Companionship In these times it is difficult to have any close relation- ships with the people one works with and lives with daily. One ' s friendships tend to be on the impersonal side and it is easy for them to end without the benefit of a parting word or farewell. However, in the midst of times of callousness, Cumberland College seems to have a revolutionary effect on the young adults who attend. Where in other schools and universities there is on air of alienation and impersonality, the reverse is true at CC. Many close friendships are formed in an atmosphere of concern and respect for the individuals involved. There is a tendency for everyone to know everyone else and, as strange as it seems, to like every- one else! thirteen

Oh, Happy Days! College days seem to be composed of work, work, and more work. Studying never ceases and term papers never stop being assigned, not to mention the small, five page, typewritten reports that have to be finished before the next test on five chapters! But when one stops to contemplate the matter, once college is over the future holds work, work, and more work. Students really are not as oppressed as they claim to be, for the college days will be, for most people, the last carefree moments for a long while to come. On the average, a college student spends approximately three to four hours a day in classes where as a high school student is in class for almost seven hours per day! And the aver- age working day is eight hours! A word of advice — enjoy while the time is available and free! fourteen
