Saeajestors Prove V-12 Life Has Its Lighter Moments
Did you laugh at the Sacajest fest today in the theatre? If you didn’t you should have, for, if nothing else, the boy* did try their best to amuse you. In case you’re still wondering just what the ominous sounding word Sacajest means, we’ll repeat Bill O’Connor’s mastermind idea. In simple English, it’s the first two letters of each of the ships. Sa is for Santander, Ca for Castro of De Castro, Je comes from Jeune or Le Jeune, and St stands for Stohn. Easy, no?
First on the program was Stohn, the champs of last trimester. Theirs was a very “cultural’’- show what with “Professor” Hardin Goodman reciting Evangeline all the while Sam King, Dickert, Richmond, Larrabee, W h i t e y Baugh, Allen, Harris, Thurmond, Salvatore, and Edge were cavorting. Of course, Goodman wasn’t the least bit perturbed aa lemon meringue pies were being thrown, horns practiced on, ladders and
cases moved about, and volunteers for V-12 being enlisted. Caballero acted as ,eferee.
Second on th> list was the Le-Jeune radio skit. With Citron as announcer,! the following interruptions occurred. Archer,
with incomprehensible news flashes and Frnnksen, with more bulletins, shovjd Citron to the background. Then came Bernstein, Levy, an11 Kohen with some lovely song dedicated to Tangents. A sad story wa^ then told by Urov to Mr. Anthony. “Wildcat Cream OiF’ took a besting as Wilder and Franksen put their all into mas-sacreing word; and tune. The final blow arrived with the singing of “Lay Them Demerits Down,” by Josjepher, Herendeen, Hunter, Brockway, and Trefrey.
After the audience had quieted down DeCastro's unit from Jerk-ville, Arizona, appeared to liven things up. F’iom Levie Smith’s

Good Excuse, lot Poor Practica
It’s g good excuse, but a poor practice.
We mean about the dorm girls being restricted from going to the library in the evening. A number of the girls, whose motives are more altruistic than others, really want to study in the library at night. They have complained to the Hurricane that the restriction is keeping them from doing essential studying—studying in reference works that are not available in their dormitories.
The only way they can get to the library at night, they say, is to sign out for a “date night”—thereby using up a very precious social privilege. And most of them do not have enough “date nights” to get to the library as often as they need to. At a meeting of the girls of the Segovia dorm Wednesday night, it was announced that freshman women, whose social privileges during the week are practically nil, will be given permission to go to the library for “special reasons.”
It is true that when the girls were given library privileges at night, many of them misused the privilege. Many	the
library their social stamping grounds. It was a good place to find a date for Saturday night, to catch up on letter writing, or to enjoy a friendly chat with a V-12. That’s entirely inexcusable. But because of a few who committed misdemeanors, the majority had to suffer.
It has been called to our attention, also, that the ruling is not of library origination, but one made in the dormitories. If girls who don’t live in dormitories aren’t too much of a distraction for the V-12s, are the dormitory girls? Do they have some special charm we town girls lack?
Through the trial and error method, frivolous dorm females can be weeded out of the library at night. The individual dorm councils could handle such matters. Or a separate table might be 9et aside for ‘‘women only” or “women working” to ease the minds of the dormitory officials.
Won’t someone pity the lowly female bookworm ?
