However, occasionally come out that imply quotes little different meaning than was intended. I would like to clarify a point made during an interview in the January 7th edition, page 3, where it is made to appear that I dont think kids work hard in college. 1 fully appreciate the fact that a great many students work very hard in college, and are doing a great job. Let me restate the essence of what was intended in our conversation. We were talking about how well prepared students are as they come to college, and what things contribute to their success while here. My experience has been (even during my own high school years), that most students tend to avoid hard classes like math and physics and chemistry,' and so come to college without a very strong background in these subjects. I believe it will become increasingly important to gain a better high school background as we move toward the future. From the viewpoint of the engineering profession, knowledge and technology are advancing so rapidly, doubling every 10 or 15 years. Much of the knowledge that today is on the graduate level must be taught to the bachelor degree holders of tomorrow if they are to go forth from school with in the current what they will have to know out on the job. As more and more things come into the upper division curriculum, the things such as math and physics and chemistry, on which our freshmen and sophomores spend so much time. What we are seeing is not so much a decline in the quality and commitment of students as a growth in the structure and demands of society that requires a a corresponding .(A well-traine- d 491 South Main Street Thunderbird editorial office no later indian jewelry gold jewelry guns tools wedding rings cameras guitars watches antiques stereos speakers rugs Authentic Indian Jewelry 50 Ofi 9:00 open pm Tuesday thru Saturday 162 9((huns; 6 N 1 Main, Cedar City most credit cards accepted aotuade uAse - tfouqy ttra Ojb&i ofi tjaarxqqa PANTS IN THE STORE ARE 40 Natural sytybA&r Am'. fO 3. 3. 50 $5. 80 $10.

For those who would like to pursue a college degree in any subject area, work avoided in high school by selecting the easy course or in being super busy in fields may result in the non-maja little harder work in college, particularly in the initial classes that are taken. For many students who do not do so well in college, ,a contributing factor may be that they have not learned how to settle down and work, or spend adequate time in a place where they can concentrate, and really think things through. Often the problem lies in factors beyond their control. Very often the natural ability is there, just waiting for the chance to emerge. Those who are doing well have obviously learned how to work well, and make their efforts count. I feel the interview covered some' very positive, valuable points, and it was not intended that a blanket indictment be made concerning the work habits of college and high school students. t, i 1 even freshmen. Since we cant very well move our professional courses into the high schools, we will have to rely more on the high schools picking up more of the load in the classes that they are able to offer, Your interesting and reporters are doing an excellent job, particularly in their special-interefeatures, and the tone is ($ecurtf Liquid Styling Moose Quote out of context, prof says To the editor: .r Monday January 14, 1985 1001 SOUTH MAIN STREET K0U3S:M0KDAY THRU FRIDAY 8:00 AM TO 8:03 PM I j j I J |
