie" Kotal 's quintet. This will be the basketeers first taste of conference competition- here's hoping it's vanilla. Coach An Alumnus A naturally hard-fought battle has all the prospects of becoming a "grudge" fight, in that Eau Claire and the Pointers have always been traditional rivals. Coach Willis "Mopey" Zorn, former college athlete and University of Chicago star, always has a strong squad, and seems to enjoy smearing his alma mater. Varsity Not Chosen Coach Kotal has his squad in good shape for the game, practice scrimmages with Lawrence College and an alumni team rproviding the final tuning-up. As yet, no varsity five has been ·chosen, but men who will undoubtedly see action are. Chvala, Cashman, Thompso~ Gre-gory, Alberts, An· drae, Baltc\j t\.rrl Petel"Son. Reserved Seats Reserved seats for all conference games were placed on sale W edn,esday. This will entail an extra charge of twenty-five cents in addition to the student ticket. The band will play at the game Saturday evening, and will be seated in the south section. The students' reserved section will be in the center.
