WESTERN UNIV. PAPER ATTACKS LACK OF STUDY "Activities Replace Primary Pur pose of College," Says Univ ersity of Washington FACULTY IS TO BLAME Faculty Curriculum is Reason Given for Newspaper Attack (The New Student Service) ,Football having passed off the boards, curricular reform is again engaging stu dent attention in several colleges. The undergraduate reformers have taken fair notice of the criticisms overflowing cur rent periodicals and have adopted a vig orous style in attacking their campus problems. The University tof Washington Daily, af - ter publishing a series of student critic isms of the university and its work, has - summarized by blaming the faculty "for the lack of intellectual stimulus and study encouragement prevalent on the campus." The main draw-back it conceives as "the appalling over-emphasis on activities for activities' sake, that insistence on acti vities at Washington which results in the average collegian striving to be an acti vity hound from freshman days to the end of college." The faculty is blamed for having failed to eliminate super fluous activities, and the Daily presents the problem as one for the teachers to solve. President C. D. Gray of Bates Col lege has appointed a student committee of twelve to examine the curriculum and changes. The students will* carry on the work begun by a senior committee last year. Three other groups are working on the sam4 problem, one composed of teachers, another of alumni, and a thirn serving as advisory of outsiders. Students in the College for Women at Western Reserve University have selected representatives to serve as their agents in presenting to the faculty com plaints against the curriculum. They are members of the student council, who will work in conjunction with a faculty com mittee, to whom they wi1l make recom mendations after passing on student com plaints. The undergraduate curriculum com mittee at Haverford College is drafting its annual report to the faculty. Its scope is wide, and its suggestions will deal not only with the curriculum proper, but also with the conduct of student affairs and such matters as improvement of library lighting conditions, and prompt dismis sal of classes. The main points in an undergraduate report just presented to the faculty at The College of the City of New York propose revision of certain prescribed courses in order to permit greater free dom in the choice of electives, and the institution of honor courses. In develop ing these points the student investigators became critical of some of the existing courses. Smart Student: Do you charge for the water in the coffee? Resteraunter: That, of course, is thrown in.
