C-g'zud,el'lll'clffttliy c;C 'CLtm Most of us have learned by experience that it is only through the give and take of ideas that we can hope to iron out most of those knotty problems that are continually cropping up. Student-Faculty Forum is the agency on campus that serves as a clearing house for these ideas concerning the problems which arise and clamor for attention and solution. The Forum, composed of representatives of students and fac- ulty, attempts through informal discussions to analyze the symptoms with a finger on the pulse of college life and then prescribe possible reme- dies. Or it may deal with a question for the interest value alone. But what then? Talking is useless without action, It is very true that it has no legislative powers, but this doesn't mean that as a result Student-Faculty Forum be- comes a dead letter office. After it has drawn conclusions, it does have the power to suggest courses of action to the appropriate groups which can make these ideas realities. And no one underestimates the power of suggestion.

MR. ARTHUR W. QUIMBY Music DR. JULIA BOWER Mathematics Cbubr? a M:?ja'c 2 Choosing a major sounds like a very clear-cut process, but, oh, the mental turmoil incurred by the actual doing of it. Will it prepare us for a job Afterwards? we wonder, anticipating the fatherly point-of-view. Or, just inciden- tally, can we pass those advanced courses? We consult the catalogue; that is discouraging. The thing to do, we decide, is to get a little advice from the experienced among us. So we attempt a mature, practically-a-sophomore expression and falteringly query the department heads. Still searching, we make a survey of the upper- classmen for additional information. But this isn't a decision that can be made alone; there is too much at stake for purely solitary contem- plation. This is a matter for group discussion, The Group, of course. Everyone talks at once; everyone gives her views, which may or may not pertain; everyone asks questions and goes on without waiting for the answers. It's two o'clock before we straggle to bed, the answer still in the form of a question. But the solution it finally reached, and as we map out our courses we wonder why we ever considered majoring in anything else. DR. M. ROBERT COBBLEDICK Socialogy DR. FLORENCE M. WARNER Economics !
