He emphasized the art of pulling instead of getting "pull" to the attaining of success. Additional high-lights were: help others and forget yourself; cooperation is the essence of sports and life; play the game with your teammates to the best interests of the team and let the credit fall where it may: and lean into the harness heaviest when the load is the heaviest.

The program is arranged as follows: Studemt Council Plans For “B” Cheerleaders The Student Council, at its May 2 meeting, voted to launch a new policy next fall in the area of cheerleading. In addition to the regular cheerleaders who are elected in the spring of the year to lead cheers at the "A" team sports events of the following school year, four cheerleaders will be elected from among the freshmen. It will be their responsibility to lead cheers at the "B” games. The freshmen cheerleaders will be nominated and elected by their own class early in the fall, perhaps at one of their orientation periods. Two boys and two girls will be chosen. The Council feels that the new policy will give freshmen an opportunity to participate more actively in the pep functions and will provide support and recognition of our “B" teams. The set-up can serve to provide a training "course" for freshmen pep enthusiasts and encourage them to try-out for varsity cheerleading in later years; however, there would be no automatic carryover from "B" team cheerleading to the varsity squad. Girls Visit Water Works By Alice Flory Do you realize how lucky you are to live in McPherson? Last Thursday the members of Doris Coppock's Health class visited the city water works. There wasn’t much to see because the water is taken directly from four wells scattered over town. Since we are that fortunate, the water does not have to be purified. McPherson has the largest per capita output of water of any city in Kansas, and the rate is lower than any other city in this state. McPherson citizens pay eight cents a ton for their water. Lust Monday thirteen students and Dr. Mohler headed North from McPherson for their annual geol ogy trip. The students were Howard Fulkerson, Max McAuley, Syl-vus Flora, Jim Scruggs, Beryl McCann, Arlene Mohler, Lois Yoder, Betty Ann Murrey, Albert Guyer, Irwin Porter, Gerald Neher, Don Stevens, and Duane Jamison. The first stop was at the volcanic ash pits six miles North of McPherson. The next stop was at Coronado Hights, and then on to the Indian burial pits East of Sa-lina. Other stops were at Iron mountain North of Salina, Rock City which is Southwest of Minneapolis, and the pottery works at Ellsworth. While in Brookville they saw two rock collections of citizens there. At the edge of Brookville they hunted for a form of gypsum known as cellonite-crys-tals. They also went to a canyon, where they studied geology in the forms of plant life. The other two stops were at Mushroom Rocks near Canerio, and the Kanopolis territory, where many interesting geological specimens were found. I The Winds in the South—J.

