f. f ' - j.-.| Campus ■5 EVENING STUDENTS were hurried patrons of the snack bar. FOOTBALL RALLIES pro- vided a welcome respite from studies. It must be admitted some grim in- structors were heard to SCHOLARSHIP grew more relaxed in the late afternoon hours. This imaginative photograph was taken by Marilyn Hamner of the Pho- tography I class. 9 i ' F I I ■ ) I ' 1 1 A J. -iOL :i Day and Night One or Many MOODS are, by definition, high- ly subjective phenomena, condi- tioned largely by man ' s reaction to his environment. He responds to the physical world around him— handsome buildings, grace- ful landscaping, pleasant com- panions—even the time of day —but part of his environment is internal and is affected by his body chemistry and his meta- bolic rate. All of us know those moments when nothing goes right, when the v hole world seems to con- spire against us. Youth is re- silient, however, and for the most part student life is marked by good humor and optimism. Students gather in classroom and Quad; they come together in large groups for football games and rallies, in small gatherings for the purpose of imbiding hot coffee. But scholarship is a lone- ly occupation, and those who follow it must learn to isolate themselves mentally from the crowd, the better to ponder the great ideas laid before them by the faculty. Each mood, each association, makes its own essential contri- bution to the individual student, and together they make up the personality of his college. % ■ I 1%

After the Red Tape COURSES GALORE— A couple of prospective students pour over the seem- ingly endless list of courses. They must have given up, because later nobody could be found on campus to identify them. AND WAITING, and waiting, and waiting — we found ourselves half- way in. Sometimes it seemed we were spending more time in line than vv e ever would in class — that is, if we could only get in a class. First there were all those confusing forms to fill out. Then we found to our chagrin that we couldn ' t leave our high school record behind, no matter how undistinguished it was, and no matter how we assured the office that we were older now, and those high school grades didn ' t really represent the real us. No doubt those placement tests they threw at us were designed to make our college exams look easy. Vocabulary words only a pedant would use. Arithmetic problems we hadn ' t met since the eighth grade. Sentences to punctuate that nobody in his right mind would create for himself. IN THE BEGINNING-Suzie Tipton hands a registration card to Pat Freeman as the door to education begins to open. EXAMINATION— Pat unlocks the second door by passing the A.C.E. Test, even though she was startled by the photographer. Excellent test scores qualified her for just the classes she wanted.
