1. Don't give your professors apples.
Too obvious.
2. Find out his hobby and follow this
up with well-planned questions to draw
3. If the entire class walks out of the
classroom when the professor is ten minutes late, be the only one to wait, even
if it's half an hour. This procedure is
good for a B-plus any day in the week.
4. Always greet an instructor pleasantly, never using his first name, but a
cheery "Good morning, professor."
5. When sitting at the faculty table in
the dining hall or walking about the
administration buildings, always walk
with your head down as if in deep
thought, pondering some weighty problems in mathematics or philisophy. for
instance. This is highly recommended to
get on the honor roll.
6. Offer to wash the prof's car, put up
his storm windows or do any little job
around the house, but don't accept
money for the work. Wait for a grade.

up for the past few weeks, it seems as if the
whole idea were just another case of plow motion. However, in all fairness to the major-
domo of the Rally Committee, let it be said that
he almost hooked one—one name band. Yea, he
almost had Carl Ravazza signed on the dotted
line, but spring vacation intervened. While the

The problem of the liberal college is the'.tuc
the preservation of liberalism. If the lib- nam Un

they must be liberal in the truest sense prww««
of the word, and know what liberalism J^JJj

not a one-way street. It is necessary we   "J

You and Your
Publication
The majority of the merchants in Fresno
have decided that you as an audience
and as consumers and customers for
services they offer are very much worth
while.
It is natural that advertisers should
think so. They see THE COLLEGIAN
' as a publication eagerly read twice
weekly by 2.175 alert, intelligent consumers spending $1,490,193.93* in Fresno
per school year, hence merchants are
justified in deciding that such an audience should be included in their advertising plans.
However, YOU can aid YOUR publication in serving all the students better
by purchasing from COLLEGIAN advertisers and mentioning to them that
, you saw their displays in YOUR college *
newspaper. A number of students have
been instrumental in bringing the COLLEGIAN up for consideration by merely
commending it as an advertising medium