Stassen Queries India's Nehru "Which side are you on?” Americans, who by nature and experience think of only two sides in any contest, ask this question of Nehru, leader of the people of India. After a recent conference with the enigmatic prime minister, Harold Stassen, in the May issue of LADIES' HOME JOURNAL, gives his impression of Nehru —Man in the Middle. Now sixty-one years of age. Nehru was imprisoned on nine different occasions for a total of eight years and fifty-one weeks for his work in the Indian campaign for independence from Great Britain. During these years. Nehru was strongly attracted to the Soviet Union and Communism as it was practiced there. After noting the developments in the Balkans after World War II, however, and observing the violent and subversive role of the Communist Party in India and other Asiatic countries, Nehru was fully disillusioned. "During my visit to New Delhi.” says Mr. Stassen, "I found him to be not only thoroughly alert to the evils of Russian Communist imperialism, but fully aware that a campaign of passive resistance would be ruthlessly crushed by Russian Communism. He well knew that passive resistance could be effective only against a nation such as the British, an nation with a moral code and a restraining public opinion. It is clear, therefore, that he, and India with him, intends to resist—actively and effectively— all Communist threats from within or without.” Five of the most acute problems of Nehru's India are represented by these five words: land, water, babies, cows and capital. In the solving of these problems, much depends on the future relationship between India and America. "I strongly believe.” concluded Mr. Stassen, "that if we in America once realize that Nehru and his country are and will be neither close friends to us nor distant opponents, neither an echo of America nor a voice of Moscow, and then develop a policy toward them that accords full recognition of their third position, tremendous good will result for the people of both countries” 11 Of 12 Found Superstitious |
Twelve students at Ventura Junior College, Cal., were polled recently by the Ventura Pirate Press on the general topic of superstitions. It was found that 11 of them had at least one supersitition, covering a wide range of subjects. Here are some of the students' pet superstitions: Knocking on wood for good luck: breaking mirrors—"by looking in them;" the color green; walking under ladders. Many students, it was pointed out, seem to "show a predominant fear of females." Comments were: "Stay away from women . . I'm scared of cats with long blond hair and sharp claws . . . I'm not super-stitious, except for girls . . I have: a superstition against kissing a girl before the first date." One student remarked, justifi-ably, that he was superstitious about “going 90 miles an hour on winding roads." And the only dissenter commented scornfully. "Superstition went out with pantalettes." Perhaps the most all-inclusive superstition was this one: "I'm superstitious of anyone who is superstitious." Rec. Council Plan Outing, Breakfast The members of Recreational Council are planning to hold their next meeting out-of-doors. They will meet at the Industrial Arts building at 5:00 p. m. and hike into the country where they will cook their own suppers. The group is to invite a friend or guest. They are to break up Into couples and prepare their own meal. Recreational Council is a group of students, directed by Professor Samuel Doll, who are interested in recreational activities. During the year opportunity is given each member to lead recreation, singing and to direct discussion. The Council is like any other campus activity. They have their dues and officers. The officers this year included: Byron Frantz, president, Marilee Grove, secretary-treasurer, and Bill Daggett, member of steering committee. At the last meeting the group decided to elect next year's officers at the meeting on May 21. They also decided to elect a Publicity Chairman at this election. The duties of the new officer will be to publicize the council's activities notify the members of the meetings and be the third member of Steering Committee * Certificates of membership will be given at this mooting. On Sunday. May 20, the group will have early-morning breakfast. The Seniors of the Council will plan the meal and serve it to the group. 200 Enter Play Day Activities Approximately 200 students participated actively in the annual all-school play day sponsored by the recreational leadership class last Friday afternoon. In the inter-class competition the freshmen came out on top with the honor of holding the trophy for one year. Should any class be able to win the trophy for three consecutive years, they will be entitled to keep the trophy permanently. Before the skits in the evening the score stood: sophomores. 117 1/2%: freshmen. 103 1/2%; juniors 103: and seniors 46. A first place in their skit placed the freshmen in first place with a grand total of 128 points. The sophomores and Juniors trailed close behind for second and third places with 1171/2 and 113 respectively. A second place in the skits added 15 points to dragging senior score. |
No. 29 Profs Oppose “Oath” Bill in Iowa Senate Grinnell, la. (I. P. )-- The Grin-nell College chapter of the American Association of University Professors recently went on record as opposing the proposed legislation embodied in the Iowa Senate File 384. more commonly known as the "anti-subversive bill." In a letter to Senator Wilbur Mollson, the Grinnell association members commented. “In such legislation as that promised by S. F. 381 it is assumed that special advance precautions must be taken to keep certain classes of citizens from violating laws which already exist. This is equivalent to assumption of guilt before trial, and hence a reversal of a fundamental constitutional principle. “It is difficult to understand why this indignity should be meted out to our public servants or why, if this bill were to be law, . good men and women would be willing to enter a profession that has been singled out for this kind of suspicion." Citing the example of the University of California's experience with the enactment of similar legislation, the Grinnell writers pointed out, "The prestige of the University has suffered and that Institution is losing many of its most distinguished—and loyal— scholars. On the other hand, the legislation uncovered only an infinitesimal number of Instances of subversive activities. Out of a faculty of thousands, only three or four people were ultimately considered dangerous. These. of course, had signed without any qualms the required 'loyalty oath.' "There is no reason to assume that anyone whoso purpose is to undermine or overthrow our re-publican form of government would hesitate to add perjury to the means by which he set about achieving that end.” The group added. "The bill (S. F. 384) under consideration proposes legislation in that, delicate area of thought-control which is the happy hunting ground of just those elements and governments whose influence the bill seeks to combat." _ Alias Jack The Snipper There's a photographer "operating" on campuses in the south who has a unique way of taking pictures, His subjects aren't too fond of his methods. If a notice posted in a women's dormitory at a southern university is any proof. The notice said: "It has come to our attention that a psuedo-photographer is operating on different college and university campuses in the Southern area. He Is reported to follow this procedure: "He calls the coed by phone, usually by name, stating that he is a professional photographer taking pictures for magazine covers and stating that the coed has been referred to him by one of her friends; he then makes an appointment with the coed, takes a few pictures, and then (without the knowledge or consent of the coed) cuts off large chunks of hair from the back of their head. " This individual only operates on girls with long hair, shoulder length or longer. There is reason to believe that the individual may be going from school to school." Thanks For Play Day I wish to thank all those who helped to make Play Day a success. The recreational leadership class did a splendid job of publicity, general planning, refreshments, and cleanup. I wish to thank all the faculty members who participated in officiating and were on band to add support to the student’s fun. A word of thanks goes to Mrs. Slifer and her staff for their cooperation and assistance in the cafeteria. I', sure we all had a good time together. Dick Wareham |

