THE WEEK AFTER.
Last wook was a lioctie week for
the majority of students. Wo know
all along that wo would liav- mid
semester examinations 1m the tlioul.i
diil not seriously affect us until tiny
wore actually given last wook. There
wore tho usual 'cram' sessions and
attendant worries sometimes preater
after the examination than before.
Then, to finish the week well, many
students went to Kansas without any
stop for rest.
No wonder there was more than j
the usual number who yawned i:i
class Monday and found it d'fficult
to concentrate on what was bein
said. Work all week nnd play al! the
week-end allowed very little time for
recuperation.
The week, after is well started
now, however, and also the last half
of the semester's work. In some
classes we have already been told
liow we stand. A few students, who
after the examination last week talked
mournfully about how they knew they
had failed completely, joyfully flaunt
ed papers Monday with grades far
above the danger mark. According
to their temperament, some, who did
not fair so well in the tests, cither
folded up their rnpers quickly and
Did them, or hollowly bragged of their
low marks.
Even though the mid-semester re
port is discouraging, if there is any
hope, now is the time to do the best.
Begin before the week after is gone
to change the record which is too
low for comfort.
Those who have made an enviable
record during the first half of the
semester, have an added Incentive to
go on. Xo matter how good the first
reports are, it will require study to
maintain the high average, and it can
always be improved.
CAMPFIRt TRAINING.
Mention of Cam pf ire recalls to the
minds of many pirls the time when,
as high school students, they were
active members of a Cam pf ire cro'ip.
Others have not been so fortunate
as to have had the training and in
spiration to be gained from camp
fire. Campfire is distinctly nn organiza
tion for the growing girl. Tt is a
national organization which has done
a great deal for the young pir'.s of
America. The Campfire program :n
Nebraska is a large one. including
groups in many of the towns in the
state.
Each Campfire group must have an
older girl for a leader. T'niversity
pirls going out in the smaller towns
of the state to teach or in their home
communities are often called on to
take charge of such a group. To pre
rire giils for Campfire guardians a
class will be held on Mondays at t
o'clock at Ellen Smith hall.
The guardian training class is or
ganized as a regular Campfire.
Though the membership changes each
year, it has continued for many years.
Girls could hardly find a more
worthwhile extra-curricular activity.
The time g!ven to the work is neg
ligible and the returns received in
real training for leadership and in
enjoyment are great. The girls who
romplete this course receive a guard
ian's certificate, which certifies that
they are equipped to act as leader of
a Campfire.
Though the course is given primar
ily to prepare girls for Campfire
guardians, it serves as preparation
for leadership of younger girls in any
kind of a group.
Only those girls who are seriously
Interested in training for leadership
should enroll in the course. To de
rive benefit from it the girls should
attend regularly.
Contemporary Opinion
The "Pipe Course.
It often happens at Dartmouth and
at other colleges that an undergradu
ate needs a few more hours credit.
or thinks he Is working too hard, or
doesn't want to work at all. And
so he lnaulrea among his fellows.
tra tiers all the data he can and
then signs up for the easiest of the
many so-called "pipe" cnursoa the
College, has liuludod in iu curri
culum. Not much work is required;
men are seldom known to fail; and It
is often rumored that tho professor
things there is no mark below C.
The student-the word is not to be
interpreted strictly has paid his $25
for tho course. Ho passes It, but
pains nothing from his semester's
work. He tells Ills friends about the
"pipe"; others take it, pass, toll oth
ers. And so It goes. The time of
tho professor as well ns of the stu
dents is wasted. The College gives
three hours a wok credit to n man
who has done perhaps 30 minutes
work. The "pipe" course Is conven
ient if nothing else.
Are the students to blame Tor this
obviously artificial phase of our edu
cational system? Perhaps they are
to some extent; but certainly the
fault is not theirs alone. Against
them It can bo argued, of course,
that they come to colleg'e for serious
work, that they are expected to so
bet tit courss that will aid them
most, net those they can get by tho
j most easily. The educator will say
i an. I been saying for many years to
! tin avail -that college education is a
privilege and that men old enough to
come to college should bo old enough
to appreciate their opportunities. It
sounds well: but. like so many other
theories, it will not work in practice.
V. n will take "pipe" courses as long
as they are in the curriculum, and
take them for no other reason than
that they are easy. Occasionally in
such a course you will find men who
are taking it simply because of their
interest in the subject. Put usually
s ieh men are discouraged early by
the appaling indifference of tho oth
ers who have chosen it only as a
means of escape from hard work.
Put the student is not wholly to
I blame. Has not a man coming to
college the ripht to expect that the
college will offer him nothing that
:s not of value, that it will no al
low him to waste a hundred or so
hours in soni ewortblcss course each
semester? When the college has in
its curriculum such a course it is
taking from every student who se
lects that course and giving
nothing in return. The student him
self probably would not object now;
later he will recret the wasted time.
nnd will look with reproach on the
system that sanctioned it. He will
fed that he was cheated, even though
he took the ourse of his own free
will. We do not believe that professors
J deliberately make their courses easy
in order to attract students. We think
the trouble is that they do not appre
ciate how easy their assignments are
whenever they make any nor how
great the tendency is on the part of
the average to let things slide, know
ing he will never be checked up. A
professor, wrapped up in his own
work, is apt to forget that the zeal
of his students may not match his
own. To figures a student's thirst
for knowledge will leail .him to
browse around the library in search
of unassigned material. Not infre
quently he suffers disillusionment at
the end of the semester. Put a col
lesre professor is a trusting, optima
tie person: and he will often make
'ho s;?me mistake from year to year.
Do not mistake us. This is not a
rlea for more work. Most courses
are amply supplied already We would
merely point out, however, that the
average student will not find interest
in a course unless he is asked to do
some work in it. And without inter
est, the course will mean nine or
nothing to him. even though he may
pass with a high mark. Wo are not
sympathizing with this attitude on
the part of the student. We are
merely stating the case. Wo do not
think that any student has objection
to iloinir a reasonable amount of
work in any course. There is a grow
ing objection, however, to a course
that is as easy as to be uninteresting.
Not the rrofessor alone, nor the
student alone, is to blame for the
"pipe" course. It is a combination
cf the attitude of both that is at
fault. And the situation will exist
until there is understanding of the
other mans viewpoint, and a genu
ine desire to mould yours to fit his.
And that applies whether you are the
professor or the student. The Dart
