They will follow Moorehead’s quarter system and will teach March 20 through June 18. Dr. John Hough, head of the MHC education department, says this ex perience will expose students to other cultures, many of which are represented in the American class room situation. He is hopeful that in coming years more student teach ers will go abroad. MHC could have its own program if as many as 10 students would go but, at the pres ent, 20 is the maximum number.

After two minor recordings, London Records contracted them to record an entire album. The release of the album was met by an ex tremely enthusiastic reaction from coast to coast. Following the release of “House of the Rising Sun,” as a ’45,’ which DJ’s across the country had reported as being the strongest cut on the album, both the album and the ‘45’ took off like rocket ships for the moon. The Pink is presently touring the country along with other groups and playing to thousands. The four members of this “Hot Pink Happening” are Kelly Green, harmonica and drums; Gary Thomp son, lead guitarist; Satch Harris, rhythm guitar; and Rick Stevens, drums. So polish up your rose-colored glasses and be down at Fine Arts at 8:00 p.m.; they’ll strike you pink. Elections for 1971-72 Student Government Association officers will be held on Friday, March 6.

There are three positions which are currently uncontested. These are speaker of the Women’s Council, Treasurer, and Chief Justice. How ever write-in votes are permissable. The candidates will present their re spective positions at chapel on Thursday, March 5. “With five con testants for president”, current SGA President Danny Ray said, “the race shapes up as a good one.” ‘Podunks’ May Benefit Their Students Most Editor’s note: The following is an article from The Chronicle of Higher Education in Washington, D. C. The nation’s top-ranked and most selective colleges may be the least beneficial to students, according to Arthur W. Chickering, director of an American Council on Education study of student development at small col leges. “The most productive educational outcomes for the Individual for the country probably take place in those ‘Podunk’ colleges where the propor tion of uncommon or non-traditional students is high and where, be cause of their numbers, they are re cognized, encouraged, and helped,” he told a session of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Mr. Chickering surveyed entering freshmen in 1965 and retested them in 1969 as they were about to gra duate from college. Most students change in much the same way, regardless of the kind of college they attend or the kind of students they are, he found. “Several common patterns of change appeared,” he said. “Auto nomy, awareness of emotions and impulses and readiness to express them. Interest In the arts and humani ties, tolerance for ambiguity and complexity, and religious liberalism all increased, whereas concern for material possessions and practical achievement had decreased.” These changes, he said, occurred at all types of colleges, including those with numerous regulations and close supervision, traditional col leges, and non-traditional colleges with flexible curriculums and few rules. The changes also occurred among different types of students—“among very liberal students and among very conservative ones, among authori tarians and anti-authoritarians, among the the activists and the alienated, among the activities and the alie nated, among the silent majority and the apathetic,” Mr. Chickering said. “It is clear that the college student is no tabula rasa,” he concluded. “He is no clay for the potter, no vessel to be filled, no lamp to be lighted. He’s already lit.” Thus, to judge the effectiveness of various types of colleges, Mr. Chic kering said, one must look not at the vast majority of students but at two minorities or “deviants:” “The student whose development has not reached the level of his peers and of the college.” “The student whose development has gone beyond the level of the college and of the other students.” The most important Index of a college’s success and social con tribution may well be the quality of its dropouts, not the quality of Its graduates,” Mr. Chickering said. Compared with students who stay in college, he said, “a substantial proportion of those who leave are more autonomous, more complex, and less concerned with practical achievement and material success.” The successful college, Mr. Chic kering said, helps these students “to clarify their own purposes and poten tials” and “encourages them to move on to more developmentally fruitful settings.” If the college “confirms In such students suspicions of their own idiosyncrasy, instability, of illness, and if will neither recognize their condition nor respond to it, then its potential for damage is great,” he said. The second most important Indica tor of a college’s success is what happens to those students who stay, particularly those who are not realy ready for college, Mr. Chickering added. “The college which helps such students to survive and to ac celerate their own development through their struggle to survive, makes a significant contribution,” he said. “The numbers of fellowship win ners, the proportion of graduate who go on to be great men in the arts and humanities, in the social and natural sciences, in business and politics—these are much more a function of student self-selection and institutional selection at entrance than of any contribution made by the college,” he said. Mr. Chickering said teaching prac tices have a great deal to do with the impact a college has on its students. Classes that consist pri marily of lectures, student prepara tion that Is primarily memorization, and studying for “extrinsic reasons,” such as getting a good grade, cause student to be “more practical-minded and make less progress in becoming autonomous Individuals able to ex press their impulses and to tolerate complexity,” he explained. “Conversely, when more class time is devoted to open exchange, when class assignments require the exer cises of the higher mental activities, and when studying Is done for In trinsic reasons, then the develop ment of autonomy, readiness to ex press impulses, and complexity of outlook increases, while concern for practical achievement drops.”
