Mr. Vincour also stated that most veterans object to the "mumified attitude of the instructors." It is my opinion, however, that it is not the instructors who are usually young and progressive but the professors,, department heads, and deans who are the ones who usu ally have a mummified attitude. They are the ones responsible for subject matter being twenty or thirty years behind times. They are the ones who cling to the old fashioned methods of memorizing the " notes, giving quizzes to see how good your memory is, and grading accordingly never both ering to find out if a student is learning anything or whether or not he can think. They are also the ones who act as our moral guardians and watch over us to see that no evil befalls their charges. The only trouble is that they are usually so narrow minded that the atmosphere they would like to see would be free of alcohol, tobacco, and sex. Here are a few changes I would recommend: More group discus sion in classes; at least one period a month set aside to discuss some current event (not necessarily on the subject matter of the course); discussion questions on tests that require more thought and less memorizing; a more concentrated presentation of subject matter; some way of testing professors to make sure they are keeping up with the latest information and methods; abolish the seniority sys tem of advancement give ap pointments for what the know, not because they have been here longer or happen to be "in" with the right people; give the students a positive voice in their govern ment not just a board to enable a student to get activity points; and above all, keep biased opin ions and old-fashioned narrow mindedness out of the class-room Sincerely, ROBERT L. RUBY. ENGINEERS' EXEC. BOARD. Paul Murfin, head of the En gineering Executive Board is asked to contact the Corrrhusker office immediately in regard to scheduling officers' picture. GAME OF DECADE. All students intending to par ticipate in'the Cornhusker-Corn-shucks vs. Rag game this after noon should meet in the Rag office at 3 p. m. today. N Club Votes To Eliminate RTOC Rifle Team Letter Will Christen "Nebraskan" Burlington Train of Tomorrow in Omaha Festivities Saturday At a luncheon meeting of the N Club held Thursday noon, mem bers voted to amend their con stitution with regard to awarding letters to competitors on the ROTC rifle team. It was decided tht no more letters would be given for participation in the event. Fred Metheny presented the argument against the rifle team letter. He pointed out that, since the activity was open only to ROTC members, all students did not have an equal chance to compete for the team. Colonel John Speaks Colonel John of the ROTC was a guest and spoke on behalf of the rifle team members. He men tioned the fact that the rifle team in the past has brought much credit to the university and that it required much effort on the part of the individual participant to make the team. "I believe that the letter is a just reward lo members of the team and it en courages competition," stated Colonel John. The group expressed the opin ion that, if rifle team competition was opened to all students, some further action would be taken re garding the situation. Christen "Nebraskan" It was announced that the N Club would make the trip to Omaha Saturday for the purpose of christening the "Nebraskan," Burlington's "train of tomorrow." Dick Thompson, president of the club, will do the official honors. Approximately 45 members plan to attend. Eddie Schwartzkopf was intro duced as the chairman of the In itiation committee which is slated to go into action in the near fu ture. ScTiwartzkopf announced that approximately 50 men were eligible for membership in the club. Legislation was introduced regarding the use of boards on new initiates -and the group ex pressed favor for their use. Tom Novak presented reasons why the practice should be continued. The approaching N Club dance was discussed and Jerry Jacupke was appointed chairman of the planning committee for the af fair. Other members of the com mittee will be appointed by the new chairman.
