But then there were the times when we could shake off our persecution complexes and sit back to indulge in the students favorite indoor sport- chuckling at the idiosyncrasies of the Professors.

You may remember how he told us 1101 to regard the Faculty as enemies, but as guides along the long road, and so on. Group paranoia, as with any student body, never- theless seized us at times, and we felt a little like rioters behind slender street barricades. flinging futile sticks and stones against the tear gas and Dr, Harry Smith denouncing anarchy among cells, - xc aa 1, ' -:vet fl rr K .
