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. the Alpha Kappa Mu Honorary Reserve in 1941, has completed resi- Society, a member of Alpha Phi dence requirements for the M.

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- Take these helpful hints with you wherever you go. Study them care fully.
