Priestly: Turbulent Transfer in the Lower Atmosphere The students ought to be ashamed. Nobody but the faculty is objecting to subjecting them to special test-oaths before they can collect government scholarship money. Samuel K. AHison Physics One of the strange and distressing character- istics of American students. including most U. 01' C. students, is their intellectual immatur- ity. They are, as a rule, more mature than their European peers in the practical aspects of life. When it comes to marriage, child rearing, get? ting a job, and similar matters. American stu- dents are more mature than European 01' Asian students. But intellectually they are more im- mature. This manifests itself in their inability to devise their own programs, their strong need for guidance, their lack of adventuresnmeness in the selection of courses. They prefer the ttsafcf prescribed programs to striking out for themselves, the rehash nf well-worn curricula t0 imaginative new combinations. This mayr make good sense from a vocational standpoint, but it is not likely to create soon a dedicated association of scholars. and for this reason the really creative scholar is likely to remain a maverick in American society Bert FA Hoselitz Social Sciences 21

What is wrong with the University is that Cap and Gown has been in the doldrums. If the in- cumbent staff has the success one wishes for it, then by the time this is read there will be nothing wrong with the University John P. Netherton Decm 01 Students There is always something wrong with the Uni- versity. If this were not the case we would not have a very good University. Our problem is to keep fmding something wrong Warren C. Johnson C kemisiry 23
