...crush of female room applications has now forced the university to make over Dykstra Hall as well. Originally all male, it will now house girls on the top four of its ten floors. Last week Dean of Residence Byron Atkinson was busily arranging "suitable security measures." Among them: thick walls between male and female elevators. Since the fire-escape doors open down, Atkinson presumes that they are "safe" (if only the men are aggressors). "We are not planning to set up flamethrowers or machine guns at strategic passes," said he. "All we can do is try not to make...
...alone.* At long last, British women discovered that they knew better, suddenly recognized what a difference a little lipstick can make. To meet the booming demand for cosmetics, U.S. companies such as Helena Rubinstein, Elizabeth Arden and Revlon have moved in alongside such traditional powder-and-scent houses as Atkinson, Goya and Yardley to take aim on a $300 million-a-year business.

But last week the mantle fell on Howard Taubman, 52, a first-rate reporter as well as the Times's music critic for the past five years, who thus takes over the most prestigious aisle job in the press world...
Once interested, Harvardman ('17) Atkinson fixed his sights on an aisle seat in New York. Getting there involved five years of apprenticeship on two Massachusetts papers and a brief digression as English instructor at Dartmouth. By 1922 he was within strolling distance of Broadway, editing the Sunday book section of the Times; and three years later, when the Times's Drama Critic Stark Young resigned, Atkinson took Young's place...
