    TIME FOR FASTING AND MODERATION"
it LENT—A
THE PREPARATION FOR THE CHRISTIAN TO REALLY PARTICIPATE TN
"LENT IS
CELEBRATION OF OUR LORD'S RESURRECTION''
lYhen thinking of Lent, the first thing
many students think of Is the vacation
which is gradually drawing near. How
ever, when we as individuals think of the
Lenten season, we think of our own senti
ments regarding this time of year. The
following, along with Mr. Me Kinstry's
comments on page two, are a few of the
sentiments expressed by members on the
faculty.
Lent is a time for fasting and moder
ation in everything we do. This moder
ation should be carried on throughout the
year, and not set aside for this particu
lar season. —Mrs. Bodenstein
Lent is a time for renewing one's
vows to participate more fully in academ
ic activities. —Mr. ¥llcox
Tn the spring of each year the world
series ball players go Into training to
become capable, top players for the ¥orld
Series. Lent is the preparation for the
Christian to really participate In the
Easter celebration of our Lord's resur- ,
recti on , If you do not have this spring
or Lental preparation you will not be able
to enjoy Easter, but will be like the
player who never took his spring training,
and instaad sat on the grand stand not
.knowing he has missed a great opportunity.
—Mrs. Kostenbauder
HI®ACRES COLLEGIAN
Pick up y ur paper every morning and
what do you read? "Crisis in Higher
Education!" "Desperate Need for More
Classrooms, More Teachers." But class
rooms, alas, do not spring up like mush
rooms, nor teachers like mayflies. So
what must we do while we build more class
rooms, train more teachers?
The answer can be given in one words
Speedup! Speed up the educational process
and Streamline courses. Eliminate frills.
Sharpen! Quicken!
Following is a list of courses with
suggested methods to speed up each one.
Physics— eliminate slow neurons.
Engineering—- make slide rules only half
as long.
Music— change all tempo to allegro.
Algebra — l if "x" always equals "0", much
time consuming computation can be
eliminated.
Languages— teach all language- courses in
Engllsh.
Poetry— amalgamate the classics. Like
