Associated Women Students

alisonr — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 22:35:15 +0000

“Charting the road map for women’s activities is the representative of the female population, Jeanne Eaton. Sights along the road include: Coed Capers, when the gals put on a variety show for the fellas; and Song-Fest, when music time comes around. Your only requirement for membership is assertion of your belonging to the ‘fair’ sex.”

“The Rose Bowl Game climaxed a thrill-packed campaign for Troy’s Gridiron Gladiators this year. Closing with an 8-3 record, the Trojans near upset over Notre Dame and holding down Ohio State in the New Year’s Day classic had the experts talking long after the final whistle. . .Though this isn’t a Bowl year, Troy will be out to recapture the Victory bell and dethrone our ‘friends from Westwood.’”

Track and Field

“The Trojans have few peers in the cinder sport. Claimants of the longest dual meet streak in track and field history with 104 consecutive dual meets without a loss, the Trojans have also won 21 of the 31 NCAA meets competed in. In the Pacific Coast Conference action, the Trojans were defeated but once from 1928 through 1959 in the league meet.”

George Tirebiter

“Time was when George Tirebiter, SC’s shaggy dog mascot, would slip into Bovard after a hot morning of snapping at speeding autos on University Avenue and listen to Dr. Russell Caldwell’s rare blending of American history and American humor. Adopted by the students, Tirebiter was dutifully in attendance at our football games, his wild barking and excitement being interpreted as a dog’s way of expressing joy.”

The Row

“On 28th Street, stretching from Figueroa to Hoover, is the Row. Here, and on the adjoining streets, are housed the 33 fraternities and the 15 sororities of our campus. Every Monday night all of the individual houses gather for dinner and their pledge and active meetings. Afterwards they pour out onto the street for an evening of socializing. The air is constantly alive with the excitement of this, the most colorful part of Troy.”

Songfest

“Over 10,000 people are expected to attend this year’s 10th annual Songfest. Songfest made its successful debut in the Greek Theater in 1954 and moved to the Hollywood Bowl in 1956. ‘The’ social event of the school year, Songfest draws many university organizations and living groups to compete for the ‘Tommy’ trophy and other awards.”

Typewriters

“That steady clikita-clack heard on Doheny Library’s ground floor toward semester’s end is the merry noise of frantically punched typewriters rushing those this-is-the-last-chance-you-have term papers through. An uninflated dime procures one of these swift machines for a half hour. Hunt and peck specialists who find even this steep, might induce a sweet lassie to type two-pages for a pound of candy. ($1.20)”
– SCampus 1953-54

Student Quotes About the Libraries

alisonr — Tue, 28 Aug 2007 22:16:45 +0000

“Doheny is a beautiful building, but inside it’s like a maze – someone could die in the stacks and not be found for years.”

“I’ve found so many interesting books there that I don’t need; it’s the ones I’m looking for that I can never find.”

– SCampus 1972-73
