BUSY BRAINS Studiers come in all shapes and sizes, but perhaps the most unique thing about them is their different tech- niques. Places for studying vary tremendously. Some feel that lying in front of a blaring television with a stereo on full blast is the perfect position for total concentration. Others may choose to recline on a soft bed while listening to the top 40 countdown on the radio. Still, a small minority sit erectly at a large desk, far away from all means of distraction. Planning time wisely for big assignments presents a problem for most stu- dents. When long-range projects are assigned, a scarce few will begin that very day, working consistently until its completion. However, an overwhelming 990!o always begin the night before a project is due. With the help of coffee and no-doz, they are able to work contin- ually until dawn. Somehow, the job gets done-and just in the nick of time. Studying. The most hated, yet most necessary part of school life! , I Adm . of t , ww Y M ' H x ' . . , -X xt X V...-fi, ' N' ' swf 2.1 r , llml r n r y i 4 ff it viii X Q jf!!

'Twas the Night Before Due Date 'Twas the night before due date when tension set in Amidst numerous books, crumpled papers, tired pen. The coffee pot perked in the kitchen nearby, In hopes to suppress wide yawns and shut-eye. The unlaunched project seemed miles from it close, While through much thought, no motive arose. The study halls were wasted, the weekends were spent On nothing of value-so the granted time went. The hours grew shorter, and the anthem was played, Followed by static as so long the TV bade. A scratch of the head brought forth a new plan, And pencil, across rustled papers, it ran. Much later, a hand rubbed circled, red eyes. After striving, achievement had increased in size. Still work continued more sloppy and rash, To the end, the scribbles made a final mad dash. As the clock struck five, the whole thing was done. A collapse into bed proved the battle'd been won. Relief was felt with a doze out of sight, Sweet dreams to all, and to all a good night! 103
