. . . WHAT WE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS YEAR T HERE is still some doubt as to whether or not head work does any good in passing a final examination. Especially one of these true-false deals. Be that as it may. several brains were worked overtime this past year. And the subject of the overtime exertion could hardly be classed as academic. The re- sults are also questionable. It became difficult to pass the Adminis- tration building without interrupting a wild-eyed mass meeting. And what a mass it was! There were other types of thinking, though. Some of it, especially after the grades were handed out. might possibly be classed as criminal — but always, mind you. it was clean as a dagger blade to get that outside reading done. Tlie thinker. 1- ' . L. Wheeler ponders over his typewriter while his cigarette burns down to a mere nothing. Any minute now that light will shine. Jr. W. Page Keeton, Dean of the School of Law, with plans for re-organization of the Law School curriculum, addresses the fu- ture lawyers of America. The more sordid thoughts came when the VA announced the ex-GI ' s would have to take more hours. Then it was found out that most of the students affected were already taking more than enough hours, so it was forgotten. Undoubtedly, however, the most important thought of the year concerned the proper method of applying — if you ' ll ex- cuse the expression — the diaper to the posterior of a young ' un. They, and by they is meant both babies and diapers, were thick in Sooner City. But the difficult part of the oper- ation seemed to be getting the job done and at the same time making passable sense out of the many and varied forms of words appearing in local text books.

El Penseroso. Ed O Brien is in another world as he concen- trates on his notes, or is he just plain concentrating on the campus headline of tomorrow? Well, it isn ' t so difficult. Dr. Court tries to simplify those hieroglyphics ' on the board lor his mathematics students.

Hv- mr ' f .«. • ' - ' -fcfe ' -»i LtJr m ' — - ' -er T ' S a job getting out of this university! Much worse than getting into it. Of course, there are some Magna Cum Laudes and some Phi Beta Kappas who have mastered the art of being as vague as professors. But there ' s always that great majority who have to sweat to pass the junior EngHsh exam. Even at that, a stack of scholarships have been won and lost. Why, all those who made and passed the finals in the Rhodes competition from the state of Oklahoma were also from O.U. Au- thorities agree that should prove something or other, but aren ' t quite certain what it is. Smiling incredulously and joyously, Richard Swart Jcanncttc Carlson and Rowe Hill examine the long awaited degree.
