\ EDITORIAL PAGE PAGE TWO THE CLARION December 8, 1967 The 36 Hour Day At last! We’v© hit upon it! We’ve developed a formula for the 36 hour day! All year long we’ve been working with the science department in a desperate effort to reacn our goal before exam time. And we’ve done it. Looking Back ON The Year: Here is the formula. no. hrs./job No. da. in wk. No. waking hrs. rate of work That should do the job! Wei’ve already tried ^t, and it works great. It surely beats taking those {stay-awake pills. We understand that one of tho^ tablets contains the equivalent of thirty cups of cof fee! An dthey’re not a stimulant, but rather a de pressant. We hope students will refrain from taking all sorts of ridiculous stay-up-all-night concoctions. And we hope they will forget our 36 hour day. Just study, and for Pete’s sake (and yours) get some sleep! Yeech! To Lap Boards. With exams just getting into swing of things, everybody is very touchy, and the tenseness and pressure of exams is written on the faces of students and teachers alike. When one sits at his desk till the wee hours cramming for an exam, he is hardly overjoyed when he walks into Dunham and spies those hideous lap boards. Not only are they tough on the spinal col umn, but can you imagine writing for three hours on one of those things? The human hand won’t take it. We offer no solution. Only that a desk would be much nicer.
