Dead day, extended library hours Add to study atmosphere at KSC A dead day before semester finals and the extension of library hours added to the study atmo- sphere at KSC this year. Through the efforts of Student Senate, a one day break between regular classes and finals was set up for the first time. During fi- nals, library hours were extended until I a.m. Calvin T. Ryan library has al- ways been a prime place for study. Every student crams for up-com- ing tests, reads his favorite maga- zine or newspaper or hurriedly re- searches facts for that term paper, always due too soon. With 2200 students new to the campus this year and with most of them living in dormitories, this place is also a prime study area. They study both curricular and non-curricular activities with friends and often find that an in- terpretation by a friend down the hall is not only helpful but a lot of fun. Study habits vary greatly among students, but if students set their goal for graduation like nearly 925 who received diplomas this year, one thing is evident— studying and good study habits are necessary. Sometimes it takes a group effort to solve difficult problems.
