'A^T ABOUT THE iiUDlTORlUM?
Why do wo have to walk around the
auditorium? Why can't wo bo treated like
other students? Why can't college stud*»
ents walk through the auditorium?
This has been gone over several
times, but not so seriously. Perhaps we
got ourselves into this disturbing sit»
uation, but how? Wo go to school in
Milne. Our cafeteria, through no fault
of ours, happens to be in the colloge
bulldlrigs. Wo must roach it somehow. Up
to this time it has been tur custom to via the auditorium. Now ^he girls may
reach there inside the building. However,
in order to do this wo must go down the
boys' locker room stairs, through the
hallway, up the stairs in front of P^og©
Hall and down the other side. From there
we must go through the girls' lockor
room, up the stairs to Eichardson Hall,
t h r o u ^ more halls, and finally dcwn the
stairs to the cafotcria. All this in*Volvos fivo stal'rwoys which m-ust be

we have an orchestra in ..KMiie? An attempt has beon made recently to start
such an organization. What happened to
it?"
Of course, in discussing
such a
Question, we must realize what difficulties wo are up against,, We find that
there is a lack of directors,, a lack 3f
time to practice and v/ort--t of all there
is not enough interest tukon by enou^sh
musicians to make it
success.^ Eono of

the bill for us«

going to be ii surprise to all of. us.We
Wish tliat you Kids who hfc.v©n*t haailod
in your blanks yet would do so.Don't
forget.
Those Junior girls have always
been and alweys will be a source of constant surprise to us all. Fran Seymour
was out this week-end with none other
than "Esquire" Doug McKean. Wonder if
Peg Jantz is losing her appeal?????????
To top off the "lovQ-trlangle" jQck-S.

at th§ same time—with "Lovely to look
at" M|.dge Stanton* Also^ what is this
rUmor we've been hearing 'about Mtdge
and Gordie Wendell????? Another good
name for Gordon would be Robert Taylor.
Liz Simmons is another one of the
fy^mous Milne "sirens". So far,this year,

you leave a few of them for us, Llz????7
Another little heart-breaker is
cute Kay Newton. We like her best with
Dick Selkirk—.and—from all reports—so
does Dick.
Another thing that has been bothering us,is, whether or not Margie Pond
went home with the drummer in the band
last Saturday nite or not???????
Here's something else that was new

THE COMlvIENTATOR
It's a sad story, but it's true; we
lost our fiaal game last Saturday night
to Phillip Schuyler 20-326 When
we
played Schuyler the last time the score
was exactly the snme. it was a good
game Saturday but the Milne boys were
just a little too ragged on the plays.
In the third q^uarter it looked as if we
had a real chance, but the 17-19 score
did net last long.
£ob Taft, who was high scorer egainst Schuyler, made the all Albany second team® He deserves a big hand from
all of us. One of our most valuable
players, he was in the thick of battle
in every game. Making the all Albany
team proves beyond doubt that he is a
real player. Congratulations, Eobl
Now that the season is over every
one looks back and forms some sort of
opinion about it. This column believes
that the season was a good one. Even
though we lost 10 out of 14 games there
is the story of a real battle, plenty
of thrills and tense moments behind each
of those gemes. The very fact that over
half of those we lost were lost within
4 points shows that they -^re all thrilling, hard-fought games.
And after all, It's not how many we
won or lost that coants, but the way we
played them. Next week I'll give you a
list of all the games and each score.
It seems like we're going to see
some real society sportsmanship from now
on.Theta Nu and Adelphol are going to
have a bowling tournament this afternoon up at the Rice Bowling Alleys next
