OR GET OUT Once upon a time, not so long ago, a freshman entered- this college, ostensibly for the purpose of study. But this freshman was not very in­ terested in an education his aim was to cut himself free from as much study as possible. After standing in line for hours during registration, tossing a coin to decide his subjects, and pay­ ing his bill, the freshman bought a couple of books and floated down the hill for cokes'and all the pleasures that college life offers. His books, and his seat in class meanwhile, slowly . gathered dust. "This freshman, as you must see, was not college material. That he was in a university at all was a me­ mento of the fact that he was one of fortunate few who make up the "haves." Part of his "having" was the right to a college education, and he , was "having" even though education was being forced down his throat with a silver spoon. All upperclassmen, of course, know this freshman and too, too many of his kind. I But this is AMERICA^ we explain easily." This is Washington, a state college, an institution of the people ... anyone can come to Washington. It is time we stop kidding ourselves education for a great many years has been based too much on a monetary basis. A noted columnist, Walter Lippmann, posed this problem some weeks ago when he asked "Do Dollar Signs Govern Our Educational Sys- tem?" Lippmann suggested govern- mental appropriations to see that real leaders, thinkers among our youth, received a college education, and that (Continued on Page Four) INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS TO BE CLUB TOPIC In the interests of providing an outlet of expression for students in­ terested in the state of the world, an International Relations Club1 is being set up on the campus._ The first meet­ ing will be held on Monday, January 25, at 7 p. m.un the Student Lounge. Emphasis of club activities will be more on the study of causes and ef­ fects than on current events. The club will constitute a method of famil­ iarizing the interested with the tech­ niques of this approach to the study of world affairs. Primarily a study group, the IRC should release some pent-up emotions current jn the campus./ The club advisor will be Mr. Elwyn Odell, political science specialist.

IN AIR NAVIGATION ASTRAL LECTURE COVERS GALAXY ST ARS.PLANETS After an absence of six years among the stars, Harry Johnson, astronomy lecturer, made another appearance at CWC at an assembly held in the col­ lege auditorium Tuesday morning. Combining continuous slide photo- tographs and diagrams with his lec­ ture, Mr. Johnson used his "electric finger," a special flashlight, to point out objects as they appeared on the screen. Among the things he called attention to were faces resembling those in animated cartoons and formed by craters On the moon's surface. In addition to facts and photographs about the moon, Mr. Johnson pre­ sented information concerning the earth, the constellations, our universe, and the telescope. In discussing the stars Mr. Johnson debunked astrology arid stressed the fact that astrology magazines use charts which show the stars in the position they were 5000 years ago. "Astrology," saicl Mr., !iohnsonfK "(s simply the-'atory of the Iltflfr star tHit isn't tlvere." . p T By MELISSA GILCHRIST "Janosik, oh yes, that's the 'Czecho- Slovakian film of a 17th century Robin Hood, isn't it? Full of action, too, I hear." This is the third of a series o'f foreign films iand is to.be presented Iby Kappa Pi on Friday, February 5, at 8 p. m. It is a privilege for us to view the best in foreign films iand everyone should take the opportunity. The America^ public sees so much of the techniques employed in the produc­ tion of American films that it be­ comes oblivious of any other type. Foreign film makers often sacrifice glamour and stupendous settings to portray dramatic moving stories. Em­ phasis is placed on excellent photog­ raphy and the dramatic ability of the actors rather than on a beautiful face or on a revue of a 100 gorgeous gals. As college students we should gain a wide appreciation of art and art forms arid surely movies are a form of art which should be critically ap­ praised and appreciated for their techniques of production,, plots, pho­ tography and art direction, casts, and directors. In this series of foreign films there will be Russian, Czecho-Slovakian, English, and French films, all of which have been top-notchers in their countries. The films will be in the language of the country in which they were filmed and will have English sub-titles on the screen. Kappa Pi sincerely hopes that this series of films will prove to have ap­ peal to the public and that a large number of students as well as towns­ people will attend each film. It must be pointed out that Kappa Pi cannot be criticized for any flaws or diffi­ culties that may occur in the film or in the sound. Because difficulties may arise in one film does not mean that these difficulties will occur, in the other films. r -' •• ' Dig into that hack pocket for that 20c you have been saving for soirie-. thing important and reserve a seat for "JAN'OSIK" on Friday, February 5th, at 8 p. m.

