By SALLY MITCHELL Spring fever is no excuse for that lackadaisical feeling' that students get on sunshiney days, warns Dr. Lester F. Beck, of the psychology department, “for.'’ he pointed out. “there is no such thing as spring fever.” “Just like the ant or the spider, we like to bask in the sunshine on balmy spring days,” Dr. Beck observed, "at the expense of neg lecting our regular work. But what we are really doing,” he said, "is freeing ourselves from the boredom of indoor confine ment necessary during the cold rainy months." Dr. Beck believes that a young man's fancy takes a noticeable turn to love in the spring because good weather provides a more opportune time for wooing. “Young men are interested in love during all seasons of the year,” he said, "but warm weath er makes canoeing, picnics, and rumble seat rides possible.” Dr. Beck also pointed out that in the spring the coeds wear attractive colors and short skirts, which combine to make it difficult for a young man to keep his eyes on his books. Spring with its blossoms, its warm winds and sweet-smelling scents, provides a romantic set ting for courtship, Dr. Beck ob served. ‘'and young' men and wo men take advantage of these fa vorable conditions," he said. Tradition may also lead boys to discuss love in the spring even though they have been thinking about it throughout the year." Dr. Beck bases his observations of spring fever and young love on the fact that he has lived along the millrace for some time and his studied the effect of spring days on college students.
