Thursday's column was quite a success! When I mentioned that your opinion and suggestions on what you wanted to pee discussed here would be welcome and desired, I didn't really expect that results would be immediately forthcom ing. I didn't think you'd respond with practically, an avalanche of notes, letters and memoranda. And I was right you didn't. Your silence was deafening; unless I could count the scribbled postcard that hl?w into the Rag office during Thursday's dust storm. And all its illegible scrawl said was, "Who are yotj, vr:t?n' a column, ya bum?". Touching, lira? Now, if my illiterate friend meant by what authority was I writing, I have the Innocents' per mission to make this my class "B" activity. And never mind what I consider class "A!" On the other hand, if that bil let-doux really meant literally, "Who are you?", all I . can say is "Nix." J'm saving the story ot my delinquent childhood for an other column. Suffice it to say that I was born of parents. Also you may say that I started to school at the early age ot. And it's no use thinking of revenge. My parents (rest their souls) are be yond retaliation. No, not dead just committed by a friendly psy chiatrist. As for the epithet at the end of my fan mail obviously hurled by a frustrated columnist.

Well, you'd ex nee t me to realize that you might momenta- 1 nlv overlook some things. You'd expect me to realize that it might take considerable prompting to elicit all the information you ac tually did absorb about the sub ject. In short, you wouldn't want me to base an opinion of what you knew on that one monologue even if I gave you three hours, would you? All of which is simply my ap- 1 proach to this examination ques tion, i everyone eise nas taken a shot at it. Guess I'll just "fire one" and retire.) I won't take a chance on giv- ; ing free rein to my thoughts on three-hour exams! Unless it's 1 simply to say that I know of at j least two universities from per- ' sonal experience that shun the f marathon quiz. And they seem to 1 get ty. inree-nour quiz! 1 can't holp thinking there must at least be a public health law against such prolonged restraint of movement. Even David O. Selznick had to split Gone With the Wind into, two sessions and all his audience had to do was sit! Yet every person reading this has sat in class while the instruc tor was bombarded with "How many questions will there be on llic exam?", or "What sections of the book will the exam cover?", or "Do you expect us to remember that for the exam? Those are the most common responses an in structor gets when, after putting forth considerable effort on an en thusiastic lecture, he asks if any one has anything to add to the OX say u A I fi tif I M . LiliMf, topic or a question. It must be disheartening, par ticularly to an instructor who happens to have a desire to really teach his subject. And, to their credit, a lot of them have. But it must be discouraging- to- face this constant preoccupation with examinations. And yet you can't really blame the student. If the exam itself is goven such all-fired importance, who's to criticize if he sets his sights on the exam it MM '4 to nV X I up FEBRUARY 14TH! Beautiful simulated pearls to clasp her throat.

The majority of persons enrolled here are far from stupid. They know that any thing they memorize in a few hours' cramming will be gone in a few days. But they know too that it's a time-tested way to pass the all-important exam.
