men is indeed imposing, and Oscar runs the gamut. First, he is scared so much by Dutchy that he gets nothing from the class; next he is lulled by Doc so that he can’t remember a word that was said in lecture, and finally he is almost complete¬ ly deafened by the man with the voice in Mechanical Drawing. Oscar soon learns once and for all that one simply does not fall asleep in math class. Nor does one cut, nor let assignments pile up. Doc and Happy and Bill see to this. In the spring, along with the flowers and trees, there blossoms a doubt in Oscar’s mind, the seed for which was sown in the ruins of the first physics exam. This scientific terminology stuff is probabl y okay,” says Oscar, but I’ll take mine in small doses.” The upshot of the matter is that he signs up for the M. E.

course and changes his name to Joe. For the benefit of the unenlightened reader, Physicists are always called Oscar, and Mechanical Engineers are always called Joe. Civils and E.E.’s are apt to be called almost anything. But to get back to Oscar, or rather, Joe. With the new accelerated program, Joe is thrown into contact with a great number of new mentors in rapid succession. Hig- gie, after Pop, is an amazing contrast. Surveying, with Des Smith, is something to be looked forward to (at least until cold weather). And for another treat we have Sam, the flyin’ man, in physics. Jeepers Creepers! Black Mac turns out to be not nearly as bad as his nickname implies, and classes with Don are so clear that one almost en¬ joys them.
