Some things have changed, though. Miss Allen is haven’t had a campus epidemic yet!), and we have a new Dean of Women. The campus itself has chang- ed The new — building and surrounding taking shape. Of course, by the time the roof is put on, the walls will have disentegrated with age. That is quite beside the point, however. The freshmen are learning fast. They no longer ask sopho mores for advice. Instead, they tell US what to do. (“Get lost, man, she’s MY date tonight.”) In a few more weeks, national elections will be held. Someone will have to be around to con sole Dave Drum, Rory McManus, and Miss Jarrell, (I hope). If it isn’t necessary to console them, then John Shreeves and yours truly will be able to use a little help. So much for now—we’ll see you around next issue with more cuts and jibes. You say you Left chemistry lab feeling smug because you had gotten through early, then two hours later, you realized that you missed an experiment? And you spent ten minutes trying to get your post office box open before you found that it wasn’t even your box? And you spent three hours working on an English theme and your roommate dumped a cup of coffee all over it? You say you Opened the door to your room and nearly drowned because some wise guy had propped a waste can full of water above the door? And you stood in line for forty-five minutes and just as soon as you started eat ing lunch, the bell rang for your next class? And you got a telephone call from “John,” i made a date for Saturday night, and at eight o’clock found out that he wasn’t the “John” you were expecting? You say you Burst out laughing in class and got embarrassed when no- one else laughed? And you slipped and fell in the mud and ruined twenty-five dollars’ worth of books? And you woke up, went to class, and found that you’d over-slept and miss ed two classes? So what. Freshmen? Don’t worry about it! Hold up your head and smile, because you have plenty of company. It’s been said that the comple tion of high school and the sub sequent entrance into college are the turning points in one’s life. This, perhaps, is true if a certain freshman finds that his compass bearings are several or many degrees deviated from his proper direction, and realiz ing this, decides to make that P'articular part of his life a changing point. Then, on th3 other hand, as is the case with most modern college freshmen, the commencement of their first college year evidences a desire for a continuation of train of knowledge which probably be gan in early high or late junior high school. This does not nec essarily denote a turning point but more likely and more de sirably a chance to straighten a few curves, remove some person al obstacle, answer one or two questions that almost certainly would have remained unanswer ed were it not for ambition. An often overlooked, yet stiil present, facet of freshman life on any college campus is the manner in which friends are made. More than at any previ ous time, one needs sincere com panionship since in time of need of consolation, an acquaintance will not properly suffice as a cry ing shoulder. Whereas, in the past, friends were made by con venience of communication, as a result of a bitter fight, or maybe by playing a sport to gether. Now, common interests, desire for understanding, or help are not uncommon reasons for development of friendships that are more likely destined for long futures. With a desire for supplemen tary knowledge, with a courage not to surrender to any prob lem, no matter how towering, with a confidence that we wiU reach our various marks and a faith that if we don’t, it still was a real nice clambake; and we all had a real good time. We vidll live our lives with our dreams in the clouds and our feet on the ground. This is the plight of the fresh man.
