Letters to the Editor
The Editor:
After spending a nightmarish week, a plan has come to mind which, I think, has possibilities of eliminating the more repulsive characteristics of final examination week . . .
First of all, this plan calls for an examination at least once a week (not necessarily on Friday) comprehensive in nature, and covering the week's work. In the case of laboratory courses, the laboratory and lecture work would be included in a single examination. For two and three hour courses an exam at the end of every second week would seem advisable. "Shotguns" would be left to the discretion of the instructor.
At midsemester time. a student who is failing or on the borderline would be notified of his status. In such cases, the instructor should offer a comprehensive makeup exam covering the entire work of the course to date, but by no means should the exam be compulsory. Moreover, the weight of the midsemester makeup in the student's grade should also be left to the discretion of the instructor.
At the close of the semester, students still failing would be offered a final examination covering the entire term's work. In addition, the examination should be open to all other students having passing grades, but desiring to increase their average. . .
If this letter only stirs up some feeling for a change in the present setup, it will have served its purpose. I do hope, however that such a plan will be considered in part or whole for what it is worth by both the student governing bodies and the administrative faculty. Bud Lampert.
CAREER WOMEN----
(continued from page six)
have no children under 14 years of age. The WAVE must pass the physical and aptitude test, have no children under 18, may be married but not to a man in the armed service.
After the training period, the WAVE may marry anyone but a navy man and still remain in the Naval Reserve.
Then there is always the domestic woman who takes home economics which again brings to mind the unavoidable fact—no men. Perhaps that's the reason for the women going to work.
"Tain't so," shell object. "I'd be a career woman, anyway."
No Trap Yap to Help Jap
Some of our quick -thinking doughbies have paraphrased that popular expression of the day to: "It's a millinery secret. Got to keep it under my hat."
