From the campus key-collector to the pledge who wants to `get into things' activities serve their purpose in rounding out our education. 'Getting ahead' in the activity world depends on capabilities, initiative, and much hard work. Often leisure time, studies, and social life give way to meetings and appointments . . . but the rewards are there . . . For those who get to the top the pay off often takes the form of a job credential. Even for those who dip lightly into the activity pie, the new acquaintances, lifelong friends, colorful experiences and good times make effort spent in activities worthwhile. For all of us the thrill of knowing what goes on behind the scenes and

the practical experiences of learning to budget time and to accept responsibility are of personal worth. From their campus testing ground to the real test of community living, activities bring a certain awareness that is of value when today's roddess beomes tomorrow's housewife . . . and we remember that some day the pledge will vote.