TWELVE CAMPUSITES CITED IN COLLEGIATE WORLD'S WHO'S WHO Twelve students from CWCampus have been cited in "Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities" for 1942. The students include: Carol Bice, Bette Camozzy, L. G. Carmody, Margaret Cotton, John Dart, Harriet Hendriek, Sture Larsson, Herbert Legg, Bonnie Stevens, Betty Thomas, Evelyn Conant Thompson, and Rus­ sell Wiseman. iStudents must be juniors, seniors, or advanced students before they are considered for inclusion in the Who's Who voluriie. Selections are made at a joint meeting of a committee from the Executive Board and a committee from the faculty Student Welfare Committee and on the basis of an es­ timate of their leadership qualities, participation in campus activities, per­ sonality traits, scholastic standing, and an evaluation of campus opinion.

Vetoing the traditional junior Barn Dance in favor of a Tramp Trot, this year's class of juniors toss discretion to the winds and set out to give their fellow CWC'ers the "bum's rush." The Tramp Trot will be held Friday, January 29, 8:30 P- m. in the Women's gym. Costumes and twenty-five cents will be required for admittance there will be door prizes refresh- ments. (It must be noted that juniors who have paid class dues will be ad­ mitted free those who have not will be required to pay class dues plus the admittance charge.) x Junior class social commissioner, Joan Arbuthnot, announces her com­ mittee heads. as follows: Marjorie White and Maryalyce Phelps, Decora­ tions, co-chairmeri Jean Richards, Publicity Eloyce Evans, Program Gertrude Kauno, Refreshments. It is essential to stress the need for ALL juniors to pay their dues to Betty Wirsichmg, class treas­ urer, by J4riuary 25 in order to make the 'tramp Trot a success­ ful jaunt. . TAKES SHAPE AS DEFENSE LOTTERY 1 High pressure methods of extor­ tion are to be cast to the winds when CWC's War Bond Drive goes into ef­ fect soon. Based on the assumption that the American public would rather take the sporting chance of gettirig a whole bond by paying only a dime, the bond drive will feature a war bond lottery. Rather than paying ten or twenty- five cents now and then in an effort to save toward an $18.75 War Bond, the new idea will enable students to contribute as much as they wish knowing that they will win either a whole bond or nothing. Defense savings stamps will be avail­ able for those who object to this method of raising money which is vi­ tally needed for the war effort. Sture Larsson, chairman of, the campus War Bond Drive, states, "Rter jgardless of what your sentiments are as to the method,. the fact remains that your contribution is needed. We ask you to get back of the drive and make' those dimes or dollars tinkle into the national coffer which assures our future freedom." Each living group will 'be requested to carry on its own drive at its owi* set rate. It is planned to hold the lottery raffle during the intermissions of basketball games or .other social events. ' The lottery will be conducted by students who will be recognizable by the fruit jars which they will be re­ quired to carry as symbols of their function. "The Issues of the War" will pro­ vide a topic of general interest and varied posibilities when Virgil Cun­ ningham of the Ellensburg Record and Russell Broadhead, known as a mem­ ber of the social science faculty, at­ tempt an analysis in a forum to be sponsored jointly by the Herodoteans, campus history honorary, and the- so­ cial science division bn Thursday, January 21, 8 p. m., Music Bldg. aud­ itorium. Mr. Cunningham is not new to. the campus having frequently appeared as a speaker on- several history club for­ ums. He has earned a reputation as a local savant of a somewhat pessi­ mistic nature concerning world af­ fairs. Mr. Broadhead has his local repu­ tation yet to establish being known briefly here as a profesor—of econom­ ics and social science. While not a pro and con discus­ sion, it is probable that the speakers' twenty minutes apiece will he spent on questions of the Caliber of "What are we fighting for?" and "What are we fighting against?" It is doubtful whether these questions can be taken seriously as satisfactory answers have yet to be given for each. The speakers will discuss other phases of this problem, covering the bases of national unity or disunity and attempting to answer "On what issues do the American people tend to divide " "Are the United Nations fighting for the same ideals?" This might propei'ly include some discussion of post-war aims. With both speakers limited to exactly twenty minutes apiece it will be interesting to see how thorough the discussion of the "Issues of the War" will be. Sue's House Mother Resigns, Prefers Work In Hotel To Caring For House of Girls IMrs. Lula Rainey, Sue Lombard housemother, has resigned her posi­ tion after serving in that capacity for alriiost nine years.

