Page 2 THE WESLEYAN DECREE February 7, 1962 Sex Now that we have got your attention we would like to discuss a problem of a different vein: our education. Practically five months ago we caime forth to Wesleyan, a new college, conceived with curiosity and supposedly dedicated to the proposition that we so desired an educa tion. Now we are engaged in the second semester which will test whether or not we intend to progress. Chances are that we will begin with vigor to improve. “It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this” for we cannot honestly say that we did our best last semester. However, we must not promise too much for we are aware of the results of resolutions that are too rigid. So often we do not live up to them and with our sub-conscious excuses we can justify abolition. Therefore it would be far more worthwhile for us to dedicate ourselves to goals that we can live up to through out of the course of the semester. With increased devotion our resolutions will withstand the test of time. Abraham Lincoln dedicated a national cemetery for the soldiers at Gettysburg, Pa. and in less than three minutes he put an idea across to the people that Edward Everett, a noted orator, had attempted in two hours. We, of the newspaper staff, would also like to offer this simall three-minute idea that just might have some meaning for us next semester. We have heard all our lives that we must set high goals if we want to improve. This is so but they should not be so high that there is no possi bility of ever attaining them. Have some short-range goals along with those high long-range ones. We are what we think. We can foretell our own future. If we set our minds on getting an education then we’ll get that education. Let’s try it on a short-range plan! It’s Bound To Happen! Grrr . . . boy that was the most unfair, the most horri ble, the most unhumane exam I’ve tried to take. And to think that I used to like that man. Boy, little did I know. Huh, you know what I think now? I think he’s ugly! Hi! How did it go? A breeze, huh? I wish that I had taken yours instead of the one I did. Some people get all the breaks. They can spot a crip course a mile away, but me . . . well, it’s a cinch I couldn’t ever make my million playing the stock market. All told . . . those exams were tough enough, but at least the mental beating is over, or is it? I wonder. Well , . . sir, Mr. Dean ... yes sir, I mean no sir. Yes, sir, it was my fault, all my fault . . . sir? Sir! Probation' Is that necessary? . . . but I’m going to do different . . yes sir, but that’s so drastic ... yes sir, but you see . . No sir, I didn’t know that ... You sent them a letter They know it! Plus probation! Ah please, Mr. Dean . . But Mother ... but you don’t understand ... but . . but . . . hey, Pop, remember how we used to be on sides? You know how it is. You can’t expect a person to pass everything, now can you? . . . but.
