"Certainly college students could derive a great deal of benefit and pleasure from reading fairy tales." Thus spoke Professor K. J. Scott of the English depart ment in regard to a recent statement made by Professor Jo seph R. Taylor of the department of English at Ohio State. Prof Taylor asserted that "college students should read fairy tales the nonsense in tne presemy readings, mystery taies au iuvc ctrvrioa lnps more harm tnan good fairy tale could ever do." "I believe," Prof. Scott contin ued, "That a student's reading should be diversified and not con fined to a particular type of ma terial. If he has not read "Alice-in-Wonderland," "Gulliver's Trav els " "Hans Andersen's" and "Grimm's Fairy Tales" when he was voune. he would find it en- lovable to do so. If be has read them, it wouia do weu their acquaintance." Advises Wido Range. Professor Scott advises students their books from widely IU - vwn - difierent sources. Biograpwes, his torical novels, mystery uuea, travel stories and ordinary fiction constitute an excellent and inter esting selection.

Alexis of the department or romance ian-trnnp-esi exnlained the situation of the Spaniards in a talk before the Lions ciuo mursuay. Difference in noints of view be tween Knlish and Latin countries was offered by Alexis as reason for American failure to unaerstanu Spain and Spanish-American coun tries. "We have been victims of prop- oganda," he declared, "and we nave prime to believe that the Spaniard has been cruel and blood thirsty.

Last hpring the committee met with the board at a luncheon to talk over the matter. At that time, the committee laid before the board a plan of having two student representatives on the board. These two students were to be elected by the student coun cil. One member was to be a senior holdover from the board the preceding -year, and the other would be a junior who would be a member of the board the following year. Suggest Alternative.
