Dear Editor
Are we attending a school for juvenile delinquents, a penal colony, or
a college? In my estimation, a college student should possess some moral
ethics, or at least act intelligently. Around here it seems as if a new era of
vulgarity has blossomed. The students seem to be well versed in the use of
profanity, and are expending a great deal of foul language around the school
lately. The use of profanity is not restricted to vocal bounds, but is also
being applied to notices on the bulletin board. As soon as a notice appears,
it immediately becomes littered with drawings and phrases. The walls in the
classrooms are also being adorned with this rubbish. The students around
here seem to have developed a new language of their own. I've never seen
a group of supposedly intelligent college students carry on in the manner
that has developed here lately.
Can't something be done to indoctrinate the students on how to behave,
or do we 'have to give lessons in group behavior and manners? How about
printing this in the paper. Maybe the few offenders responsible for this will
wise up
Dear Editor
Evidently, administration has no intentions of fixing the water fountain
in the main building. What am I supposed to do run across the way to
the Memorial Dorm everytime I need a drink of the "universal solvent?"
In chemistry classes one of the main compounds one studies is H2O; yet in
the main building one is supposed to drink coke. If all the faucets in the
school were broken, one could attribute the disaster to the recent storm
that took place; but since only the one is shut off, I consider it an oversight
on the part of the coke dispenser
Dear Editor:
Since I have appeared in a class in this college, I have learned married
life from beginning to end. Also the price and construction and interior of
B-29's. In this class I have also learned the balancing and unbalancing of
an aquarium. How the Army Air Force runs from the General to the lowest
recruit, has also been one of the phases of our class. Ah! Tis the truth, dear
members of this institution, that any poor knave taking a blue book on this
would pass without even cracking a book, but is it fair to be given a test
on something about which we have learned nothing?
Of course in this class you are permitted to ask a question at any time
and through the generosity of your student neighbor you might receive an
answer, providing that this question is a relatively simple one of a simple
subject. If you ask the unbearded professor for advice in passing this subject
he will reply, "Do you have a book?" naturally the reply is, "Yes, sir." He
will counteract this statement with, "Do you have a mind?" (In my case it's
a little doubtful). But the answer to this question is also a simple, "Yes, sir."
Well, put the two of them together and you will get an answer. Nothing!
In closing I would like to say that I have one consolation; I •expect to get my
wings for graduation
Dear Editor:
Are we social outcasts? This seems to be the case, at least on campus.
A circular from the campus states that the new dormitories are available
only to 1000 new freshmen and 650 upper classmen who have had at least
one semester's residence on the campus.
Don't three or four semesters work at an accredited center qualify us as
upper classmen? When most of us started our schooling, the campus was
not admitting freshmen and we were asked to attend the centers until the
new dorms were completed and thus the students accommodated. After
waiting the two years, I seriously think that we deserve the same privilege
as the students on campus with an equivalent status. What about it?

Dear Editor
There are a lot of people in this
school who are taking Comp. 0. who
should be taking Comp. 1 and there
are a lot of people who are taking
Comp. 1 who should be in the Comp.
0 class. There is something radically
wrong here. Even the instructors
admit that the people who are in
their Comp. 0 classes are smarter
and hand in better themes than the
people in their Comp. 1 classes. It
is a crying shame that these people
have to waste a whole semester and
lose three credits by taking Comp. 0.
Even with these people taking the
attitude of "Why should I bother to
work? I'm not getting any credit for
it, "they are still writing better
themes and doing better work than
the people who are in Comp. 1. It
may be that the scores got mixed up
when they sent them from the cam
pus or there might have been some
other kind of mix-up. But wherever
the trouble lies I definitely think that
this matter needs looking into. It is
a shame that these people are losing
three credits.

EDITORIAL:
sponsible for the success of many social events held this past semester. As
President of the Interim council Mr. Bell gave the incoming freshmen a real
welcome during orientation week.
Harold Kramer, official decorator for most of the important social func
tions, certainly rates a (3) in co-operation. His ability to take on any re
sponsibility given him rates him as a leader very hard to replace. The organ
ization of the band is Mr. Kramer's big contribution to the Center and is
heralded as a step in the right direction in giving students with musical
ability a chance to bring this ability to the foreground.
"The "Collegian," in behalf of the entire student body thanks these
leaders, congratulates them for their accomplishments, and wishes them
luck in their future endeavors. Luck, we all must agree, is the only require
ment they will need to guarantee them success, if their past accomplishments
can stand as proof.
