It won't be long now-we keep telling ourselves-summer is just around
the proverbial corner and, come June, all sorts of courageous souls will
pour into Ann Arbor to get back to ye olde grinde. We've heard all kinds
of prophecies as to how the whole thing is going to turn out-i.e. whether
it will be just plain hot, or really HOT-whether there will be ten men to
one woman or only four-whether professors will wear coats-whether
they'll go through with the old tradition of giving exams or let the students
succumb to the season's lethargy, etc. ... etc. ... etc. ... But we figure
that any prophecy anyone makes about Ann Arbor is bound to be wrong-
and, consequently, we refuse to play Cassandra. Certain general specula-
tions and inquiries as to probable conditions may, however, be made with
comparative safety, so we're going to take our chances and speculate.
There are two schools of thought in regard to the general outcome of
the summer semester. One school holds that things will be all right so long
as the ice cream holds out. The other maintains that ice cream is not the
important factor--things, they say, will be fine if only nothing happens to
the cokes. Now this, we feel, is a problem which merits a good deal of atten-
tion. What, we ask, are the chances of ice cream's surviving the summer?
Is the coke becoming extinct? If one of them is going to disappear, which
one will it be? Naturally, if we knew that ice cream was going to make a
graceful exit, the ice cream school could immediately set about developing
a task for cokes, and vice-versa. The whole trouble is that nobody knows,
so nobody can feel safe.
Then there are other problems. Are assignments and things going to
interfere with activities like canoeing, or will the coast be clear for vital
recreational pursuits? Will hot weather wear be limited to conventional
things like dresses, or are people going to be broadminded in the face of
the summer climate? Is there any truth in the rumor that classes and
fresh air seminars are going to be held in the Arboretum, or are we going
to be reactionary about this and go on having classes in academic buildings?
Needless to say, these are questions to which we do not pretend to know
the answers. If anyone knows them we wish he'd tell us, because, after all,
this suspense is terrible. At any rate, it won't be long now before we find
out, and meanwhile, we may, all of us, tread our happy paths, expecting
blithe summer days and lemonade orgies, confident that in our ignorance
and our expectations we are not alone.

Joe College' Sets Study S ctndaids
For 'reen' Freshmen by Bcid Habits
By ANN SCHUTZ
Between Union dances, blind dates,
patriotic war work, house parties,
bull sessions and walks in the Arbor-
etum the successful college fresh-
man must squeeze in a little time
for study. (His academic counselor
tells him!)
The best way to learn exactly how
it is not to be done is to watch typi-
cal Joe College in action. Joe has
spent years in perfecting his style
and he is proud of it.
Tomorrow, along with its many
other blessings, brings a bluebook in
Joe's 8 o'clock on prehistoric anthro-
pology and its influence on the love-
life of the butterfly. It's rather ob-
vious, even to Joe, that the books
must be hit, but hard, tonight.
Devoting a whole evening to study-
ing requires a great deal of prepara-
tion. Joe tactfully explains to Sally,
his steady, that hetwon't be able to
see her that night; postpones his
7 o'clock date with Joan; and tells
Kay that their late date is off. (Man
shortage, you know!)
The next step is to choose the right
place to study. The room is nice and
cozy but so are the fellows in the
corridor. The parlors downstairs
would be ideal, but some goof is al-
ways picking that same time to
search for the lost chord on the pi-
ano. The chairs at the League and
at the Union are conducive to only
one thing-sleep. The general li-
brary is definitely the best place to
go.
The important things to do in
studying at the library are to get an
early start and not to forget any-
thing-textbook, four pencils, note-
book, fountain pen, chewing gum,
cigarettes. Once at the library a
minimum time must be spent in get-
ting the four pencils sharpened,
working that penny ink machine to
fill the pen, getting a drink, selecting
a seat far enough away from the
nearest blonde-in order to avoid
complications.
Now the studying begins. Joe
works like a demon. He reads the
textbook; he deciphers notes bor-
rowed from the class brain; he un-
derlines in red pencil; he recites to
himself; he studies like mad.
About 9 he is suddenly interrupted
by the thought that it has been
literally ages since his last fag. So
he's off to the outside steps. On his
way down the stairs he meets friend
George, who has the same bluebook
tomorrow; but George has a study
date. That's the system-business
plus pleasure.
At 10 p.m. the library closes, so
Joe is off for home. After all this
hard work he decides that what he
needs is food (for thought?). Using
only an hour or two for talking with
the boys tnd writing that long-over-
due letter home, he resumes his
studying.
At 3, Joe decides that a clear head
acquired by a good night's sleep is
much better than any amount of
last-minute knowledge and he falls
into bed. Taking care first to open
his book, tuck it gently under his
pillow. Now he can honestly say
that he spent all night on it.
As Joe staggers into his 8 o'clock
with a bluenbook clenched in his fist,
he sees the handwriting on the wall
-Prof. Bloke has been drafted and
will not be able to be present this
morning.
In spite of Joe's tough luck in not
being able to take his expected blue-
book, one can be sure that he will
continue in his wise methods of
study. Joe's final advice to fresh-
men would be: "Study, kids, that's
what got me where I am today."
would be ideal, but some goof is al- George, who has the same bluebook

Although there is reason to be-
lieve that the famous "Island" is
merely a rumor too, there are cer-
tain objects on that broad expanse of
water that prove its former existence.
Picnic tables, oven, and benches
that once stood upon lush, green turf
now rise persistently above the rapids
of the swollen Huron. Willow trees
under which students used to loll
now are reflected in the water sur-
rounding their roots. The whole
scene has the atmosphere of a Mis-
sissippi bayou.
The only way that golfers can ap-
proach the green on the adjacent
course is by canoe.
But the risen water is bound to
subside and every sceptic on the sub-
ject will be shdwn that terra firma
does exist under the tide.

Heads of each of the class projects
were also placed on the council, since
their work has to do with different
war activities.
Ceoperation Is Increased
Reports are rendered by each of
the council members at the weekly
meetings of this organization. Now
that the group has been reorganized
each activity leader is well informed
on what other groups are doing, and
thus can work with greater coopera-
tion, and in a more efficient, orderly
fashion.
Many of the above duties will not
be continued this summer, but the
majority of those concerning war
work will be carried on.

While studying, doing war work, in the class-
room, or on the social whirl, both style and
comfort are a necessity to every young college
girl. Wise coeds establish their shopping head-
quarters at THE VAN BUREN SHOP. We carry
corps.
The Buildings and Grounds Crew
will definitely continue this summer
with the workers receiving the same
amount of pay for their work, that
I is, sixty cents an hour. Hours will
probably be the same as they have
been during the spring semester.
At the sub-station behind Water-
man Gym, women may sign up to
work every day of the week from 1
p.m. to 5:30 p.m., on Saturdays from
9 a.m. to noon and again at 1 p.m.
until 5:30 p.m., and on Sundays from
9 a.m. to noon, beginning again at 2
p.m. and continuing through until
5:30 p.m. As was the custom during
this session, coeds will be asked to
work for two hours at a time, prefer-
ably beginning on the hour.
Besides the Buildings and Grounds
Crew, there will be crews working
inside various buildings washing
windows and generally cleaning up
in an all-out summer cleaning job.
