TUESDAY, MAY 9, 1933
THE SENATE RULING which permits a student
to take any course in the College if he has the necessary
prerequisites clears up a situation which has been
clouded with rod tane for some itme. ‘Students can now
get instruction in any School without having to enroll
in that School. Although the ruling was not aimed at
the School of Education in particular, it will have an
important effect on that School's policies in the future.
Previous to this time, students who desired to take edu-
cation courses necessary for a teacher’s certificate were
denied the right unless they enrolled in that School.
Now, with their adviser’s consent, students will be able
to schedule any education course if they have the neces
sary prerequisites. Although this action of the Senate
will pi’obably mean that fewer students will enroll in
the School of Education, it will also mean that more
students will take education courses. Many who were
kept out by the former rigid ruling will now take these
courses as a necessary part of their college work. They
will benefit; and the School will benefit by on increased
enrollment in its courses. Both should be satisfied.
ALTHOUGH THE $3,708,000 appropriation has
passed the Legislatui’e and received the signature of the
Governor, the fate of the College -for the next two years
rests with the people of the State at the November
election. If they approve the bond issue submitted at
that time, the College can continue at only slightly re
duced efficiency. If they vote it down, one-third, or
over a million dollars, will be deducted from the present
reduced sum. Students, faculty members, and
interested in the welfare of the College should be active
in their support of the bond issue. -Otherwise, the Col
lege may be forced to run on two cylinders after all.
NOW THAT SENIORS are to get the rental of
their caps and gowns free of charge, few are concerned
about the price that was to be charged for each outfit.
Although the fee as listed by the company was $2.00,
the student committee was forced to charge $2.50. Why
was this necessary? Upon investigation it has been
found that the student committee is not dealing directly
with the company supplying the outfits; but. through a
middleman or agent instead. In' order, to make a rea
sonable commission from the undei’toking, therefore,
the student committee has been forced to add fifty cents
to the rental price of each outfit. There may be a good
reason for the existence of a middleman, but it is not
very obvious. The student committee seems to bo doing
all the work connected with the taking of orders and
distribution and shipping of outfits. Will seniors next
year be forced to nay the increased charge even if direct
dealing with the company is possible?
SENIOR MEN AND WOMEN will attempt to iron
out their differences concerning the disposition of a
three thousand dollar surplus in the class treasury, at
a joint meeting tonight. Last week, the men recom
mended that the money be given to the Student Loan
fund for the aid of worthy students, while the women
proposed that the sum bo invested and the interest
used to establish a scholarship. Of the two proposals,
that of the senior men seems the most logical under the
present conditions. A scholarship would aid only one
person a year, while three thousand dollars added to the
Loan fund would probably mean that as many as fifty
students could secure enough financial aid to complete
their college work. The first would be a more per
manent class memorial, but the second would be a more
practical and effective application of the funds.
WITH THE SENDING OF letters to fraternities
explaining the present system and the proposed merger
of men’s and women's student governments, campus
opinion on the question will become a little less foggy.
Too many students have been quite willing to oppose
the plan without knowing anything about it Needless
to say, such an attitude is unfair. A judicious con
sideration of the faults of the present system and ad
vantages of the proposed system will show that both
the men and the women have a great deal to gain by
forming a combined Student Board and Student Council.
We’re going to come out and make a bold state
ment. Spring, at last, is definitely here! The cam
pus has turned so rich a green that the gentlemen
who manicure the grounds are really leaving a trail
of inch-long grass behind their lawnmowers, the fa
miliar drowsy attitude has assumed leadership over
all actions, and romance .... Ah!
• Recently an amourous couple were ensconced on
the Old Main tower balcony, and believing that they
wero unobserved from below, became quite engrossed
in their tctc a tetr . Trouble was that the tower lights
threw huge shadows on the walls behind them, and
inevitably they were discovered. In an amazingly
short period of time an appreciative audience gathered
below, and finally a great shout went up from the
crowd:
“Vive la sport de France!”

Points Out Need df Progressive
t Leaders To Bring Reforms 1
“To find a group of leaders cour
ageous enough to innovate radical re
forms needed in a world muddled
toy slow thinkers is the only way out
of our present depression/' declared
Dr. John Haynes Holmes in addressing
the chapel service in ‘Schwab auditor
ium Sunday morning.
Dr. Holmes, pastor of the Commu
nity Church, New York: City, divided
present-day people into three classes.
Ever present in all ages, he declared
are those who live in the glories oi.
the past, the “standpatters,” who are
afraid to go either backward or for
ward, and the ambitious, ever desirous
ol‘ pushing onwards.
“By far the greatest percentage of
the people today belong to the class
which looks backward at all times,
blit tho ‘stand-patters’- always make
themselves felt in times of'stress such
as this,” the New York pastor pointed
out. “Every great advance is accom
plished through the far-sightedness of
those visionaries who’ are aware of
outworn customs and are unafraid to
propose startling changes.”
