Suicides, Faintings, Illusions
Plague Students FINALS!
BY BARBARA KIECIIEL.
The dreaded time is drawing
near . . . Clouds of fearful an
ticipation shroud the thoughts of
every conscientious student; they
even dream about FINALS. One
panic-stricken freshman aston
ished her roommate the other
night by sitting bolt upright in
bed, gazing frantically at her
wrist watch and shrieking, "Darn
this history! Three centuries to
cover and only three seconds to
go!" Whereupon she lapsed into
a mild form of hysterics. It took
the anxious roommate 37 minutes
to actually convince her that she
had 12 more days to brush up on
the 2,000 pages she was behind
and get back to her own techni
color reverie entitled "Saturday
night at the Palladium with Frank
Sinatra."
Necessary Evil.

ever logically explained why they
are necessary?) is not surprising.

the agonized sophomore taking
psych 70 at eight o'clock, who
screamed, "I can't take it!" and
daintily took a "22" out of her
bunny mitten and blew out her
