ikeral Arts Dean Discusses
4 ectives of School, Courses
Covering five main fields in the Liberal Arts school, Ben Euwema, dean of the LA school, dis
cussed objectives of each field last night at the first Liberal Arts lecture of the current series.
The LA tradition, according to Euwema, is to produce a facsimile to the spaceman who is serene
and has no aimlessness, conflict, or confusion. "We have a long, long way to go," he said. "Wisdom,
brotherhood, and humanity are the finest products of the liberal arts."
'Rush' Jobs
Available
To Students
Students may earn a few extra
dollars by doing "rush" jobs in
their spare time, according to
John Huber, director of 'Student
Employment S 2rvice.
Huber explained that students
who have sandwich hours or oth
er spare time can earn money
by babysitting or helping with
housework. "Rush" jobs are jobs
that must be done almost as soon
as requests are received.
Students who register with the
Student Employment Serv i c e
should check with the office at
least once a day for "rush" jobs,
Huber said. They should not wait
for the office to telephone them.
Students who have filed appli
cation cards should report any
change in address, telephone num
ber, or schedule, Huber said.
He emphasized that students
who fill job calls should realize
that they are acting as represen
tatives of the College, and that
townspeople will judge the entire
student body by their actions. It
is important that jobs be well
done and completed on time, he
Said.
Application cards may be filed
at any time during the semester
in the Student Employment of
fice, 112 Old Main. ;

THE DAILY MLLECHAIir. SMTE iCMLEGE, PENNSYLVANIA
By NANCY FORTNA
Three typical attitudes to the
liberal arts he refuted were: (1)
vocationalisrn, the belief that lib
eral arts studies should prepare
students for a specific job; (2)
presentism or insistence that the
past has nothing to teach us and
we must live only for the present;
and (3) that the LA school, for
example at the College, is pri
marily a service school. The Dean
explained his own ideas of what
liberal arts are supposed to do to
help development of the student.
Stresses Use of Words -
Taking fields of the mother
tongue, foreign languages, sci
ences, social sciences and arts, he,
discussed his ideas on objectives
of these departments.
Speaking about English, he said
linguistic skill is not just teach
ing English composition. "Every
thing we learn in college, and
practically everything in life, is
verbal. Skill in the use of words
- is one of the basic aims of the
liberal arts." Unity in all depart
ments is needed to accomplish
this aim, he added.
Need Clear Objectives
Euwema said the curriculum is
only part of the problem of teach
ing a course. The manner in
which a course is taught is as im
portant as the matter, he points
out. In his discussion of variqus
courses, he described what the
attitude of the course should be.
The problem is phrasing ob
jectives so .they may be used
every day in classrooms and at
the end of the course in testing.
Objectives should ' be clearly
stated, he surmised.
"We represent the collegiate
three R's," said the dean. "Only
if we proceed to have sound lib
eral programs can we serve the
other schools."
