I; i ?AGE TWO THE DAILY TAR HEEti SUNDAY, JANUARY 6, 1952 !1 -1 HI lit u1 Hi : i, I 3,1 fi i S! ' 1 i: i 1 4 O vertime? - We object to Saturday classes because they are on Satur- ' day. However, we also object to the fact that the Board of Trustees insists that the quarter's work be measured in class ' days, and not by accomplishments " of students. The fifty-class-day quarter is a waste of time. The classsystem is bad. It allows students to concur in the belief that they are getting an education when they are only getting their lessons. If we are going on a academic forty-hour week, how about overtime? . . Nonplus A Frenchman by, the name of TEnfant intended that the com position of the central area of Washington should be five-pointed. The five points are the Capi tol, the White House, Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monu ment, and the Jeff erson Memor ial. Such symbolism could have been perfect had not the Jefferson- Memorial been the last of the five to be constructed. It should be in the very center, symbolizing a philosophy essen tial to human progress. On the interior walls of the beautiful structure at the south side of the Tidal Basin are four panels, lettered in bronze. One of them reads: "Almighty God hath created the mind free. All attempts to influence it by temporal punish ments or burthens ... are a departure from the plan; of the Holy Author of our religion . . . no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any relig ious worship or ministry or shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or beliefs. But all men shall be free to profess and by argument main tain, their opinions in matters of religion. I know but one code of morality for men whether acting singly or collectively." So said Thomas Jefferson. This is the man who declared: "I have sworn upon the altar of God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man.?' , Jpfferson stands as a beacon desperately, needed today. His philosophy of 'free thought lights the way from an evil corrosion that threatens us as individuals, as a nation, as part of the world. On another panel in the Me morial! appears the following which might well me memorized by every thinking person: 'T am not an advocate for fre quent changes in laws and con stitutions. But laws and institu tions must go hand in hand with the progress of the human mind. As that becomes more develop ed, more enlightened, as new On Campus Fraternity men on German campuses have been ordered by their alumni officers to practice duelling secretly once a week in case of possible challenges. In two cases, where fraternities have disobeyed their elders, they have lost their houses. The sport was banned by oc cupational authorities, because it was thought to promote German militarism and nationalism. But the ban is being increasingly evaded. ' The scarred cheek is a mark of hon" : . by Horry Snook discoveries are made, new truths discovered and manners and opinions change, with the change of circumstances, institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times. We might' as well require a man to wear still the coat which fitted him when a boy as civilized society to re w main ever under the regimen of their barbarous ancestors. For those who will not Idly watch humankind betray itself, Jefferson's words carry the fine thread of hope which is our only chance. . It is not easy to forego the im mediate comforts of tradition. But the man who warms himself before a fire without going for new logs will suddenly find the fuel consumed and the flame dead. And he might well freeze sooner than he can kindle an other blaze.

In the world of knowledge di rection seems to be left up to the student. The curriculum ap pears to be concerned with main taining some sort of balance be tween the classic inertia of rWeIl its always been in the require ment and the intellectual fad of "But this is the latest thing.' In this struggle between rig idity and fluidity in the aca demic world, the student often feels forgotten. The forgotten .. feeling erupts in such questions as "Why should I be required to take a language? . Fm majoring in accounting.", or "I'm in his tory. Why should I be required ' to take algebra?"
