'TIL
MID=M REALIZATION
by "Karen Manuella
Midterm is here, and all of the sophs
know what that means--exams, papers, grades,
and deficiency notices. At this time, the
professors make it known as to just how bad
their students are doing. At this point,
the battle is half won for half lost), and
it is time to rally our forces and make our
last stand.
Most students, by now, are involved in
a number of outside activities, and have
responsibilities other than studying. To
them, the arrival of midterm comes as a
crushing blow, and they walk around with
an air of hopelessness and the despondency
of the doomed. Midterm, however, should—
be faced with an attitude of "awareness'.'-
.Awareness of the fact that half the term
is over, and there are only four weeks
in Vngch to pull up grades. This aware

is determination--and incentive to put
the pinnochle cards away, give up hustling
st the pool table, and eat lunch in the
cafeteria instead of at Kelly's. Even
though the cafeteria can't provide the
same menu that Kelly's does, it does have
a better atmosphere for studying. This
message is aimed more at the Frosh. The
sophomores know when to put the mugs
away, and when to take out the books.
To frosh the first five weeks were
periods of adjustment, and they were
easily caught up in the hustle and
bustle of other activities rather than
studies. They are probably having night
mares of tests, below-grade notices, and
Uncle Sam, who with longing looks, points
his whithered old finger at them. Don't
despair!!! The worst doesn't have to come.
It's all up to you:::
