Crunch Time Sometime around the middle of each semester, professors find it necessary to issue a test that will determine how often their students were sleeping or daydreaming instead of learning about the conservation of momentum or the effect of Socrates and Plato on modern literature. After months and months of hard work, everything culminates into one exam that is taken within two hours. Depending upon one ' s teacher, the test can mean more or less to one ' s grade. Studying for finals and mid- terms is just as the cliches in any mov- ie about college would propagate. Caf- feine is consumed in mass quantities in the vain attempt to outsmart the biological clock that would otherwise have students in a deep slumber. For students who love to cram all night. there are workout sessions in the Inde- pendence Blue Cross Center, where they can take a break from their all- night study session to relieve some stress. The library is open 24 hours to accommodate students who need more study time. Another noticeable change on campus is the newfound silence in the dorms due to 24-hour quiet hours. One sure thing about fi- nals is that they were here for all those yesterdays. And no matter how much one hates them, they will be here for all those tomorrows to come! — Ryan Dalev Photo By: Marcel Reedus The final projects film majors must do take numer ous hours of group cooperation.
