The gym is crowded with freshmen who timidly present their program cards to various professors. Will you please sign this, sir? queries a coed freshman. Oh, thank you, as she takes 'her card away. Another rushes to an upperclassman, Where can l find Professor McWilliams? 'Mac' is over at his office on the third floor of the library. 'lVIac ? Why, why, do you speak about your professors like that? BOTANY CLASSES TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OUTSIDE . . . laboratories and classrooms. HAVE SOME PSYCHOLOGY? . . . invited Dr. Regina Wiemun during her informal discussion with the students. COMMAS COUNT . . . during an Eng- lish quiz. 0210 Certainly, replies the worldly junior, we always do. In fact, you should call your 'profs' by their first names or nicknames even in the classrooms. You'll remember that, Won't you? Of course, and thank you for being so nice, declares the freshman coed as she leaves. O Students who take astronomy classes at the Chamberlin Observatory become inured to the cold winter nights when they spend many hours looking through the telescope at the num- berless heavenly bodies. What's that funny little ball? lt looks like a fuzzy piece of cotton, inquires a bewildered Alpha Xi, standing on the platform mounted near the telescope. That's a comet, explains Professor Recht.

of the Liberal Arts College refused to sanction the hazing of incoming students. However, be- fore the Dean was able to fully nullify the ac- tivities of the agency and the D-Club, several freshmen were forced to perform specified acts. Roy Samson was seized by the D-men, taken to the Veranda fronting the Campus square and forced to make a speech on the merits of the athletes. 'lVly fine fellow friends, and worthy ath- letes, begins Samson. Louder, louder, put some life into it, yells Hank Tavener, D-Club president. Louder, louder, mimicked Samson, and they have some life in them, these stalwart men of the gridiron, but they are also a big bunch of overgrown sheep's wool knitted into a letter sweater. And with this declaration, a mob of athletes abruptly hauled Samson from the veranda, sent him through the spats and told him to return to the D-Club court to be re-sentenced for con- duct unbecoming a freshman. Many freshmen were thus initiated into campus life by upper- classmen until the officious interference by Dean Walters abolished hazing activities. O Fall registration at the University brings an influx of new students and the return of old students. The gymnasium forms the center of registra- tion, activities and the freshmen, flustered by their first contact with Collegiate life, seek to 0200 CARDS-CARDS-CARDS-CARDS! but it's not a game . . . it's registration time in the gymnasium.

Well, isn't that cute? I never knew they looked like that. Seeing is believing, my dear. You must look to find, says the astronomy assistant. Don't you think someone else would like a look? This winter Professor Hecht, director of the Observatory, supervised the cleaning of the lenses which had not been touched during an interim of some twenty years. I In the summer and spring, the botany classes are conducted on a tour around the campus. The members receive lectures on the various peculiarities which distinguish one type of an oak from another, as well as being shown how to collect flower and plant specimens. 'The law school is characterized by rows of dusty volumes upon rows of dusty volumes. The lawyers spend as much of their time blow- ing the dust off of the books they desire to use, as they do studying in the numerous nooks and crannies sandwiched in between the book- cases. Practice court sessions are held twice a week at the Municipal Court rooms, or when these chambers are not available, the students practice their legal technicalities in the class- rooms of the school. Dean Roger Wolcott acts as judge during all legal proceedings. The jury is selected from the student body, the prosecu- tion and the defense are composed of similar personnel. The cases, thus tried, are replete with much wrangling and the introduction of devious methods of reasoning. Not to cite a precedent but rather to quote the result of a rationalization process is the favorite method of the student lawyers. However, the lawyers do 0220 L EMBRYO LAWYERS PRACTICE COUR'l'ING l STUDYING LIFE . . . is the daily practice of the Chappell student.
