in the job of maturing. you can
learn to work with a purpose. to
improve your habits of reading and
study how best to utilize your time.
Part of the maturing process
every student undergoes in college
is the problem of setting up new
relationships with others Of his
own age and looking to new author
tiles for guidance. This means TAX
ing part in outside activities-out-
side the regular scholastic require
ments, that is.
1t means taking part in the social
life of the college, its lectures. con-
certs, plays and athletic contests.
1t means taking part in campus
activities, Homecoming celebrations
and the like. It means learning to
reach your own decisions in money,
manners. morals and the way you
intend to live when you have been
graduated.
The decisions will be yours. The
