Plan Emphasizes
Independent Study
Some of the educational practices of foreign
countries which were outlined last week by
foreign students in a discussion before the
American Association of University Women
might well be given consideration in educational
circles here.
One of the most potent ideas was presented,
we thought, by a Swedish student who noted
that more emphasis is placed on independent
study in Swedish colleges and universities than
in American ones.
ALL TOO OFTEN study in America is con
fined to classroom lectures and mere reading of
the text, with a few outside readings assigned
only for the sake of keeping up appearances.
True, this has the effect of giving every student
in a class the same body of information and
ideas, but it also tends to limit the range of
ideas that will be introduced to a class.
In part, this is because instructors are only
human and, although they may strive to pre
sent a subject fairly and without bias, they
still tend to color a subject by presenting it
from their own particular viewpoints.
With more emphasis placed on outside work,
students would bring many varying viewpoints
into the classroom and, in class discussion, could
digest them for classmates so that the new and
different ideas could be introduced into the sub
ject matter. What it would amount to would be
as many instructors as there are students, a
condition which would multiply the number of
viewpoints from which the subject would be
approached.
THE APPROACH would have the further ef
fect of getting the student into the habit of
doing research and seeking answers for himself,
rather than merely relying on an instructor.
Let us mot assume that our educational sys
tem is so perfect because it is so vast that
we cannot borrow ideas from other countries
which also have high standards of education.

Religion-In-Life
Program Valuable
Religion-in-Life week, which ended yester
day, can be compared to Penn State's cross
country team. That is, they both owe their
successes this year to well-balanced compact or
ganizations.
Although President Milton S. Eisenhower's
speech Monday night keynoted the week, it
was a combination of seminars, colloquys,
classroom -discussions, skeptics korners, and
firesides that combined to insure the program's
success.
Luther Harshbarger, of the Inter-Church
council which sponsored the program, and Jo
Hutchon and Emerson Jones, co-chairmen; are
to be complimented for the job they did direct
ing the activities. As part of Brotherhood week,
the program stressed brotherhood among men,
with leaders of every religion participating.
A point that the speakers emphasized is that
this world crisis did not develop overnight, and
that it probably will continue for several gen
erations. If students can remember during the
rest of the year what they learned this week,
they can help to solve the problems facing the
world.

• PREJUDICE, hatred and intolerance are completely alien to
the real American character. They have crooned out at numerous
times and doubtless will be appearing hereafter. But they are a min

of the American theme. Roy A. Roberts, president, The Kansas

then some day this thing might
spring, into a love all our own.
Can you, can you ever love me?
Can you ever cling to me
Like a squirrel clings to a tree?
Can you ever kiss my lips
Just like they want to -be?
Can you ever hold me tight
And squeeze with all your
might?
If you can, this thing some day
might bloom and never die away.
Can you, can you ever love,me?
