Snow sport's equipment may be rented at the Lodge or taken with the students on the busses. Affl immense poster has been placed on the public bulletin board in Founders for students to sign on, by classes, and to state if bus transportation is needed.

Y Majors Hear Noted Chicagoan "In this constantly changing world we must prepare ourselves to understand the human element h> life. This is one of the policies of the school of which I represent, that is to educate the students so they may meet the needs of the people they will serve." This was the thought of Dr. H. C.

MAHLMON HARVEY Interview Shows Students Prefer Subjective Exams Like the thirteen steps to the galAows, students are counting the days until January 24—when final exams begin. In attempting to discover what type of final (if any) students and faculty prefer, the Quaker Campus has recorded several representative ideas on this important subject. < Students are almost 100% is favor of essay type and subjective questions on the finals, the results reveal. Says Terrell Myers, junior, "Subjective questions, which give a student a chance to show how much he knows about a whole field, rather than objective, which stress the little details, seem to me to be the fairest." Chuck McEver, sophomore class president, borrowing an idea from :he Cal Aggies thinks that finals should be dispensed with, and supplanted by a series of smaller tests in each subject, given at frequent intervals. Expressing an idea which probably will find favour with students is Dr. Randolph Pyle, professor of mathematics, whose opinion it is that more time should be given to finals;, not longer exams, but a longer ''final's week" spread them out, so that there will be no more than two finals per day for each student. Striking a different note, Professor Harry Nerhood, instructor in history, and the social sciences believes that oral exams are ideally the most superior, giving the teacher an opportunity to find out just how much the student actually knows. But regardless of these humane views, finals are still coming—and they will in all probability be just as tough as ever!
