Why arc A. and T. students dis­ satisfied? Having the privilege of living with the students at A. and T., one can very readily discover that they are not supplied with proper entertain­ ment. In the dormitories throughout the campus, students stress their feel­ ings as to the cooperation of the Ad­ ministration on the matter—making their stay a more pleasant one. It is amazing how appropriations can be made to house students on the campus with the construction of new dormitories, for the purpose of enlarging the enrollment, but never docs one hear that a student union building is being discussed or even thought of. Seemingly the idea is 4 Vga* that accommodations will be made as to the shelter, a light meal, and a classroom.

That is to say that the two recreational build­ ings the community center, cannot meet the needs of A. and T.'s in­ habitants. What is more, it is not to be expected. For the city is not the recipient of the hundreds of dol­ lars paid by the students for the sake of fulfilling certain needs. The school should fulfill the needs. A student union building cannot serve its purpose until certain mis­ understandings can be cleared. It would be for the enjoyment of all students, men and women alike. Un­ der existing circumstances the pur­ pose would be partially defeated, in view of the fact that in the afternoon and early evening would the building function most effectively. This is the time when most of the students are free. How can the young ladies en­ joy such an accommodation when they cannot be outside the dormito­ ries after the first sign of a setting sun. It is a misunderstanding in that the fact is overlooked that college young women are capable of stand­ ing on their own. They are trusted out of sight by their parents, why can't it be done here. New dormi­ tories won't be needed if something isn't done to make those in atten­ dance more satisfied. A decline in attendance would bring about a great realization of inadequacies.
