Doubter Often
Better Student
Perhaps we are all too busy cram
ming for this week's grind of exami
nati&ns to relish the real oppor
tunity they afford. What-are they-—
. these two-hour sessions with blue
books and fountain pens? Does the
instructor in charge of the course
try to see how difficult he can make
bis questions? Is he trying to flunk
a large percentage of his class for
the purpose of showing how high are
his standards, Is he trying to find
out how much the poor student
knows?
There is an answer to each of
these questions found in the real es
sence of Education itself. For what’
purpose have w’e been reading his
tory, economics, literature and law?
Are we seeking a mass of informa
tion? Are we trying to find the key
to success spelled with dollar signs?
We can learn facts; we can read
endless book material and listen to
interminable lectures without becom
ing educated. But if, in the course
of our work, we learn to discrimi
nate; if we take the critical atti
tude, toward all we do, then we may
go into the examination room this
week fully expecting to do our very
best. If our minds are arbiters of
the true and false, the good and bad,
the attractive and repulsive, then
the period of examinations gives us
a chance to exercise the gift of good
judgment. Do you know something?
Why? Of what use is it? Does it
make you happier? Is the informa
tion at your command so many cen

The best doubter is often the best

looks forward with pleasure to the
examination period, for he can sit
down to a blue book and write out

The certificate is signed by the
editor and will have the winner’s
name as well as the amount of the
prize on it.
Emerald O’s will be awarded to
the most deserving members of the
news and business staff at the time
the other prizes are given.
It is not necessary to be a mem
ber of the staff to enter the con
test. Unassigned stories and tips
will be counted as credit to anyone.
They will also count toward Emerald
appointments. Several changes and
additions will be made in the staff
at the first of the term.
A similar contest was conducted
last year and prizes totaling $75
were given, while 13 members of
the news staff and five members of
the business staff received Emerald
O’s.
Marian Lowry, a sophomore in the
school of journalism last year, won
two of the major prizes, which
totalled $20, the first for efficiency
and consistency in reportorial work
and the secoud for handing in the
most unassigned stories. During
the spring term she had 115 stories
published in the Emerald.
Ted Janes proved to be the most
efficient day editor, the last spring
term. Taylor Huston was judged:
the night editor having the cleanest!
paper. George Belknap, a freshman
last year, won the tip contest, hand
ing in 420 news story suggestions.

Does the pursuit of philosophical truth always lead us

Does our choice lie between bowing to a religion of super
naturally imparted authority and a natural religion which
leaves us bewildered in a universe as meaningless as an
idiot’s dream?