(g&s>af tc ACP'i J*y Richi#x Reports t T~ WasSn*, COLLEGE TRAINING PLANS FOR ARMY, NAVY MEN WASHINGTON—(ACP)—As stu­ dents left the nation's campuses for holidays at home, the Secretaries of War and Navy—with approval of Manpower Commissioner Paul V. Mc- Nutt—announced the long-awaited college training program for service men and servicemen-to-be. Loose ends of the dual program still need to be tied together. 'For exam­ ple, just how men are to he chosen for the college work isn't yet clear. Which colleges will be selected for training centers is another unanswered question, although Secretary of Navy Knox has said "We will give special consideration to those (colleges) with meager financial resources whose ex­ istence is threatened iby the war." * * * . Main provisions of the plans, as they affect both Army and Navy, are these: Army men 21 years old and under, and Navy men 22 and under, may apply for the college work. Nothing in the new plans will af­ fect existing contracts of Army or Navy with colleges. Men selected for college training will wear uniforms, be on active duty and receive service pay. Soldiers will go to school as privates, seventh grade sailors as apprentice seamen. Civilian professors will do most of the teaching. , * * * Main provisions of the Army plan, known as the "Army Specialized Training Program": Men chosen for college training will be drawn from enlisted men who are taking, or have finished, basic train­ ing. Exceptions are medical, dentistry and veterinary students in the enlisted reserves who -will continue their studies under the new program hi active duty status. Medical, dental and veterinary stu­ dents not in the reserves may finish another semester of college. After that, they apparently will be subject to selective service and will have to qualify for training under, the new program in order to continue their education. Pre-medical and pre-dental students and junior and senior engineers, whe­ ther or not they are in the reserves, also may finish another semester in college Fourth-year ROTC students may finish another semester in college. All other students in the reserves may expect to be put on active duty soon. All other students not in the re­ serves are subject to the draft—now. . * * * The Navy's side of the new pro^- gram is known as the "Navy College Training Program." Normally, stu­ dents in this program will be picked up during their senior year in high school. At a "date to 'be announced," all will be placed on active duty as ap­ prentice seamen, and V-l's and V-7's. V-l, V-5 and V-7 reservists in college then may continue their studies under the new plan at least through their junior year. Those who qualify as medical, dental, engineering and theo­ logical students may complete their professional studies. V-5's may complete the year "cur­ rent at the time of their enlistment or transfer to V-5." .7 Students now holding probationary commissions may resign "at a date to be announced," enter the new col­ lege program, and be commissioned again later. * * * MANPOWER PLAN Now that general outlines are drawn for the Army-Navy college program, 'the War Manpower Commision is working oh a similar plan which would provide college training for prospec­ tive civilian war workers, includiiig both men and women. This plan would take up some of the slack in college enrollment, which has dropped about 14 per cent in the last year. That's assuming the gov­ ernment finances such education. Ex­ tent of financing depends upon how much money congress will appropriate. Principal courses of study probably would be medicine, chemistry and en­ gineering, although McNutt has said liberal arts will not be overlooked. The following: is an excerpt from a letter written to a co-ed here at CWC from a soldier in the United States Army. Is Freedom a man lifting a gate latch at dusk, and sitting for a while on the porch with his very lovely wife, enjoying the sweet, cool evening breeze before he goes to bed? Is it the violence of an argument outside an election poll is it the right­ eous anger of the pulpits? Is it the warm laughter of a girl sitting cn a park bench? Is it the rush of a motor coach over the continent and the unafraid faces of people looking out the windows? Is it all the "howdy's" in the world, and all the "hello's," that I would like to be getting? Is it trying to remember the words to the "Star Spangled Banner?" Is it the sea breaking on wide sands somewhere and the shoulders of a mountain supporting the sky?

OR (Continued from Page One) fine citizens were not deprived of edu­ cation by monetary values.* Conditions have changed a little lately. The •frar is grimmer, closer to home. Booming war industries, sky­ rocketing wages have sent young stu­ dents into college as freshmen who formerly would not have been able' to attend.. While the dollar sign is still around our educational system, tink­ ling cash registers are outringing it. Universities have found that they cannot do business as usual. Educa­ tion must keep up with the times, Courses are revised. It is now time that students realize that they also must not expect busi­ ness as usual. The "haves" had bet­ ter realize that education better mean something to them. The "have i\ots" who have been given a chance to go to college must make the best of this chance. For the men at least, going to college is like entering the services. The government still considers college education worthy, and while the en­ listed reserves still function, all of us had better make the best use of our opportunity. "Dollar sign" education or not, we who are the "haves" in education had better start fighting a winning war on the educational fronts, or we will be immediately fighting an actual war.

