Intramural football competition
has started, and the Potent One's
are currently on top with a 3-0 re
cord. The Loners are in second

tom of the standings are the Hard
Corps and Roadrunners. Both of
these teams have yet to taste vic
tory.
The Potent One's narrowly de
feated the Hard Corps by a 10-6 mar
gin. This is indicative of the keen
competition throughout the league.
Any one of the four teams has the
ability to come off with a win in
any given game.

HIGHACRES COLLEGIA
CROWDED CLASSES?
If anyone happens to see Dr. Win
walking around the campus with an
enormous stack of blue books under
his arm, you can bet that they aren't
from his Chem. 30 class. The fact
is that with only three pupils in his
class, Dr. Win isn't too busy cor
recting test papers. However, as
the students will tell you, the size
of the class certainly hasn't affect
ed the quality of the organic chem
istry exams, they're just as hard as
ever. The three just cannot see
how such a small class can be so
difficult and present so many large
problems. The benefits of having
few pupils in a class are obvious.
The students are beginning to refer
to Dr. Win as their private tutor.
One disadvantage of the small class
is that it is extremely difficult for
any of the three to cut class. Any
teacher is bound to notice if a third
of his class is missing. Be careful
when you refer to this class. Call
it small, but not puny. Look at it
this way, a lot of compact cars are
on the market this year. So, Penn
State, not to be undone, produced a
compact chemistry class.
YEA, TEAM!
