As such the selected speak- ers were picked by a committee of all campus organizational repre- sentatives under the guidance of Assistant to the President Erich Walter and Lane Hall Director De- Witt C. Baldwin. The first Mott Lecturer in March, 1953 was Barbara Ward Jackson of the 'London Economist.' How- ever very soon after this lecture, the Foundation announced that it was ending support of the lectures. The Mott group gave $5,000 for the first lecture. It gave no reason for the sudden extermination. According to Walter, the Founda- tion originally decided to sponsor the lectures on "an experimental basis. After the first year's experi- ment,. the Foundation decided to discontinue the series." The University selection of speak- ers will be handled much.as the Mott Lectures were. Selected by a student organiza- tional group, Sir Sarvepalli Radha- krishnan was to address the cam- pus this fall. However Radhakrish- nan, Vice-President of India and widely known Indian philosopher, was unable to appear here at this time. A student committee similar to the one which chose Miss Jackson and Sir Radhakrishnan will meet to choose another possible speaker for this school year.

Landers N ew Board Member By LEE MARKS More than one out of three freshmen who enter college fail to graduate, according to the Sat- urday Evening Post. While poor health, financial reasons, and the draft account for some, the overwhelming majority simply fail, primarily because of major adjustment problems faced by college freshmen. Lack of adequate high school preparation was high on the list of adjustment problems to be met. In the field of English particular- ly, said the article, students are unprepared for the rigors of col- lege work. Prof. Carr Comments Commenting on the difficulty students have with English, Prof. Arthur Carr of the English depart- ment noted, "Colleges everywhere take up where high schools leave off. If high schools did a better job of preparing students, we would simply take up at a higher level. We're always urging high schools to raise their standards in the field of English but even if they did it wouldn't alter the basic problem because we would also raise our standards." "Also, freshmen feel the impact of Enlish faster and harder than they do with other courses," said Prof. Carr, "because they are im- mediately hit with assignments, conferences and themes." Peek Not Pessimistic Prof. George A. Peek of the po- litical science department agreed that one of the main difficulties students face is writing. Peek said, however, "I would not be quite as pessimistic as the Post. If their reasons for students dropping out of school are based on chance im- pressions, I would be inclined to question whether there are as high a percentage of failures as the Post claims."