About 50 girls were in attend­ ance with the basketball, volleyball, and dancing facilities. While a hot game of basketball was going on at one end of the gym, equally exciting games of volleyball and badminton were going on over other areas of the floor. Among the basketball performers were the (Misses Home, Puckett, and Freegaard. All three played for the "Green" team and were instrumental in making many of that'team's scores. Miss Puckett, Sue's new acting house­ mother, also had a turn as referee along with Miss Garrison. 'In the course of the evening it was made known that the Play Night was also the occasion of Miss Garrison's birthday. She was presented with the world's smallest birthday cake—a cup­ cake with one candle—-to the tune of a chorus of "Happy Birthday." Others seen on the basketball court were such seasoned performers as Chick Pryor, Celeste Hayden, Harriet Hendrick, as well as a number of wel­ come newcomers, including Helen Hines and Betty June Wilson. Playing badminton and volleyball were the ever-present 'Garrison and Home, Lee Johnson, Betty Cady, and others. The general consensus of these and other Ko-eds present was that this had been a successful Play Night and set a mark for future Play Nights to attain. \ mmmm / fm uJiM'- ? * , -.•••» y • v.-.v.-.- .. ,......

At Bellingfham DOUBLE SERIES JOURNEY IN STORE FOR WILDCATS OPPOSING PLC AND SMC v y^yy-y. •y& , •VV . With only two games having been played on their sixteen game schedule, ttie CWC Wildcats already have found themselves with their backs to the wall, following their twin setbacks at the hands of the Western Washington College Vikings. From now on, the Wildcats are going to have to fight an uphill battle in an attempt to overtake the strong Eastern Washington Col­ lege Savages and the Vikings who are sitting on top the Winco circuit with four straight victories chalked up by each of the fives. Possibly, at the most, the CWC hoopsters can lose only two more tilts and still have a chance at the Winco crown. The Savages can be counted on to grab off eight victories at the expense of St. Martin's College and Pacific Lutheran College. Against the Vikitfgs and the Wildcats, they can be expected to get at least an even break. Adding it all up, Cheney should finish her schedule with a record of twelve wins, and four losses. Now, how do we reckon with the Vikingte?, Well, if Central is to win or tie for the league crown, SMC or PLC will havte •to come out with at least one win over the WWC outfit. Totaling up the Bellingham score: seven wins over St. Martin's and Pacific Lutheran two from Central and two from Cheney, giving them a season record of eleven wins and five losses. Getting back to the Wildcats coming uphill battle, they will have to make a clean sweep of the SMC and PLC series and then break even—to get a tie with Cheney for the top spot in the final Winco standings. Not being a team which would be willing to share high honors, the Wildcats will have to take three from the Savages to establish themselves as undisputed Winco champs. This whole thing- being a Wildcat rooter's dream, it can be left mostly up to the Wildcats to see how near they can come to making the dream come true.

The Wildcats dropped a 49 to 45 de­ cision to the Western Washington Vik­ ings at Bellingham Saturday night after losing the opening battle of their opening Winco series the night before, 51 to 46. Those two defeats give the Central quintet a terrific handicap to overcome. in a circuit in which teams of the caliber of Eastern Wash- ir»2ton and Western Washington are operating. Their championship hopes now rest on their ability to trim the Cheney quintet and on the chance that Cheney and Bellingham will rut each other's throats. Expecting a tough series, the Wild­ cats j:an into more than that at Bel­ lingham. Coach Chuck Lappenbusch came up with a big, talented outfit and measured the Cats in two of the roughest engagements Central quin­ tets have ever seen. A total of 96 fouls were called in the two nights, 27 on each club the first night and 21 on each the , second. The character of the battles sets up their return series here February 1 and 2 as a couple of games the boys won't want to miss. That series is the first on the home conference schedule of Coach Leo Nicholson's quintet. Before that series, the Gats travel to Tacoma and Olympia for four games with Pacific Lutheran and (St. Mar­ tin's. They meet the Lutes this Fri­ day and Saturday and the Rangers Monday and Tuesday.' Although the Wildcat regulars showed better form in the second game at Bellingham than they had in the first, Coach Nicholson indicated today that changes in the varsity were prob­ able and it wouldn't be surprising if high scorer in the Winco loop last year. Wiseman, starting out to smash Johnny Katica's conference scoring mark, rang up 41 points in the two games. The first night he collected 22 points, including 10 free throws, and Saturday he got 19, including nine foul shots. He collected three person­ als in the first half Saturday, but managed to last the distance. Lineups: WWC (49) Ps.

