Cadet vIIorvay
Made College
Officials Wonder
CINCINNATI, O. (ACP). Ordi
narily the University of Cincinnati
wouldn't make much of a to-do
about a cadet named Horvay be
ing promoted to first lieutenant
in the ROTC.
But with Cadet Horvay it's dif
ferent. First, he is Dr. Gabriel
Horvav. instructor in engineering
mathematics, the first faculty
member in the Cincinnati, unit's
cadet ranks.
Second, he has ver been a sec
ond lieutenant. ne hasn't even
been a sergeant or a corporal. He
took the 1umD from cadet private,
first class, to cadet first lieutenant
in one hop.
And it was a short hop, at that.
Enrolling only last year, Dr. Hor
vay, by doubling up on his ROTC
courses, has gained in a little more
than one year what the average
cadet takes three or four years to
attain. All this, and a full teach
ing load, too.
Struggles between Greek and
Barb, meetings of the "faction"
where class officers, student coun
cil members are nominated, weeks
before election time, make campus
politics a fascinating but danger
ous business.
Knox College
Tailor-makes
Education
GALESBURG, 111. (ACP). Blan
ket graduation requirements are
a thing of the past at Knox col-
Ippp where the facultv has adopt
ed a system of all-out individual
ism in which each student's course
of study will be tailor made to fit
his own professional aims and
aptitudes.
Designed to acrueve at last mai
high degree of personalized atten
tion which has long been the boast
of small colleges, the new plan
took effect with the summer ses
sion. '
In abandoning the traditional
requirements Knox is thoroughly
aware of the new and vital impor
tance it thereby attaches to the
adviser system. In fact, the fac
ulty adviser, no longer able to
write out a student's curriculum
simply by consulting the catalog
for a list of required courses, must
now make a careful ana conscien
tious analysis of the students ob
jectives and abilities.
"The student tells us what he
wants to do, and then we tell him
what he has to do," explains Dean
Charles J. Adamec.
A freshman's program at Knox
i rfptprmined on a basis of his
announced professional aim, on his
aptitudes as revealed in vocational
guidance tests or in terms of his
major departmental interest.
Far from relaxing requirements
for the individual student, the new
Knox plan in fact intensifies them,
Dean Adamec points out, in tnat
once he has decided on a profes
sional or scholarly objective the
course of study he must pursue
during his four years may be very
rigidly outlined.
The only general requirements
retained are rhetoric, physical ed
ucation and the widely discussed
survey course, in which Knox
freshmen approach the problems
of living and learning through a
study of the middle west, their
own environment.
