After a weekend a* juoce«rfui aa the laat there are naany ^people and groupe who deeenre the thanks of those of us who were conspicuous on the sidelines. We can’t name them all, there were too many However, there is one group which should be singled out We’U presume m Rpeaking for the entire Senior ('lass in extending 2 a heart felt “Thanks” to the staff of iHmcan Mess Hall and to any others who prepared and aerved the Senior Banquet Not only was the food of excellent quality, it was served hot something which can t be said of many banquets off the campus. An abuolute minimum of time ela|>sed between courses. The waiters moved quickly, ef- ficlewtly, and pohUiy about their duties in serving the 1,000 plus people who at tended the banquet. Their work made it possible for all of us to enjoy the well pre pared food The tables were attractive, too. with new silver, candles, and neat arrange ment It has been our privilege to attend many of the banquets served by the staff of the college mess halls. They haw. with out exception, all been good. Saturday night’s was another success. Again we extend our appreciation for a job well done. New Plans for Texas (,ollc«cs . . . The Daily Texan last week made a very appropriate editorial comment on a proposed study that could have a far reaching affect on Texas colleges. The proposal which was voiced by Dr. flam Barton, president of the CollegeOMroom Teacher* Association, would, if apfirovi-d by the legislature, be a form of tidmer Atkin plan for state colleges (See news re|*ort of Barton's plan on this (sige.l The Texan editor's comments are well worth consideration He said, after an introductory |>aragraph. ”I>r Sam Barton . . . asked for a study to remedy these ma jor college faults: “1. Packed classrooms and overloaded prof easeis. ”3. Adequate library 4nd research fa cilities These are faults that can be found to Yarymg extent in almost all colleges and universities Problem No 1 is the most applicable to the University. New class room buildings are on the way to par tially alleviate this growing paw “The (iilmer Aikin program, however holds a key to an inadequacy not listed by Dr Barton, but prevalent to a great de gree in the State's smaller schools and to a lesser extent m the University and her Southwest Conference rivals "That shortcoming has recently been described by the Texan as ‘easy hours’ - those vacuum course* usually labeled ‘crip*’ by students. The University has some of these courses Kast Bmdertwme Junior College has others Sometimes the courses PoMcida. “Dr. Barton's Classroom Teachers would be doing educatbm a great serv ice if they could formulate a standard of values aimed at eradicating easy hours “This might be done through a survey <4 the .courses which the varum* sch»s»ls have succeeded in making interesting and constructive without becoming drudgery An exchange of ideaa and techniques built around the findings of this survey could result m all the schools having complete curncdluma of desirable but not easy hours'- courses “The survey would also indicate the kmita to which the curriculum* of smaller schools should be extended That is it would eliminate the teaching of certain courses in schools whose finances and physical plant would make those courses inferior. 4 “A proposal for a study similar to the one suggested by Dr Barton was never acted on in the recent special session of the Legislature. ‘ With economy talk impending in the next session, a look into the Barton pro- ixautis. plus an investigation of 'easy hours.' would be worth the effort Effic iency has always nseant economy — in ed ucation aa well as government.''
