Seeds Of Suspicion

The University community had a
rare treat last week; it was visited
by an "expert" on Communism and
students and faculty were able to
hear this "expert" lecture on the Communist menace to America's colleges
and universities.
Last week's "expert" was no mere
scholarly expert whose knowledge of
the Communist threat went no further than information gleaned from
dusty old ooks and newspaper accounts. He was an admitted practitioner of the fine art of Red huntingafter all, he said he could talk
to any man for 10 minutes and determine if he was a Communist.
With a few well aimed verbal
darts, the Communist "expert" let his
audience know just exactly where
the Communists or Communist
"dupes" in its midst could be found.
His pronouncements
were not
shocking; we've heard most of them
before. He noted that those who
opposed compulsory ROTC, favored
.racial integration, were disenchanted
with the House
Activities Committee, or came out against
nuclear holocaust by supporting
atomic disarmament were at best

making extra assign-

ments.
I feel sure that if all college instructors became a little more considerate, it would greatly affect student
morale. Instead of memorizing and
learnforgetting, real
ing could take place and isn't that
down-to-eart- h

e

Getting In Peace Corps Will Be Tough

DAROLD TOWERS
With the establishment of the
temporary Peace Corps under R.
Sargent Shriver, the nation's collegians have deluged the corps' Washington headquarters with applications.
Yet if only 500 to 1,000 young
men and women will be in the field
for the corps by the end of the year,
as suggested by President Kennedy,
most applications will have to be rejected or deferred
The corps is not expected to begin
distributing application forms to colleges and universities until next
month. To elate, no detailed criteria
for selection have been announced.
However, it seems safe to say that
these factors will be crucial:
1. Training and, or experience in
areas related to the needs of underdeveloped nations especially teaching, agriculture, or health.
2. Maturity.

the innuendo of the "expert's" speech

We do agree with the speaker
when he noted that there is a definite need for college courses on Communism, but they must stress the
history, aims, and philosophies of
Communism and not the propaganda
based on blind fear and intolerance
presented last week under the cloak
of patriotism and enlightenment.
Communism is indeed a real and
present danger but it must not be
combated by sowing the seeds of suspicion that can only lead to neighbors
spying on neighbors and friends turning on friends.

Arc Wc Learning?

JOE MILLS
Some college instructors are just
way out. Deep inside, they feel that
they are walking encyclocdias ami
dictionaries combined. What, is so
revolting is that they show it, with
every gesture of the hand and gleam
of the eyo. A few try to make students
feel like
idiots, even though
the great store of common sense probably belongs to the students.
Some instructors force the students to do all sorts of ridiculous
things extra classes at night, extra
books to read each week, and outside projects are only a few, but we
all know that students have so much
extra time nowadays. Some instructors idolize term papers. All that can
be said on term papers is that they
comprise nothing but the transference of the bones of learning from
one grave to the other, but the student must obey.
Of course, this type is in the minority, but such instructors do exit,
Most students are just afraid to say
am thing about them, bec ause they
might be failed out of school.
The instructor forgets quite often
that he was once a student, too. He
is very lucky to hold his position, but
it isn't something to toy with. Most
students work very hard
present-daand try to make the !est they can.
The regular classroom lecture and
homework isn't so bad but this ungodly extracurricular work can get
quite ridiculous. If the instructor had
to put in the equal daily working
hours of the student, there would be
some changes made. In many cases
it just adds up to instructors coming

a report by Max Millikan, director of
the Center for International Studies

programs for persons with various
kinds of graduate degrees should be
explored.
Students and graduates whose applications for the corps are accepted
will most likely hae studied in areas
such as agriculture, medicine, nursing, public health, or engineering.

or in some country like Puerto Rico.
If such "boot camps" were set up,
then the United States itself could derive direct benefit from "practice

earlier, a rigorous "boot camp" would
enable the corps to flunk out those
who couldn't take it.
