By MIKE ROACH The semiannual ritual of “know and tell” is getting close to reality again. For the upper classmen, exams are an evil necessity which are better off forgotten, but for the freshmen the exams are the first in a series of eight two-hour solo flights through the dense van- cuum of their inner space. The traditional run on “MID NIGHT OIL” has been very slight so far, but as the hours dwindle away toward D-Day, the use is expected to increase rap idly. Everyone seems to look pretty normal so far, but dur ing the weekend and the follow ing week the scene will become similar to that of a medical rehabilitation center, as eyes are barely open and people drag about under the pressures of above normal neuro-activity. Ner vous tensions build up prior to the blast off of knowledge and continues until that time when the fruits of increased study are posted. For some, increased study will pay off, but for others who never heard of studying for any test except the night before will re alize the error of their ways. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. . .Sorry ’bout that; better luck next time. Many students have been keep ing well above their subjects by See RITUAL Page 4 The burning of mid-night oil. Takes place at semesters end; It’s a synonym for cramming. On which most of us depend. Follow this girls example, And sleep during the day; Forget the mid-night oil, You’ll never pass that way.
