Show 'November 27, 1933 OPEN Page' 7 OPEN LETTER : Mr. Editor: - It seems that in- the process of changing school environment high school to college we are prone to let drag along many of our high school and junior high school habits. A number of these arc very evident and continually crop out, manifesting a distinct lack of college ethics. May I call 'attention to two that should be remedied and squelched before they attain too strong a footing': In the- first place we do not accord our professors the respect and honor they justly deserve. They are often "made to appear clieap and ridiculous in the eyes of the students through 'being the target of some unscrupulous bit of so-called humor. For the sake of respect,' students, let's be more careful when we intend to bring a professor "in on a' joke. I believe that humor can be secured without attaching any particular rude "halo" to his name. - In the second place, let us throw aside the distinctly 'high school habit of addressing instructors as "Miss" or ."Mr." or "teacher." The correct form of addressing a college instructor is "professor" or "Dr.", according to his degree. Therefore, from now on "teacher," "Mr." and "Miss" are to' be forgotten and instead we are to use "professor." - In addressing an instructor we shall say Dr. 'Hurst, Professor Trcvithick, etc., and thereby do away with a cliildish junior high school habit. '.-' CURTIS BYBEE. Ed. NotcThc first complaint is justified. The Herald itself has been accused of disrespect to members of our (acuity. We agree with Mr. Bybee that such practices should be. discontinued and can assure him that the Herald will be more discreet. The second complaint is not justified. Technically, no 'member of our faculty is qualified to be addressed as "pro-'fessor'1 and, only Dr. Dean Anderson, Dr. Lind, and the medical- doctors on the faculty are qualified to be addressed as "Dr." With these exceptions our instructors will remain addressed as "Mr." or "Miss" bycorrect-speaking college students as well as by junior high school students. " o SOCIOLOGY STUDENTS VISIT JAILS The sociology classes of Weber College visited the city' and county jails Wednesday, Nov. 15, accompanied by 'Walter C. Neville, sociology instructor. The students were unpleasantly surprised by the lack of vcntilatio- in cells, by the children's detention room in the city jail with metal sheets for walls and ceiling and with' practically no ventilation or light, and by some child's inscription, "I have been here nine days and God knows how much longer." Tiis' trip was one of a series scheduled by the Amphic-ti'an' Club. The purpose of this program is to acquaint members with conditions at local and state institutions. On November 1 the members visited the State Industrial School.
