Speakers at the meeting were Albert Ellis, L. C. Bruce, Jack Pool, Julien Warren, and Phil Hammer. CAMPUS KEYBOARD 0 f course, we haven't even conr sidered the idea of our being a Ph.D. man some day but we've noticed, along with hundreds of other students, how much em phasis has been placed on that magic little appendage to your scholarly name, and wondered. The reason we wondered is this: how in the dickens . does one of those things contribute to a man's ability to teach? We hear all the time of college grad uates being turned out of teach ing jobs because they haven't that celestial title "Ph.D." after their name, and we can't make things jibe. Now, we know professors in music, for instance, have won their Ph.D. degrees by writing at length on some uninspired piece of miisic about which no one knows or cares anything. Yet they are experts on the vague little subject and win their degree and then they are just hot stuff and can get jobs like nobody's business when there are jobs. As far as we know, on the other hand, there is no such de gree for proficiency at teaching.

The Yackety Bucs were only able to eke out a miserly seven point victory- The final score was 13-6. So what? Ph.D. man. He just knew how to teach, that's all, and was sym pathetic and knew how to make us fledglings understand. On the other hand, the worst instructor we ever had was some bird who had a bunch of degrees after his name (earned through -intensive research into some dusty corner of literature). He might have knoWn all about Theadoric Ob scuranto, but' he didn't know how to teach the subject, which was plain ordinary corn-field English. One thing must be borne in mind, however, and that is the fact that modern education de mands division of labor and ex perts in certain fields. But that does not. obliterate the equally important fact that no matter how expert you are on something foreign, you can't teach a bunch of undergraduates anything to speak of if you don't know how to make them understand the immediate problems. Maybe we'll want a Ph.D. some day and find a real thrill in chasing down the life history of a medieval convict. But modern education doesn't deal in thrills and we'll be as incompetent at teaching as the rest P.G.H.

"Don't you think these iold gentlemen on the walls chewed tobacco rather than smoked when this motion against smok ing was passed?" was the ques tion asked by representative Durf ee when it was proposed to abolish smoking in order to keep alive the tradition of the vener able ancients. A Thousand Times The Phi men at length con cluded that they gathered to en joy themselves and by a small margin decided to retain their recently acquired privilege of weed burning. A bill opposing the United States' participation in the Olym CHEER pics to be held in Germany was defeated after a short oration by. one officer who declared, "It is time for politics and athletics to quit mixing." A warm debate ensued after, the introduction by Billy Seawell of a bill favoring a uni-camme-ral legislature. Each speaker arose to correct statements made by the preceeding orator and for a time it seemed that no one knew the subject.
