Wright .35 MONDAY EVENING; NOVgMBER 27, 1933 NO VINDICATION NEEDED Director Bezdek, in an intervtiew published last ihstie, expressed his belief that the athletic policy has been vindicated by the fifty percent. record of the foot ball team this season. The Penn: tie indicated that football here is definitely on the u 1 wing, h 2 said. In this particular instance, it is difficult to see the logic in the Director's conclusions. The three victories were victories over three admittedly weak tennis. Two of the defeats were at the hands of much better teams. The tie was probably the result of. an inspired team playing up to the Franklin field trailition, rather than a temp seeking to vindicate the athletic policy. There is no fault to lind, howe!ver, with Director ltezdek's sympathy for the athletic piolicy. As he says ; "student attitude toward victory and defeat. has chhnged to a more philosophical trend." Students are beginning to see the merit in an.athletic program which seeks to take smne of the air out of the old intercol legiate athletics balloon by putting football on a truly amateur basis. There is a certain' satisfaction in know ing that this College is in the vanguard of the move ment to make intercollegiate athletics something more than contests between hired men. In this respect, therefore, the athletic policy of non subsidization needs no vindication. The number of vic tories made under it depends to a large extent upon the number of colleges and universities on the schedule which have the same policy. Victories and hard-won ties, of course, may gain sympathy for the policy, and in that sense "vindicate" it. But winning, in the last analysis, does not make the plan right. The essential rightness of the policy is evident, regardleis of victories, Its popularity alone depends on the latter. IN THE LETTER BOX tlis issue, a student com plains of the discrimination implied by the Interfrater nity Councils attempt to raise the scholarship of fra ternity men, while disregarding that of non-fraternity men. However, it is likely that discrimination was intended by the Council. It is 'merely interested in improving the scholarship of its' Members. There is new a Non-fraternity Association which could do the same thing for non-fraternity men as the Council is attempting to do for members of fraternities: And the School of Education would probably be quite willing to aid a similar effort on the part of a non-fraternity group. It remains for the non-fraternity men to give their cooperation and support to the formation and work of ther new association, instead of expecting the Interfraternity Council to do something for, them. No .discrimination is involved; it is merely a question of delegation of poWers. INDEPENDENT WORK No students *have, taen advantage of. the ruling permitting- independent • work : in 'Liberal Arts courses this semester, according to Dean Stoddart: Lack of in tereet on the part_of the students and on the part of the faculty is cited as the reason. Undoubtedly, emajority of the students, including the ones with high averages, are interested in doing just enough work to get a certain grade. They are obsessed with the apparent importance of a numerical grade. If they can get that grade without doing this independent work, they feel that it would be an added and useless burden to assume. Of course, they lose sight of the real purpose of academic instruction, which is not to give the student a grade, hut to improv,e him intellectually. And most students, knowing that they will he judged by their numerical grade, hesitate to as sume added work which may he of doubtful benefit to their "average." This is especially true in important lecture - courses in which the assuming of indenendent work does not give the student the inclination to "cut" lectures in order to do this work. Then some of the blame can be laid to the faculty. If a professor feels that he has something to say (and what one doesn't?) he will not be so willing to see his students cut classes in order to pursue independerit work. Furthermore, such a plan may mean more work for the already-overburdened professor in the way of confer ences, reading reports, etc. But these are not justifications for the existing at titude; they are just explanations. Students ought to be interested in improving themselves intellectually, re gardless of the grade or work. And professors ought to be interested in aiding their students to do so, regard less of the added burden on themselves. But if they aren't, then the independent work plan, or any other similar plan, will never gain wide acceptance. It is commendable, though, that the School has been liberal enough to give its students the opportunity to advance, and it is to be hoped thit some students will take ad vantage of this liberality before the semester is over. Flywheel has fivt• pups. Flywheel belongs to a man named Dickson who teaches Art. She is part Chow and part Irish, and was brought to State Col 12ge by a football captitin named Collins. When Col lins left last spring he gave her to some people named Stuart; they gave her to seine people named James. When she lived at James' she chased chickens so they gave her to the man named Dickson. Flywhe . el liked it at Dickson's. There were no chickens, they had a fireplace, and youngsters, and a gentleman dog lived neat door who was so Irish he smoked a corncob. She liked the Irishman especially. Flywheel has five pups. One of them is a lady John A. lirutrJunn '35 I pup. "We like the manner in which the W S. G. A. does business. When a girl is turned in for some offense her name is brought up at a Senate meeting and that body decides.on her punishment. She never knows who turns her in, nor does she have a chance to defend herself or to say whether or not the accusa tion is true. "It's too bad that the courts in this country don't ass this system. We'd turn in the R.0.T.C., Dean Grant, Franklin D. Roosevelt, and a lot of the local celebrities for something or other. "But on •the other hand the system isn't totally efficient. They ought to read up a little on the Span ish Inquisition. Perhaps they'd get some ideas on how to run a real governmental machine." . —W. V. K.
