About twice each year a strange phenomenon, termed “carrel-cramming” by sociologists, occurs in some of the Texas A&M dorms.

rings. It all tastes good at 3 a. m. Go to the grocery store
and really invest. Your health is not everything.
Survival Tip No. 5 — Unload all guns, hide the
knives and tire irons, and tell your roommate anything
you say after Sunday, Dec. 10, cannot be held against
you. People in the grips of final-itis have been known to
do rash things, especially when the roommate has only
one final. . . and gloats about it. Remember, you may
need someone to pay half the bills next semester.
Survival Tip No. 6 — Tell your lover you’ll see
him/her/it when your finals are over. But then
again .. .
Survival Tip No. 7 — Take cold showers. Especially
if you take No. 6 seriously.
Survival Tip No. 8 — Take the phone off the hook.
People contemplating suicide will hug you all night.
Survival Tip No. 9 — Take a break and read some
thing totally unrelated to school. Playboy and Hustler
are not recommended. See No. 7.
Survival Tip No. 10 — Call up your Organic
Chemistry professor and plead for an open-book,
open-note test. The maniacal laughter on the other end
of the phone is good motivation.
Survival Tip No. 11 — Make an obscene phone call
to an 845-number. You’ll brighten some fellow stu
dent’s night. Then see No. 7.
Survival Tip No. 12 — Think about that ski trip, or
party, or dance, or spending all that money, or working
for two weeks at that crowded department store, or
seeing all those little TV Santas skiing merrily on
Norelco shavers over and over and over. . . What fun
you’ll have during vacation.
The
13th-hour
A
by Michael W. Lambert (’77)
Now I lay me down to worry.
I pray the prof will buy my story.
If I had started a month ago,
I’d be finished now I guess you know.
But to do things right is not my way,
I’d rather stay up night and day
And work my butt until it drags.
With eyes all red and a chin that sags.
I only have this one desire,
More coffee please to make me higher.
More caffeine my head to spin.
This race with time I hope to win,
But if I don’t I shall not fret,
A real good story will save me yet.
I’ll say,
A grandma died ... no . . . make that two.
My father is ill and my mother blue.
My brother quit school to go to work,
My girl and I expect the stork.
My world is a mess I’m sure you see,
I have this disease . . . no . . . make that three.
So that is why my work is late,
I’m sure that you don’t mind the wait.
So,
Now I lay me down to worry,
I pray the prof will buy my story.
If I had started a month ago,
I’d be finished now I’m sure you know.
