ENICRS - JuNloRs - soPHQ You can take them any way you want to-classes. And Miamians, as college students everywhere, have many ways of approaching studying, the serious business of school life. As an ancient philosopher said, you get out of things just what you put into them, and seldom indeed do you get something for nothing. The essence of the matter then devolves into iust what Joe and Mary College are looking for, and how much they want whatever it is. If what they want is a sound foundation for driving a fire engine, flashing a policeman's badge or whatever you as a child dreamed of doing when you became big and grown-up, it will behoove you to earnestly go after the courses you take. If on the other hand you are convinced that college is after all the time in your life for fellowship and friends, your attention to class work may be a trifle sketchy. Ideally, of course, we should all combine the two modes of living. We may complain about some courses, and feel that they are dull, uninteresting, and a complete waste of time-especially some of those that are required. Class work may not always be stimulating in itself, but with intelligent effort on our part we may achieve some of the intellec- tual growth that most intelligent people need and desire. aENICRS ' JUNIORS ' SOPHO SSRI :I HEI HS l FRESH RES
