Trapped Air Hiccups - or hiccoughs, thougl college students may most ofter associate them with pink elephants - are sudden intakings of air it spasms. They are caused by a sud den contraction of the diaphragn and the closing of the glottii (that's the opening between thi pharynx and the larynx, for yot who have not completed your ed ucations). The hiccup h a p p e n i when the air runs into the close< glottis. Irritation in the esophagus o: around its opening in the stomacl causes the diaphragm to go int< spasms. Too much to eat, choking difficult swallowing, or somethinj in the organs themselves can star it. Hiccups are dangerous symp toms in pneumonia, typhoid fever Is nonconformity among colleg students a sign of intellectual ma turity - or adolescent rebellion? Should the liberal-arts colleg try to teach students to adjust t the world as it is, or should the be encouraged to revolt? These and many related quer tions are dealt with by Dea Everett Lee Hunt in THE RE VOLT OF THE COLLEGE IN TELLECTUAL - a fascinatin, account of the changes that hav taken place in the mores, attitude: and feelings of college student especially since certain of the s< called prestige colleges of liberi arts have been able to select thei students from among the top ir tellectuals.

In his story of the perennial a rebellion of youth Dean Hunt pre- ir sents many concrete examples of h e student customs, attitudes, actions, ft 0 and expressions of values. He also 01 Y considers the alumni and their in fluence on the intellectual com munity. With warmth and wisdom ti n he discusses three successive eras e] in the schooling of American col- t] lege students- guarded education, s, g conformity to accepted ways, and d e intellectual individualism. y , Among significant changes in rT c a m p u s life examined by the author is the abolition of many il sororities, senior honorary socie- A r ties, class organizations, and senti i- mental ceremonies. He also con it siders the changes in fraternity - life, including attacks on them by is student intellectuals and the im n pact of the issue of discrimination. >f Dean Hunt notes in THE RE- v ,k VOLT OF THE COLLEGE IN- a )f TELLECTUAL that student pub ~ lications have largely shifted their focus from campus and local con- a cern to national and international }h issues, but have continued to at tack all parietal rules and restric- v tions. He discusses the reaction of college-town residents and of visit- q ing parents to individualistic ex- 1 hibitions by nonconforming stu- a dents. He also gives an account of a student feelings about themselves and points out that while many a students are self - confident and a often condescending in their inter- F personal relationships, numerous a others develop an inferiority com plex, seek psychiatric help, and b complain of loneliness, intolerable d competition, and a lack of accept- o able values.
