Academic Activities The Thirst for Knowledge burns within every student at the University of California, at least this is what we are told should burn within us ! However with all the projects and term papers assigned and the hours spent in RBR waiting for that certain required book, we haven ' t got time to ask ourselves if we really do thirst or not. Then mid-terms and finals come, and all we can do is hope the knowledge is there. And then after vacation the whirlwind starts again. Fall and Spring, Fall and Spring, for four years, the same old thing. It is only at the end of them that we begin to realize we should have spent less time in Faculty Glade and more time thirsting. 21
