DePauw Prof Classifies
Students Into 11 Categories
GREENCASTLE. Ind. (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."

Reyiability? Honesty? Consistent
performance?
"If none of the extra-class ele
ments enter into the giving of
grades, should some sort of item
ization of citizenship accompany
each issue of grades and each
transcript? If this should be done,
should it carry a report of avoid
able absences from class? What
should be considered in such
grades maximum effort as
judged by comprehensive psycho
logical tests (so-called intelli
gence test) conformity with and
to college ideals and rules?
