“WE JUST CAN’T SEEM TO GET
INTO A POSITION TO STUDY FOR
EXAMS!” This seems to be the problem
of John Beal, Chuck Metcalf, Jim West,
and Gary Blake; and friend “Vootie,”
who is the only intellectual-looking on©
in the bunch. Vootie’s sole comment;
“Exams will be held!”
Put up your towel; stock up on
coffee; and prepare to hit the
books. Tonight exams begin—yes,
quiet hours reign supreme, and
sleep slips out of the picture for
the next two weeks.
Grades for the fall semester will
be posted on January 25, prior to
registration. Those students On pro
bation who have to appeal will be
notified on Friday, January 22. Ap
peals will be made to the Academic
