Teacher's Obligation Is to His Students
(Editor's note: The following editorial was submitted by a V-12, leaving the campus today, who asked that it be printed because it reflected not only his own views, but those of his friends. The Daily Kansan, in complying with the wishes of service men, does not necessarily endorse the opinions expressed in the editorial.)
Have you ever had a tremendous ambition and suddenly found it dead? Or have you ever been indifferent to a subject or field and surdenly realized that you were tremendously interested and wanted to find out all about it? Just what causes these rapid changes in your outlook?
When you are in constant contact with—say mathematics—you either develop a hatred for it or decide to be friends with it. As a general rule the book, the teacher, or some other individual has a lot to do with it. Disregarding the possibility of the book being interesting—they very seldom are—you have left only the professor or some person you deem your ideal. As most college students are having too much fun attending to their social lives, they do not have time to pick out an ideal and keep up with him. This, therefore, leaves only the teacher.
The teacher can make the course rough, easy, interesting, or any way they wish. In order to keep up the standards of the school, the teacher should make his course seem simple and at the same time engrossing, by giving good lectures.
Just why is a teacher given a contract and paid a salary? Some, or should I say most, of the teachers seem to think that they are obligated only to meet the call, call roll, keep some sort of dry bull going until time to dismiss class, and spring

This seems to be the week of furloughs, leaves, or whatever you call 'em. We've seen around the campus, Stanley Nelson, Beta, in the Marines; all the boys from Oberlin V-12 Unit, Jimmy Boyce, Maurice Beardmore, Danny Bachmann, Paul Turner, Charles Peake, Charles Gilliland, Warren Bowman, Buzzie Robbins, Harlan Cope, and Gene Fiser. Bud Harriman was reported to be on his way.
Janet Marvin, Gamma Phi, and editor of the Jayhawker magazine, hit a snag some time ago. Janet wanted to publish a story complete
a quiz occasionally. Some teachers even enjoy seeing how many students they can bust, and they try to beat their record each year.
The teacher should be judged by the quality of work he puts out. And what better place is there to find out about a teacher's success than from the students themselves? Therefore, the teacher who flunks a large percentage of his students has failed miserably, for he could not put his course across adequately enough for his students to grasp it.
How long can you remember technical things of minor importance? If you are normal, you will forget it in a short while. Your education is not judged by what you know, but whether or not you know where to find the answer. No one can remember all that has been learned to date, but it is not so extremely difficult to be able to find the information you desire. Why then, do professors insist on their students knowing the minor points and forget the general, broad scope of the course?

with pictures on a typical "War Widow" or, to be specific, a gal whose man is away in the armed services. "But," complains Janet, "the minute I get a girl, get the pictures, and the story on how true she's being, the magazine will come out and the next night she'll go out! I can't win."

The Army Hour scheduled for Friday night promises to be quite an affair. Joe McClurg is directing the play, and after his association with one "Footsie" Marcus this summer, one realizes it can't be dull. Stan Hagler, if he's in usual form, ought to carry off the master of ceremonies role to perfection. Anyway, they claim their band is good. * * *
After the Navy Day parade, the girls are convinced that there's no shortage of men at K. U. at least. The only shortage that worries them is the shortage of nights of liberty.

Glenn Pettis, ASTP, is reported to have had a slight case of infantile paralysis. If he's discharged, we'll be losing one of the handsomest ASTP's. Wasn't that what he said? Hm-m, several girls, too.
If Phil Butler, Sigma Chi of Washington State, doesn't go home over his leave, we'll believe that he has at last succumbed to the charm of the Kansas girls. One, at least. What about it, Phil?

The boys from K. U. stationed in the East come back to tell us that the Easterners actually believe we have wild Indians out here. "We just tell them," says one boy, "that they have an uprising once in $ r $
In the semi-finals for the women's tennis singles tournament, Corbin hall, IWW, Chi Omega, and Kappa Alpha Theta each have three girls entered. These matches must be played off by Nov. 1.

while and kill a few people but nothing to get excited about."
When the Chi Omega's all kissed Danny Bachmann as a part of the engagement ceremony last week, Bachmann gasped. "Just wait till I tell the boys back at Oberlin that I kissed 49 girls in four minutes. They'll never believe me!"
IS SATURDAY ALRIGHT?
OF COURSE!—Adv.

They BOTH have a stake in their Electric Company!
Paul Packard owns some stock in the local light and power company. Jimmy, the newsboy, never bought a share of stock in his life. But he has a stake in the electric company too because Jimmy's bank invests his small savings in just such businesses. Your savings bank your life insurance company, your fraternal order probably put some of your money into electric securities. In a very real sense, the electric light and power companies were built by the same people they serve. For in them are savings of 45 million bank depositors and 66 million insurance policyholders your savings invested in American business and carefully managed by experienced business men for you and for America.
