Frederick lege Cotillion Eminent Last month the Charming Club of the Unitarian Church of Salt Lake City had a dis- cussion concerning the values of college students what they are and what they should be. The moderator of the group began the discussion by proposing the question as. to whether or not college students tended to be a bit too social in their desire to attend college. The question was then raised to Dr. O. T. Driggs who replied that it is very rarely that a college student is interested primarily in learnings sake. Only a few can be found who attend college for just intellectual stimulus. Malcolm Reynolds added' further to this state-beby giving the example of the school system of some Scandanavian countries. Here schooling is set up for the purpose of learnings sake only. There are no exams or grades included in the courses and the intellectual enthusiasm shown would be quite astounding to many. nt Several complaints proving is not that the emphasis placed enough on learning for learnings sake were brought out in the discussion by several students from the Uni- versity. One student contended that an instructor has a duty to keep a class interesting, and that it is the fault of the instructor if a student has lack of motivation for a given subject In answer to this, Dr. Driggs stated that by the time a young adult reaches college he should not have to be babied nor should his instructor have to keep up his interest. Also, an instructor should not be blamed for a student with no motivation. It is the duty of the student to be active and the instructor to be passive. Facts have to be Interpreted and utilized by the student before they can be of any use. The role of the teacher is merely to aid and present certain facts for further ponderance by the student. The tendency to do just the opposite is prevalent in too many of our schools. Thus, the idea has formed that an instructor must be overly interesting in order for any knowledge to be conveyed. This lack of motivation is due to societys emphasis on the good instruc tor,. which includes the idea of complete classes. interest in all Another student complained that many instructors are to blame because of failures due to personal likes or dislikes in a class. In other words the person who gets decent grades must certainly be teachers pet. Mr. Reynolds replied that this matter of a favorite student is in most cases not so important as to affect a grade. He further added that if an instructor seems to conflict that much with a student's personality then it would be advisable to drop that subject, because in most cases this not too harmonious relationship between teacher and student can affect a grade to a considerable degree. However, if the subject is interesting enough then the student should continue even in the light of poor relationships with the instructor. Some People Fear Snakes what-am-I-doing-he- .