P.)— Proposed by the Junior and Senior classes at Elmira College, the two current events programs are now under consideration by the Committee on Curriculum and Instruction. The two propositions follow: A. 1. That the entire student body take monthly Current Events tests, that the tests be (a) compulsory; (b) voluntary. 2. That the tests he objective; and moreover, that they should be indicative of the student’s general knowledge of current affairs. 3. That immediately following the tests, members of the faculty: of the Social Science Department help us evaluate what we have read and been tested on and lead the students in an open forum or discussion. (a) That before the testing program begins, the students be instructed in how to go about reading newspapers or news-magazines, what sources can be relied on for objective information, and how to assimilate the information obtained. 4. That the students paper he: (a) Marked and posted In a conspicuous place in the college; (b) Marked and returned to the student personally. 5. A time and place suggested for the tests and discussions is; Thursday morning during the 11 and 12 hour in the Chapel. B. A weekly discussion group, with a member, of the faculty present to aid us in our pursuit of an overall interpretation of current events, is to be held. If the group proves to be too large it could be split into several sections which could meet at different hours, thereby avoiding class conflicts. At the beginning of the week there would be placed in each mail box the titles of several topics, which would be under discussions at these weekly meetings. These topics can be made by the faculty members who would he guided by student preference. The purpose of the meetings would be to seek an overall interpretation of the things which lie behind the facts. Joyce Booby Loper, sister of Donna Sooby, is here visiting on Macampus.

Education Called Thin And Superficial Burlington. Vt. —(I. P. )—A basic criticism which is often directed against the various programs of general education offered by institutions of higher education in this country is that they are thin and superficial, declares Dr. William S. Carlson, president of the University of Vermont. In a letter to the faculty. President Carlson states. ’ The Justice of this criticism as It applies to many ill-conceived programs of genera! education cannot he gainsaid. ’Anyone who seriously pro-pones to survey the map of knowledge in a half a dozen courses merely betrays his own educational naivete. He will succeed either in totally confusing the student or in replacing an honest sense of ignorance with the delusion of knowledge. ’’And yet though this danger of lapsing into superficiality is everpresent. one must admit, I think, that it is not necessarily intrinsic to every program of general education as such. I, at least, am convinced that it is possible to steer a middle course between an intense but narrow over-specialization on the one hand and the shallow, impressionistic, survey course on the other hand. "I do not claim that the pedagogical task is an easy one or that it can be carried through without the devoted efforts of teachers who are dedicated to the idea. On the contrary, such a program calls for the highest order of inspired teaching. And let us not forget that it is not merely general education which must carefully select its materials but that all formal education is inevitably selective. “There is no time to teach everything about anything. There is i an endless series of things to know, and a general education program is neither a merely random sample drawn from the infinity of knowables nor is it an attempt to survey them all in ten easy lessons. “In the last analysis, if we are to be honest with ourselves, we should have to admit that the university cannot really educate anyone: it can merely provide and arrange fuel and must patiently hope that the spark which lies within the breast of every student will ignite the fuel and grow into a flame." |

