“Well, looks like this term will just about wind up th’ G.I. bill.”
' notes to the editor
(Ed note: This letter, written
concerning Emerald Managing
Editor Bill Gurney’s piece on
college life at Oregon, in Satur
day’s Junior Weekend edition,
has not been run previously be
cause of space limitations.)
WHARTON SHOCKED
After reading the editorial
“This College Life," I was, to put
it mildly, shocked. Not only be
cause this edition of the Emerald
went into the hands of many vis
iting mothers, but because I dis
agree with almost every state
ment in it.
The visiting mothers must have,
gained much confidence In''our
school after reading it. (If, how
ever, this is the Jfruth—I com
mend the author on his honesty.)
Being a mere freshman, I, un
doubtedly, haver the wrong imj
pression of college life, for I
agree with the quote of Mr.
Hutchins in “This .College Life.”
I think Oregon is a community
of scholars. - - -
Before going further, I; should.;
point out that I am a veteran and
an independent — low creature
that that makes me — and that
my that my intentions in coming
to this university were to learn. I
have experienced enough of the
world (the world that the com
poser of “This College. Life’’
thinks he is getting prepared for
by grabbing a degree in the eas
iest, possible manner) to know
that, although a degree is neces
sary, upon the shoulders of the
bearer of any degree must rest a
well-filled head.
By now you will think me prej
udiced. You are absolutely right!
I found my prejudice upon this:
I am presently entered in the
honors program at this univer
sity. In these honors classes I
compete with a number of stu
dents who, I honestly believe, are
gaining knowledge. Either they
are natural born geniuses or they
aTe striving to learn. , ,
I say this because I find
myself struggling to keep up
^ with them. It^is not that I can
\not learn easily"; my being en
tered in the honors program
should disprove that; but, oa
the contrary, I find learning en
. joy able. However, this group of
people must have a goal other
than “grades and a diploma and
a good job.” There are many
easier courses from which good
grades might be obtained more
easily.
I know little about the Greeks.
The few I have met have seemed
to me to ge good men and women.
However, “This College Life”
might have referred only to
them; if so, I have misunderstood
it and since I am ignorant of their
actions am out of order. If not,
I mainatin that it spoke for the
minority.
If this makes me a radical, I
have disproved paragraph nine of
“This College Life.”
