INCREASING INTEREST SHOWN IN TEACHING Manchester, Ind. — (l.P.) — The number of persons ex pected to do student teaching, this year, at Manchester College is considerably above that of last year, college officials here reveal. Approximately 58 stu dents will do their practice teaching on the secondary level, and 18 in the elementary grades. Last year there were 28 high school student teachers and 14 elementary. Authorities point out that the number of students going into teacher education, on this cam pus, has been on the increase. This year approximately 68 seniors, 108 juniors, 90 sopho mores, and 75 freshmen have indicated their educational goal to be the teaching field. Four schools of the community are now being utilized for the college’s expanded student teacher program. Mrs. Esther M. Ashley, new director of the program, gives several reasons for the expansion trends in this department. Indiana has stepped up the student teaching requirements, she declares. Those students ex pecting to become high school teachers will need eight hours instead of the former four-hour requirement. This requirement becomes effective with the grad uating class of 1950. It is also pointed out that the increased enrollment will mean an increase of students in the field of education. Crowding in certain subject fields leads to a placement problem in the stu dent teacher program. Music, boys’ physical education, and the primary grades seem to be the more popular teaching areas. Faculty, Students Attend Convention was to make the religious pro gram on the campus and in the local churches more meaningful to the student.

"THIS TIME FOR KEEPS" ESTHER WILLIAMS LAURITZ MELCHOIR UNDERGROUND MOVEMENT HOLDS SWAY AT MEREDITH BY DORIS LEE Don’t look now, but there’s an underground movement being organized at Meredith—a move ment to undermine the morale of Meredith students. This is not just a rumor, but there is proof positive that such an under ground is working in full force at Meredith. Exactly who the members of the underground are is not known; they may be brownies, or gremlins, or real live people. Whoever they are, their work establishes the fact that they exist and are a menace to Meredith morale. Evidence of the fact that there is an underground movement at the college is seen everywhere on the campus. For example, the Hut door is always stuck when someone just must get in, and the knob on the door of the day student’s room keeps constantly falling off. One saboteur always empties the coke machine and another hides all the nickels he can find. One underground worker (and this one must be a gremlin puts a “pop” in chew ing gum when one is chewing in the library or drops a book in chapel just when the speaker pauses for an impressive sen tence. Underground work shows up again in the library in the form of the book that is never there when it is needed for a special report or a term paper. Another worker always puts a C on a test when an A is ex pected, and this same worker always see that a pop quiz is given on the morning after a big date. The underground is always busy in its demoralizing in fluence, so be careful; the next victim may be you!
