Four
Students Find Biology
Lab Equipped With Cats
And Evolution Theories
Throe afternoons n week, you
can find students browsing around
in the Biology Lab under the din
ing hall and kitchen.
Some may be diligently looking
for various kinds of our queer lit
tle friends of the infinitesinal
world.
Others may be trying to find
their resemblance to a dog, a bug,
or a shark. Or even perhaps, they
may have a misconception of Dar
win’s theory, trying perhaps to
find out if we really did spring
from a monkey, and if we really
Can have tails, and if we really do
have fins like fishes.
Yet others may be examining
their inner being, looking at the
labeled bones, and to find that
a common hip is called medically,
a word with dozens, literally doz
ens of letters.
Some are started at the possibil
ity or the impossibility of the
existence of cells, protoplasm, etc.,
as they do exist.
One finds a small group of sci
entifically minded boys who have
begun, on their own hook, a dis
section of a cat. (Do the boys in
the dorm remember the old white
pussy?)
On the afternoon of the etheriza
tion, you will see tears spring intd*
the cat-surgeon's eyes, followed by
an accompaning handkerchief.
Maybe you know why.
To the freshmen, and, be it
known or not, to the generally sci
entifically uniformed sophomores,
the entire equipment, all biological
and zoological paraphernalia (bugs,
snakes, tubes, microscopes, draw
ing, to you) have been, shall we
say, amazingly renovated and in
creased.
Come down to the biology lab
whether or not you take biology or
zoology.
A sophisticated co-ed is one who
knows how to refuse a kiss with
out being deprived of it.

ARE COLLEGE HOURS
LONG ENOUGH FOR
EFFICIENT WORK?
HTUDY MADE OF QUESTION AT
SANTA ANA JUNIOR
COLLEGE
Are hours elastic enough to be
stretched? In one college week
there are 120 hours.
A supposed schedule for an aver
age student might be: Sixteen
units of class work confined to six
teen hours. For each unit there
“should” be three hours outside
work done, making forty-eight
hours for study each week. With
nine hour sleep each night, forty
five hours are gone. One hour
each week between classes added
to ten of N. Y. A. duty or outside
work brings the total to 120—
the entire school week has already
been consumed.
But there has to be at least 3, if
not 5 for athletic participation. Six
are needed for shows, vespers, etc.,
and 3 for an occasional half-hour
radio program. And what about an
occasional week-end dance?
The forty-eight hours on Tues
day and Saturday come at the
wrong time, for there are club
meetings, out-of-town dances, as
semblies, shopping tours, religious
duties—and once in a great while
a visit from parents, relatives, and
friends.
What about collateral reading
and relaxation, or just plain loaf
ing? How can a fellow find time
to practice his speech for his best
girl, and vice versa?
Now is there any wonder why
students are “scared” of examina
tions, and are forced to cram?
