tl19670322-000 "The beginning of Spring is marked by the vernal equinox, which occurred yesterday at 12:37 p.m. (EST). At that time, the Sun crossed the equator making night and day of equal length. Yeah, Sun!!! Bill Yakaitis Heads Orientation Staff by LARRY HORWITZ The new officers of the Student Orientation Committee were elected last week and have been announced. The new officers who will serve under remaining President Bill Yakaitis are: First Vice-President, Dwight Dingle, Second Vice-President, Examination Scheduling Re-adjusted By LINDA COLEBANK Rumors have been confirmed by the Registrar's office con-cerning the extension of the exam period for this semester. The final examinations will be spread over nine days of a two- Week span. Reading day will be May 15, a Monday. Exams will begin on the 16th and con-tinue until Friday, the 26th. This date was the original time for the completion of exams. The extra week will be taken from the regular instruction period; therefore, the last day of class for the Spring semester will be Thursday, May 11. May 12 will be final registration in the gym for the next semes-ter. The nine-day exam schedule Is an attempt to eliminate the conflicts that arose in the old ai(-day schedule. There were tudents with three or four exams on one day, or even two at the same time. Because of t4ultiple sections of history, riglish, physical education and cither large required courses, 12 ()f the 30 possible exam periods had to be specially set aside, ��Phich left only 18 for all other course offerings in the school. Under the new plan, these ril�oblems should be alleviated, tM nce there will be six days with possible exam periods and th ree days with four possible )(4111 periods.

Culminating a series of teas, meetings, nomination sessions and election meet-ings last Thursday's election meeting also accomplished other important things. Com-mittees were set up to hand-le such functions of S.O.C. as the Picnic, Smoker, Tea,, Moving-In Day, and Spot-light '67. All these programs,"" said President Bill Yakaitis, ""are de-signed to help the freshman feel that he's part of the college situation as well as an indi-vidual."" One of the problems that this highly selective, well organized organization has met is the difficulty of gearing the program to 'clay-hop' as well as to resident students. ""We hope to more and more include the day-hops in our activities this year,"" said Yakaitis. Spring 1/414 Sprung! ""These flowery waters and these watery flowers � From snow that melted only yester-day."" � Robert Frost. It's that time of year when a young man's fancy turns to thoughts of . . . composing sweet, endearing lines (see Let-ters to the Editor, Page 2) . . . outdoor activity (see Sports, Page 5) . . . money (see ads, Pages 6 & 8) . . . love (see Shakespeare's Sonnets, Library). It's that time of year that prompted Geoffrey Chaucer to remark ""When that Aprill with his shovers soote-The droghte of March hath perced to the root,e . . ."" And again, Emily Dickinson observed that ""These are the days when birds come back,�A very few, a bird or two, taking a backward look."" More practically, classes close for the Spring Vacation period tomorrow after the final class. School will re-convene on Monday, April 3. The Albert S.

As we celebrate today the First Anniversary (1 day) of Spring, we cannot help but be moo Vol. XIX, No. 19 reminded of ""March 14"", a poem written by Dave Ettlin of the Tower Light staff: I pick out from the soggy fields an earthworm smell which sings to me in death its heralding of spring. I see upon that branch which yields fresh buds a touch of green, and see in that another song of spring. I sing to dying earthworms, to the buds upon maternal trees the lines I know annually of birth and death, to grow and mellow, die and be reborn in loves which reaching from the drenched, just-thawed wormfields, that giving raindrops spermlike to my face and thundering the pains at birth in spring cry out ""I am spring, I am Love.""
