y Will The North Lounge The Great Finale ... Become An Aquarium?

BY MAKYANN BIRD "Usually reliable" sources this week informed the SIGNAL that Ph elps North Lounge, currently inaccessible due to CUB- installed doors, will be turned into an aquarium. In i ts present state, the room lends itself well to such use. One wall is solid brick, while the wall facing it has large windows allowing clear visibility inside. Although both ends of the lounge are sealed off from student access, the new doors have large glass windows, enabling observers to obtain an excellent view of the ex-lounge. The Pennington Road Fire Company will reportedly fill the room w ith water early next week, and rare tropical fish and plant-life will be acquired shortly thereafter. What life remains in Lakes Ceva and Sylva will also be transferred when the ice which now covers both lakes melts. Besides providing fascination for students and faculty alike, the new aq uarium will be a valuable instructional tool for both students of biology and Herman Melville. A special sub-committee of the College Union Board will change th e water daily and will be responsible for the general upkeep of the aquarium. The popular programming committee of the Student Execu­ tive Board will arrange special presentations in the aquarium for Spring Weekend, including an underwater ballet, a demon­ stration of by visiting Naval recrui­ ters, glass-bottom boat rides (featuring Doris Day) and a Photo By Mike Szymc.tufi concert by Country Joe and the Fish. Linda Radice is just one of the many students who is cramming for final exams.
