Learning to Deal With Problems But these external preparations are not so impor- tant as the internal and the spiritual. So Rev. Marlin Hardman speaks to us in the Spiritual Life meetings about dealing with problems (claiming his major one to be the lack of sufficient hair). The thrust of his mes- sages can be summarized in the admonition he gives to Pray, really pray — sound advice, to be sure, for those in the throes of semester registration. The week comes to an end with a night of freshmen initiation rites. The Nazi regime of Colonel Zopfi and Pvt. Hughson, afraid that no one will attend their Kangaroo Court, posts required attendance and takes pleasure in jumping all over their dumkoft victims. With this we take a last breath of leisure and face the oncoming marathon of classes, homework, and tests. 20 Spiritual Life Meetings
