PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE. KANSAS FRIDAY. DECEMBER 1938 Kansan Comment Education Has No Part In Students' Ideal College To those who have somewhat unsophisticatedly assumed that college students desire an education, the report of Dr. Julian L. Woodward, sociologist at Cornell University, may come as a distinct shock. Doctor Woodward, after extensive research, lists five driving forces which are paramount in the life of the college student. They are: (1) a drive for prestige; (2) a need to release tremendous energy by doing things and going places; (3) a wish to achieve independence from home and be recognized as an adult; (4) a desire for social relationships with the other sex; and (5) a planning for adult life. A male student's prestige, according to Doctor Woodward, is measured by "which fraternity he belongs to; his campus offices and the teams he makes; his 'smoothness' — a compound of clothes, a car, and 'line'; and farther down the list, his grades, more as an index of intelligence than of culture." The prestige of a woman student is judged "first by sorcery; then by 'date rating'—a compound of the ability to be invited out frequently and the prestige of the men who date her—then by college activities; and finally by grades." The students' ideal college, it is apparent from this survey, would be slightly different than the educators.' The handbook of courses would be replaced by a rate-book of the Greek houses, "Smoothness" and "Date-ability" would be popular new courses. Rhetoric teachers would take up the grammar of "lines," and perhaps an aesthetic course in the "Proper Appreciation of New and Old Lines" would be offered. Grades would not be abolished—such a radical step would be out of the question—but they would be grades of prestige rather than apple-polishing. Activities would, of course, be numerous. Two or three football games would be played every day—to allow the students to release their tremendous energy in tearing down goal posts. The University paper would have little room for news other than the announcements of club and society meetings. Those who attend the most clubs in a given week would be placed on the honor roll. But as usual there is a catch to this utopia. A college is still supposed to educate its students, and such a glorified finishing school could scarcely be called an "educational" institution as we now define the word. Both the educational system and students are to be blamed for this student concept of an ideal college: The students, for not being interested in being educated; and the system, for not making the students want to get an education. The system rests under the greater indictment: If the goals set up by a formal education were made more desirable, more significant in relation to life, students might make the wish to achieve a real education one of their "fundamental driving forces," also. Prevention, Correction Must Supplant Punishment Alone A perusal of the front page of yesterday's nearby metropolitan papers might lead one to utter glumty comments upon what appears to be a youthful "crime wave." Only three of the eight columns of one of them did not carry some account of youthful escapes. Benny Dickson, in his 20's, and his 16-year-old wife, hold the spotlight with their daring escapes. Benny was sent to the state reformatory for a minor slip when he was a boy. He was graduated from there a first rate criminal. Now, of course, with several states and the Federal Bureau of Investigation after him he can only hope to be taken alive and is then faced with years behind bars. Is his "badness" entirely due to his own "cussedness?" In France, Herschel Grynszpan is reported to have said that he had wanted only to wound Vom Rath, the German diplomat whom he killed. This boy will be punished for a crime which millions of people in their hearts would have liked to perpetrate. His crime, had it been committed as part of a conflict between two societies, would have made Herschel a military hero instead of a murderer. Crime waves are non-existent, of course, but the number of sensational crimes recently committed emphasises the responsibility that college students must face someday. Although college trained persons as a class are not involved in crimes of violence as frequently as their less educated brethren, the fact that crime costs the citizens of this country enormous amounts a year warrants serious thought. Neither an attitude of revenge nor one of sanctimonious piety is conducive to formulating adequate solutions. A universal desire to prevent crimes and to correct law violators must replace advocacy of punishment and incarceration alone, if the problem is to be worked out successfully. Military Defense of Canal Presents U. S. Problem Recommendation of a more adequate defense system for the Panama Canal was made recently in the annual report of Secretary of War Woodding. The report brings to the minds of many Americans for the first time the significance of this link between the Atlantic and the Pacific in relation to the single fleet national defense program. Perhaps the picture of German guns surrounding England's Gibraltar has added emphasis to Woodding's plea to make this channel "impregnable." Woodring recommended that air forces and anti-aircraft installations in the zone be augmented, that all glams and locks be made bombproof, and that the possibility of sabotage by crews of ships passing through the canal be eliminated. At present, the army has in the region a force of about 13,000 men, manning permanent fortifications which bristle with long-range guns, mobile artillery, and anti-aircraft guns. At France field on the Atlantic, and Albrook field on the Pacific, the army keeps several scores of fighting planes, while the navy has three squadrons of long range patrol bombers and six submarines at Coco Palo. In case of war, however, the defenders of the canal zone might be put in a precarious position under existing conditions, according to Woodring; and the loss of this channel would be much more costly than the expense of adequate defense. Just about everybody's picture has appeared on a postage stamp except the Forgotten Man's. -Kansas City Kansan.
