Book-Cracking Now in Order About this stage in the game of cutting classes and never cracking a book, a warning bell rings. Bang, it hits you, just like that. And the unsuspect ing, contented (like the cows at OAC) student opens his mouth ' and bellows, like a cow that ain’t iontented no more: “Ye gods, finals in two weeks!” It hits you like a ton of very | ■ wet cement, like a short jab to the solar plexus. That one word (s potent enough to sour the cream in your cupacawfee. The sickening feeling in the .(lit of the stomach (where it felt so good last Thursday) grows as you start counting up on your fingers the exam schedule. The more you think of it, the more • you’d like to comit mayhem on whoever figured' out the deal. Either he totes a golden key or never had final exams slated for 8, 9, and 10 on a Monday morn ing. And just think, all this •omes free on the GI bill too. And these profs that give two hour exams. They can! seem to remember the deal is optional. Then there is the prof that wants to make you feel better and he sticks his thumbs in his vest and says in a knowing tone, "Oh, well, you know, grades don’t mean anything anyway.” “Oh yeah,” you mentally glare back, “and just how do you think r got that ‘2.00’ stamped on my nexigraph ?” That’d be a good one for him to theorize on for awhile. This is tlie time of year when an organizer for the Society for the Abolition of Final Exami nations really could gather the supporters. Or how about the abolition of professors and let Father Pioneer run the joint ? UW President Travels SEATTLE, Dec. 3 — (API — President Raymond B.
