Mr, Emanuel Alexander of 2 6 6 Stuyvesant Avenue is president of the Brooklyn Chapter, CHATS WITH THE DEAN This year I am mainly interested in you, I am speaking about more than your reaction to the student handbook. What you think about the regulations of the college is of less concern to me than the improvement of your know ing what to do and say at the proper time, I am speaking mostly of your preparation as leaders of the future, co-workers in the betterment of human relations, etc, I would like to enlist the voluntary cooperation of every student to learn what is socially cor rect at the dining table, at the next dmce and football game, at receptions, teas, etc. How about brushing up on the latest form in etiquette, appear ance, etc? Maybe it’s time to check ourselves and try to learn just where, the sore and bright spots are in our personalit ies, It can be a painful, but useful ex perience, Try to think where you got the feelings and attitudes you have. In some cases, you will be able to trace them back to some happy or un- happy incident. In other cases you may not be able to e.xplain your attitudes. The experience that produced them has long been forgotten, even though it lingers in your emotions. An in direct e.xperience may cause an emo tion. Many fears and emotions do not make sense, but they may come to you through some experience that makes your nervous system act as though it did. If your attitudes are without justification, it is time to be gin to associate pleasant experiences W'ith them and see if you can change your reactions. Our groundless fears, our hates, comijlexes and jealousies are always barriers to happy successful living. But during college they become particular ly difficult problems.