SGA ARENA jpr t •77C OF STUDENTS AND THE CURRICULUM Last year, in the December 10, 1942, isue of the CAMPUS CRIER to foe exact, we ran a column under the label of "CWCing" which espoused the case of the Students against the Curriculum. Condemnation was weighty and plentiful. It was offered on the basis of personalities which, it was claimed, had been offended and on the judgment that students have no basis for such criticism. We are not the proper judges of these bases of condemnation as we can only echo the opinions of the students who take the courses required under the curriculum and judge them because they are the victims. But we oelieve that the curriculum as offered here is far from perfect. And we realize that complete perfection may be frequently undesirable as well as unattainable. Rejecting criticism or even opinion is a denial that there can be im­ provement. There is in existence on this campus a faculty committee whose primary purpose is to study the curriculum in order to make recommenda­ tions for possible improvement or change. This indicates that even the powers-that-be are aware that all is not satisfactory. Students, the majority of whom, are studying to become teachers, are required to take courses with brief nondescriptive labels and are told that "these are essential in one's education if one is to become a well-grounded teacher." The student takes the courses. It is possible that he or she may discover why after actually teaching for a few years. There are instances when even the instructor doubts the value and im­ portance of the course which he is required to teach. There is yet another point—the seeming partiality regarding the number of courses required from a department. The classic example is the fifteen hours of required science as compared with five hours of required music, art, or geography or three hours of required home economics or history or no hotOrs of required literature. We will not claim any particular interest in any of the above mentioned but wish to point out that the discrepancies are many 'that no one course can be cited as more important than another that all would appear to be equally valuable not only to the "well-rounded" teacher but tio any thinking individual. _ . Perhaps we should advocate a completely required curriculum or a com­ pletely elective one: We shall do neither but shall remain hopeful that some­ thing may yet be done. -• y Toavsls v/i'chin th? ranks have called for new 2p- pomtmenrs to be made by the Ex­ ecutive Board of the SGA. At the January 18 meeting of the Beard, Shirley Dickson was appointed to rcplace Evelyn Conant Thompson, who resigned when she did not return tc college this quarter. Shirley as- s"^ed her duties immediately. Helen Drake was appointed adver­ tising manager for the CAMPUS CRIER as Betty Love, manager for the past year, was unable to return.

S. colleges, men must get at least 110 in the Army classifi- | its provisions for college men who are | enlisted in reserve corps." ' College men in the reserves and in "advanced technical and engineering courses" may now finish the academic year. The same goes for first-year advanced ROTC students, most of cation test, the same grade required! , ...

LAMENTATIONS We have seen the dawn four times this week, and some day shall wax literary over the bright blue colors in the sky and the cold shivers that run down the spine at that hour. We have come out of exams with an empty feeling that betokens no good unless by divine intercession. We have seen the time for reports come and .go, and have watched help­ lessly or worked feverishly toward the deadline and torn the pages still hot from the typewriter scant minutes before class time. We have met our fac­ ulty, and looked up guiltily and wondered if they knew we had just cut the class. . We have gazed enviously at engineers because they work as hard as we do but nobody gets mad at th.em. We have envied the chem students because they can leave the lab and it does not follow. We envy the football players 'because they are bruised physically our soul is seared. For an editor's life is not a happy one. We have said kind things about people because they deserved to be said and unkind things because they are true and people have remembered only the unkind things. We have found 99 mistakes and have corrected them, and the hundredth has slipped through and been there for all to see. We have run a "campaign" to correct that which we have found is bad and have found that we are imperfect ourselves. Yet we cannot remain at peace with this world for people view us as knights on white chargers who must bear the never-ending crusade against wrong and injustice. We have had to judge and weigh the doings of life on this campus to put out a paper each week and every, interest group has thought that its doings ytere the most God-awful important things that were happening. And there have been souls best let alone whose privacy we have had to disturb. We have given groups more publicity than they have ever had before, and they have clamored it is not enough. We have not always given credit where it is due, for we too are unjust . . . but not from intention. We have heard words of praise, and it has given us heart to Say: Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead. We have had to smile when we were angry, and to piacate where we would rather fight. We have watched sincere people inflict great hurts be­ cause they were not tolerant, and have tried hard to be tolerant of them. And we realize keenly our privilege to get so great an opportunity for self disci­ pline. , We have been threatened with censoring when to our eyes ^there has been nothing to censor. We have been'offered compromises which have been agajnst our grinciples to accept. . But which have given us strength to fight. We have tried to teach our staff the ABC's and been often discouraged and realize that we will be lucky to learn them ourselves by the time of graduation. We have been promised "copy" by Sunday, and it has come in on Tuesday and we have been blamed for not being able to find and cowect the errors in the rush to get a paper out at all. We are tired in mind and exhausted in bddy. Willihgly would we transfer tfie and duties to other sboujkferft, so that we May sleep. -But one must accept his destiny there are no othfer shoulders. - ' v of these who training. | Other requirements, previously an­ nounced, stipulate that candidates have at least a high school education. Further, they must either be in basic army training, or have completed it. Except in the case of advanced col­ lege training courses, men must be at least 18 and no more than 21- years old.. There is no maximum age lim­ its for advanced training. * * * CIVILIAN MANPOWER AND COLLEGES College training for prospective civilian war workers is being discussed in Washington's War Manpower Com- mision. Present plans envision fed­ eral subsidies for education of both _.. „ , ^ young men and women for important Orgmally scheduled to start^ * eb- war jobs However, a new plan—which pro­ vides. no subsidies to students—is be­ ing submitted to the Commission by educators here. The plan represents a minci'ity view which contends that it will be impossible to get adequate funds—and get them quickly enough ruary 1, it now appears that the Army's college program won't get under way until a later date. • Since the Army announced its train­ ing program in mid-Decembcr, criti­ cism of it has been heavy.. Whether it's due to this needling or for some j —from Congress. other reason, the Army has relaxed Advocates of the new plan point out I JOE HAS KO'D EVERY MAN WHO HELP, THE.

