STUDENTS ROUGH COPY. Working on the finis page for the POW WOW is art editor, Janice Clark. Jan is one of the many students who spends some time in the Art Shack. Time at William and Mary - V. P. I. is all but measured to the nth degree--fifty minutes for learning and ten to divide between “Bud’s” and getting to the next class. While it seems to many that the student body at the Division is majoring in “Bud’s 202,” there are many other subjects to be had for the asking. The majority here are liberal art students and have such subjects as: English, philosophy, math, history, biology or chemistry, a language, and the ever-with-us, “Phys.Ed.” If there are still some extra hours, one mav fill in with either another subject, as the marriage course, or sign up for some school sponsored extra curricular activity such as the chorus or the band. Even though there are many liberal art students, the Division offers excellent science courses and thus attracts pre-med and pre-nursingstudents, potential laboratory technicians, and aspiring engineers, to name only a few. The freshman, indicating a desire to earn a science diploma, is introduced into the mysteries of the cult gradually; but by the time he has finished two years and gone on to the next school, he has had, depending on his speciality, biology, organic and inorganic chemistry, bacteriology, comparative anatomy, sociology, psychology. THE SHORTEST DISTANCE BETWEEN TWO POINTS IS A STRAIGHT LINE. “I'm not so sure,” says Ben Owens. “And just to prove it. . .” “I HAVE IT!” thinks Dot Cohen as she looks for information for her Freshman English research paper in the Reader’s Guide.
