Renamed the William Neely Mallory Memorial Building, it has now become a vital part of the Memphis campaign and is as near a reality as plans can make it. It will house the gymnasium, courts for minor sports, a swimming pool, student lounges, and student offices. Construction immediately after the war with Japan is expected.

The spark which brought the campus to life was the student war bond drive during the month of March. A series of entertain· ments advertising the bond drive, which was staged by the students, excited feverish ac· tivity and interest. The high point of the series was the Gay Nineties Revue, for which admission was charged in war stamps and which was held in Fargason Field House. Student performers traveled in song and dance from the Bowery to the Beach and thence to Gay Broadway for the entertainment of a sell-out house. Ticket sellers ran out of stamps and the ushers ran out of seats. The most popular act was, of course, the Can-Can chorus, made up of eight men stu· dents. The last act was the beauty review with thirty Southwestern coeds competing for five places in the Lynx Beauty Section. The judges of the Beauty contest were Mrs. Jack Fulton, Mallory Chamberlain, Tom Meanley oi the Press-Scimitar, Casey Elliott of the Commercial-Appeal, and Leo Schnei· der. War bond activities opened March 10 with a formal dance in the Field House, given in cooperation with the Naval Air Station at Millington. Naval cadets attended, and the sixteen-piece Naval Air Station orchestra played. Second of the events was a skit night, in which the Greek·letterorganizations completed for a prize and which turned out unexpect• edly well. The Chi Omegas, decked out in long white dresses and pink ribbons, won the loving cup with the portrayal of "Graduation Exercises of Miss Simpleton's School for Girls, June, 1890." The judges were Mallory Cham· berlain, Mrs. Marcia Drennen of the Press· Scimitar, Mike McGee of the Commercial· Appeal, and Dean Theodore Johnson. The A.O.Pi's sponsored the program. S.T.A.B. Inter-sorority defeated Pi in an exciting basketball game played for war stamp admission. But the real feature of the basket· ball program was a game between the boys varsity and a picked team of girls, played ac· cording to girls' rules. The boys wore skirts, but contrived to win by a narrow margin. · The Gay Nineties Revue was the last ac· tivity on the program.
