Sluclg lim ooo a must for college survival In addition to extracurricular activities such as intramurals, fraternity and Sorority parties and club meetings, students learn the importance of studying. Studying is an essential part of college life and must be taken seriously in order to graduate. For every hour a student attends class, he is advised to spend two hours studying on his own time. Whether it is in the quietness of one's own room or outside under a tree, most students find seclusion the best way of studying. 2 A. I.. fi' 'Ns-Q-v..,,,,. 'St 1 5 ,7gai'fst.
