The great sacrifice. Instead of using those 30 precious minutes during the day for eating, juniors Terry Fines and John Veronesi skip lunch for a few minutes of intent study. From paramecium to blood cells. Biology 1-2 students become microscopically inclined as they study specimens. Sophomores Darla Lindell and Sue Siurek find that being partners is helpful. 15

Chem-symptom of contagious disease Whether by their own desire to develop and sharpen their skills, or by the overly ambitious designs of a counselor, many students find themselves taking hard classes (scientifically classified as brainus-ache-us). But is this all there is to it? Are these classes just for developing and sharpening skills? Or do these classes instill something terrible in people: a subversive disease implanted in the student possessing and compelling him to do shocking things he would ordinarily never do. As stunning as it may seem, it is all true. Science is one department which sows the seeds of this evil, and many are led toward the field of science by the example of tv ' s Carl Sagan. The disease starts when the naive sophomore takes Biology 1-2, and finds that work is required to pass the class. He works and excels, and eventually begins to delight in the taxing labor. As the malignancy grows, the student uncringingly disects a fetal pig in Biology 3-4, relishes discussion of icky, slimy huhtan organs and after taking Chemistry 1-2 and Physics, becomes haughty, often endulging himself in enigmatic midnight strolls beneath the frosty glare of a full moon, muttering molecular weights and reciting motion equation. The difficult mathematics courses are also transmitters of this invisible disease, and so those interested in medicine, engineering, chemistry, physics or teaching must also beware this subversive malady.

Inch by inch. Junior Rich Marlow discovers that drafting requires precision as well as patience to construct a drawing. Drafting is one of the elective courses offered. Monster victimizes business majors (continued from pg. 14) study inflicted by plane and solid geometry often leads the student to become a recluse within his mind, like a point on a plane in the space of his head. And with Algebra 3-4 the malignancy multiplies, the student often waking his family shouting phrases like, A new five by five determinant is a matrix! After trigonometry, analytic geometry and calculus, these poor victims have been known to paint mathematical formulas on water towers and bridges. Many business majors also fall to this possessive monster. After the typing courses, many show the symptoms of the disease. Some begin speaking in abbreviations, others send their friends incoherent tabulations and others still begin to speak in mindless sentences such as, Did the bugle corps toot with the usual vigor for the queen? ; sentences so common to typing exercises. Clerical procedures and accounting only make the malady worsen. Worried (continued on pg. 19) L Working with the mind 16
