talion Staff will put covers on thefr type-
wi'itiM'b for the last time this semester and
will slowly make their way to the dormi
tories for the final battle against examin
ations.
; Finals always cause raised Eyebrows,
loSs of sleep and generally result in a
prodigious last ditch “battle’’ with the
books,
« Some term grades will be raised by the
exainination grades while other must in
evitably be lowered. Regardless of the
outcome of final exams, we hope that the
score made on these exams will reflect the
true ability , of the individual who is being
"examined’’.
Without climbing upon a soap box of
rself righteousness, we hope that there will
i be more time spent upon acquiring the
facts about a subject rather than in find-
ing whew the exam papers are stored.

To put it bluntly we believe that the man
who cheats on tomorrow’s exam is more
likely to faje the same man who is on trial
for embezzling money in 1960.
We livZ in a world-of gigantic physical
and technical achievement. Enormous as
this progress has been, the human ele
ment is still the most important. Bricks

only as much afe honest, industrious, imag

'coming semester will be pleasant and prof

she said. “But I think we had more
