Students Favor Courses .Taught - "3y Profs From: Ovn Tenth o oil Teacher-Authors Know Material "Cold" and Generally Blaintain Impersonal Attitude Toward Their Works; Greater Clarity Of Exposition of Subject-Matter Seen as Definite Gain. "He laiows the stuff so well he doesn't need his book at all," seems to be the general opinion about prof essors who teach from textbooks they have written. According to students who have had the opportunity of. studying under such instructors, men who teach from their own books are at a great advantage over men using unfamiliar texts, and their classes benefit accordingly. Freshmen study mathematics from the book written by Pro fessors Browne and Lasley, both of whom teach freshman math ematics. As is always the case with co-authors, both of them have a slightly different attitude towards their work; They , both know the contents "cold," to quqfe their students, and have no use for indices, tables of con tents, or any other references except logarithmic tables. Even hyper-critical students admit that it would be requiring too much of a professor-author to expect him to memorize loga rithms. Browne Is Impersonal Whenever Dr. Browne has oc casion to refer to the authors or to quote the book he merely says, "The man did this on pur pose,' or "They want you to learn 4t Hhis way." Of 'course this usually draws a respectful smile from the class, which, in turn, he sometimes acknowledges with a quick, gracious flicker of a smile, without interrupting his conversation. Dr. Lasley is equally as im personal with regard to having written the book. However, he does say, "Well, I didn't write this chapter ?" when some con troversy arises about the work. He refers to the authors as "we," never as 1. These two men, as well as every other man in their situa tion, seem to consider a typo graphical error a personal in- jury, out never get rumea, or make any further ado about the matter. Whenever Dr. Howell Students Rally The largest move in Carolina history in favor of the honor system at the University has been instigated by a group of students who have expressed their pledged support of the honor system in the following letter. These students have acted not with the motives of group rec ognition but with the spirit of cooperation in an effort to stim ulate a complete campus move ment in support of the honor system. Endeavoring to ex press their faith in the system and to dispel any fears that may have arisen as to its ef fectiveness in the light of re cent unfavorable episodes, the students have composed the statement below and affixed their names. The attached list of names is only a part of the number of students who have signified their intentions to cooperate in the campus-wide move. . The same letter will be circulated vigorously by interested cam paigners. The letter is worded as fol- ' r-V - - lows: of the English department comes across such an error he observes pointedly, "The man must have had too big a night before he typed this." He, too, knows his book so well that reference to it is almost unnecessary. He does not require his students to quote his book exactly, as Dr. Dashiell, head of the psychology department, does of his. How ell asks fairly general questions and expects general but correct replies. Demands Exactness Dr. Dashiell uses a method that is not as popular with his students. Accuracy is his cry when students quote his book. He pbliges his students to study the book intensely, which they do with the relish one can expect of psychology students. While the classes are thus absorbed in his book, Dashiell stands aloof with an attitude similar to, "What's in this book is all right. Study it and get the best bene fit from its well-written pages. Actually Dr. Dashiell is quite impersonal on the question of authorship. He rarely makes mention of his relations with it. Yet in a subtle way all his own he manages to convey to the stu dents a desire for them to know whothe i author , really is? : " Probably the greatest advan tage that teaching (their own texts has for professors is their ability to interpret them better and obtain for the class the full est meaning and value from them. An author knows best how he wants his work ex pressed, and it is only natural that he, better than anyone else, can give it full justice. Errors, difficult passages or phrases, and ideas generally difficult to con vey in print are made simpler and clearer to the student when the author of that idea expresses it orally and gives it the proper explanation. Dr. Erich Zimmermann, who worked so long and so diligently (Continued on last page) To Support HonorSystem In Open "Fellow Students: "This open letter bears wit ness to the conviction that theLgroups-in the past, still we give honor system is fundamentally right in its spirit and concep tion and that the enforcement of this system must be greatly improved on this campus. "We hereby assert that we will uphold the honor system to the extent of checking all forms of dishonesty which come in our way, by reporting the offense to the Student council. It is sug gested that the most satisfac tory procedure of reporting is to call the attention of one other student, in the class to the per son who is cheating and ; that these two persons jointly re port the offense to the Student council. It is our hope that this attitude and this procedure will become so prevalent on the cam pus that all of those students who have a true sense of honor will take the opportunity of exerting this form of check on all offenders against the prin ciple of honor. "Although we are not in any sense acting in the capacity of proctors and although we will SALEM PRESIDENT WILL SP HERE Dr. Howard Rondthaler to Speak to Y. M. C. A.
