Following their official plunge into this uni

women feel more at ease, it is hoped. They
have had an opportunity to learn something of
this frir.c to school business.
C'las of 19:5, we welcome you! Despite
tho fact that everything is hi? on this campus,
evtrr member of the administration and every
member of the student body wanti to be close

campus seems cold because of the bigness and
because of the numbers trampinfr over the

your welfare.

Ctf one thinp. you must be warned: This
is really a place in'which to study. Vou were
told that at the initiation exercises. You had
undoubtedly surmised that oven before, you
had entered thru the channels of registration.
Yet. countless numbers lose sight of hat fact
before the first semester is completed.
The buzz and hum of social life weakens

There are many thinus which can be ob
t.iiin d from colkgc life aside from books. They
are the social and extra-curricular activities
just referred to. Indulgence is encouraged,
yet with considerable and weighed thot. Some
of them are cood, others are not so profitable.

a niestfr or two so that tou can look over
the fi. Id. And during that time, you can lay

up as to when the campus fathers
are going to deem It necessary to
have that suburb stretch of turn

Four score, more or less, of

Sot Exactly a Gripe.
TO THE KDITOli :
This isn't exactly a gripe, neither is it
intended to be destructive criticism, but rather
to point out an existing condition that necessi
tates a great amount of inconvenience to stu
dents. I am taking a eouise out at Ihe Ajr cam
pus. Most of my classes are on the city cam
pus. Twice a week I have to drive to the
former. 1 notice about half the class is also
from the city campus. When I say "half." it
is a conservative estimate.
Wouldn't it be less inconvenient lo llie
majority of the persons concerned ith this
particular course if the class met on the city
campus? Many of the city campus students
inakin? these trips to the Ag campus have
no ars and have to ride with friends or go
on a bus. Hoth arc expensive, speaking in
terms of a semester, The instructor and the
Ag students in the course would have to make
the trip to the city campus, but it would cost ,
them lesa per oemester since there are fewer
numbers. "
There would be les.s speeding tickets
patted out. less narrow escapes from car acci
dents, 1cm ears being frozen, and best of all,
lesa students will be late to class. Fewer stu
dent will cut classes (as many are prone to
do during cold weather). More work will be
accomplished with less inconvenience to the '
whole. In every way it seems to lie a more
desirable plan. ,
