The Spring Drive Let all who are faced by the impend ing doom of coming examinations take heed and profit by the advice of a com panion. Less than six weeks remain. Start reviewing now. Don't put off what youl can do today. But fight that natural desire to go lie on the grass in the cool shade, and put in some extra time in study, and the effort will be remunerative. You will do better on examinations, and above all you will have the feeling of satisfaction that al ways remains after real honest effort has been made in a worth while pursuit. Think what it will mean to you to be able to say to your folks in June that you not only passed all of your classes, but that you did it with a safe margin because you really studied. The reward is worth the effort. Buck up and nake Editorials No part of a newspaper or magazine is so painstakingly prepared as its editorials, and no part is so little read. And it can be truly said that in a meas ure they fail in their object for that very reason. Those people who read the editorials are stiliciently interestd in the various phases of college life and ip-to date issues to give the matters their qnsideration without reading what the .fditor has to say. -ditorials have a purpose. They are not intended merely b fill up space. In the last analysis, ed itorials are a conscious attempt to stim tate thought and mold opinions. And it is cruelly ironic that the class of read ers which would protit most by the Jerusal of the editor's columns consider 6iem instead a waste of time. The edi bor knowing this is excuseably ofter kmpted to forego the efTort. The only appreciation .f this department comes from the students who think for them selves, and it often happens that they ind the editor's expression exactly ii1 point with the ideas they have already formed. It is conceded that there must a mutuality of efTort on the part o: th editor and reader, that is to say at the editor must work to produce (-di irts which are readable aid of in .erest. This is ain efTort that hec is at ay imakinag, and it remains for1 the aerto do his plart, for only he whc I eketh shall find, and onily he who wilh shall know.

Wasted Opportunities ~ai More years ago than lie likes to admi 'writer entered the University. Bacd ur wvas a repetition of the one tha r d~ goie before. Classes were a sid<( e. to the campus course. Superf'icia ~thblings in various activities were pro. O ective of hut negligible results. Look. t Jgbackward there is a sharp regre S1at a passion for bull sessions, loafins hd idleness spread over the years, tool< place of a thirst for k,n,m,le,ge There is a regret that classes were then considered as routine work toward grad uation, and in themselves valueless, and that the library was merely a place where they had fiction amagazines. As true as the old adage is it that all play and no work will also make Jack a dull boy. With the above as background the wisdom of experience desired to be pass on is that at the University there are )pportunities for the development of the student which if taken full advantage of now, will ever be a source of stimula tion, and if not heeded will imbue with lasting regret the man who passed them by. Boost loost your school, boost your friend, itost tle society vout attend, Boost the dormitory where you live, Boost your class, no other will. Boost the people round about you, h'lley can get along without you. But success will quicker find them I f they know that you're behind them. Boost for every forward movement, Boost for every new improvement, Boost the teacher for whom you labor, Boost the classmate and the neighbor. Cease to be a chronic knocker, ('ease to be a progress blocker, If you'd make your school better Boost it to tile final letter. -E:x.
