ChtUiiJi Students indict American education as impractical BY JOE BKI.DKN. Editor. Ntllrtent Opinion Survey of Anxrlca. AUSTIN, Tex., May 20. Mod ern American education, in the opinion of the majority of the million and half college students now getting educated, in not meet ing present day needs. Six out of every 100 students in our colleges and universities have some indictment to make. The Student Opinion Surveys of America have discovered this in a national poll conducted for the DAILY NEBRASKAN and 87 other campus publications co-operating in these studies. Some may say that the average college boy is a chronic complainer about his school work. But inter viewers for the surveys found that most of these students are able to put into words what they think education needs. The great cry is for more vocational training and specialized study. Overwhelming ly, collegians everywhere made that statement although many were found who want colleges to change their courses of study with an emphasis on cultural back ground and liberal arts. Too much theory. Still, approximately, every stu dent approached seemed to say, "We are getting too much theory that we cannot use in finding a job when we step from college into Miss Kecfer heads frosh honorary Alpha Lambda Delta elects new officers Frances Keefer, freshman in teachers college, was elected pres ident of Alpha Lambda Delta, freshman scholarship honorary, at a meeting held Thursday after noon.

Faith Medlar was chosen senior adviser and Miss Winona Perry was re elected faculty adviser. Alpha Lambda Delta members will be asked to help freshman girls with difficult studies next semester, an nounced Elnora Sprague, outgo ing president, among other activ ities which they regularly per form. Membership in this group is awarded freshman girls who have made an average of 90 or above for their first semester or year at the university. Dr. Martin to preside at accountants meet Dr. R. O.

That attitude goes hand in hand with a recent poll taken by the surveys in which students declared they believe they are fac ing a world that offers less op portunities than it did before they were born. Whether the American college student is right or wrong the sur veys do not try to point out. This is merely a record of what they say and why. For example, there are a good many who would like to see education "atuned to the world of today, modernized." Faults, they say, are found in curricula that do not fit individual needs, and there are many incom petent teachers, This might be corrected, one student suggested, by paying faculties higher salaries. Some state that schools should teach more patriotism, educate people to distinguish between democracy and "isms." There Is too much emphasis on grades, some hold and a few even com plain that the courses they are now taking are "snaps" too easy. Perhaps pointing to local condi tions, students of the Middle At lantic states were the least satis fied, while those of the West Cen tral and Southern sections split almost 50-50 the question, "Generally, do jou think education is meeting present day needs?"
