Do you see next year as a
iturn to the same old routine?
'ell, think again. Many changes,
ig and small, are coming to the
!C. campus.
Anew girls’ dorm, unnamed as
,<t, is being constructed across
lom Hilly & Harper Halls on Lee
street. Students have watched
fatiently and a bit surprisedly
ie flurry of activity accompany-
ig the demolishing of the two
ibandoned houses on the lot.
Jctual construction of the dorm
•ill begin as soon as possible and
project occupacy date is
1970. The new housing for
180 girls will, according to Mr.
James Daniel, Dean of
Emissions, equalize the now
Pfo-dominately male ratio.
Thinking you’ll see the same
‘ired faces again? Well, you’re
partly right. A total enrollment
• 1550, not a great change from

‘Shest percentages yet of

There Just Ain’t No Way
To Beat The EstabUshment
By JOYCE COPELAND
The end is near at last. It is
almost time to put away all cares
and have a blast. Beaches and
resorts are preparing for the
summer barrage with tantalizing
ads and rocketing prices.
Employers are closing their
doors to temporary employees at
a fantastic rate. Only one hazard
remains — exams.
It is beyond the scope of the
layman to understand how the
httle four letter word, exam,
strikes terror in the heart of
academia everywhere. In order
to better understand the term one
must take a closer look. Exam is
a colloquialism for the word
examination which is a
derivative of the Latin term,
examinatus. The definition of the
ward, according to “Funk and
Wagnell’s,” is: “The act or
process of examining or of being
examined; careful scrutiny or
inquiry; investigation;
inspection.” Nazi interrogation of
the war prisoners of World War II
is one of the milder analogies
with which you can compare
exams. Several suitable
synonyms may be considered as
substitutes for the term, such as:
test, torture, quiz, agony,
practical, or crucifixion.
The founder of this memorable
institution is thought to be Ah Soo
Tling who is also noted for his
invention of the rack, sweat-box,
and Chinese Water Water
Torture. The object of the exam
is to rid the academic world of all
the deadbeats who can’t
memorize ail semester’s work in
one night.
The king of demons in the
wonderful world of exams is the
comprehensive which is better
known as, “The Easy Way to Join
the Army Without Really
'R’ying.” This is the little “Quiz”
that requires “burning the
midnight oil” to “learn”
everything that you meant to
learn all semester. There is no
known cure for infliction and
even Dr, Soo Tung wouldn’t apply
this torture.
The real agony of exam week is
the countdown before the first big
one. Seconds become minutes as
that last hour drags on into
eternity. Every minute brings
another chapter you forgot to
look over or a term you never

Recipients

It was a time for nostalgia and
anxious expectation as students
gathered in the gymnasium for
this semester’s final convocation,
the annual Honors Program. It
was nostalgic because this was
the seniors final convocation and
there was the ever-present
anxiety concerning the
receipients of the awards.
The first awards were the
Rotary awards and were
presented by Mr. Glenn Daught-
ridge on behalf of the Wilson
Rotary Club. These annual
awards are given to the seniors
with the highest academic
average for the previous spring
and fall semesters. The
recipients this year were, Elaine
Bailey and Cathy Pierce,
