Grim Spectre Arises
It's coming again. That dread plague which sweeps across the
campus twice each year accompanied by the moans and woes of
the majority or students. It s heralded by grim looks and stern
vows of hard work.
Semester exams are almost upon us. "Finals." The very word
strikes terror into the hearts of many and produces oft-repeated
resolutions of study from the laggards.
And the same old complaints are dusted off for use. The criti
cisms and grumblings about the system of final examinations are
once more making the rounds. There are seldom any new or varied
expressions of the average student's disapproval of the entire scheme
of final examinations, but each student likes to have a chance to get
his gripes into conversation. We've heard these students and we're
among them. You've heard the students and you're probably among
them.
Some isolated professors have decided to abandon final exams,
but in the main, finals are well established. The consensus of
faculty opinion on the subject was evidenced conclusively by the
faculty senate during its pre-Christmas hearing of the senior week
proposal. Faculty inquiriees as to where spring finals would fit into
the program, a program which would apply only to seniors, in
dicated that prevailing faculty sentiment allows little hope. for a
sweeping change.
There are critics of final exams who have ample grounds for
their complaints. Professors who measure the work on an entire
semester on the basis of one examination appear to have ignored
or overlooked the common sense factor in grading.
We agree that it would be ideal to have classes small enough to
enable each professor to know the ability of his students through
discussion and classroom recitation,, but 'an attempt to go farther
with this suggestion brings on a host of related factors. More
teachers more money revised grading systems. All of these factors
are ideal, but improbable. G. M.

This is for the common stu

A recommendation against join
ing the National Students' Asso
ciation (NSA) will probably be
made to the Student Council
shortly. Reports from the special
committee meeting last week in
dicate most of its members op
pose affiliation.
An immediate decision to end
the is likely since the com-
miti . uncT participation this
yen , 0ui cost nearly $2,000.
The pariy line public outburst
of NSA zealot Gene Berman Tues
day makes such action certain.
Berman, when denied a post in
October as a university delegate
to the NSA regional convention
in Kansas City, went east to at
tend three different regional meet
ings in an unknown capacity.
Such intense "personal" inter
est is in marked contrast to that
of the average University wheel.
The NSA committee's drive to
sent used text books abroad will
take place between semesters re
gardless of the fate of NSA, if
democratic distributing agencies
can be contacted in time. The
chore was assigned the committee
by council president Harold Mozer
without the matter being discussed
in a' council meeting.
Handling of this idea from
Marthella Holcomb is reminiscent
of the one man show Mozer made
of the Big Six Racial conference.
That time his eager advisor was
Berman.
