sonnel departments wants the Stu
dent Government to be a success.
They have expressed their desires
to this extent. We, too, should pos
sess this attitude and cooperate
with the government so as to offer
satisfaction to our family and pre
pare for those who must follow.
Advisors Chester Hampton, Darwin T. Turner and Franklin S. Jom-s Livingston served as hostesses.
In the last issue of the PANTHER there appeared an
article entitled “From the Editors.” In this article you were
asked to participate in the publishing of the paper by sub
mitting letters and other articles. As yet, in respcnse to this
most urgent request we have received no editorials.
Many of you ask repeatedly, “When is the PANTHER
coming out?” To those who ask this question we say, “Let
your interest manifest itself in another way: contribute to
the PANTHER.” There is a tremendous amount of news
that escapes our coverage; news that would make the
PANTHER more interesting and valuable. There are stu
dents who see the need of correcting aspects of Clark activi
ties, or praising them. Write letters to the editor.
The PANTHER is still the work of too few persons. It
is for you that the PANTHER is published; contribute to
your college newspaper. —Harold Hamilton.

work hard. Students of American P^n. It will help you in your work.
History know that our country was
built by hard work. Even genius,
as Edison pointed out, is one per
cent inspiration and 99 percent per
spiration.
Some people respect work so
much they make their tasks un
necessarily hard — a habit both
wasteful and discouraging. We
have developed a technique for
making work easy. This plan was
formulated with the help of several
students. First: Don’t get the idea
that you are carrying the world
on your shoulders. The world would
get along without you. Don’t take
yourself so serious. Secondly: Tell
yourself that you like your work.
Then it will become a pleasure, not
drudgery. Perhaps you do not need
to change your work. Change your
self, and your work will seem dif
ferent. Thirdly: Plan your work,
and above all, work your plan. Lack
of system produces that “I’m all
swamped” feeling. Fourth: Give
proper consideration to your fel-
