Health Education
Dean Earle M. Bigsbee of the
College of Education at the Uni
versity of Bridgeport, Bridge
port, Conn., recently proposed
that health education be dropped
from the courses required for a
degree.
Bigsbee said he felt the course
has become obsolete and colleges
within the University should be
allowed to delete the course at
their discretion.
“Elimination of the course
would give the new student an
easier first year,” said Bigsbee.
A recent survey of alumni dis
closed that of the 1959 gradua- (
ting class, 79 per cent said their
experience in health education
made no change at all in their
health habits, 18 per cent said
it made moderate changes and
only 2 per cent said it had Vnade
any substantial change.
The Georgia Tech Air Force
ROTC unit has had approved a
revised curriculum scheduled to
go into effect starting with the
.summer quarter of this year, ac
cording to Dean of Faculties Paul
Weber. The cadets wrote the re
vision and presented it to the
faculty themselves.
“The recently approved curric
ula requirements only recognize
nine hours of advanced ROTC to
ward graduation and call for an
increase of six hours in social
sciences and humanities,” Weber
said.
At the basic cadet level, class
room requirements have been re
duced from 18 to' 6 hours a week
and the present two drills per
week will be reduced to one.
“The six credit hours which
have been eliminated by the re
vision will be subtracted from
the total number of credit hours
required for graduation,” Weber
concluded.
Princeton University’s Gradu
ate School is creating a special
program in the history and phis-
osophy of science which will be
offered for the first time during
the 1960-61 academic year, ac
cording to Princenton president
Robert F. Goheen. The new
course of study will lead to the ,
degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
“In recognizing the growing
interest in this field with the de
velopment of the sciences them
selves during the last decade, the
COURT’S
SHOES

program will treat the two fields
as social, cultural, epistemologi
cal and logical demensions of sci
ence considered as an intellectual
undertaking,” Goheen said. “And
among its other aims, the new
graduate program will equip its
students to teach general history
or philosophy,” he added.
Two new programs, a “com
mon core” program for all fresh
man business students and an
“independent study program” de
signed to encourage qualified stu
dents to undertake study and re
search beyond the immediate re
quirements o f their regular
course of study, have been an
nounced by the undergraduate di
vision of Pace College at New
York.
The new “common core” bus
iness program is designed to pro
vide a solid core of business sub
jects' so the student can more
wisely choose between accounting
and marketing as his field of
concentration by the end of his
freshman year. It consists of
courses in accounting, marketing
and liberal arts.
The other new program, the
“independent study program,”
may extend throughout the sen
ior year and be assigned a max
imum of three ■ credits toward a
degree. Students in the first half
of their junior year with an aver
age of “B” or better are eligible
to apply.
During the last half of their
junior year, the student must
submit an outline of the propos
ed area of study, a bibliography
and a brief description on the re
search to be undertaken in con
nection with the study. Once his
project has been approved, the
student will work under other su
pervision of a faculty member
.qualified to oversee work in that
particular area.
The Pomona College, (Clare-
mone, Calif.) Faculty Fraternity
Review Committee recently pub
lished its 27 page report. The
committee began by recognizing
that fraternities must be consid
ered not separately but as part
of the whole social life of Po
mona College, admitted that “this
is not a particularly friendly cam
pus, nor has the best practical
provision for easy social relation
ships outside of fraternities been
made,” and “on the whole ....
fraternities serve a useful func
tion in the campus social life.”

