TUESDAY, MAY 17, 1932 EXPOSED Men have enjoyed many heart- side-splitting laughs at women's intramural sports. There are in- variably a few amused male sup- porters at every game. They are always unkind enough to maintain, whatever the sport, that it was a good comedy. All this was reversed last weeks at the sorority relay. If the runners could have seen themselves as others saw them, they probably would not have participated. It was done in a spirit of gallanty, but that did not lend dignity to the performance. Even if the men have been shown up as awkward, lets have more intramural sports and security relays. They are a saving on picture show admissions, and the event is beneficial, what there is of it. SUMMER-TIME EMPLOYMENT Thirteen high school seniors, who have been granted Summerfield scholarships this spring, will have an opportunity to gain an education without the necessity of facing many of the battles that other students have to go through. These high school graduates are to be congratulated. Their school days will be free from financial worries; therefore it might be well to offer all Summerfield scholars a course in letter writing, in order that they will not be handicapped later in competition with students who have had to write many earnest, pleading letters to father asking for money. The end of the semester is drawing near, and for the seniors it means graduation with the result ant walking up and down the streets in search of a job. But the rest of us, who are fortunate or unfortunate enough to have another year or so at the University, what shall we do this summer? Employment is very hard to find. Of course the most of us can and will go home and live on the "oid man" for another summer. Some of us might go to summer school, but there is neither fun nor sufficient incentive to warrant this course. Perhaps the best investment that can be made this summer by undergraduates is that of travel. But this brings up the question of financing the trip. No one should go who cannot be sufficiently assured of some means of support, but no one should stay at home who is assured of the minimum required. Travel is perhaps the easiest and certainly the best method by which one can learn of conditions and circumstances of varying sections of the country. A roughing travel into the Rockies or to the White mountains of Vermont or into the Thousand Lakes country of northern Minnesota, or a tour of the Pacific or Atlantic or Southern sea coasts, would do more to enlarge one's education and to furnish a background for future knowledge than any other summer activity. It is worth thinking about, and especially in these periods of depression when jobs will be very scarce for summer time work. THE SAME OLD QUESTION Students and instructors are now faced with the same old question of final examinations. Students, of course, believe that the final examination is superfluous. Most instructors, following the will of the administrative body, believe that the final examination is an essential part of the curriculum. We, being students, believe that the final examination is just another headache. After all, the instructor, if he has conducted his course in an intelligent manner should know just about how much the student has learned in the course. Why then should we have a final? In one course that we are talking, the final will determine our grade. The instructor has lectured all semester and has given no examinations. The students must spend time in cramming, so a presentable mark can be made in the final and only attempt. Some schools have adopted a series of examinations to take the place of the final. Students are quizzed over the work as they go along in the course. This is a stride forward from English. We will not follow the English system of teaching, so why should we follow their system in examining the student. The greatest argument put forward against the use of finals is that the slacker can cram up on facts at the end of the semester and make as good a grade as the student who has worked all year. Something in it; but we do feel that a better means could be found for determining the intelligence of students. The final examination is not only hard on the health of the student, but puts an extra burden on the instructor who gives the We are ni flavor of a series of examinations. After all, it is impossible to conceive that a student can put down in three hours all that he has learned in the course of eighteen weeks of school. ADVERTISING The contemplating sophomore wishes he could attend classes like the Democrats attended their con- ference to more @300 or $300 Whoopee!" The sight of a huge passenger bus equipped with voice amplifying equipment is impressive. Many manufacturers paint the buses in gaudy colors and set them running about the country side to advertise the manufacturer's products. The mammoth dread of the average motorist. He instinctively prepares to give at least two-thirds of the highway to them and often gets in the strangled parade which fills up behind the bus, as it makes a leisurely trip down main street. Thus, the bus calls attention to the product advertised in so many manner that those cars are the most popular. So far, no one has devised a better media for advertising than the newspaper. A NEW AMENDMENT OFFERED An old problem in the American governmental system which was thoroughly threshed out in the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 has been brought up again by Senator Logan of Kentucky. The Senator has introduced an amendment which would provide a seven-year term for the president and vice-president, with each ineligible to succeed himself. This question received considerable attention during the framing of the Constitution. There were many who believed in a longer term of office for the president. These were the aristocratic-minded men who distrusted the ability of the people to use their voting power intelligently. There were still more, however, who feared the rise of a powerful executive who would continue in office until the Constitution would be torn down and all that the Revolutionary War stood for would be nullified. The latter favored a shorter term, with eligibility for re-election. In this way, they argued, a competent executive could guide the destinies of the country for a longer term by reelection by the people, and, at the same time, an incompetent one Weekly meeting will be held in room D.

THETA EPSILON: could be removed midway by the will of the people and without the cumbersome process of impairment. The adherents of the former system were led by Alexander Hamilton, while those who favored a shorter term of office were championed by Thomas Jefferson. The fathers of the American Constitution were intelligent, thorough men. With no precedents in Democratic government to guide them, they did a remarkably thorough job. Of course the progress of government and society makes a great many changes necessary, but there is no evidence yet that the Constitution has grown inadequate as far as the four-year term of the president is concerned, or that the framers of the Constitution did not go completely to the heart of the question in their settlement. There is little probability that the amendment of Senator Logan will ever be ratified by the required number of states. The people of the United States have seen several instances where seven years without a change of executives would have been far too long. There is, besides a tendency to have faith in the judgment of those brilliant men at the Philadelphia Convention unless there is overwhelming evidence that *a change is needed.* Twenty-seven leading eastern colleges and universities have ruled out college education in common on the action. Professor Albert Becker Crawford of the department of personnel study at Yale University stated, "Pedding on sympathy is definitely harmful to the college's student moral sense." He continued by describing such a practice as bugging. Magazine subscription agents and peddlers have capitalized upon the familiar college student gag, "Madame, I am working my way through college. Will you please help me by buying that?" Such agents and peddlers have made themselves a general nuisance for students against the working college student. Begging by college students is certainly to be deplored. If a student cannot see his way clear financially through four years of college without resorting to begging, he is not justified in seeking THELMA WILCOX, President. Our Contemporaries BEGGING STUDENTS Even though the depression has tended to learn one's chances of employment while attending college, there are still available many honest and retiring teachers in an education without being compelled to stoop to the sympathy racket. It is hoped that other universities will take similar steps to eliminate the college wagerage laws. Students must store the university to public favor. —Ohio State Lantern. A SOCIAL BALANCE It is the great band of "C" students who run the University. This opinion, commonly expressed by college professors and students, has recently been championed by a faculty member from the University of Washington. The results of a survey conducted there reveal that many "A" students are regarded as franks, and as lacking in personality. This is not surprising, nor should it be alarming. Undegraded students who aim and strive for the highest grades are often these interested in learning for more than just a year; they know so abounding that they concentrate their efforts and time in their studies and discussion. After graduation these people continue in the ranks of education, and are less interested in economic interest, expecting for study. Many “C” students, on the other hand, are of equal ability, but are doers rather than reflectors. They direct their encretes into extra-curricular activities, gaining satisfaction from management activities and motivation, it is only a step for them to become occupied with corresponding types of activity in the outside world. They become the business men, executives, planners. Their experience has helped them to get along successfully with others and get from then what they want. We do not by this imply any disagreements of the first type of individual. Both groups are essential to a well-balanced society and without each other, it is impossible for both to perform thing for each individual is to determine which type he is, and then engage himself along the lines to which he is most apt, meanwhile so adjust-ment will be necessary in any particular interest into becoming "top-sided."
