with the Foundation's expression of
confidence In the forward-looking ap-proach
to liberal education which has
been undertaken by the faculty of
Woman's College. This is a distinct
tribute to the entire teaching staff,
which has taken the initiative for
evaluating the curriculum of the col-lege
and its relations to education
for citizenship. We confidently expect
the study to produce results of genu-ine
significance for the higher edu-cation
of women in this slate."
Two nationally-known consultants
in the field of general education have

The General Education steering
committee, headed by Miss Mereb
Mossman, has drawn up a statement
of tentative objectives of general edu
cation. The text of the statement fol-lows:
General education, 1 e., the non
specialized, nonvocational part of a
college student's education, involves
the knowledge, relevant to our soei
ety, that should be the possession of
every educated person.
This education should give some
understanding of man in relation to
himself, to society, and to the physi-cal
world. The concern of general
education is both the enrichment of
the inner experience of the individual,
and the development of the capacity
to apply his knowledge to all his outer
relations. General education must
contribute toward the development of
the citizen in a free society, who is
committed to a reasoned choice of
ethical, social, religious, and aesthetic
values within the framework of his
cultural heritage.
The course of study need not be
equated to any specific body of mate-rials,
but the student must master
something of the factual content and
methods of the three main areas of
study: the humanities, the social sci-ences,
and the natural and physical
sciences. Knowledge should be pre-sented
to the student in as interrelat-ed
a way as possible; this entails the
clarification of at least one of the
relations among the several disciplines.
Through general education the stu-dent
should develop certain basic
competencies, the most important of
which are those singled out by the
Harvard Report: . . to think effec-tively,
to communicate thought, to
make relevant judgments, to discrmi
inate among values." < General Edu-cation
in a Free Society, p. 651.

Postcard Campaign ...
Clarification of the drinking rule and appointment of legislative
committees headed the order of business at the first meeting of
the 1951-1952 Legislature, Wednesday night.
' * Betty Bollard new chairman of Leg-
1 islature, opened the meeting by re-minding
the group of its responsibil-ity
as an elected group representing
the entire student body.
First on the agenda was considera-tion
of the confusion concerning the
drinking rule. Louise Mooney, chair-man
of rules committee, reported that
she had conferred with both the out-going
and incoming Judicial Boards,
Dean Taylor, and Chancellor Graham
concerning the rule. After much dis-cussion.
Legislature voted to change
the rule to read: "The drinking of
intoxicating beverages by a student
under college jurisdiction is forbid-den."
The added phrase is to be clari-fied
In the handbook Immediately fol-lowing
the rule as follows: "A student
is said to be under college jurisdic-tion
when she is en route to and from
the college, when she is in residence
at the college, and when she is signed
out from the college, with the excep-tion
of being at home." Following a
lengthy discussion, Legislature voted
the creation of a committee of six
members, two from each of the upper
classes, to be appointed by the chair-man
of Legislature to work with the
Administration during the summer to
consider the possibility of modifying
the rule. The committee is to report
to Pre-School Conference in the fall.
Concerning the request of the fresh-men
for extended lights, the chairman
reported that no extension was pos-sible
since Dr. Collings did not ap-prove
an added cause for student fa-tigue.
Following the report of the commit-tee
on faculty evaluation, the commit-tee
considering the constitution of
Ihe Cosmopolitan Club made its re-port.
The chairman of this committee
recommended that the constitution be
approved by Legislature, and a motion
to this effect was made and passed.
Next Legislature approved the ap-pointments
to Judicial Board. They
are Joan Roberts. Anne Sutton, Glen-na
Byrd. Polly White, Mary Agnes
Tola, Dot Kendall, and Trilby Boerner.
Llbby Boulus was appointed chair-man
of Service League.
Kay Parker was approved as elec-tions
chairman, and Jane Sarsfield as
the appointed member of GUC. Three
faculty advisers to Legislature were
chosen: Miss Josephine liege, faculty
adviser; Miss Sue Underhill, freshman
counselor adviser; and Miss Laura
Anderton, upperclassman counselor
adviser. Appointments to finance
board, which handles student activities
funds, were Carol Rogers, Miriam Da-vis.
Harriet Whitmore, and Marian
Sifford. Beside these students six
faculty members were selected by
Legislature, three of whom will be
chosen by the chancellor to serve on
the board.
Janet Frembcth, Sue Haley, and
Martha Jane Johnson were elected to
serve on the points committee. The
student-faculty reviewing committee
will consist of Doris lluffines. chair-man,
Ann Bondurant, Joan Wrenn.
and Betty Jean Hagan.
Legislature elected eleven of the
thirteen delegates to the State Student
Legislature which will convene in the
fall. The representatives chosen are
Lyn Brinkley. Peggy Helms. Mary
Holshouser. Jackie Jernigan. Dot Ken-dall.
Martha Lohr. Ann Rothgeb, Mar-ian
Sifford and Rozelle Royal. Kay
Parker and Marilyn Roblnette will
serve as alternates.

Democratic Action
The word "apathetic" Is almost con-stantly
associated with the student
reaction to issues both directly and
indirectly affecting her life on the
college campus. So. it is particularly
heartening to cite a student response
to a plea from a source remotely dis-tant
from our student lives . . . and
to congratulate the more than three
hundred students of WC whose inter-ests
lie beyond the ivy-covered walls
. . . and whose actions indicate that
thought and effort motivate these
actions.
Last Monday NSA and SDA, stu-dent
campus organizations, supported
a campaign to put pressure on the
House of Representatives for immedi-ate
passage of the Smith i Republican.
N. J.l Bill authorizing an immediate
loan of 95 million dollars to the gov-ernment
of India for purchase of
American grain to alleviate the crit-ical
famine in that country. The bill,
which has passed the Senate, has been
pigeon-holed in the House Rules Com-mittee
of which Brooklyn. N. Y., Dem-ocrat
Adolph Sabath Is chairman.
Three hundred students represent
one-eighth of the campus population.
This is not a large proportion. Those
students who did not respond during
the campaign can still write their con

and two minutes of a twenty-four

We have demonstrated that we can
those prindplei and rights
embodied in our Constitution and ex-pected

A WC student's attitude need
not be "LET democracy live" but
"MAKE democracy live."
