THE DAILY doLTEGIAN: ST
At night these demented beings
roam the corridors and, in some
cases, even • underground steam
pipes,, Perhaps they search for
light to throw on notes taken
when they- were not illustrating
the profs. profile. But there is no
light. It rains.
• Some of the craftier ones have
made across index, of three other
person's notes. , You can get sport
ing odds from their roommates
that said this exam .will be based
on the book. .
If one were to ask "What do you
want to get out of college, any
way?" sober citizens of this•quaint
hamlet would wait an impressive
moment, jab you with their little
finger, and boom, "Why, the pur
suit of knowledge, dolt!"
Not-so-sober co-travelers in this
vale of tears would smile dazz
lingly, and with an earthshaking
groan, answer, "Guess!"
Hopelessly then, the student
goes to the final. He resists taking
40 aspirins or the early milk train
to Reading. Perhaps he will take
a little something from his room
mate's private stock, but that's
only to keep awake. He doesn't
have to build up his nerve, not he.
The student, in black despair,
has weighed the advantages of a
hitch in the Coast Guard with
every moment he has been pre
paring for the final—and he has
been up all night.
But he goes to the final. This
simple fact shows just how deep
and abiding is our faith in miracles.
