More Professors
(cont'd, from p. 2)
Another professor would enable
the department to teach more
courses, thus meeting the student
demand. Otherwise, students like
myself are going to get fed up
with the lack of courses and lose
interest in the department.
Unfortunately, the
economics department request
has been denied by the college,
which claims that another
member is not necessary. The
college obviously does not
understand the magnitude of the

who have had difficulty in
enrolling in economics courses

Guilford College must address
this problem and must pursue the
addition of another professor for
the economics department.

The burning question still
remains: are honors students
smarter than their fellow
students? Do they consider
themselves smarter?
Dr. Sheridan Simon, a
physics professor who teaches
an honors class, stresses that it
is basically a matter of attitude
that makes honors students
different. He believes that
honors students want to learn for
the excitement of it, not for the
monetary benefits it will bring
in the future.
Simon has also noticed that
(cont'd, from p. 4)
most honors students he has
taught are more motivated and
more conscientious about their
classwork and discussions. He
believes that most students
eventually like learning for its
own sake, but honors students
generally discover this a year or
two before other students.
Connie Mongold, a
freshman enrolled in the honors
program, explained why honors
students might be more
motivated. "We have more of a
commitment to studies and do
well because we have done well
in the past and hope to do just
as well in the future." The
5
difference between honors and
other students "isn't that' we're
smarter than anyone else, it's
what we do with what we've
got."
Thus, dedication and
realization of one's potential are
important factors in success as
an honors student.
The most basic difference
between honors students and
their classmates is not the belief
that one group may consist of
"nerds" or "superiors," but the
fact that honors students, as a
group, have already determined
their priorities, and academics
are usually at the top of the list.
