Saying, with reservations, thal a student committee, if it wer< non-voting, might be a feasible plan for the University, Presidenl Erb looks at the general idea o1 the Harvard committee as “ghast ly.’' A university, believes President Erb, should attract students main ly by the established advantages it has there to offer. They are not “shanghaider,” as he put it, into attending college, and considering that, they should come with the idea of getting the best from what is there, not trying to make the school over for each individual. “I shudder to think what such a plan might lead to,” the presi dent said. “For instance, differ ences in opinions among students themselves would be confusing.” Most generally opinions are upt at all unanimous. This lack of unity among the students themselves | would be a serious drawback, then, i to the establishment of such a plan as the Harvard committee.” Seniors May Try For Army Posts After Graduation An opportunity for three or four graduates in military science to secure one year’s active duty in the U.