Victory Fails
To Give Kennedy
All He Wanted
WASHINGTON <#>—Sen. John
F. Kennedy (D-Mass.) took a
measured-hut not decisive-step
toward the Democratic president
ial nomination by winning Tues
day’s Wisconsin Democratic pri
mary.
Vice President Richard M. Nix
on favorably surprised some of
his closest supporters by his a-
bility to draw a party vote in an
unexciting unopposed Republican
primary in which he refused to
campaign.
Sen. Hubert H. Humphrey (D-
Minn.) kept himself politically
alive in the Democratic contest.
He pointed his future campaign
toward a bone-crushing show
down in the May 10 West Virginia
primary. The political ingredients
that go into the crucible there
may be far different from those
in Wisconsin.
For Kennedy, his evident cap
ture of 20 of Wisconsin’s conven
tion votes furnished satisfactory
evidence he could command party
support in the crucial Midwest as
well as in his home New England
stamping ground.
But it was not the sweep that
Kennedy would have liked. Hum
phrey ran behind, but respectably
so. Humphrey proved he is the
champion of the kind of farmers
who inhabit the western areas of
Wisconsin which adjoin his home
state of Minnesota.
Kennedy got the industrial
First Wisconsin District, a trib
ute to his apparently superior
pull with organized labor. He
took the eastern side of Wiscon
sin where the Roman Catholic
vote is strong. He ran well in
normally Republican areas.
This division of the spoils did
Kennedy no good in his attempts
to mute the issue raised by his
Catholicism. Instead, it empha
sized that he was strongest where
the Catholics are most numerous.
It generated the suspicion that
Republicans ignored their own
primary and crossed over to- vote
for him as the man they regard
as the easiest Democrat to beat
in November.
It seemed implicit these issues
would continue to plague Ken
nedy until he tests his strength
in nearly solid Protestant terri
tory such as West Virginia. In
that state only Democrats will
vote their preference between
Kennedy and Humphrey. Repub
licans there cannot obtain Dem
ocratic ballots as they did in Wis
consin.

"NO PARKING’ ,
As everyone knows, the most serious problem facing American
colleges today is the shortage of parking space for students’ cars.
Many remedies have been offered to solve this vexing dilemma.
For instance, it has been suggested that all students be required
to drive small foreign sports cars which can be carried in the
purse or pocket. This would, of course, solve the parking prob
lem but it would make double dating impossible—unless, that
is, the boys make the girls run along behind the car. But that
is no solution either because by the time they get to the prom
the girls will be panting so hard that they will wilt their corsages.
Another suggested cure for our parking woes is that all
students smoke Marlboro cigarettes. At first glance this seems
an excellent solution because we all know Marlboro is the
cigarette -which proved that flavor did not go out when filters
came in—and when we sit around and smoke good Marl boros
we are so possessed by sweet contentment that none of us
wishes ever to leave, which means no gadding about which
means no driving, which means no parking problem.
But the argument in favor of Marlboros overlooks one im
portant fact: when you run out of Marlboros you must go get
some more, which means driving, which means parking, which
means you’re right back where you started.
Probably the most practical suggestion to alleviate the campus
parking situation is to tear down every school of dentistry in
the country and turn it into a parking lot. This is not to say
that dentistry is unimportant. Gracious, no! Dentistry is im
portant and vital and a shining part of our American heritage.
But the fact is there is no real need for separate schools of den
tistry. Dentistry could easily be moved to the school of mining
engineering. Surely anyone who can drill a thousand feet for
oil can fill a simple little cavity.
This experiment combining dentistry with mining engineer
ing has already been tried at several colleges—and with some
very interesting results. Take, for instance, the case of a dental
student named Fred C. Sigafoos. One day recently Fred was
out practicing with his drilling rig in a vacant lot just off
campus. He sank a shaft two hundred feet deep and, to his
surprise and delight, he struck a detergent mine. For a while
Fred thought his fortune was made but he soon learned that
he had drilled into the storage tank of the Eagle Laundry,
miter P. Eagle, president of the laundry, was mad as all get-
out and things looked mighty black for Fred. But it all ended
well. When Mr. Eagle called Fred into his office to chew him
out, it so happened that Mr. Eagle’s beautiful daughter, Patient
Grisha, was present. For years Patient Griselda had been
patiently waiting for the right man. “That’s him!” she cried
upon spying Fred-and today Fred is a full partner in the Eagle
