GRIPE SESSION:
Freshmen Blame Troubles
On Inadequate Training
By ALICE BRINKMAN
Freshman English, heavy read-
ing assignments, and note -taking
difficulties came in for a big share
of freshman "gripes" at the twen-
tieth annual Principal-Freshman
Conference here yesterday.
"Why didn't they make high
school tougher"? and "Why didn't
they make us write more composi-
tions"? were some of the common-
est questions principals faced.
LARGE ASSIGNMENTS and
Engineers. ..
(continued from Page 1)
JIM HARSANT: I believe that I
am qualified to be secretary of
your class because of experience
gained holding similar positions in
high school. If elected I will do
my best to represent you on the
Engineering Council.
* * w
ARLENE LANGE: I am running
for the office of Secretary of
Freshman Engineers for three rea-
sons: 1. First semester freshmen
should be allowed to have a voice
in their government in the form
of a secretary. 2. The interests of
women should be represented in
the council. 3. I am sincerely in-
terested in helping to make the
activities of the engineers more
enjoyable than ever before.

verine Club urged students plan-
ning to attend the game to buy
tickets as soon as possible.
Only 200 ducats are left for the
game which will be played in Co-
lumbus on Nov. 20. Sales will con-
tinue from 8 a.m. to noon in Rm.

mission for the trip by filling out
special blanks when buying their
tickets.
Art Display Will Close
"Michigan on Canvas," the art
exhibit currently on display in
the Rackham Galleries will close
at 10 a.m. tomorrow.
note-taking have given freshman
John Guettler a "rough time."''
"You don't have the volume of as-
signments in high school that you
do here," he said. "Also they don't
prepare you for taking lecture
notes."
Similar difficulties were echoed
by other students.
The Dean of Jackson Junior
College said his transfers
stressed "heavy reading assign-
ments" and "lack of personal
contact with instructor" as their
main problems.
After hearing student problems
in individual interviews yester-
day morning, visiting principals
got a chance in the afternoon to
put their problems to members of
the panel on 'The Articulation of
High School and College English."
IN REPLAY TO questions of
how to improve high school prep-
aration the panel recommended
that composition experience be
given all through high school
One course in the senior year is
not enough. Exercises, and drills,
moreover, they declared, are not
effective. The only successful
preparation is actual writing.
On the problem of better col-
lege teachers,hProf. Wells de-
clared "English will be better
taught in college when we have
more full-time teachers who are
not worrying about graduate
studies."
"There has been a ten per cent
improvement in the staff this
year," he said.
"We need a bi-partisan policy
in whichhhighrschool and col-
lege teachers are constantly in
touch and trying to improve stand-
ards," he concluded.

Report Way To
Reduce Caries
The kids may not like it, but
Prof. Kenneth A. Easlick of the
public health school has reported
a way to keep their teeth prac-
tically free from cavities.
The plan, described by Dr. Eas-
lick at the 76th annual meeting of
the American Public Health As-
sociation, involves the use of a
sodium flourine solution and an
ammonia liberating dentifrice.
The joker, as far as the young-
sters are concerned is the part of
the plan that involves the restric-
tion of the eating of sweets for
short periods of time.
Dr. Easlick said that t fe of
the flouride solution on children's
teeth has reduced the decay rate
by forty per cent. The flouride
makes the tooth enamel more re-
sistant to acids.

sor at the National Conservatory
