THE SENIOR OPINION . . . Attending Yvashburn for a period ol four years has meant more to us than mere learning from books. lt has meant the strengthening of ideals and the renewal of ambitions-some of which we hope can be realized. Vife have learned the best principles of leadership by belonging to and holding olhces in the various organizations. These experiences have stimulated and influenced our personalities. In leisure hours, and in extra-curricular activities, we have learned the pleasure and value of co- operating with others. Leisure is our big problem. We spend our leisure time at shows, drinking cokes, and in bull sessions. What Washburn needs is a student union building or an informal room where students could spend a part of their leisure time talking and studying together as a WashlJu1'i1 group and not as a social or class group. The trophy room in the field house would be suitable for such a lounge if it were equipped with some comfortable chairs, wood logs for the fire- place, and sports made available in the gym. Perhaps this idea might be worked out as a class project, as a suggestion from us seniors who, alter four years at Washburn, are beginning to realize only vaguely the incalculable learning, both factual and practical, which the typical col- lege offers.
