School has begun, summer has past and many of us are experiencing a new way of living. I am, of course, speaking of college life. Some of us are beginning to believe it will be for life, too! For many of us college is the largest step we've made away from home and parents. It is both exciting and fright- ening. Problems do arise, and we have to make decisions which have never confronted us before. As students, we are faced with many of the same problems as those of our classmates. It is often helpful to discuss these problems with friends , or a counselor. I believe discovering that other students have the same problems will help tremendously. College is fun, and you 'll find that a good sense of humor is a beneficial aid. I'm speaking of the gourmet dinners your roommates will preparefor you. An exceptional humor, and a more than ample supply of "bromo seltzer" should carry you through, or out of this. The morning rush to the bath can be a calamity. Two weeks in a rest home should solYe all of these trivial problems. · - Circle K Club Is Orqanized At ACt Among the many extra - cur. ricular activities at A.C.C. per- haps the most important of them all are the various clubs whlch are offered to both fresh- men and sophomores.
