TROY CRAMS AS STOP WEEK STARTS
This is stop week. Everything stops except readin’, writin\ and crammin’. The official thumbs are down on parties, plays, and dances, while the student body prepares for the “final” fling.
The purpose of stop week is to give both social and serious scholars a chance to confine their activities to academic endeavor in
preparation for the critical weeks of Jan. 19 and 26 without distracting influences.
The tradition of stop week has a comparatively recent origin. It started in the spring semester of 1944 and was originated by Collen Phipps, who was president of Mortar Board at the time. The idea was considered a good one and
was officially adopt< ASSC senate in time

. by the tjo be put into effect by the cl><jt of the semester.
Conceptions of stop k among the local collegiates H.tve been quite varied. A scoop Artist on the DT staff thought fttj referred to the temporary tern? Ration of ----?.j
publication. Some students assumed that it applied to the end of class meetings for the fall semester. and some, sad to say. had no idea what it meant.
George Tirebiter, whd* has ignored the ramifications of stop week in the past years, is considering observing the tradition
this year because of the dignity of his new position as SC mascot.
The midnight oil will hum brightly and textbooks will be well thumbed during the quiet hut intense week of cessation. Students applying themselves to the rigorous routine of homework have the bright grail of the final grade burning before them.
