FROM McVEY HALL TO
THE EDUCATION
BUILDING

THE STUDENT WORKERS
Is it that the student who works for his dally
bread, earning his maintenance at college by
the sweat of his brow, Is shunned by his fellows because they look down on his humble
circumstances; or Is It that he Is exalted by
them for his ambition and energy, and given a
place above all other types of students? Neither
state of affairs Is true, even though some slcck-halre- d
rich will solemnly
son of the would-b- e
prescribe the former treatment, and frantic-eye- d
of virtue and reward
will assert that the latter Instance Is true.
The fact remains that the working student,
although differing from the usual student because of his heavier responsibilities and shortened hours, finds a position in college life that
Is altogether normal.
The fact that he works
Influences two things; his scholastic standing
and his social standing. Opportunities for
study and opportunities for recreation are les
sened. Nevertheless his position In the social
and scholastic worlds Is determined more by the
type of work he does than by the mere Idea
that he works. Such practices as the one of
becoming a student-bootleggor selling worthless articles like fake slide-ruland worm-eate- n
chocolate bars to innocent freshmen are
disdained by classmates and professors alike.
Other forms of employment such as waiting on
tables, driving trucks or clerking in stores are
considered honorable and worthy of repect by
everyone.
In the classroom these two species of stu
dent workers are given equal opportunities; but,
the honest worker usually surpasses the other
partly because the other employs tricky methods
in his school work, and partly because the class
attitude is so much more cordial toward the
direct, honorable one. The "worker" of the
former mentioned type is included in social
groups only because they want to make fun of
him. The worker of the latter type is admired
by all groups, often being given opportunities
of leadership which he otherwise might not
have.
It is true in college circles as in all others
that one is received into a group only so long
as one gives value to receivers. The object of
scorn is welcome neither to sit in the classroom
nor to loll on the fraternity house porch. The
object of commendation brings a shimmer of
glory wherever he goes. Every classroom and
fraternity house should have one to brighten
things up.

University students are Required to solve
many problems throughout their experiences on
the campus and In classroom work and on a
whole they work out rather good solutions
But at the present time a number of persons
have met with a sticker in the form of getting
from one building on the campus to a distant
one between classes. Particularly are those
students who must go in ten minutes from Mc-Vor Kastle hall to the new Education build
ing confronted with a serious proposition.
In the first place, the stones on the walks over
which the students must travel impede swift
progress. Further, two roadways must be cross
ed, namely, Limestone street and the campus
thoroughfare past the Administration and Law
buildings. At these places students are com
pelled to stop and wait for traffic, as it is
heaviest between classes.
To make bad matters worse, there are quite
a group of professors on the campus who have
such power of lengthy speech, that they hold
classes beyond the bell. The members of this
