Attempts to Split a Course, Will Get It in End, Not Middle

An Eliot House sophomore mounted the Holyoke House stairs at 9 a.m. yesterday to have his adviser sign his study card. All went well until the adviser--a new man, who will be identified herein merely as Shultz--questioned the sophomore's desire to skip the first half of a course and start immediately with the second portion.

Schultz asked the student a few questions based on material covered in the course. The Eliot man couldn't answer them.

"I don't think you should start that course in the middle," said Schultz.

Enraged, the student replied, "It's your business to sign my card, not to give advice." The adviser sighed and signed, and our man strode out haughtily, well pleased with himself.

At 10 a.m. he bounded into the first section meeting of the disputed course, and learned that his section man was the same Mr. Schultz.
