Drt Blame for College Inefficiencv
Goes to Teachers, Writes Worcester
Tn reply to the accusations made
bat the modern college student un
derestimates his opportunities, Pro
or D. A. Worcester, nssociare pro.
fS!or of Educational Psycology in
the Teachers College, recently pub
lished an article in the Journal of
Educational Research for February,
1928 in which he suggests that col
L' teachers are also partly to
blame for the inefficiency charged
against the students.
Mr. Worcester goes on to say that
although the student is said to be
"indifferent toward his studies and
that he has an excessive amount of
time for extra curricula activities,"
tj,e teachers also waste much of the
student's time because they are in
different to its value and the assign
ments are not profitably given in
connection with their class work.
Repetition of Information
In support of his contentions Pro
fessor Worcester gave general exam
ples showing where there was repeti
tion of content in courses and de
partments, where repetition and pre
informaticn, acquired professionally,
and common sense enable students to

is a tendency in modern teaching
methods to give equal attention in in
struction to that which is fir la nnr
known.
In another article, "Some charac-,
teristics of a Good College Text
Book," which was published in
"School and Society," February 18,
1928, Professor Worcester erives the
results of an inquiry among his stu
dents as to the qualifications of a
good text book.
'Horrible Examples'
In contrast to the requisites, Pro
fessor Worcester gave what he called
"horrible examples." Some of the
qualifications were: good make-up,
style and convenient size, a glossary
to explain technical terms and abbre
viations, avoidence of too much de
tail, experimental evidence and min
ute description and a vocabulary
within the comprehension of the
average student. The professor ad
mitted that although the "points are
not now the fact that thev are point
ed out by student readers indicates
that they are still of some importance."
sensational in Eastman's refusal,
which probably accounts for the ab
sence of widespread publicity such
as followed a similar act at the Uni
versity of Kansas two years ago.
Eastman, in a letter of explanation
to The Dartmouth, suggested that
Phi Beta Kappa is not keeping pace
with changes within the college. It
continues, he said, to lean hc-vily
on grades based on quizzes and ex
aminations, measures which the Uni
versity itself is discouraging.
DARTMOUTH STUDENT
REJECTS P. B. K. KEY
Eastman Refuses to Accept Election
To Scholastic Society Due to
Marking System
Hanover, N. H. (by New Student
Service) Blaming for his action a
faulty marking system that gauges
rote learning rather than genuine in
tellectual ability, and Phi Beta Kappa
for lending its support to such a meas
ure by electing its members on a
basis of grades, Charles Allen East
man '28, refused election to the
Dartmouth chapter of the honorary
scholastic society.
Dartmouth has been taken aback,
because for years the senior classes
have without exception voted the Phi
Beta Kappa key a more desirable
prize than the "D" for participation
in athletics.
Eastman Is Able Athlete
Eas: lan is an athlete, having
played on the soccer team for two
years. He is a member of a campus
scholastic society of high standing.
But when the golden key was ten

The memorial drive which was

Sine the death of Grace Coppock
in 1921 this money has gone to the

dorse the recommendations of the
Student Council unanimously. This
would involve the restoration of
diagonal parking on R street from
Tenth to Sixteenth street and on Six
teenth street from Q street to Vine
street, with the removal of the ar
terial highway from Sixteenth to
Seventeenth street.
Alpha Sigma Fhi voted unanimous
ly in favor of the Student Council's
recommendations. Members of the
organization also expressed the be
lief that city traffic should be routed
over streets other than R and Six
teenth streets which carry such a
heavy student traffic, pedestrians as
well as auto.
Action Is Unanimous
Sigma Alpha Epsilon and Sigma
Nu, fraternities which recently
moved into their new quarters on
north Sixteenth street both went on
record as unanimously favoring the
restoration of diagonal parking.
Kappa Psi, in the heart of the R
street congestion, unanimously ap
proved the recommendations of the
Student Council.
Beta Theta Pi and Delta Tau Del
ta, fraternities with houses on E
street between Fourteenth and Six
teenth streets both unanimously ap
proved resolutions asking restoration
of diagonal parking. Sigma Chi ex
pressed itself in favor of the old
parking system.
Delta Delta Delta, sorority on the
corner of Sixteenth and R streets,
passed a resolution unanimously ap
proving the recommendations of the
Student Council for restoring of
diagonal parking and elimination of
Sixteenth as a through street. A sim

north on Sixteenth street.
S Street Groups Vote
Two sororities on S street, just
off from Sixteenth street, also passed
resolutions approving action of the
Studont Council. These were Alpha
Omicron Pi and Alpha Phi. both of
which indicated that parallel parking
on Sixteenth street had further com
plicated the parking problem on S
street where parallel parking was al
ready in use, necessitated by the nar
rowness of the street.
The sixteen organizations passing
resolutions indicated a strong senti
ment that students living on the
streets concerned were opposed to
present traffic conditions and park
ing control. A few organizations
called by The Daily Nebraskan after
the flood of phone calls reporting
resolutions against parallel parking
began coming in, reported themselves
as being indifferent.
Phi Sigma Kappa, Alpha Chi Ome
ga, and Alpha Delta Pi reported that
their membership was apparently in
different. Sentiment was expressed
by members of one' of the organiza
tions that action was not taken be
cause of fear of arousing agitation
against University cars.
Phi Kappa Psi did not meet Mon
day evening so did not consider the
parking problem. Kappa Kappa Gam
ma, the other sorority in the area,
could not be reached at a late hour
Monday evening.

self in detail he realizes at once that
he has a great many little character
istics. Now the problem arises as to
how a person gets all these points.
Of course, the general answer is giv
en at once that he receives them from
his two parents and this is correct.
"But where did our parents get
so many things to give each one of
their children? The answer is similar
to the answer to the question that
we started out with, namely, the
source of life," declared the speaker.
"Every one of the thousands of traits
that the parents give to their child
ren are received by these two par
ents from their two parents and so
on back through the ages to Adam
and Eve."

Fund Enables Study
Of Chinese Culture
Cambridge, Mass. (IP) The
most complete study and interpre
tation of Chinese culture ever under
taken in the Occident, according to
the Harvard Crimson, will be enter
ed into by Harvard University in
conjunction with Yenching Univer
sity, Peking, China, as the result of
a ' $2,000,000 endowment for this
purpose made by the Estate of the
late Charles M. Hall, of Niagara
Falls, inventor of the new process
of taking aluminum from the crude
ore.
The step is hailed as of great
significance in promoting friendly
relations between the United States
and China.
World Tour Debaters
Stranded in New York
Eugene, Ore. (IP) Declaring
that the debaters have spent more
money than they should have in their
world debating tour, the Associated
Students of the University of Ore
gon have to date refused to advance
any more money to the Oregon
World Tour Debate Team, reported
stranded in New York City without
funds.
The debaters have been financing
their trip mostly through the pro
ceeds of the debates. When they
left Oregon, according to student
finance officials, they were given
$600, which was supposed to be e
nough to see them through. They
were not to ask for more.
