Freshmen Week is first! All must go through it and chi- college does everything in its power to make the week at least semeenjoyahle. During Freshmen Week we find ourselves involved and exposed to many of the facets ol college life. Activity is high on the list ol social expo' sure. Freshmen are tested, exhibited to, propagandized at, and guided hither and yon.. One thing is sure—during Freshmen Week one learns how to stand in line. Other useful skills acquired are: how to mark standard exam sheets, how to look like you are absorbing all that’s being Lold you, and how not to do anything unless it’s required. And you don’t even “earn as you learn. Pjge 6

Kearney has .suffered growing pains the last lew years. She has adjusted admir- ably, however. Amidst the turmoil that results in a doubling ul enrollment over a period of 4 years we suddenly found ourselves lacking in facilities. Our Student Union is obviously inadequate to the needs of the campus. As one student put it 'M picked my own pocket twice before I knew it, Because ol inadequate housing conditions many students were subjected to the wrath of the “feather merchants, who have more respect for the dollar than for humanity. Suddenly, thanks to the untiring eriorLs of our great President, we have three new buildings in the making. Approximately $1,000,000 dollars is being expended on this project. We could use another million to correct some of the other inadequacies, however, wc must be patient because wc know that time is a healer of all things.
