New Freshman
Work and Study
Program Lauded
The new freshman work
scholarship program inaug
arated by the University last
semester was highly success
ful Mrs. Jane Wendorff, as
sistant to the dean of stu
dent affairs commented.
Work scholarships are
awarded to incoming fresh
men on the basis of need
and scholastic standing in
high school.
Hundred Given
Last semester more than
100 students received work
scholarships. These students
ranked above-average schol-
astically and worked from 12
to 24 hours each week. The
wages earned were equiva
lent to half the cost of room
and board in the dormitories.
Students working 24 hours a
week received a salary equiv
alent to full room and board.
The jobs consisted of work
in men's and women's dorms,
the food services of the Stu
dent Union and Love Library.
Mrs. VY-dorff said applic
ants for jobs this semester
exceeded 300 showing an in
crease over last semester's
applicants.
It is hoped office jobs,
maintenance work and pos
sibly work in local busi
nesses will be available to the
freshmen soon, Mrs. Wen
dorff said.

is part of the total coordinat
ed scholastic-financial aids

'Independent'
Concept Studied
By RAM Group
The main cabinet of t h e
Residence Association for
Men voted Monday night to
allow the publication of arti
cles in Selleck reflecting dif
ferences in individual atti
tudes in Selleck Quadrangle.
RAM president, Tom Ea
son, stated "The division is
not a faction but a concept of
division in ideas." These two
concepts are the "Indepen
dents" and the "indepen
dents". Should-Be's
"The Independents are the
frustrated group of should-be
fraternity men that run
around worrying about every
thing, and do nothing," ac
cording to Eason. Although
they are active, they soon
run into a wall of "indepen
dents" and 50 per cent ideas
on vast projects.
The RAM Main Cabinet is
under the firm conviction that
the "Independents" are cry
ing to be established and are
initiating such action.
The "independents" are
those with a boarding-house
complex. They firmly believe
that Selleck is a place to eat,
study and sleep. Eason says
that they are not followers,
but leaders in the fine art of
doing nothing.
Cold-Water Throwers
"The chances of others are
being ruined by the "indepen
dents" and they are decreas
ing the value of education."
They are the perennial cold
water throwers who always
sink the proposals of even
the soundest ideas, according
to Eason.
Eason's further comment
was "these men will never
operate in an efficient house
organization because it is
strictlv affainst their beliefs
"The unaffiliated student is !
too independent when he can j
not see beyond eating, sleep- j
ing and studying," continued i

Eason. "Of course the first
consideration is to study; but
there is more to an education
than study."
"Each student must find
the right balance between
scholastic and extra-curricular
activities."
The situation at present, in
Selleck lays between the two
separate and radically op
posed groups and the future
is in the establishment of ef
fective house organizations,

Guest Editorships
Goal of Panelists
Five University coeds have
been appointed to Mademoi

lege Board of 819 students
from 314 colleges.
The University representa

They will report to Mad

struct the students in public
speaking training and prac
tice. Elective Course
"Many of the agriculture
students have said that such
a speech course should be a
requirement for graduation,M
said Dr. F. E. Eldridge, asso
ciate director of resident in
struction. "However, we do
not feel that this approach
would be as good as if stu
dents can elect to take a
speech course."
The eight week course to
be offered will be a supple
ment to other speech courses
through the department of
speech and not a substitute.
Dr. Eldrige explained that
the course would meet once
each week with members giv
ing lectures on building, de
livery and success of
speeches. In addition the club
members would offer explan
ation and criticism while the
student practiced.
Five Dollars
There will be a five dollar
fee to cover the cost of ma
terial. At the Feb. 23 meeting
members will be present to
explain the course. Attend
ance at the organization meet
ing would not obligate any
students to continue with the
course.
"We are not trying to solL
but rather offer, available
service to those who want it,"
Eldrige explained.
This course will be for men
in agriculture but if home
economics majors are inter
ested, a similar plan might
we worked out with the Toast
mistresses Club.
