- Educational Democracy And 'Flunking' Rule 1 H current campus controversy over "flunking out" students serves to bring out one of the most vexing problems of education under democracy The University of Utah faculty has denied that there is any rise in the proportion of students dropped from the rools for failure to meet scholastic standards Apparently there were some accusations made to this effect and that it was amove to reduce The authorities declare that overcrowding 110 such course has been followed and quote figures to prove their contention Most people who are familiar with the ilethocla of education and the ways of students are to sympathize with the university In this case Seldom does a student faculty who has been "flunked out" admit that the rauit lies wits him' It is usually brought about — according to the victim —by some profen or or instructor who "haa it in for 11"- - " Frequently parents are convinced by this explanation and ind!inantly call on the authorities for "justice" Under existing conditions with practically every institution of higher learning in the The ' at The 1 Turning to practical politics and the coming campaign the candidate stressed the importance of gaining support in the west for the Republicans The electoral votes from the eleven Western states could well be the deciding factor In the election he said "But winning the west for the Republican party will not come Caldly" he warned "The west will not be won by evading Issues or by a condescending attitude I believe the west can only 1)e won for our Republican party by a vigorous thorough campaign carried on in every state It is my Intention which I frankly report to you to cover all the states of the west in the next few months to discuss the issues frankly and at the same time seek constantly to learn 3210111 of the Mr Stassen may not be a clever politician he may lack the ability to win friends and Influence people by talkrng on both sides of a question and he may fail to measure up to the standards of political "king makers" but he is the kind of a man people feel they can trust because he says what he means and means what he says He has added many Utahns to his host of friends during his vicit country bulging with students and with an unusual factor introduced by the G I education benefits the degree of competition is higher and the problems faced by teachers are 1110113 difficult than ever before Extraordinary efforts must be made to maintain art impartial policy toward all students and their work should speak for itself as well as for the students themselves To establish a double standard of judging the scholastic progress between veterans and other students would be unfair and certainly not according to the established ethics of our educational system To discriminate either for or against a certain type of student veteran or nonveteran would be to deny the very pre cepts of free and democratic education under which our universities operate To the credit of most of the men and women engaged in teaching it can be said that such discrimination is so rare as to be virtually nonexistent There is no reason to re gard members of the faculty of the University of Utah as exceptions to this 'rule There are bound to be large "casualty lists" in institutions where there are large student bodies No system is perfect of course but most universitles have a fairly accurate method for "picking the goats from the sheep" -
