LEARNING I Is the vast horde of students in L our American colleges today getting M an education, or are they just drifting along under a false impression, and trying to make themselves think t0 they are really being educated ? We re often wonder. w In the first place, we think that ni "getting" an education is not in vogue. When we say "get," we mean to that a student is really working, 01 digging, and searching for knowl- V\ edge. The average college, and m surely our trend in educational be- Qf liefs is hidden in the shibboleths of _ standardization, tradition, information, routine, and credits. When a w student applies to a dean or regis- a. trar for admission into a college, he ll> is not asked "What do you think fo of this" ? or "How would you meet ne this situation"? but rather he is alj asked "How many credits of such to and such a nature do you have"? We are quite ready to admit that this P1 has become the custom, and it would Re be hard and illogical to break away by all at once. But, do you really think nc that such a system of procedure in ho our educational institutions, and at< such an ideal is the correct one? Is wi this the way to "get" an education ? th Surely something could be done to at change our attitudes as to what edu- cr cation is for, and try to initiate ch another procedure. One of the main and potent in- if fluences in making our educational th procedure of such a nature is the w; practice of the "lecture" method. He The student walks into class; sits w< back, and the professor lectures on er History, English, or some other sub- St ject, while he is presumably listening, but most likely sleeping, or letting his mind wander far away into some other realm of thought. The professor is very likely giving valuable information, but is the student taking it in ? He needs to be stirred to seek the information for himself, and not be content for the sti professor to give it to him in whole- ar sale fashion, and then at an appointed time the student be re- th quired to give it back in similar th "doses." What is college for if it ev does not teach its students to think, an and to think for themselves ? Think- of ing is the very heart of all true edu- c? cation. If we are not going to do th just that, we must be still under the U spell of medieval classical authority; we are still merely relayers of in- m formation, receiving opinions which ta are being swallowed whole, unchal- it lenged and undigested. 01 1 Body and mind were made for ar action. Our whole ei.titv was made to for action, and action plus. No one "c can possibly become intensely in- us terested if he is made the unwilling cli receptacle of ideas which are not his own. Any normal person resents, or at least he should resent in the ~~ fullest denunciation, a system under which he must cram, and recite back at the professor facts which are dull and uninteresting, entirely severed from life, and void of any creative activity. Under this system student and professor har(1,y ever come into an intimate relationship with each other. The relation between the two is strictly official. We crave a practice and a system, if one is necessary, where the student can talk with, commune, and really come to associate with his professor in a friendly, "learning" spirit which will be conducive of greater learning 01? the part of the student. We students need it, and need it badly. May the day hasten when a college student can go to his professor and talk over with him his problems, not only those connected with his studies, but also problems concerned with his daily life outside of the classroom ; when the student will be impelled by a desire to learn, and to do creative thinking of his own accord. This may be fantastical, but we are inclined to believe that it is needed in order for our students to become educated in the true sense of the word. Let's try some other way; won't hurt to experiment a little. v. s. c. A STAMP VENDOR? The University Canteen has recently added many improvements to its equipment, but one of the most urgently needed has been unfortunately overlooked* Since the University postoflfice stays open such short hours each day, what could benefit the students more than having an automatic stamp vendor in the canteen ? All of the hotels and practically all of the drug stores have them and here's hoping that the canteen officials will take steps to install one in the near future. OPEN FORUM I . r t. Editor: Please give me space in your columns, say a word about a matter that has ceived much comment of late but hich has done very little good. The atter that I have in mind is relative the improvement of the walks on ir campus. Mr. Editor, I room in foodrow College and the particular atter that I have in mind is thelfixing the parking space in front of Burney allege through which we have to alk. In rainy weather this place is veritable mudhole. Now, I have red in the country all of my life here I came to Carolina and I have iver seen a farmer who had any pride out him that allowed his barnyard get into any such slushy condition. I would not dare to suggest that the ace be paved; for if that were sugsted, it would immediately be met r the old plea that the legislature will >t give us sufficient funds. We do ask," >wever, that the legislature approprie enough that we can be furnished ith four or five planks to lay across e mudholes when it rains. This would least assure us of something solid to oss upon and save us the trouble of anging shoes every time we come in. Mr. Legislator, lumber is cheap, so you are afraid that if you give us e money with which to pave the alks that you will lose votes back >me, then give us a few planks until e can ge\ a legislature that will proply attend to the real needs of its ate University 1 Signed: J. Woodrow Lewis. Ten. 28?Room 14. u. s. c. A CORRECTION To all whom it may concern:? There have been numerous libelous atements concerning me flowing ound the campus recently. I wish to take this occasion to deny e authorship or any knowledge of e author, or any connection whater with the letter that was recently tonymously sent to the Sports Editor "The Record" and which so bitterly :coriated Coach William Laval and e present athletic authorities of the niversity. We feel that while the present adinistration occasionally makes miskes, as all human agencies do, while is in power it deserves the full co>eration of the student body, alumni id faculty. Even if we were opposed the present regime still we would >t resort to the dastardly method of ling anonymous letters to express our sapprobation.
