Experience is a great teacher so my advice to anyl new student is ask questions; it saves shoe coupons. Anyway I've since learned that upper clasmen are so confused with registration that. they don't nQtice anyone's stu pidity anyway - that is, anyone's except their own. At the time that I entered my Alma Mater, the country had been swept with letters addressed to all the boys with such a cordial salu tation-GREETINGS! This result ed in having all the boys of the country deposited in camps and schools that few~ small towns could boast. How wonderful it was to find myself in the midst of one of these deposits. Since those <days, my eyes have dulled, my hair has thinned, my figure has bent, but with my cane I find myself still plugging along. Don't despair, freshmen, and feel that the upper classmen are laugh ing at you--. just laugh at them and say "Whatjj wouldn't you give to re;.ain your youth and be in my shoes!" Fr'aterniities Must Wait Sixty D)ays Before Rushing The I nterfraternity C'ounc i at its last meeting approved a newv regu lation concerning "rushing" by fra-~ ternities.
