FETT 52 Student Life With finals being taken at the end of each semester, the students often find that they are Taking Chances | There was the usual amount of cramming, fingernail biting, and cof- fee drinking during finals week. With the biggest graduating class ever finishing degrees, there was even more pressure than usual. As the week wore on, the lines of students selling back books grew longer at the bookstore and more people double parked in the lots around the main buildings, causing the campus police to give even more tickets. With finals going on, the students dorms and the library Sparky Martin and David Buttross take make-up exams, which had been resche- duled to avoid an overloaded testing calen- dar. (Photo by G. Edwards) were, once again, the hotspots on campus. Finally it was over, and nearly all the students headed for home, leav- ing the campus almost deserted. It was now the teachers jobs to stand in long lines to read out their grades to the registrar’s office. As a result of the switch over to the new computer system, the registrar workers had to struggle through several nights in order to get the graduating senior, regular, and honor grades out on time. Even though it is a very long week for everyone — students, teachers, and staff alike — finals are a neces- sary part of college.
