CLASSES RESUME MONDAY AT EIGHT Sleepy, unshaven, somewhat dazed students, cursing a treacherous administration, Poor Richard, and all other advocates of early to rise, stumbled to eight-o ' clocks. Some were bolstered by coffee, some had breakfasted well on three cigarettes, others, less fortunate, just stumbled. The days began for some at five or six when they got up for pre- quiz cramming. They ended for others at four the next morning when they dropped books and fell asleep at desks. Between beginni ng and end, some played, some loafed, some worked, but most attended classes and most studied. They studied everywhere. In the grill, linguists mumbled irregular verbs as the jukebox screamed Poison Ivy. majors with open copies of Case Histories of Vampires and Education students reading Ethical in Children ' s Literature rushed to their next classes. Engineers, delighting in the newly installed Muzak system, spilled the cafeteria ' s incomparable coffee on slide rules. At Sardis, pharmacists got suntans while memorizing the formula for Vick ' s Salve. They studied everything, every- where. Biology labs go on endlessly. The constantly rustling of pages of numerous tomes, the creaking of chairs, the shuffling of feet, the hoarse whispers create an phere not the least conducive to study. Not even a brilliant lecture can capture the intellect of some as each professor soon learns that whispers and note-passing are brought from high school by a few.

At registration, freshmen confidentially listed majors on their number 9, 14, 87, and 1063 cards, while seniors puzzled and then wrote undecided. Everyone fought for desired sections and preferred instructors. At first classes, profes- sors and students eyed each other warily. Assignments began immediately. Term papers made the librarians feel useful, as all but a favored few crowded the circulation desks. Re- Books in the hall are a sure sign that freshmen are going through some mental gymnastics over an exam for which they stayed up all night studying.
