Panel in Disagreement Model UN Delegates
On SC Exam System Will Register Today
Eight Trojans and more than 1000 students from 100 western colleges will convene on the UCLA campus this morning to register for the opening session of the Model United Nations Conference tomorrow.
One dozen Trojans will take the roll of the Indian delegation to the United Nations when the General Assembly meets tomorrow. Perry Spanos is chairman of the “Indian”

By Paul Wasserman
The American college student today doesn’t come to college for an education, but merely “to obtain a piece of paper that will enable him to get a better job after graduation.”
“In due time, and after careful planning, the honor system could work at SC.”
These were two of the views expressed yesterday afternoon by Senator-at-Large Bill Van Alstyne and Independent Men’s Representative Murry Bring on the subject of “Should SC’s Exam System Be Changed.”
Seniors Tested Earlier President Warren Clendening suggested that because of the pressure of senior year activities, all seniors should be allowed to take final examinations earlier than the rest of the student body.
“Our present system of exams gives the student more incentive
for studying than any other plan
being proposed,” Shirley Egland, president of the School of Education, said during the discussion.
The four studentbody leaders spoke in 133 FH to a group of Trojans conspicuous by their absence.
Apathy Strikes Again There are approximately 10,-000 students registered in day classes at SC, but less than 30 of them were present. In fact, one member of the audience was heard to say after the panel discussion that “apathy strikes again at SC!”
Van Alstyne, struggling with a stubborn pipe that would not stay lit, said he favored the elimination of all exams until the last few months before graduation and
then taking a comprehensive exam for all four years of university work.
Eliminates Cramming This is the system at Oxford in England, he said, and “it eliminates the farcical aspects of A-merican education where you cram the night before an exam and then two days later you don’t know a thing you studied.”
He said that this method prepares the individual to understand his role in life, to have a better perspective of knowledge, and eliminates, to a great extent, the economic motives of education so prevalent in the United States.
He pointed out that under the Oxford plan “you can have weekly ‘bull sessions’ with a professor or graduate student and talk over what you have learned that week.”
Present Method Approved
But Shirley Egland said that our present method is the best plan because it gives “you more incentive to work, adds to better study habits, sometimes pushes you on more, and takes account of the individual who might excel in some subjects, but is just average in others.”
She added that for the individual who prefers the English method of study, “our method does not prevent him to use most of its study plans.”
Realizing that our present study methods dees have its faults, she suggested the following ways of improving it:
Better Teachers Needed Better teachers, better attitudes on the part of the student, (Continued on Page 4)