When the conversation becomes lax at the dorms . . . strange as it may seem to some of us, it does now and then slow up . . . the next suT^-.c^ which usually comes to the fore Is the gentlemanliness or ungentleman- liness' of the male portion of the stu­ dent body. The common agreement seems to be that the average man on the CWCampus is lacking the neces­ sary traits which add that certain "polish" to the individual such little courtesies as making a point of open­ ing the door for the coeds. Most skirts find that the door makes an awful draft on the face when it slams in front of them ... Since fate decreed that there be an overpopulation of the female homo sapiens here, one has to admit that the men would probably need an extra ten minutes to get to their classes . once the unending stream of women pass in review. In return for • the courtesy the least the girl could do is to say "thank you" . . . which I'm sorry to say many of them forget even in this enlightened age. -Why wait until tolo week before the boys become more' attentive and girls of­ fer an assisting hand to a fellow , loaded with various and assorted ar­ ticles ? Do colleges, this one in particular, need to declare a courtesy week so that its students observe the simple rules of being courteous? Tradition is cumbersome at times, but since it is with us even unto the end, one needs to conform to its principles or ac­ cept the ultimate results of ignoring it. Sometimes notice also the seem­ ing neglect of the principles of eti­ quette in respect to the college pro­ fessors they don't say much verbally, but thought is a more potent weapon. HATS OFF! To those students who' have taken over the vacancies left in SGA offices, and other club offices goes the salute of the week. The responsibility which such positions require is even more arduous when assumed in mid-stream. Each individual deserves a round of applause for the work he is doing emergencies oftentimes shown the unknown quantity to be the stuff that great personalities are made of. TO TEACH OR NOT TO TEACH Last week many student teachers found themselves quarantined by an unusual epidemic of childhood diseases raging on the campus. To prevent the college students from spreading them to the grade schools, all student teachers were asked not to a.ttend teaching on Monday. Personally, I. believe this a wise plan it would isolate any human incubators. What prevented this plan from being fully executed ? , Conferences could have been aranged whereby student teach­ ers would be able to continue their work through research or practical work with materials. Many cities are being swept by epidemics of one thing or another and the shortage of medi­ cal aid hinders the possible curbing of such plagues. Patriotism can be stretched far enough to enable us to. arrest any potential epidemic ... A few days of student teaching is not too high a cost to pay. THE AXIS! HELP INVEST 10% OF YOUR INCOME IN WAR BONDS is*?- that a $39,000,000 request for a col­ lege war-training program was par­ ed to a paltry $5,000,000 by the last Congress and the government's Bud­ get Bureau. Why not, they ask, foe realistic and speed things up by for­ getting the subsidy? The catch is, of course, that many of our best potential war workers may be unable to finance college educa­ tions—or feel that they cannot afford college when they can ma£e big wages at comparatively unskilled war jobs.
