Studying: A Necessary Evil Studying can be both a necessary evil and a God-sent blessing. You find yourself studying more here in one week than you did your whole high school career. Most of us come as one in the dark. We're exposed to everything from Homer to Einstein. We often question our own sanity and that of our professors. The more you learn, the more you realize that there is so much you don't know. Maybe one day this will all pay off, in monetary value as well as aesthetics. When was the last time you really studied in the library? There you'll find the world's most practiced people watchers. It is a lost cause in the dorm because someone next door has just bought a million watt receiver and your ears are experimental tools. You're better off with the sun and the squirrels outside. En- lightenment hurts and we soon lose the right to say ignorance is an excuse I wonder if Thareau started this way? With several hundred ot nut {ti- ll to be mute red for csch chit, stu- dents find il necessary to spend a nice, quiet evening in the library. Pulling in all-nighter, Steve Reilly tries to give his roommate the benefit of some sleep.

For more than a decade the Guess Who has been one of the premier rock and roll export- ers to the world from Canada. On September 22 this group performed in Macon's newly re- stored Civic Auditorium before a small crowd of approximately four hundred. Proving that their hearts are in the music, as opposed to flash and fads, the band presented a string of their top ten hits .. Laughing ' Clap for the Wolfman, Star Baby, not to mention the more popular American Woman and These Eyes . Driving rock and roll, forged from the north and played with integrity, is what this band is all about. The exciting combination of Donnie McDougall's vocals with the instru- mental excellence of the rest of the band sent the small Mercer-Macon crowd home not only satisfied, but convinced that the group was de- serving of a larger audience.
