A Dreadful Student Malady
This time each semester many students discover symptoms from a common ailment — procrastination. The malady is as prevalent as the cold and twice as deadly. Most of us suddenly discover that finals are at hand, reports are not completed, outside reading yet undone, and that unless we perform some fancy cramming or some tall examination guessing, those elusive things they call grade points are going to be a minus quantit on the transcript.
To all sufferers from this painful
By W. C. VON MAURER
The big record companies are out to break Petrillo's record ban. If they do, disc jockeys will be chanting "Hail Columbia" or "To the Victor belongs the spoils."
The U. S. has decided to send Turkey four submarines and Greece six. This decision will surely get us into deep water.

Inflation is costing Americans more and more to live every day. It's a case of coin, coin, gone.
Coffee is going up to 10 cents a cup and flying saucers are back. Pop-up toasters and cereal shot from guns grace our tables every morning. The average American's breakfast sounds like something out of Buck Rogers.
The Marshall plan is now known as the European Recovery Program or ERP. Most Americans hope that represents the somewhat impolite sound we can expect sometime in the future from a well-fed Europe.
Henry Wallace's bid for the presidency puts three major candidates into the political game. This makes it convenient for gamblers who can now take bets to win, place, or show.
General Graham, personal physician to President Truman, has recently been exposed as a commodities speculator. This just goes to prove that it doesn't pay to go against the grain.
Lord Mountbatten weds Princess Elizabeth. The ex-king of Romania chases a princess all over Europe. You can't say royalty isn't paying need to affairs of mate.
The reaction of Congress to President Truman's anti-inflation suggestions might be described as cool. Then again it might be just another blow-up.
When the U. N. partitioned Palestine, they certainly didn't intend for it to go to pieces.

malady there's solace to be found in a remark dropped recently by none other than Dean Paul B. Lawson. In commenting generally on the vicissitudes of college life, Dean Lawson said that part of the fun of college is taking exams.
To this we must have looked skeptical, because the dean elaborated. He said there's a feeling of excitement, a challenge to combat, a spirit of competition that thrills the student when he walks into the lethal chamber on examination day. This feeling, he said, creates a tension in most of us that brings out our best and gives us perception and insight that we don't usually have.
The idea is similar to the old theory that all persons have varying amounts of "killer instinct." Champions have it in such quantities that they don't perform their best until the chips are down.
Well, the dean may have something there. At least, we hope so, because precrastination is a painful disease; and a lot of us will need plenty of "killer instinct" as pain killer on examination day.

APO Will Organize For Next Semester
Executive committee recommendations on meeting plans and organization for next semester will be discussed at a meeting of Alpha Phi Omega, service fraternity, tonight at 7 o'clock in the Pine room of the Union. It will be the final meeting of the semester.
To be included in the recommendations are time, place and type of meetings. Standing committees and committee heads also will be named and final assignment of duties for the March of Dimes drive made.
Willis Tompkins, assistant dean of men, will give a brief talk.
We wonder if the fatherly, benign, spectacled, "man of distinction" in most of the ads at the local cinema ever gets tired of being so fatherly, benign, spectacled, and distinctive.
