ito the students to develop a synthesis
lof the student's work at the end of
(the course in June in place of the
‘older plan by which each course
might be dismissed and credit de-
posited at the end of a semester.
Tentative Grades
Concerning the procedure to be
followed under this plan, Dr, Nelson
stated that instructors in courses in
several departments have been re-
quested to cooperate in this experi-
ment beginning January, 1939, This
experiment will substitute in place
of the January examinations, the
Procedure used at mid-semester,
namely, the registering of a tentative
grade based upon papers submitted
and class quiz grades. It is expected
that this procedure will demonstrate
that the student just returning from
the Christmas holidays, having been
distracted by social functions, will
be relieved from preparation for final
examation in a part of the courses
for which that student is registered | ;
and that this relief will enable the
student to prepare himself more
logically for those final examinations
Wriews with those students doing un-
satisfactory work, others will use
this time for summarizing assign-
ments,
Students fearful that preparation
for a comprehensive examination in
dune may prove a herculean task
will find solace in the announcement
that “it is expected that in all
courses where examinations have
been omitted in January, provision
will be made for a unifying and sum-
marizing treatment of the work of
the entire course: in other words the
student will be expected to receive
assistance in bringing together the
course materials and in organizing
his conclusions,”
Student Opinion Sought
According to Dr. Nelson, the
permanency of this plan will depend
on the success during future years
of this experiment which is now be-
ing initiated. The Dean's office will
welcome expression of opinion from
members of the student body, Stu-
dents are advised that it is particu-
larly desirable for the faculty to be
informed whether or not students

All Work and No Play —
Tonight the juniors are welcoming in a
new semester of social activities with
Junior Prom, Monday we heralded a new +
semester of school activity with the resum-
ing of classes.
Each of these events has its own signifi-
cance and importance. Bach represents a
phase of college life that goes toward mak
ing better teachers and citizens of us.
Neither one can be wholly successful with-
out the other, for it is the combination that
fits us for our places as teachers in a varied
society.
Tonight we'll go to Prom—we'll meet
and mingle with the faculty and guests, as
well as with our own friends and their
friends, When we go home, we'll know
that we've done more than just to dance
with our partner of the evening — we've
been meeting people in other than a pro-
fessional way and furthering our social
education, This is important to the teacher
in developing personality. Our marks, al-
though they might be all A’s, can not do
this for us.
Now we come to the other event, the
importance of which must be realized—the
beginning of the new semester. We know
that school lessons and good marks are
important, for every professional man or
woman must have adequate training in the
chosen field, It is only right that we should
do our lessons carefully and conscientious-
ly—we don’t need to he ‘stooges’ to get
ahead,
We know that the proper social atti- |
tude, good marks, adaptability, and teach-
ing skill are all ne ary to us. How can
we achieve the workable combination of
these things? By learning the secret of
concentration on the thing at hand and
striving to reach and keep “le juste milieu”
—the happy medium,
We know it’s possible, and we're wish-
ing you all a happy and successful year,
the best in every way.
STATE COLLEGE NEWS, FEBRUARY 10, 1939
Junior Suggestions
Commentstater
Twice a year there comes to the students of this
college a period of utter confusion and hopelessness.
These times of the year are the days preceeding the
beginnings cf the new semester. The need, at this
j time, for second hand books is intensified because
of the lack of adequate facilities for handling of the
second books that are floating around the school,
A majority of the students have second hand books
to sell, and so they place the names of the books they
wish to sell upon some yellow sheets on the bulletin
beard next to the News office, hoping that the buyers
will discover their advertisements, How is it possible
for the buyers to find any of the books they need when
the titles are slapped on these sheets in a haphazard
| manner? No cne can ever find the books that he is
looking for.
As a suggestion to some enterprising student—
why not set up a second hand exchange to which
students can bring all their second hand books to be
sold? At the same ume that enterprising student
can make a nominal commission on the transaction.
The housing problem at State is still on our mind
although it is a rather tardy subject for considera-
tion, The women's problem has been alleviated con-
siderably by the erection of the Alumni Residence halls,
and now the question of a men's dormitory comes
up for consideration.
In our ramblings about the campus, we have dis-
covered that directly opposite Huested hall on Western
avenue is a huge mansion advertised for sale. Our
first glance at this building reminded us of the men’s
dorm proposition and we immediately investigated,
The building is large, sturdy, red-brick building set
well back trom the road, and, as far as we can see
would make a very suitable dormitory for the men.
| Renovations and repairs, of course, would have to
| be made, but this point is too minor for considera-
tion here,
Whether this suggestion is practical remains to
be seen, but we urge the Alumni association or those
of authority to look into the matter,

The lag in the intramural sports
events is not only creating havoc
with the program set up by Intra-
mural council, but also making mat-
ters difficult for the sports report-
ing staff, It is not a case of a sports
writer feeling sorry for himself, but
there is no news for those interested
in following up the intramural sports
program.
Bowling has hit a terrific snag.
Consequently there are no results
available for the interest of bowling
enthusiasts, As for tumbling,
things are progressing at such
feeble rate that hardly anyone
knows that such a sport exists in the
college, It is not the fault of the
heads of the departments, but of the
participants themselves, Laborious
work by the heads minus the co-
operation of ompelitors leaves
everything in a_ pickle.
Too bad that an excellent pro-
gram should begin to crumble be-
cause of lack of interest

thermore, they have never played
