Show Our fingers curve around a pencil ... a pencil that, in the university world, may be the instrument to open a broadening vista of progress ... a pencil that for the student, fills blue books or doodles margins of texts. In the hands of the administrative heads, it may direct the progress of Utah's building program or her academic standards. In the hands of the student it is part of his exploration into knowledge and experiences. The senior's exploration is at a peak. He stands, seeing with the clear perspective of experience behind and work to come. The excitement of ascending power catches the juniors in its spell . . . detailed studying, activities, social confidence. Sophomores, also, begin to survey university life as a whole, critical of its functions and just glad not to be a freshman. And even the frosh are happy; the processes of registration, the freedom of campus routines, the thrill of singing, "I am a Utah Man, Sir," enthralls them in the net of campus enthusiasm-a pleasant entanglement that no collegiate or alum can seem to avoid. |
