OFF THE CUFF
SPRING FEVER By Virginia Robertson
SPRING HAS NEVER really come to stay this year.
She only. seems to poke her head in the door and then to run
away. But her hurried appearances have been enough to infect exam-
ridden students with that old familiar ailment, spring fever. It's all
around you now.
People stare into space in the library, with a glassy-eyed expres-
sion, or walk down the sidewalk without seeing anything or anyone.
And in general, it's difficult for spring fever-ridden students to see.
the woods for the trees, much less to get any normal jobs and assign-
ments accomplished.
Take a look at yourself while you're at it, if it seems as though
you have no energy for doing anything besides sitting around relaxing
and you can't seem to get anything done.
But, you know, this general feeling might be due to something
else besides a general innate laziness in man, which seems to make an
annual appearance when warm weather rolls around in the Northern
climes.
* * * *
A NEW ANGLE has been brought into the picture by the scientists
concerning the common ailment. E. Wendell Hewson reported
some very startling facts about spring fever, which were discovered
through research and experiments at the University of Pennsylvania.
It was discovered there, that when warm weather arrives after
a spell of cold weather, the volume of the blood increases. This increase
tends to produce a tired, and worn-out feeling, commonly branded as
spring.fever.
As yet only theories have been developed as to why the blood
volume Icreases and how to stop this increase which produces "spring
fever."
Although it's not really a very crippling disease in the normal
case, spring fever is so common and widespread that a cure for the
pest might turn out to be a widely heralded event by all its common
sufferers.
But, in the meantime, you'll be able to see it's a ects all around.
And if you do happen to recognize it in yourself, the 's not much else
you can do about it now, except to buck up the best you can, and keep
yourfingers crossed until after finals.,

find these activities a good means
of relaxation from the drudgery of
classesrand hot weather which the
summer time usually brings.
To start the summer session,
Paul Brodie and his band will pro-
vide music for the annual mixer
which will be held on June 22 in

shirts while coeds will be approp-
riately attired in full skirts and
blouses..

10:30 p.m. Admission will be free.
