     ‘Without students a professor

     students delusions of dic—

     ation, realize his respon— 
     
     sibility, and take advant-

     - is true that a good teacher 
     
    
   
   
    
     makes a better student, but 
     
     its also true that a good 
     
    
   
   
    
     student makes a better teacher. 
     
    
   
   
    
     A high quality university" 
     
     has high quality scholars. 
     
     Now, the quality of scholar— 
     
     ship is entirely up to us. 
     
     That doesn't mean sitting 
     
     in~the closet constructing 
     
     atomic models out of tooth- 
     
     picks and erasers, but it

     Hopefully, our life time 
     
     goals consist of more than

     Ifwe ever want to reach our 
     
     goals, we're going to have 
     
     to make an effort. 'Ihis 
     
     world still holds lots of

     sought. Any success means

     We, the students, are the 
     
     ones who make the schools 
     
     and universities goround. 
     
     If we're ever going to make 
     
     this world go round, its 
     
     to our best advantage to 
     
     put some substance into what 
     
     we do by~keeping the professors 
     
     on their toes and giving

     sate credit, not for their 
     
     skipping 'of university, but 
     
     for their courage. All'too 
     
    
   
   
    
     often, university is an excuse;
