Page 2 COLUMNS December 23, 1967 Editorial Comment U)1 Jrs 'f-ha.'t uau, fyif'S, iba.iict^ X Faculty Attitude The Administration and benefactors of Lxjuisburg College Uke to think of their favorite institution as being a small, congenial little family. Priding themselves (as they have the right to) on having a ratio of 16 students to each instructor, opportunity for individual attention to each student should be great. However, the student faculty relationships at this college some how fall short of this mark. We realize that professors are nearly as busy outside class as the students are, but there seems to be a lack of communication both in and out of class. Of course, teachers teU us we must ask questions in class and ask for extra help if we need it. Perhaps if students did show more interest in class and if they went to their professors’ oflSces (if they’re in) for con ferences, both teacher and student would imderstand each other better. But many students feel that there is a lack of interest on the part of the teachers. There is a feeling that the teacher often simply lectures and doesn’t care whether the student passes or fails, and could care even less about the student as an individud. We hope this is not true, but if it isn’t, we certainly wish the faculty would show us that they do care. We wonder if they realize how much a httle individual attention from them can mean to the students—quite pos sibly the difference in remaining in college or dropping out. A good teacher can provide inspiration, friendship, and a shoulder to lean on in time of stress. We suggest that the professors call students in for individual con ferences more often and make them feel free to discuss grades, college life, and life in general. We realize that a few of the teachers are mutually interested in, and do their utmost for; the students. We thank them for their efforts, and sincerely hope that teachers and students alike will try to make Louisburg College a community! ! It*s Rough...

Work this summer in the forests of Germany, on construc tion in Austria, on farms in Ger many, Sweden and Denmark, on road construction in Norway, in in dustries in France and Germany. Well, there are these jobs avail able, as well as jobs in Ireland, Switzerland, England, France, Italy, and Holland open by the consent of the governments of these countries to American university students coming to Europe next summer. For some years students have made their way across the Atlantic to take part in the actual life of the people of these countries. The success of this project has caused a great deal of interest and support both in America and Europe. Every year, the program has been expanded to include many more stu dents and jobs. Already many stu dents have made application for next summer jobs. American-Euro- pean Student Service (on a non profit basis) is offering these jobs to students for Germany, Scandi navia, England, Austria, Switzer land, France, Italy, and Spain. The jobs consist of forestry work, child care work (females only), farm work, hotel work (limited number available), construction work, and some other jobs requiring more spe cialized training. The purpose of this program is to afford the student an opportunity to get into real living contact with the people and customs of Europe. In this way, a concrete effort can be made to learn something of the cul ture of Europe. In return for his or her work, the student wiU receive his or her room and board, plus a wage. However, students should keep in mind that they will be working on the European economy and wages will naturally be scaled accordingly. The working conditions (hours, safety, regulations, legal protection, work permits) will be strictly controlled by the labor min istries of the countries involved. In most cases, the employers have asked especially for American stu dents. Hence, they are particularly interested in the student and want to make the work as interesting as possible. They are all informed of the in tent of the program, and will help the student all they can in deriving the most from his trip to Europe.

MYSTERY STILL UNSOLVED By the Acting Editor On Saturday, September 16, seven MSMers, Mr. Stafford, Mr. and Mrs. Williams and son David took a trip to Camp Rockfish, near Fayetteville, N. C. Mr. Stafford and his group were lost en route but still arrived before Mr. Williams. After all arrived, cabins were claimed, and the camp was ex plored. The first formal meeting was conducted on a raft floating on the lake with the members sprawled over the deck. After electing a sec retary and planning worthwhile pro grams for the next year, the group decided to organize a floating col lege but gave up the idea in favor of performing the more timely task of roasting hot dogs over an open fire. The night was spent discussing everything from the use of profanity to the “I—Thou” relationship as op posed to the “I—It” relationship.

The major gripe concerns drinking and the “drinking rule” of last year. Last year, two female students were expelled for drinking or “being under the influence” on campus. The majority of the students felt that this rule should be changed to fit the times in which we live. The majority of the students, especially the sopho mores, still feel the need for a change. The students feel that drinking is more a “personal problem” than a problem of the school. As long as a student drinks and does not disturb others with his drinking, he should be left alone. When his drinking in fringes upon the rights of another individual, only then, should he be reprimanded by the administration. Many students feel that the Ad ministration has not been very co operative in having the rule modi fied. Several students are of the opinion that the so called “drinking rule” of last year may have “acci dentally” slipped off the Dean’s desk and into the waste-can. The Squirrel feels that if a person can’t hold a beer, he should not drink in the first place. Also, we feel that when a “kid” comes to college and wishes to be treated like an adult, then he should accept the re sponsibilities and adhere to all the rules—including the one on drink ing. However, in my opinion the Administration should define more clearly what is meant by “being un der the influence of alcohol.” The Squirrel If you have a gripe which you want expressed, send a letter to “The Squirrel, Box 787.” “An educated person is one who shows maturity in his everyday life of decisions and comphcations.”— Christine Love. “An educated person is one who knows enough to know he doesn’t know enough.” — Larry Munnik- huysen.
