With the draft, priorities, and the war on most ;>tudents' minds, this may sound like a silly thing 'to ask, but we' wish to venture this question: "Must we have final exams?"• We mainfp.in . until, shown otherwise • . ~ : -;bat any, professor worth his meager salary 'on this campus can tell what his student knows by .9).e. time . , exams come, around. We refer, of gout's% especially. to the; Schools. of Education and Liberal, Arts. We. still say let's have more quizzes •ood...less slumber in classeS. Chief argument, of professors opposed is "most 6:indents, do;,i't study, until, final, exams, and. examsare, qrp, our Only means of getting.. any. effort. from :them." Are they telling' us? 'that's. our. .strongr _.-est...axtguroar frntn,+q-rt.ol .- tpidipstiNel cramming of courses. The student. qeyer. retains, the, things. he, learns by cramming. Also. heard, was. the. complaint that the, more. • (.‘rowded, and conscientiously taught courses could. qot spare the time for quiZzing. The complaint 'is answered by those in whose, behalf, it is made. The better courses are-better because they do Nave frequent quizzing and alert, professors. To those, who insist on the importance of final ~ :xams, regardless of wartime needs and pressure, '',Na say . . . stand behind your beliefs, then, and give full ctiedit on the course to anyone who can 'pass the examinations, whether he attends class or not. In other words, give us no half-way answer. Make the exam mean what it is sup -posed, to be worth, or let's get rid Of the all night -..v».arathon weeks in May and January.

'With many points concerning student govern :neat to be cleared up, and a load of by-laws and amendments already burdening the old constitu tion, the revised constitution will only attempt 4. , ) clarify those points which have been misinter- Weted repeatedly by students. . There seem to be no drastic changes in.. store :for the constitution as it stands. But, a rephras ng of some issues, the dropping. of obsolete qlauses, and,the addition of a,few new interpreta 'idons of various student. activities will be made. Where the old constitution served its purpose 'co initiate a model of student, government, still. •untouched in college or university student gov ernment, the revised constitution will invigorate 'die type of student control which we now hold. The difference in the revised constitution is only that the old constitution will get a new coat THE DAILY COLLEGIAN 111116111411111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111161111111111111115 One Man's Meat 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 The scene is any frat club phone booth, prefer ably the Phi Ep 'or Phi Delt closet.
