Then you need to. attend class today. Lean back in your chair with your feet on the man in front of you . . . your prof is about to begin . . . you’re beginning to feel drowsy ... see what happens. Alibi The final step in flunking is the prep aration of your alibi or excuse for being sent home. Many of the old stand-bys are hazing, corps life, unfair profs and too many outside activities. By JIM HAMILTON Battalion Staff Writer Monday will be a black day for many students. For others, it will be a day of amazement over the fact that they have some decent grades after all. If you are in the unhappy category Monday, then this article is for you. Over the years, several sure-fire ways of flunking have been de veloped. These range from simple, easy things to difficult chores which require a large amount of effort and concentration. According to Jim Earle and Cadet Slouch, both experts on the subject, flunking can be easy if you work at it. Their knowledge on the subject is portrayed in a book let available to all students, at no cost, entitled, “How To Flunk.” The following paragraphs in clude many of the prescribed methods for obtaining little or no grade in any course: First of all, if you are sleepy and your roommate won’t let you sleep, then go to class—it is usual ly very peaceful there and without any effort, you can sleep soundly. However, some profs aren’t very cooperative. In this case, you will probably have to stay awake. You might pass the course, too. If you don’t want to stay awake • % and your prof won’t let you sleep, TSlf then the best thing to do is to cut class. If you cut class all the time, you will come out ahead be cause your prof won’t even get to know you and therefore can’t get disgusted with you. This way, you can take the same prof again next year when you re peat the course and he won’t even remember you! If you are still passing through no fault of your own, then you will have to be more conscientious about flunking. Many people feel that they should attend class regularly even though they are working hard at flunking. The best solution to this problem is to habitually come to class late. It also helps if you are noisy when you get there late. Having already mentioned that some people like to attend class, still another way to flunk is to avoid taking notes, If you think about it for a while, you will see the practicability of this. You will have huge sums of money by not having to purchase note paper and this money will be available to spend when you go home every weekend, which is also an equally easy way to flunk. Why stay here at school on weekends when everyone is study ing and no one craves fun ? If you go home you will have fun, spend your money and be much better off than those who stayed here. There ai’e actually some indi viduals who stay here on week ends. For those, we offer this sug gestion. Obtain a collection of pin ups from some of your friends and put these where you can see them over the top of your books. Thjs way, you will surely kill all chances of accomplishing anything when you stay here. If you are the hermit type, and want to be alone, then bother your friends when they want to study and soon they won’t speak to you at all, much less help you with your studies. If, after all of these easy sug gestions on how to flunk, you still want to pass or make beitter grades, then the following sugges tions, as listed in the back of Earle’s booklet, may help: 1. See your profs and depart ment heads. 2. See your unit faculty advisors. 3. See your scholastic officer. 4. See all upperclassmen.
