Students Better in Courses Liked Survey Indicates
Knowledge. Appreciation and Study Organization First Requisites of Teachers
Students make good grade in Doe courses which they rated highly, according to F. I. Orienis, director, research, who has just completed a summary of the statements which students are naive about "the best college teacher that I have ever had." The answers represented a total of 957 students enriched by presenting 25 schools or departments in the University. Of these students 70 per cent were upperclassmen or graduate students were freshmen or sophomores.
"The best college instructor as reported by 83 per cent of the students was teaching at K, U," the report says. The courses which such indepedent departments were designated for the 24 departments of the 24 departments or schools in which these students were enrolled, but the frequency with which different departments were designated for these students made good grades in courses which they rated highly, as three-fourths of the grades which they received were "a B" or "better teacher" were A* or B*. Yet more than 200 students (25 per cent) made lower grades than a B in the courses taught by what they regarded as "better teachers" were courses taught by these best teachers were not considered easy is indicated by the fact that 45 per cent of the students regarded them as difficult and 53 per cent as "rather difficult."
Knowledge Primary Requisite
The trait of foremost importance according to their judgment was that the best teacher "seemed to have a more complete knowledge of his subject than other teachers." The best teacher was also the appeal of his personality. Two other traits which stood equally high in their estimation were expressed as follows: "He appreciated individual media and gave individual encouragement." This was because his course so that it invited initiative and co-aurcured originality.
"In the analysis of personality four factors seem most to distinguish the type of teacher whom the students regarded the best during their career; (1) intellectual keenness, (2) interest in subject taught, (3) a sense of humor, and (4) fairness of attitude. The factors which they regarded as least important were manor and 'being well-arranged'."
Most Stimulate Thinking
Two requirements in students' opinion surpass all others with reference to how a college professor should function. First he must "stimulate constructive thinking," and secondly, he must be able to investigate and study." In their opinion he will usually offer a rather definitely outlined course with fairly definite assignments. The method of instruction nearest to the ideal will be discussion in the classroom—or on the problems or context studied.
The least acceptable method of instruction is "lectures by the instructor."
Practically all here are in full agreement with the outcome of a similar inquiry made a year earlier, but involves only four students. Mr. O'Brien said. The tabulation of the information reported by these students was made by the bureau of school service departments which planned and conducted this investigation, with the counsel and activist of several faculty members, including the Klingberg, Josephine Hildebran, Peard, Elizabeth Ball, Stanley Stackdard, Cloe Wilex, Gertrude Searey Dorothy Gregg and Austin Van die

Business Students Free to Cut Classes Stockton Announce
Mid-Semester Grade Reports to be Discontinued
In School
Mid-summer reports and student
excuse cards have been discontinued
as needless formalities for those en-
gaged with the course. Powell
Powell T. Stockton announced today.
"In addition to this, students entering the School of Business must have a C average, which means that he is required to take at least 60% of each. Each student is placed on his own responsibility for progress in his work and for attendance in the same way that he will be required to be responsible for himself when he enters upon him."
The regulations of other divisions of the University as to mid-member reports and excusing absences are carefully observed, however, so far non-business students in economics are required to have a degree of Business relation only to those students who are specifically enrolled as candidates for its degree.
“This department does not desire to be hounding advanced and specialized students, but a school is a roll taken, except to observe the correlation between grades and absences. The important thing is that it is made up not that it is excused or unexcused. Experience with both policies should complete the sociopersonal results.”
Regarding the abandoning of these features Dean Stockton said, "Since enrollment in the hospital who have a professional interest in their courses it has seemed an unnecessary formality to take work at the end of the first nine weeks."

Paris Police Ban Kissing in Taxis but Naughty Lawrence Allows Such Sport
"For a kiss in the park
Or a kiss in the dark
The wonderful rose pub
The watchful cop can nab;
But as long as you're there
And you pay up your fare
And you pay up your fare
You can kiss in a taxicab!
So say Lawrence police officials,
so says every taxicab owner in Law-
rence; so say they all.
"It mighty hard to believe, but it's nevertheless a fact that Burris never kissed in town. Even in the stalid old city of Boston, no such rule has ever crept upon the books," says the Roon-city police力。
We had to find out about Lawrence. Chief Will Johns, of the Lawrence police force, laughs and says, "Why, they can do all the kissing they want in taxicabs, as far as Tom is concerned," but the area of motoring and love-making that don't mix. One armed driving is taboo.
But back to kissing in taxicabs. We discover to our great amazement that
Can it be possible then—possible that while police in the world's greatest whoopee city, Paris, are doing all they can to stop nixing killings standing by and permitting it? Can it be possible? Our only answer is that Lawrence must not be so bad at whoopee herself!
taxicases are still popular with the amorous—even in Lawrence. "There's kissing a q-plenty in taxicabs, all right!" says Mrs. Emmy Guffin, of New York. "The drivers often have to be pretty good at being 'deaf,' dumb, and blind." "guess people that hire our cabs are privileged to do 'most everything they want.' And she adds that the drivers are not told to tell of their experiences, too.
And here's another startling statement from a Lawrence taxi man, a member of the Hunsinger force. That it's "unchical to tell takes" is his declaration that he "lives in a town that moves anyone anywhere he wishes. That all is there [is 60] kill."
Modern Business Requires Culture, Says Dean Amos
Prominent Alumna Reveals
Status of College Man
In Present Day
Business
"Habits can destroy us as well as make us," she said, "and in order to develop good habits we must have the habit of getting a vision of what we want to be, what kind of a person we want to accomplish this," she continued.
"Business men today are seeking gentlemen as well as skilled workers and area leaders of personality," Miss Tressa W. Amoas, B. A, 17'g, 17'p, member of the American Association of Donna Wilson, of the University of Pittsburgh, stressed in her address at convocation this morning on October 24 "Does College Make a difference?"
College Student Criticized
Business men have severe criticisms to make against college graduates entering the business world. The greatest objection offered by them is that students have not been advanced than possible. "College students have been in the habit of gaining marks and credits with this course, but they have been allowed to 'slide through.'"
"They have developed luxurious tastes during their life as undergraduates which demand larger salaries and higher pay when they get out of school," she said.
College students often acquire debts and become engaged or married before being graduated creating another cause for their spirit."
Want too many privileges?
"Too many privileges are asked by college teachers to continue Mimosa. The fact that they want to get off work for so many social affairs, might be due to the cut of benefits, or the need to ted." "They are in the habit of leaning on the other fellow, and take advantage of the privileges offered in the honor system of their former colleges," a senior graduate is afraid of hard work."
Statistics show, she stated, that men in the lower third of their class have only one chance in 22 of making a high grade salary in their chosen profession. That men commanding good students is a proven fact. She said.
**Quote:** Max McCann
