University of Virginia Library

Thanks To Newcs

I would like to take this
opportunity to thank the student
employees at the Newcomb Hall
Main Desk for their friendly
assistance concerning the recent
S.D.S. meeting. I approached the
desk desiring information as to the
whereabouts of the meeting room.
The student in charge graciously
answered my question and then
quickly added that the meeting was
to be held at 8. All the posted
announcements declared the
proposed time to be 9; however, I
took it for granted that this very
knowledgeable young man was the
better informed. I thanked him for
setting straight this misguided
first-year man.

Unfortunately, the meeting was
not held at 8, but rather at the
originally declared time. Curiously
enough, the few students who
arrived at eight were also informed
by the Newcomb Hall Main Desk of
the time change. The five of us
were joined by the rest of the group
at nine, whereupon I learned that
an eight o'clock meeting time was
never announced to anyone.

I found these facts very
interesting. I even had the audacity
to suspect that certain people in the
University did not wish people to
attend this meeting. I quickly
discarded this thought in view of
the fact that such a liberal-minded
University would never interfere
with student affairs. Besides, no
person bounded to the honor
system would ever mislead a fellow
student.

To this moment I have not
found a suitable explanation for the
preceding affair. I sincerely desire a
viable solution to this enigma.
Anyone having information
pertaining to these events may wish
to contact me personally or perhaps
through The Cavalier Daily.
