fraight-A Students
Honored it Banquet
Nineteen Central students
who achieved all A's for either
the spring semester of 1960 or
the fall semester of 1960-61
were honored at a banquet
Thursday evening welcoming
the students in the University
Center.
The students receiving distinction were only those who
ha carried at least 11 semester
hours of work. President Jud-
son W. Foust, who presided
over the meeting, told the students: "This fine performance
will not only be recognized here
but will also be an aid in your
future scholarship."
The 19 students recognized
were: Teri Lee Bennett; Ross
Edgar Bigelow; Nancy L. Buf-
fenbarger; Karen E. Bush;
Duanc Arthur Carr; Jane M.
Cashin; George C. Coggins;
John W. Foerster; Russel D.
Lewis; Gail E. Mackineu; Doris
L. Miller; Larry G. Miller;
Clark F. Most; Ruth Reiche;
Dean A. Salisbury; Winston A.
Wilkinson; Kathryn I. Zahn;
Jeanne M. Hallisy, and Barbara
Ann Backwick. Only one student, Jane M. Cashin, made
both lists.
The list included four freshmen, three sophomores, seven
juniors, and five seniors. The
major fields represented were:
five English majors; three social
science majors; three chemistry
majors; three biology majors;
one math major; and one
science major. Two of the students, both freshmen, had not
chosen their major fields.
Heir Frit tafas
Over three hundred fraternity men attended a formal
"All Fraternity" meeting Feb.
10, with Jerry Sieracki acting
as master of ceremonies and
Jack Schnepp, Ardy Holland
and Jim Cronin presenting
speeches on the theme "Thinking As One.'
Can Greeks justify their existence on college campuses today?  Jack  Schnepp,  president
of I.F.C., presented his ideas on
this questipu..by.fiiving the spc
cial  and  political  attitudes  of
fraternities, the history of fraternities  and the I.F.C. objectives. He also stated that Greek
organizations,   as   does   friendship, depend on the two laws of
association and communication.
The theory behind this is
that if people aro to like one
another, they must take time
to  be  together,  and  knowledge   and  friendship  depend
for their enrichment upon tho
expression   of   that   relationship.
The techniques of rushing
were emphasized. It wj»s estimated that'about 200 men will
rush this semester.

A proposed ordinance for
adoption of a Ways and Means
Committee was introduced by
Roger Kisseberth, student body
treasurer. The proposal was
tabled for further investigation
and "editing".
Much discussion centered
around the date of the "model"
meeting which had origionally
been scheduled for today.
Most senators felt that it should
be postponed for a week because of a lack of publicity.
Some thought they needed
more than a week postponement. Lenore Jensen, Calkins
Hall representative, questioned the Senate's ability lo
go before the student body.
"We're a sorry mess", she exclaimed.
After some discussion concerning senator's ability to attend meetings (specifically the

"Oral Essays in Education"
deals with these questions in
present developments and directions in education:
What's behind the deluge of
criticism dumped on our educational structure in recent years?
Are old ideals crumbling under the attack?
Are we educating people to
live according to values learned
in schools or experienced in society? One critic says we are
raising a generation of schizophrenics.
Where Will' we find enough
teachers and will they be good
ones?
WCRG is one of the more
than 80 radio stations in 26
states broadcasting this series.
On-campus students may hear
"Oral Essays" starting on Monday, Feb. 20 and continuing

Marais and Miranda have collected   humorous   and   tender
songs   from   many   countries,
translated   them   into   English
and presented them in solos and

have   encountered   is   how   to
treat a foreign song or ballad
from   the   middle   ages.   They
must be careful not to violate
^its   tradition    and   yet   must
strengthen its appeal to modern
audiences.

The collection was donated

the library since then. Facilities for the collection are located on the second floor of
