Heavy Weight Loss
By Students In
Examinations
Students of Southwestern Univer-
sity paid for their cramming in the
last examinations with a loss of 800
pounds in weight, it is estimated by
the Bureau of Educational Surveys,
New York City.
The Bureau arrived at the figure
by multiplying an average of two
pounds weight loss reported by a re-
presentative group by 00 per cent of
Southwestern University students
who engage in intensive study before
and during examination periods.
According to the Bureau, profess-
ors and textbooks are as much to
blame for cramming as the students
themselves. Too often the instructor
does not provide his class with a
sufficiently clear overview of the en-
tire course, or does not review the
course in outline form from time to
time, with the result that the stu-
dent becomes hopelessly involved in
a mass of facts and ideas, and resorts
to cramming as a final, desperate
measure. Sometimes the instructor is
to blame for not couching lectures in
terms understandable to the average
student, and frequently the textbook
lacks continuity and organization, or
presents the course in too ponderous
and technical a manner for the aver-
age student’s comprehension. This
is particularly true of the 52% of all
students who, according to l)r. John
Black Johnson, retired dean of the
University of Minnesota College of
Science, Literature and the Arts, can
never become “successful students.’
Students in this group would never
pass at all but for the use of college
outlines or other supplementary aids
to study.

Seniors Picnic
In Bastrop
Friday, April 1
Dramatics Department
Gives Talented Show
Tho South western University Dra-
matics Department presented “The
Florist Shop’’, one of Winifred How-
ridge’s 47 Work Shop plays, in the
High School auditorium Tuesday ev-
ening, March 22, at 7 :J0 p.m.
The purpose of tfa evening’s per-
forunce was to give the Georgetown
patrons the play which will be en
tered in the State One-Act Play
Contest to be held in Lubbock beg-
inning March 28 and for the play-
ers to get the reaction of a real
audience in order to strengthen
their weak points before entrance in
the contest.
The comedy, directed T>y Mrs. Mnu-
rine Underwood, and sponsored by
the Georgetown High School and
the Business Woman’s Circle of the
Missionary Society, was enthusias-
tically received.
Tin* players, Dorothy Rentfro, Jane
Brown, Ford Ainsworth, Allen Grobe
and Thomas Bell Popejoy were
strong in their characterizations. The
stage setting, which was the inter-
ior of a florist shop, was arranged
with modernistic furniture, pedes-
tals and beautiful paper flowers
which were constructed by members
of the university dramatics dep-
artment.
Carruth Palmer, baritone student
from Yoakum, proceeded the play
with a group of three solos, accom-
panied by Mrs. Mary Robbins, of
Wichita Falls.
Max Busshart, ex-student, visited
on the campus last week.
