Needed: A Course
Can you name three good reasons (and I mean logical ones) why either Eisenhower, Taft, Dewey, Truman, or anyone else should be the best candidate for the presidency of the United States?
Perhaps you can, but the average University student only replies, "Oh, Eisenhower's from my home town," or I don't like Taft's looks," or "Dewey's done for." After the Republican convention makes its final selection, all theories will be based on one meaningless symbol—"He's a Republican" or "He's a Democrat."
What this University needs is a good lively required course in current affairs. Students are woefully ignorant of the world spreading out from the base of the hill. Back in grade school we had a current events session every Friday. Each student clipped an item from a newspaper and brought it to school to discuss it. Some of us were sluggards, and others did the task consciously. At times we could even tell our parents a thing or two about what was going on in the world.
All of this ignorance isn't to be blamed on the student. You have to have time, or else a compelling reason to read a newspaper, a magazine, or a good critical book. Students think, and rightly, that classes and text assignments come first; but time should be made for both.
I have a letter from Germany, in which the writer rejoices in the privileges of a library which she "is able to reach in half an hour by train." And we pick up the paper
from the front porch and glance at what Dick Tracy is doing today before we go to class. Newspaper headline-readers don't get the whole story. If you glanced at a headline about the French M.R.P., would you know for sure even what the initials stood for?
The Nazis had a Weltansicht—a world view. But their world view was one of domination. The "future citizens" of the world, must take the lead in developing a new kind of Weltansicht—one of understanding based on knowledge.—Lois Lauer.
Commenting on the necessity for the English proficiency exam, an English instructor remarked recently that one student got clear to the medical school in Kansas City before the proficiency results caught up with him. He had misspelled the word "medicine" all through his test themes.
The United States government has decided it is about time to do something about the substantial growth of the Indian population and the small size of the Indian reservations. Now is the time for Indians to ask the government "How?"
Those who refuse to sympathize with Germany's plight might consider that German youngsters raid G.I. garbage trucks for edibles, and Berlin elders steal the coffins of 18th century Prussian officers to get kindling wood.
San Francisco recently voted to retain its rickety but traditional cable cars. Would Lawrence vote to retain its rickety but traditional brick sidewalks and streets?
