of th e University from Edaho Now, folks, here is P honey hall on the left and Ridemboy on the right. H azy hall , where the boss lives, is down there below Phoney. Now we are turning into the half acre of campus proper. On your left is the Engineering building, so-called because all campus politics are engineered in Neva R ice's office in here. Now we approach the majestic Ad building, the only thing that has been on the campus longer than H umpy Ellis. Before you now appears t he old gymnasium, which, if it could talk, could tell you of the old days when Edaho was just a pappoose, and rolled stockings were permitted. Down the lane there is ~ Iorrill hall, the home of those :\gs. No, lady, we can't drive down that way. T he air isn't so good. Here on the corner is the old heating plant, the entrance to the winter quarters of the Arboretum Boosters L eague. Yes, the pipe line is warm in winter . We now draw abreast of the New 1emorial Gymnasium, which was built last summer and may stand up until next. This magnificent edifice, which so closely resembles St. Paul's of London on a foggy night, is the home of two basketballs, a pair of shoestrings, seven towels and a pair and one-half of baseball socks, any of which articles may be borrowed from Cap Bryan by signing your name in a dozen places and putting up a thousand dollar bond to protect the university against loss by wear. An oversize bird bath also reposes in the basement of this building, in which boys and girls may go bathing at the convenience of the hired help. The only rule is that boys can not go near the pool the same week as t he girls are using it. And, folks, last but not least is the arboretum, where t he nigh twatchman strolls about in the evenings, listening to the whippoorwills and Gamma Phis. Business has been rotten this year, due to the wet weather, but experts predict it will pick up during summer school.
