When Mary Louise's date brought her home afterwards, the friend had not yet come in. Mary Louise asked her date to come in for a while, and then she called up to her mother to find out if "we could raid icebox." Her mother, mistaking the meaning of the "we," called out, "You two come on up to bed." There isn't much difference in freshmen from year to year. You can tell a freshman girl because she says, "Stopt" and you can tell a freshman boy just as easily be cause he stops. -The Clemson Tiger 1st Boy: "Did you take a nap?" 2nd Boy: "Naw, is one missing?" -The Clemson Tiger The dean of women at a large co-educational college r4cently be gan an important announcement to the student body, as follows: "The president of the college and I have decided to stop necking on the campus." -Rainbows Mandy: "Ah can't come to work tomorrow, ma'm.

Wolfgang has graciously tures for the Gamecock on subjeci article which appears below, Wol hand account of the German syst will be on similar subjects. Wolfg the University of Frankfort ftext torate in economics.) So this is it: America! For two months I have been in this coun try, seeing, listening and seeing again; but the vast number of new impressions still leave my mind blank as to what I like best (a question often put before me). Even after completion of a whole year of study in this new world, I may not be able to give a satis factory answer to this question-to myself or to others. Expressed in aimple words, the first reaction of a European upon seeing America for the first time is "how different everything is!" This difference reaches into the deepest and most intimate details of any person who, for the first time, ventures the big step from Europe to America, from "the sil very moonlight of traditions and customs into the bright sunshine of actions, possibilities and free dom." The change which affected me the most was the sudden transfer from a European university to an American institution of higher learning. To you, all this may seem nat ural, or better still, habitual: the life on a campus, your way of studying and learning. Yet every day I find new things and new ways of doing things. German Education To illuatrate this let me Present. a short sketch of the German edu cational system. At the age of six, children en ter a public elementary school where they remain for four years. After this the student goes through a nine year period of high school with minutely prescribed schedules, the final exam of which compares Law Instructor Doing NYU Graduate Work George S.

In his first rgang offers to readers a first em of education. Other features ang will return to Germany and September to complete his doc closely to the requirement for an A.B. or B.S. degree here. The universities, many of which are hundreds of years old, have nothing to compare with the cain pus in America. The courses can be chosen by the student without interference, but of course there are certain ways and requirements which lead you in a smooth way toward a master or doctor's de gree. Classes are held by the profes sors in a way of lectures, with no quizzes or questions given, except in some very specialized courses. The attendance of these lectures is purely voluntary, you may not have to go to class once a semes ter. But when the time for the preliminary or final examinations comes around, you will regret hav ing missed too many classes. German Examinations Each exam lasts from one to three weeks, and it is almost im possible to pass unless you have heard the lectures, which are mainly provided to help the stu dent towards his private studies and reading. Reading assignments are not given, but the amount of outside reading to be done is rather more or less what the assignments given here are. If a professor speaks on a certain subject, the student re fers to books regarding that sub ject. Since the average class hours per week ranges from 25 to 35, a great part of the studying has to be done during vacations, which last for a longer period in Ger many than they do here. Student-Faculty Relations A factor to be considered very much is the closer contact here be tween students and faculty mem bers. In classes of 200 and 300 students personal contact is very limited, though it becomes a bet ter relationship as the student passes into higher semesters and when classes - due to a natural selective process - become smaller. Social activities at present are at a minimum. You may get to know a few students, but as I said before, nothing like campus life can be detected. Going back to Germany next year -- that is something 1 shall miss. The art of separating work and pleasure, tenseness and re laxation, is not mastered in Euro pean universities to the extent it is here. What would be hard to American students in Europe is the lack of football. But that I shall have to discuss some other time. Om%U.Um*U*U*U a U ... .
