‘Stay Off The Grass’
Asking students to stay off the
grass, Arnold C. Laich ’4l, All-
College president, said yesterday
“Spring is two days old and it’s
about time students remember
last fall’s off-the-grass campaign.
Let’s not mess up the campus
with a lot of- ugly paths.”
Green And Beige
Tops For Spring
As Spring trooped in with all
its glory Thursday, coeds’ fancies
lightly turned to Easter bonnets
and daffodils, to pastel suits and
spanking new saddles.
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.

A.—Yes.
Q. —Since my call number is
low, shall I enroll immediately
upon graduation or wait to be

cessary,” to enroll immediately
after the close of College.
Q. —If taken into service, will
it be possible to continue studies

A.—The College offers many
courses by correspondence. Since
the arrangements regarding these
differ among the several schools,
the student should consult his
advisor.

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

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 " •,
