First Snow of the Season
Ash Cans> Urns, and Garbage
By LANNY NAEGELIN
It is that time of year again- First
semester is just about half over, and
in many ways grades, the girl or
boy situation, the roommate situa-
tion, the, money situation, etc. are
. locking sts bad as possible.
But tikjti’L give up. Things are
never as bad as they seem.
Looking over what has liappened
Since school opened, I say we’ve
come a long way.
Somp interesting statistics collect-
ed at raudetn—and rc.ne are official
exCocpt in an unofficial way—are
lasted below.
(trades are generally lower af
in id-se mes te r this term than at either
irkd semester last year.
- 4ocut 25 percent fewer girls on
campus are dropped at this time
this year than were at this time
last year.
lifcre classes have been cut (in
one way or another—honest or dis-
tncitest) than were last year in the
sadie period of time.
trades iii English are raring
Somcwhot higher than they did last
year in some classes, but lower in
others.
JVfore freshmen list chemistry as

Ma’!h 515 runs a clcss second—less
thou 1 percent behind chemistry.
Fewer people are cutting chapel
Ibis year.
But so much for statistics. Now
back to the idea that a great deal
has happened. A brief resume might
be interesting for you to look at.
Orientation came first.
Registration was second.
Rush Week involved many students
during orientation and registration.
There was the Bermuda B'ast.
The next week saw Greek Week-
end wi.h the “Six Flags Over Texas”

The Union has sponsored two mov-
ies.'’
Receptions came and went with
few ill effects ether than tired legs.
Two major forum events were
held: The Astronauts and Tran Van
Dinh.
The first Mask and Wig play cam*
and stayed for a week, playing to
full houses almost every night.
Intramural football has come and
is< goi ng. And the WRA has fin'shed
volleyball and is preparing for bas
kctba'l competition.
There have been outlaw serenades.
•The Senate has met etrery week.
Freshmen elections —* as well as
uprer class electrons — have been
held.
The first Black and G.ld Basset
ball game was held.
And the first all-school Carnival
came and went.
No wonder everything locks so bad
—there’s no time to do things right.
Campbell Speaks At invitation

Invitation to Learning featured Dr.
Jeff Campbell for the month of No-

The topic of the evening was, “What
Hope for the Novel in Our Time?”

CG/iwd historical notes, which plac-
ed the beginning of the novel in
eighteenth century England. Includ-
ed also was Dr. Campbell’s defini-
tion of the novel as “an extended
fictional prose work.”
Trends of the novelist were dis-
cussed which included a means of
escape, realism, naturalism and ex-
slenttaliKcrn. The current purpose of
the novelist seems to be placing
man in life ns his own judge rather
-Kv ^ .
than a creature of a creator.
A novelist of today plays a diffi-
cult role, for he has two choices
for development. He may either
write about man in his society, which
is relatively impossible because of
this complexity of the day, or the
inner life of the individual wherc-
an abnormal or psychotic personal-
ity can not easily be avoided. In
addition to literary problems, the
financial aspect is always prevalent.
Publishing companies are Very par-
ticular concerning fiction, especially
in; tfie field of the novel. After a
novel is published the critics may
prove to be a fatal blow to the
novelist.
- ; * . . • . 1 ••
Dr. Campbell’s concluding remakrs
were directed to praise the novel as
a unique way of cornpiunication to
die peuirte. The final hope for the
survival cf the novel as a literary
art lies in the bands of the people.
Only through a revival .cl interest
and individual concern car. the no-
velist and Iris work remain a part
db our culture.
Editorial Comment
We Must Agree!
Assembly this week has caused a wide variety of
comments, and we feel that the issues presented are well
worth discussing briefly.
One point that we would tike to bring up is that -for
the past several years — in fact fojr the past many
•years — the Southwestern faculty members have been
somewhat subsidising the students.
How is this so? Faculty members have been paid
considerably less then faculty members at similar in-
stitutions. Because their pay has been less thafi adequate
for the work, hours, and participation required of them,
students could get by by paying less.
Now it has become a necessity to increase salaries
to keep some of the outstanding professors we now
have here and to bring new top-notch teachers in.
Too, dorms need to be remodeled; student offices are
needed; much work must be done to keep Southwestern
moving forward.
We fully support the move to raise fees and tuition
because we can see the need to do so, and we feel sure
that the good that will be accomplished will outweigh
any hardships the added expense will bring to students.
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
V. November 4, 19o4
Dear Editor:
I should like to pick a couple of
bones with you about last week’s
“ASh Cans, Urns, and Garbage” col-
ors university. Co-curricular events
can serve to enrich this pursuit, but
oiudeuLs must arrange their own
umn.
First, youir column stated that
when Mr. Tran Van Dinh spoke on
October 29 “those who heard him
were few.” Either your crowd esti-
mator is a little bit off base or
your estimate of the meaning of
“lew” is quite different from mine.
Airiest 403 chairs were set up by
ttro Urtion staff. These chairs were
ail filled. In addition, people were
sejatccL on the cihoir risers in the
back of the room and some were
standing.
when I choose! Three cheers fo£
freedom of fhfc press.
Tins means that there were clear
!y something more than 400 people
in the room. My elementary arith-
metic informs me that of a student
body of about 800, more than half
of; them were in attendance at the
lecture. Any time more than, half
of a student body of any college
turns out for a lecture of this na-
ture, this is a record to be proud of,
net one to give the impression or
buck of interest. Yoiir article left
the impression that response was
lukewarm, while in fact I think that
it was remarkable.
Second, your column criticized pro-
fessors for giving examinations on
the day following such an event. I
must speak in defense of the pro-
fessor. If quizzes are announced far
enough in advance (as I know the
particular biology test you mention-
ed1 was), students should be mature
enough to plan titeu study time well
enough to budget an hour off the
night before if they want to. I dare
say that if there had been no lec-
ture, students would have found time
for a “ccffee break” or some sort
of break that would have taken as
mudhi time as the lecture.
Actually, 45 minutes was all the
time necessary to hear Mr. Van
Dmh's address.
Any student wlro cannot find 45
miniites to spare from studying for
a teat the night before has been
delinquent in his preparation ulp to
that point and should not blame the
professor for bis own delinquency.
