(ACPC). Trof. A. Reid Wiusey of DePauw University classifies students. "After 15 years of lecturing in a typical small liberal arts col lege, one collects an astonishing array of interesting types. Sev eral weeks ago, after a delightful dinner of crabmeat and pickles they all returned to haunt me: "1. The athletic type The aca demic processes hold no terrors for the hero of the gridiron. His fraternity brothers have a com plete file of my lecture notes and examinations. It's a rare treat to find him in class. So nice of him lo come. "2. The playboy type The morning arter finds him in class in his roommate's shoes on the wrong feet. He drops his pipe but never quite recovers it. I hand it to him after class. "3. The academic type Prob ably the most objectional of all. The head is attached to the spine on a hinge and nods back and forth during the entire lecture and the mouth and eyes utter con tinually, 'Yes, professor, Yes, pro fessor.' "4. The negative type All right brother, you 7"Ht me in this class, now just try to teach me somehting. You would put me in the front row. I can hear him Uttering under his breath, 'For gash sakes, let's get this over.' "5. The lovey dovey type Must be taken together for they are inseparable as two Siamese twins. Hearts and music, violets and poetry, these two love birds are majoring in Marriage and the Family. "6. Camouflage He always brings an armload of books to class to impress me, I guess. The boys are on to him, however, and someone is always picking on him At the moment hes sitting on a tack and trying to get someone's feet off his back. "7. The popular type She had lour fraternity pins this semester three last, and spends the class hour twisting the ends of her beautiful hair. This little stunt is sure to drive any instructor in sane. . "8. The wholesome type Wears what every college girl should wear, act like everv col lege girl should act and talks like every college girl should talk constantly. She's at it now. "9. The clock watcher I sup pose she has wound her watch three times already. She always starts shuffling her feet and put ting on her coat about 15 min utes before the end of the class. "10. The sexy type This would-be campus queen just loves the boys, all the boys, all the time. She doesn't care what the other girls think of her clothes, Meaning of 'A9 Grade Ashed By Manchester College Prof NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind. (ACP). A professor of Manches ter, college writing in the editorial columns of Oak Leaves asks the readers for their opinions: "Just what is the meaning of an 'A' grade? "Are grades necessary at all? Before you say yes or no, think of actual life situations. Are people in positions of trust or holding menial jobs by accident? Or has there been a sifting? Is this equivalent to grading or not? "Is an 'A' student one who makes hundreds in his class-room scores, alone? "Should any difference be made between the student who attends class regularly and one who by choice is often absent? Are consistency and regularity a part of the 'A' grade symbol? "When a student is absent, for any cause, should it become a part of his grade-responsibility to give the honest reason for such absence, or should all ab sences go without any excuse being offered or required? In other words, does class atend ancc carry with it an element of co-operation with other students in the class or with the teacher? "If class attendance becomes almost or wholly voluntary will there be a tendency to arouse a type of battle of wits between teacher and pupil to see which can trap the other? For example, would rather highly teachnical questions be justifiable to make sure tne skipping student has really mastered the textbook ma terial? "Suppose a student cheats, but repents (when discovered) and repeats the test, getting a good grade. Should there be a pen alty? "Suppose a student has been asked to make a special report. He decides such report will take to much work. He skips class when he is scheduled to give the report. However, he always makes high grades on exams, and re cites accurately when present. Should he be penalized for fail ing to cooperate? "How often and to what extent should a teacher be penalized for a student's failure to fully accept responsibility on class attendance, assignments, and cheating? "W hen a school superintendent gets a transcript of student grades and finds a sizable block of 'A', what does he expect of such stu hey're just jealous. 1. The tardy type Always bursts into the room in the mid dle of your most important state ment. Of course her seat is taken nd the battle begins in earnest." ftOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO IDNITE SHOW JULY llli HORROR rs. COMEDY! nvs mix vm 11 ALSO FOUR HILARIOUS CARTOONS Doors Open at 1 1 P. M.
