Show College Student Writer Says Classes Lack Vim Charging that some students who attend at-tend classes are "so dead, dull, dreary and weary that they are almost defunct," de-funct," a student editorial writer in the Minneapolis Daily, student publication publica-tion at the university, declares that the professor who wears a long face needn't be blamed for his demeanor. "Professors should be honored as martyrs for even attempting to lecture lec-ture to some classes," the editorial says. "The students are as inspiring as a peanut, as eager as a piece of clay. What professor can be blamed for lengthening his countenance before be-fore lecturing to a group of mourners? The wonder is, from one point of view, that more of them do not wear gray gloves and black neckties." The undergraduate goes on to advise ad-vise students to smile at the instructor's instruct-or's jokes, even if they are ancient, and grin a little broader at "professional "profes-sional irony." This procedure, he predicts, pre-dicts, would cause the instructor to "burst into a bloom of life. His personality per-sonality would be stimulated." |
