Friday, February 16, 1940 8 THE DAILY NEBRASKAN .1 (. 'Polishing the j apple' has its pros and cons The average student sees Teacher as an old creature who devises assignments which will interrupt student life, in order that the oddity may red pencil in an unkind and unsympathetic way the responses ga:nered from those assignments. It is assumed that Teacher lives to wet-hlanket the students' existence. Making friends with Teacher, the art known as "apple - polishing," is taboo. Teacher holds forth en one side of the classroom desk and the students on the other. "East is East, and West is West; and never the twain shall meet," said Kip ling, and he could have meant the east and west of Teacher's desk. When Teacher unexpectedly does not appear at class there is great rejoicing as the students race from the room. Sweet liberation from a tormentor! Teacher a hindrance. It is childish of young people to adhere to the theory that Teach er is just as scheming, hindrance to their happiness. If a student en rolls for classwork, the logical as sumption is that he wants the subject as an end in itself or as a means to an end. Since Teacher is the master-mind capable of presenting the work, his absence from the room should bring groans instead of cheers. For the best interests of all, an atmosphere of dignity and respect is essential between Teacher and students. Chaos would result if Teacher hob-nobbed with the with the students to the extent of jitter-bugging with them at their gatherings. It must be dis tressing to Teacher, however, to be placed at the other extreme and be considered an enemy. Somewhere between the extremes should be a substantial attitude of respectful, friendly co-operation. An apple for the Teacher was a charming custom of grade school days. Even University professors might like a figurative apple once in a while. Kirsch conducts Union forum in photography Dwight Kirsch, head of the Fine Arts department and instructor in nhototrraDhy. conducted a Union forum on photography yes terday. He gave hints on how to take good photographs, and illus trated his talk with pictures of his own. He paid special attention to work with candid cameras as that seems to be the most popular mode of photography today. He also explained how to take photo graphs without using cameras, and how to use various other kinds of photographic equipment.