Teachers Learn From Managers
Evansville, Ind.—(I. P.) A' brand new experiment in education. In which top industrial management officials are teachers and college professors are students, is being conducted in this city. It started at 8 o’clock one Saturday morning last December, when ten members of the business and economics faculty of Evansville arrived at the offices of the Hoosier Cardinal Corporation.
Carefully planned in advance, the session lasted until 12:30 p. m.. with professors comparing what they teach with practice at Hoosier Cardinal. The idea for "meeting with management" originated about a year ago with Prof. Paul R. Busey, head of the business and economics department at Evansville College. Simply, the idea is this: The college can do a
better job of teaching If its faculty is armed with the facts about local business. And the best place to get the facts about any business is from the management of that business.
In their first meeting with executives of the Hoosier Cardinal company. purposes of the company, its history, organisation and general problems were outlined to the vis-
iting members of the faculty. Then followed a give-and-take question and answer period, with the professors’ questions being answered by the chief engineer, the sales vice-president, the personnel manager. and other executives.
This general session lasted about two hours. The group then divided itself according to the mutual Interest of management and faculty, with, for example, the professor particularly interested in personnel administration meeting with the company's personnel supervisor. One group traced the exact procedure followed by Hoosier Cardinal from the time an order is received until the product is shipped and the bill is mailed.
The success of the conference-tour was in large measure due to the preparation made in advance by Hoosier Cardinal. "The illustration set up in accounting, for example, was worth five chapters in a textbook." according to Prof. Busey. Days before the visit, Hoosier Cardinal first submitted questionnaires in an attempt to anticipate the questions professors would ask, and then formulated answers.
One thing that greatly impressed the professors was the fact that when they did begin asking questions, industrial executives ‘"didn’t hold back on a thing." They talked straight from the shoulder on any subject the professors wanted-discussed. According to one faculty member. "They seemed to be highly interested in how they might assist in improving the preparation of college students for business life, and we were equally interested in knowing some of the deficiencies in college students upon their entry into the business world."

“Candidates will compete for the scholarships." Dean Niles explained. “on a rating of one-third for potential capacity for unselfish leadership, one-third for extracurricular activities, and one third
for scholarship. While the candidates must have good academic records, they must, in addition, exhibit qualities of character and personality which will enable them to become honorable and effective members of the profession In the broadest sense of the term.” • Since twenty scholarships will be awarded each year and the law school curriculum covers a three-year period, It is expected that by 1953-1954 the sixty scholars then enrolled will mark the greatest concentration of non-governmental subsidized students in any school of law or government in the country.

"Since the object of the scholarships is to train lawyers who are qualified for public leadership, it will bo necessary to review the educational background of each scholar and to have each one make up any deficiencies in his general
education by taking reading courses, especially in history, the humanities and the social sciences, under the guidance of tutors chosen from leaders among the University faculties."
The Root-Tilden Scholarship program la one of many projects that will make the New York University Law Center, when it opens next fail, a focal point for the study and solution of vexing problems of law and its administration. Through publications, semi-nars. Institutes and conferences on various phases of the law, an effort will be made to integrate the law Into the changing social pattern.
The Root-Tilden Scholars will have opportunities of working on a comprehensive publication program, including the New York University Law Review and the Tax Law Review, the most widely read law school publication in the country: they will be in contact with the Inter-American Law Institute where scholars from the western hemisphere make comparative studies of two great systems of juris prudence: The English Common Law and the Roman Civil Law; and they will take part In the program of the Citizenship Clearing House which purports to "encourage young men of character and ability and a sense of public responsibility to take an active interest in politics."
