TYPICAL SCENES ARTS CLASSES Comes a student to Lehigh from a prep school in the high rocky mountains. At the drop of a hat lie is willing to defend his state. However, one of the faculty members takes him into hand and slums him that this is a university where the individual is Icing. He is allowed to elect all of the snap courses he cares to and even to eliminate those cursed eight-o ' clocks. Life is glorious and he has not a care in the world. He plays soccer and fills his lungs with the good old Bethlehem air. Before he has had time to think of hooks or professors those grim mid-semesters roll around and when valentines come out. he is on probation for the second h,,ll of the semester. Nothing daunted he lightly troops on. Galloping through the courses he is very much surprised when all the work suddenly comes due at once and he must rack his brains for the answers. Then come exams and needless to say he does miserably. The end ol the tale is obvious and also is it obvious that not everyone can go to an arts college and simply attend classes. Usually both ol the other colleges look upon the arts school as an easy place where there is no studying, hut those who know realize that this school is not the most likely place to have a good time. It is really designed to educate the student thoroughly in the various divisions of the arts and sciences.

When the math prof gets that gleam in his eye it can mean only one thing, go to the board, a pitfall for the stu- dents when they are caught un- prepared. History seminar classes are just the place for informal class dis- cussions, but be it history or politics still the prof winds up on the winning side of the talk. An arts man uses a slide rule! practically impossible, but here is prool that in the math courses the slide rule is a mighty handy weapon.
