The Problem is obviously one of tremendous proportions, but these are a few of the suggestions: Students will tell you that there are too many campus misfits clut tering up * the schools; they would find some way to restrict enroll ment. Sex education courses they would make compulsory, but at tendance would be voluntary to college classes. Most coeds would disparage the notion that it is- more important to find a husband at college than to study. Final examinations, 53 per cent say, are not a fair test of a student's knowledge in a couise. But most would prefer to keep the ABC system of grading instead of being either passed or failed.

Com ment on both these changes has been favorable. The charges against Secretary of Agriculture John Light and Dr. Milton S.
