fifteen dollars per student is a ve?ry menial sum. If one thing is in need of improvement^ it is the library. For •• liho’ pu]:^o^n:ii4.a:s supposci to serve it it one of the least used buildings on campus. This is not, in fact, the students fault. The study area is inadequate and noisy. The books are arranged in such a manner that the same related subjects are on opposite floors- For example, European History is on the first floor - Political Science and foreign relations are on the second floe I feel that if the library were to be divided in separate study rooms - each containing groups of related subjects, philosopjiy and religjon in one room, physcial sciences in another, etc.- this would be much more condusive to study and individual research," John Reed- Junior: "l would improve the quality and qualifi of some professors at Elon College, On- reason this needs to be improved is th&i there are a few professors that are too old to teach. Maybe when they were young they were very excellent professo. but now they have lost their capacity to teach on the college level. The second reason is that there are a few professors who are not able to teach at all, and probably never vrill develop th; talent. The third reason is that thero are a few professors who autamat.innlly give you a grade when you walk in the class, depending on whether he or she likes you or not. The fourth reason is that if these professors, which •* I have mentioned in the first reasons, continue- here, it will make it almost impossible for one who is on academic probation to ever get off since the professors usually discreminate against these "probationites." The fifth reason is that those who do make good grades will lose interest if their intellectual capacity ia nor impeocws upon." These answers to this months question are very good, and they all contain some merit of truth. I personally feel that each and every one of these answers should be looked into and some suitable action bo taken to improve the conditions mentioned. ¥e, the students, roed some explanation to why these things are allowed to exist.at Elon College, Think about it. See you again next month with an entirely new aspect of college life which you, the students, will need to consider. EXCHANGE COLUMN by Gail Hettel Hungry?? If you think that wo have problems, read the following article taken from the Wake Forest Student newspaper; Now reall;^, I'tr, Slater, this is getting ridiculous. We students of Wake Forest are not a querulous lot by nature. Even-tempered, optimistic, always anxious to say a good word if one can truth fully be said, we are universally acclaimed a pleasant group to deal vrith — ask anyone who nas^ spoken in chapel lately., but sincc January l9ol whcn^yor worg, we.,comoia here^wlth^opon, arms, i‘Ir Slater, the rood set out so temptingly on the cafeteria lines has been — dare I say It?- degonerating in quality as the time slips by. Please don't think mo picking petty points, but after consoling hysterical freshman for several hours the other day, I felt perhaps a word or two was needed.
