m AS DARWIN SAID :©w T( A LIBEMAL EBUCATIIOIM, SC©TT STYLE So — you are in the midst of midterms (but didn ' t they start the third weetc of the quarter, and isn ' t this the seventh?) and you have three papers due within just as many days. Congratulations. You have just discovered the liberal arts syndrome. Basically the philosophy is that each professor does his or her own thing and you try to do theirs all at the same time. The basic symptoms of this dread disease, besides those listed above, are a sudden kinship with the books on the fourth stack of the library, talking in your sleep wherein you blaspheme your (liberal) education and scare your roommate, staying up to unearthly hours (that were certainly meant only for p artying), a tendency to eat fast and a lot (even though the dining hall food has never turned you on before) and recurrent dreams featuring: a) the librarians; b) great artists and their works; c) the Krebs Cycle — in correct order (but you couldn ' t do it if you were awake); d) Moby Dick; e) Ishmael; f) Shakespearean orations; g) the Terror, featuring you as chief headman and your profs as the fated enemies of your college career; h) any of the above; i) all of the above. What to do? Buy stock in the Coke company — you will probably drink enough Tab to make thirty rats have cancer. Then, do your best to grin and bear it — the break will be here soon. S]

STAYIN ' ALIVE: ' ' What! You mean there are no men at this school? .—;-•=» Sorry girls — this is a women ' s college. What? they didn ' t tell you before you signed your life away on the dotted line? Surely you jest — but — not to worry. There are escape routes. May we suggest TGlF ' s, Tech and Emory, not to men- tion the wealth of men in Atlanta? There is bound to be some- one or something out there at least moderately acceptable for your stay at Scott. It has never stopped anyone before, though I would not suggest Scott as a source for an M.R.S. degree — the resources are a bit limited in that respect. However, fall rush parties and TGIF parties offer an excellent way to meet men with little or no effort. Plus, you have the moral support of forty or fifty other Scotties who are bound to be ar ound. They may present a bit of competition, but with a little effort, even that can be overcome. f, i m
