I will complete my studies and will graduate this May within his fouryear prescribed time (send me cigars, wine, and women). Big deal! Right. What does that make me or anyone else if he finishes a four-year college study in three years or in ten years. Mungo is in a right position to make such statements and to ignore blindly the many unfortunate students who are desperately struggling and working full- and part-time jobs to help pay his or her way through school. Also, he does not take into consideration the pressure on the typical college student, such as the uncertainty of future job and career prospects and the anxiety provoking task of deliberating on an area of study that will meet his goals and expectations of a sound and secure future.

His attack on too many graduate students and his degradation of the pursuit of students working on socalled superfluous and unimportant areas of study is entirely unjustifiable and shows overtones of dictatorship. He said the state should not subsidize a student who wants to get a Ph.d. in medieval history, as an example. Maybe if he would read several volumes of medieval history and the Dark Ages himself he will find out what level of conscious and state of mind he is in.

Mungo's remark printed in your paper on Jan. 27 on page 2. He said, "A graduate degree is a nice thing, like a trip to the Orient or buying a new Cadillac. But the taxpayer should not bear the expense of a luxury education." My own statement is, "A graduate degree is a necessary thing and the taxpayer, if he desires capable people in the national and state industries, should be willing to maintain the educational subsidy through the master's level." A person who has reached the * master's level has the better ability to keep up with technology. He also has the maturity and experience to be of some use to society in his chosen field. une 01 tne first things a B.S. graduate learns when he steps out into the world is that he knows little, if anything. The holder of a master's degree at least is trained in some specialization. Certainly, I too am against those who would make going to school an end in itself. However, those who are in serious pursuit of the knowledge and skills he needs in order to serve the state and nation should not be lumped into the category of "professional student." Peter G.
