THE SPOT-LIGHT
By J. C. X.
Spotlight's idea of a just cause
for an inferiority complex is when
grades come out and we find outI
grstexactly what the instructors
thing of our intellect.
And such grades! Personally I
I think I am perfectly justified in
writing a bool entitled "Why Pro-
fessors Behave Like Human Be-
ings," or don't they? About the
only consolation I can see in the
whole situation is the fact that
there is J-Hop to look back to. Yes,
I finally did get a bid!
And did we have a good time!
Didn't we come back with rings
under our eyes, a collection of
prize pictures and guest towels, to
say nothing about the favors and
the fraternity pin. And then we
woke up Monday A.M. to the tune.
of the alarm clock played in the
dismal key of C minor, gazed out
.upon the cold cruel world and de-.
cided what's the use anyway? No-,
thing exciting would ever happen
again. So we decided that we
might just as well visit a. couple of-
classes and see just exactly what
courses -were going to be pipes; if
the prof has a sense of humor, etc.,
and then by a process of elimina-
tion classify..
But, after all, you can't spend"
more than four days at this favor-
ite indoor sport so I guess that
college really has begun in earnest
again, if lengthy assignments are
any criterion. But sometimes we
wonder. For instance I ventured
in the main Library tonight, and as
a result I feel that the Spotlight is
justified in offering the following;
suggestions to the Regents. That
crutches be provided for all those,
people who wish to study Greek
fashion. That all blonds an other-
wise disturbing creatures be shot.
That the University is losing money1
by not serving coffee in the'lobby.
And that smoking rooms be pro-
vided for the boys, so that they
won't catch pneumonia while drap-
ed gracefully all over the Lib.
