On Campus with MaxShuIman (Author of "Barefoot Boy With Cheek," etc.) HOW TO BE A THUMPING BIG SUCCESS ON CAMPUS While up in the attic last week hiding from a bill collector I came across a letter, yellow now with age, that dear old Dad had sent me when I was a freshman. I read the letter again and recalled, with many a sigh and not a few tears, what an inspira tion it had been to me back in my freshman days. I reproduce it below in the hope that it may light your way as it did mine. “Dear Son, (Dad always called me Son. This was short for Sonnenberg, which was originally my first name. I later traded it with a man named Max. He threw in two outfielders and a left- handed pitcher . . . But I digress.) “Dear Son, (Dad wrote) “I suppose you are finding college very big and bewildering, and maybe a little frightening too. Well, it need not be that way if you will follow a few simply rules. “First of all, if you have any problems, take them to your teachers. They want to help you. That’s what they are there for. Perhaps they do seem rather aloof and forbidding, but that is only because they are so busy. You will find your teachers warm as toast and friendly as pups if you will call on them at an hour when they are not overly busy. Four a.m., for instance. “Second, learn to budget your time. What with classes, activi ties, studying, and socihl life all competing for your time, it is easy to fall into sloppy habits. You must set up a rigid schedule and stick to it. Remember, there are only 24 hours in a day. Three of these hours are spent in class. For every hour in class, you must, of course, spend two hours studying. So there go six more hours. Then, as everyone knows, for every hour of study ing, you must spend two hours sleeping. That accounts for an other twelve hours. Then there are meals—two hours each for breakfast and lunch, three hours for dinner. Never forget, Son nenberg, you must chew each mouthful 288 times. You show me a backward student, and I’ll show you a man who bolts his food. “But college is more than just sleeping, eating, and studying. There are also many interesting and broadening activities, and you would be cheating yourself if you neglected them. You’ll want to give at least an hour a day to the campus newspaper and yeai’book, and, of course, another hour each to the dramatic and music clubs. And let’s say a total of three .hours daily to the stamp club, the foreign affairs club, and the debating society. Then, of course, a couple of hours for fencing and bird-walking, a couple more for square dancing and basket weaving, and one or two for cribbage and ice-sculpturing. “Finally, we come to the most important part of each day-what I call ‘The Quiet Time.’ This is a period in which you renew yourself—jmsf relax and think green thoughts and smoke Philip Morris Cigarettes.
