EDITOR'S DESK The o t h e r day we h e a r d of a unique solution one school used in an a t t e m p t to solve t h e i r complex e x t r a - c u r r i c u l a r problem — t h a t b e i n g to dissolve e v e r y t h i n g , u n d e r the t h e o r y t h a t w h a t is a c t u a l l y needed will rise a g a i n of itself. While not a d v o c a t i n g c a m p u s a n a r c h y , w e wonder if t h i s principle would have application h e r e — and possibly even extended into the a r e a of c u r r i c u l u m revision w h e r e so much s t u d y and r e s e a r c h h a s been done only to stand naked because of personal prejudice. *

On t h e eve of T h a n k s g i v i n g v a c a t i o n the college o r c h e s t r a p r e sented its initial p r o g r a m . While not c l a i m i n g to be, in competence, m o r e t h a n t h e a v e r a g e j u d g e of a musical p e r f o r m a n c e , we could u s e the s t a n d a r d j a r g o n and say t h a t Mr. M a r t i n g a v e a " c a p a b l e p e r f o r m a n c e of a m o n u m e n t a l m o v e m e n t , " Miss J o n k e r " i n t e r p r e t e d S a i n t Saens w i t h u n d e r s t a n d i n g a s well as a b i l i t y " , and Mr. Pool " m a t c h e d his unquestioned technique with compelling emotive e x p r e s s i o n . " While a good crowd was on hand, it should h a v e been a f u l l house. W h e n o p p o r t u n i t i e s f o r g r o w t h p r e s e n t t h e m s e l v e s , only to be s h u n n e d , is it a n y w o n d e r t h a t the question of a p a t h y is periodically r a i s e d ? N a t u r a l l y , it is a question of v a l u e s and i n t e r e s t s , j u s t as s o m e ask us f o r m o r e s p o r t s in t h e Anchor while o t h e r s challenge the devotion of a whole p a g e to t h e Athletic p r o g r a m . But it does seem t h a t t h e r e should be a quest f o r t h e i m p r o v e m e n t of o u r intellects outside of t h e classroom. W h y does the s t u d e n t become mired in the sludge of p u r e a c a d e m i cism? The obvious a n s w e r is t h a t t a n g i b l e r e s u l t s a r e i m m e d i a t e l y realized — a g r a d e . *
