* A Day For Eggheads
Each year, the University sets aside
one hour to recognize a group of students who have distinguished themselves academically. For some of the
206, the Honors Day program will
mark the only time in their college
career that public mention is made of
their outstanding performances.
Others, perhaps, have received bids
to the various campus honoraries.
To encourage attendance, the Uniclassversity has dismissed third-hou- r
es and closed the Grill, but even so
the odds are about 1 to 9 that the
student body will converge on Memorial Hall en masse. And yet these
students in the top 3 per cent of their
classes form the scholastic backbone
;

of UK.

places where congenial

Those of us who go unrecognized
today may be tempted to smile contemptuously to ourselves, thinking as
we do that we, by keeping our noses
out of a book and by doing only the
work necessary to squeeze under the
wire, have had more fun, have gotten
more out of college. More of us will
restaujoin the gang at an
rant, thankful for the free period. We
may never realize that we, not the
206 "bookworms,"
are the real
"squares."
No, the honored won't be widly applauded or idolized for their academic feats. They can only receive a

Scientists And Bombs
To The Editor:
Apropos the article in Wednesday's
Kernel, "Medal Without Honor," and
with reference to a letter written to
the editor of Science Magazine, a
question occurred to me and possibly
to some of your other readers. This
question is why the German physicists,
so greatly feared for their scientific
ability, made so amazingly little progress toward a nuclear bomb?

Thefe'tertairily

Avas Tio '"lack of

.scientific genius in Germany at the
time, e.g., Otto Hahn, Paul Rosebaud,
Wolfgang Gentner, Hans Seuss and
Fritz Houtermans. Is if possible that
these scientists remained passive in
this area for fear of what Hitler
might have done if he had had an
atomic bomb?
This is one of the theses that Robert
Jungk extends in his book, Brighter
Than a Thousands Sims. He recounts
the story of Fritz Houtermans, who
completed his first study of the uranium problem in September, 1940, and
wrote during the war on the "Problem of the Release of Nuclear Chain
Reactions," but saw to it that his
study did not get into the hands of the
Army Weapons Department. Whether
this thesis is borne out, I can't say. I

Bypass The Overpass
To The Editor:
Must one of the most-see- n
features
on campus be as appealing as the
Union Station Viaduct? To make the
safety device effective, will its use be
enforced by a policeman? The overpass on Euclid Avenue is called a
safety device, yet no safety device
of this category is worth its weight
in concrete if it won't be used. This
overpass will not be used by most
students because it is too unhandy.
Human nature being the way it is,
you can't make people walk across a
mountain by merely building a road
.

To The Editor:
Mr. Norman's article ("Collegians, A
Sorry Lot," Thursday) is worth serious
consideration from everyone, both within and without the University. Oddly
enough we all must confess in a moment
of truth we would rather receive a
college diploma without the labor of
studying. Yes, we may even scoff at
the "curve setters," but, more than we
will admit, we wish we had that "A."
Unfortunately I think everyone realizes
what is right for themselves and others,
but we can't seem to become serious
enough to act positively and, in fact, go
against the "popular" way of life. I bethis attitude long
lieve we acquired
before the days of high school were
ended. Indeed this general happy-go-luckoutlook goes back
beyond our parents' day, and perhaps to
a time when grandpa was chopping
wood as a boy.
Actually, then, our present attitude
toward life is quite young, in spite of
the fact that some such similar attitude
may be found before the inspiration of
Christ. In any event, we know that in
the past 50 years things have moved
rather rapidly. Never before have
"breaks" been so important in a job, nor
social attitudes and play so important
to "get away from it all." Unions demand more reward for work with shorter
hours. And why the fewer hours? For
more time to relax and play.
What then is the point in pausing to
realize this trend of the "other directed"
as we are referred to in The Lonely
Crowd?
I believe in answer to this question we
.
must confess to ourselves that degeneration of ourselves and our society, including our government, can be the
only result. A similiar philosophy reduced the state of Rome and the Romans
to the mere name of a city. This may
not be a good' analogy, but perhaps you
can visualize that if we all act like the

the University, as the professors (not all,
of course) so amply exhibit, that to
ask respect of others, one must first
show respect. Believe or be doomed, no
one really believes you as "cute" or
"chic" as they might tell you for not passing a course or joining the "probation
party," or even exhibiting unconcern for
the teachings of the professors. Isn't it
really odd how overjoyed some get when
the prof is 15 minutes late, and how we
brag to all our friends when in a large
class where the roll is never called?
What the hell are some people here
fore? Could anyone be so naive as to
believe getting a college degree is a matter of attending college? I believe roll-ca- ll
should be abolished, and the probation period prior to dismissal from the
University adopted as soundly as our
law governing murder. On the other
hand, I hate to see some people who do
not have the ability to study suffer for
those who are lazy, and a bad influence
on everyone. Again, I think this all mi;ht
be solved with respect respect from the
outside as well as the students within.
Generally, students are not admitted
to a university who do not have the
ability to learn what is offered. Courses
are offered, you know, not (as one might
think) "given." And such is life! What
we can learn here will be more applicable
to our later lives than we can realize.
