CAMPUS (Lnaineetiiia =s4-n.n ex ' he Jjaitii r atn Necessary though it is, the barracks life is but an adjunct to t he serious purpose of college life — training. Within these walls we are quizzed, flunked, and, with luck, passed. But more important, we become proficient in some skill or profession which will enable us to make a living and do our share of the work of the world. To the freshman and to those of us who have not allowed ourselves to become disillusioned these buildings are places of awe, storehouses of the knowledge of the ages, and a source of power and wealth to all who have the perseverance to grasp them. For the rest of us, they are places of drudgery where, men in authority have decreed, we must spend an allotted number of hours before we may pull down the high salaries suppposedly associated with college degrees.

CAMPUS For most, the initial plunge into college life is an occasion demanding great readjustment. From the comparative intimacy of family life the freshman is thrust into a world of a bewildering multitude of people, with whom he must work peaceably. Learning this process of getting along with people is one of the most valuable lessons to be learned in life, and although it is mastered but slowly by some, only a rare rat indeed does not soon find that a little finesse can save a world of woe in his dealings with upperclassmen. Entrance into college life keeps one busy. In fact, events crowd each other in such profusion that the freshman is surprised to discover one day that his shorn head is no longer bare and that the day has arrived to invite his high school flame up to Autumn Ball. Football games and the concert series are included in his activities. The facilities of the well-equipped gym are open to him, and he has the privilege of entering intramural and intercollegiate sports. Should this be too strenuous for the freshman, he may retire to Holtzy ' s Hangout , where he may indulge in swimming, ping-pong, movies, pool, and sundry other activities sponsored by the V. By the end of the year, the daily sight of the same familiar campus scenes, the ritual of eating together, playing together, drilling together, and worshipping together combine in the comradeship of shared experience to kindle the spark which transforms a high school kid into a Clemson man. yl Lem tLal taJiLuni d x tete rex 13
