New Sweetheart Reig Sigma C) Miss Janice Kay Miss Linda Weathers Miss Lill Mood Should Carolij BY COOKIE CRUM Staff Writer "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of ... Perhaps "grades" is the word we need to finish this quotation. Students are beginning to get that wary -look whenever a pro fessor seems unusually happy (imaybe he just finished makcing out a very interesting (?) final exam); and all over campus one can see the remnents of candles burnt at both ends.

It would keep both pro fessors and students on their toes and no one would tend to become lax in their studies. The students would be prepared. SYLVIA MOSELEY, a sophio more, says: "I think the fairest way to determine a grade is to have sev eral small tests during the se mester and a final covering the broad parts of a subject. "With so many exams to take at one time, a lot of students stay up all night for two or three nights in a row. By the time .they take the exam they are so exhausted that it ils no surprise if 'they fail. Most pro fessors expect their students to know minor details for their exams.
