Spring is not the reason; nor are they slowly losing their minds. They have merely takert a well- served two-weeks rest and shifted their HIGH LIFE production wor ries to the junior and sophomore members of the staff for the tra ditional experimental issue. That issue is in your hands. The masthead on page 2 lists the students who will compose next year’s staff.
