Friday the 13th means double trouble forfall After receiving grade cards over Christmas break, many stu- dents blamed the fall semester's outcome on bad luck and un- avoidable misfortune. What else could be expected from a se- mester during which Friday the Thirteenth struck twice? The first-ill-fated Friday was in September, and doom and gloom saturated Cape Girardeau. Rain increased from a slight drizzle to torrents ruining any plans of afternoon social events and making it essential to have flood insurance for between- class hikes from L.A. to Ed. Psych. Dr. Scully's successor as head of the University became pub- lic knowledge that thirteenth day of September. When the Ar- row printed the Board of Regents' announcement of Dr. Robert E. Leestamper as the future president, it scooped the media in town. lt was a stroke of good luck for the Arrow but for local editors and broadcasters a reason to curse the calendar. The Friday before any finals week marks the beginning of last minute studying and praying over three months of class notes -truly a time of despair. Howappropriate that this mourn- ful day was the fall semester's second Friday the Thirteenth. Again nature supplied the proper ominous atmosphere by darkening the area with a partial eclipse. The solar eclipse made the darkness of the morning last until after 8 a.m. Ex- tended darkness combined with the threat of finals kept many heads under the covers that day. Geminid Swarm, a meteor shower, appeared that night. The bursting lights began after dark and ended around midnight though a cloud cover in Cape kept them from being clearly viewed. With that dramatic touch the second day of bad luck and fickle fate's trickery came to an end.
