Green promises to be this sea son’s outstanding color with the new beige close on 'its heels. 'Ever-popular navy will get in for its share of suits, coats, and dresses complemented with dashes of robin red in hats or gloves. Canary yellow and Erin green also show prominence in accessories. Flower colors of violet, rose, blue, and yellow are predicted to give garden glamour to spring prints. The military motif is holding its own as evidenced by insig nias, coats of arms, stars, and braid on suits and coats. Finger tip and short school-girl capes show a trend toward regimenta tion; oif-the-face hats with high crowns are trimmed with tassels and navy anchors. Showing longer, smoother waistlines and slimmer skirts, silhouettes this year will be more svlph-like with no traces of shoulder padding. Box-pleated skirts will be stitched down fur ther to give sleek lines. Net, feathers, flowers, and folderol adorn hats which are ■worn back on the head. For those •who can carry them, pompadours will prove most complimentary to this vogue. Sailors will be set straight on the head. Draft Questions (Continued from Page One) privates? A.—Yes. Q. —Since my call number is low, shall I enroll immediately upon graduation or wait to be called? A.—lf your number is low, it would seem wise, unless you be lieve the work you do is “ne cessary,” to enroll immediately after the close of College. Q. —If taken into service, will it be possible to continue studies •by correspondence? A.—The College offers many courses by correspondence. Since the arrangements regarding these differ among the several schools, the student should consult his advisor. CLASSIFIED SECTION TYPEWRITERS —All makes ex- pertly repaired.

Read The Collegian Classifieds The Professor’s Side Editor’s Note: This solicited article appeared first in; the-fali issue of “Mortar Board Quarterly.” ' : By SHIRLEY B. BERNREUTER Over and over again I have heard college undergraduates say; that they would like to-know their professors better. I suppose that every college newspaper, sometime during the year, hopes edi»; torially for better student-faculty relations. Nothing much seerhs to come of it. What’s the reason? ; . • Is the faculty really indifferent toward undergraduates outside of the classroom? I don’t believe so. I think the average college teacher enjoys being liked for himself alone, likes to be consid ered a swell, human person by his students just as any other in dividual likes to be appreciated by the people he works with and spends his life among. The nor mal young college teacher, not very far removed, as yet, from his own student days, starts out determined that he’s going to mean something in his students’ lives. But the enlightening and sometimes painful experience of a few years usually destroys this ideal, and he withdraws from undergraduate life. Why? Because he, like most people, soon tires of a relation ship which involves much giving with little receiving. Because he is misunderstood, imposed upon, rebuffed, and sometimes belittled by being toadied to. I don’t mean to exaggerate. But picture for yourself how he feels when you invite him to your dances or cof fee hours and then acknowledge his presence not even with a smile or a nod. When you, as a fraternity woman,' invite him to your faculty teas without his wife who you know very well exists. When you invite him to give up the precious freedom of his Sunday afternoon to speak to or advise a group which either doesn’t assemble until a half hour after he’s been asked to come, or never appears at all. When you take advantage of a relationship more intimately established to enter his house in his absence and borrow some article, assuring him later that you knew he wouldn’t mind. Or when you, forgetting that you are only one of many, try to pre empt all his free time for your self. How would you feel in his shoes? Wouldn’t you begin to wonder whether students really wanted to know you, or whether they were just courting your fav or? Wouldn’t you begin to sus pect that the burden of student friendship was too heavy to keep up? Wouldn’t you grow weary of a relationship in which The or dinary amenities were being con stantly violated by the other party? With the result that you gradually withdraw your self from student society- if you are ordinarily sensitive, and, since you can’t explain your case to each new college generation, are soon set down as an old fogey. Not that I think such under graduate bad manners are inten tional. They arise in the same fashion as all bad manners— from a lack of understanding of all other persons’ points of view. All college professors have been Has Just The Room We've Been Looking For. ; COLLEGIAN WANT ADS PAY!! SATURDAY, MARCH 22,'.1941 undergraduates once, and know something of-fthe.‘students’ point of view. But have you, the-stti dent, ever stopped to consider what a college-professor is, how he lives, what he does when the lecture period is: oyer? .. ; In the first place he’s likely to be rather shy,; sensitive, retiring. That’s usually chose to teach—because the teaching pro fession offere'd'hun _ some seclu sion, freedom to think,.Jo. study, to be along when he needed to. be. If he is truly the scholar the university believed him’to” be when it employed- him, he feels his responsibility to read in and beyond his field,'to .write, to do research. When' he goes home or to his office after class.hours, it’s not just to lounge around, but to work. That’s why he tries to keep conference hours—so that student demands will' 1 come : at prescribed times, leaving other hours free for his work;’ 'Usually one or two of his eyenings'a week go to his professional meetings.. The rest he likes ■ to’ keep' ’ for work and adult 'social “engage ments. Saturday' and' Sunday af ternoons are holidays for him as he usually likes to spehd''therh with his wife-and family:"He''is typically a busy, seribus'man.'He. is just as likely to 'resent ’ un necessary intrusions on his 'priv acy, unjustifiable demands upon , his time, as the .next person.' But, on the other hand, he is quick to cooperate with students-when* he feels that they have-a'g’emhhe need of him. ! Here are a few practical sug gestions, which, if generally fol lowed; would do a great deal'to improve faculty, feeling toward students: 1. Be friendly on ' campus. (This would signify more good will to the professor than'aU'the dance and tea invitations'in'-the world.) • • 2. Be considerate of His'time. (Ask questions after the class hour ends rather thari' befol'e'lt begins, when he is preoccupied with his lecture materiaip'and don’t keep him talking when'he has another class to’reach' imme diately afterwards.)” 3. Try to meet' : him'," ; when necessary, by scheduled' apj)Sint ment during office hoursJrather than at his home d urittg'h is ie is - ure hours. (Many ’a/jirofesskir’s evenings are made hectic tiy tele phone calls from students.) 4. If you have asked' him to speak to'your group; Try. tq begin the meeting on time,'.and conduct' business meetings after he has left. (After all,'he has' shown' kindness in giving up “His time to you. Show that ' you appreci-” ate it.) ... ... 5. Don’t extend'hirn"social im vitations unless yob. actually de-* sire his presences " •, WELL I'LL BE! Look, Jim, The Collegian S Classified Section
