EXANS?
Have you been seeing a }ot of folks
doing oueer things lately? Such as
studying: studying at home, studying in
library, paying attention in class, go
to class, having conferences, and walking
S
around with books clutéhéd in their arms?
lo, it's not spring fever, but the
end of the year, Now is the time for
all smart girls and boys to begin to
study, and do their homework for a change.
If you haven't eracked a book so far
this year, don't try to beat the next
fellows' record, ‘but open up that dook
and try to decipher it.
Instead of rushing in library and
fighting over that new magazine, sit
‘own and gét your breath. Don't get up
nder »retense of sharpening that pencil
that already has a point an inch long,
it will only break anyway, As it is,
everyone else in library is too busy
trying to learn something to bother to
watch you tipstoe through the tables and
break that peaceful stillness which is
only broken by the soft strains of music
that float up to welcoming ears.
Then when you go to class, don't
sit there and stare out the window, (he
isn't worth the price you'll have to pay).
Don't do homework for another class, don't
ke faces at those silly people har zir-
