YPICAL DAY A TYt Across the hall the Zoology lab is in session for two periods, studying the difference between a pellicle and nucleus in the Euglena, a flagellate of the class Mastigophora. When the bell ends second period, you join the mob that jams the east door of the Ad building, as they head in the direction of chapel for a period of devotion. Anyone who tries to go up these stairs at this time takes his life in his hands . . . • From chapel, you again join the crowd of people going back to classes. Mail has been put up by now, so the first thing to do is push your way through to your mailbox and see if that letter from home is there. After that your time is yours to spend if you have no classes, so you join the gang under the tree and shoot the breeze for a while . . . 27

Five minutes later you arrive dressed and sleepy-eyed at the cafeteria, only to find that it takes five more minutes for the long line to move through far enough to allow you to pick up a tray. This is just the be- ginning. You have to be in class at 7:45 and you have about three minutes in which to eat. The food goes down so fast you can ' t tell the cornflakes from the toast. Two mintues late, you break track records charg- ing to class, and breathlessly sneak into your assigned seat while the professor is myopic- ally reading his lecture. After you call back the attendance sheet, you settle down to a quiet session with the latest in American literature, while your room-mate catches up on the sleep he lost by getting up a half- hour sooner . . . - III © TYPICAL DAY A The jangling of an alarm at 6:00 A.M. is not the most welcome sound in the morning — so the thing to do is ignore it. An hour and forty winks later, your room mate de- cides to stir, so you let him get first chance at the mirror to shave — while you sleep a few minutes more. At 7:25 the sound of your room-mate howling one of the top ten in the bathroom wakes you . . . 26

A TYPICAL DAY A 1) From Dr. Browning ' s class in sta- tistics, you head up to the cafe- teria for lunch at around noon. As you pass the Gay C, you hear the A Cappella choir practicing in another of their dai ly ses- sions. At lunch you gab, joke, and gripe about the food along with everyone else. (Not that the griping is deserved, it ' s just something to do.) After lunch more classes take session. Prof. Friesen gives beginning music stu- dents the fundamentals of music. ' :vi ® Or another of the many classes held in the chapel building takes session.
