THE WESCOLITE WELCOMES SIGNED CONTRIBUTIONS. THOSE PRINTED DO NOT NECESSARILY REFLECT THE OPINIONS OF THE STAFF. Why Not Use It? Each year, every student who attends WMCE pays a certain amount of money into a fund that is designed for use on the campus that will benefit the students as a whole. This fund is administered by the student affairs committee and it is supposed to be expended in full each year. This purpose being so that the students who pay this money each year will experience the benefits of it. Yet, every year there seems to be quite a large portion of this money left, and it is carried over until the next year when it is added to and hoarded again. True, there are some benefits that are seen but there could be a lot more that would be enjoyed by all. One sugges tion that has been voiced over and over again by many stu dents on campus is “Why don’t we get some really good en tertainment, a big name band or something on this order?” I think that this would be a very good means of putting this idle money to use. With the recent election of the new student affairs com mittee, maybe this article will put a “bug” in their ears and we, the students of Western, will reap some of the benefits that we have the right to expect. Leslie L. Chapin Education Revisted In years gone by the editorial section of the Wescolite has aired a vast variety of grievances and complaints suffered by Western’s students. Quite possibly some of these injustices have been issues that were entirely genuine, even justifiable. At any rate it seems the supply of unhappy students is going to be inexhaustible and may only be surpassed by the plausible avalanche of future tribulations. Should this be the sorry state confronting future authors of the editorial, I hur riedly dedicate these lines to what is ironically the only real problem this college or its students are guilty of. The problem is the simple and indisputable plight of edu cation; becoming so ironic because it is in last place among those issues which seem to be of such drastic concern to the student body. If, for the sake of education, we must reprimand our own laziness, then it must be done. It is with due consideration that I now give mention to a most unbecoming reality which is in itself the instigator of this article. This is the recent oc currence of student teacher rejections for the sole reason of educational incompetency. The very thought of this should speak for itself. Further let us consider such matters as the student who is so concerned over teacher’s wages. It is for the student to prepare himself for teaching and not for the teaching profes sion to prepare its standards for the student. The pursuance of a more worthy monetary status is not a part of our curri culum. Surely it is noble to teach, but is it not as dangerous as it is noble, should our teachers not prove to be as good as those who are now teaching the generation of people so intently sworn to overthrow our way of life. There is little that one can say that has not already been said regarding the plea for better education. We must, there fore, acquire for ourselves what in this age would be the un common virtue of a common desire to do better. It must, of course, begin here because it is the college that owns the re sponsibility. Finally it can only be realized through the deci sion of the individual, whether or not the majority will make a return to education. — Ed Zink Personalities Of The Week Our two seniors this week are old classmates that graduated from Ennis High in 1959. Jay Erdie enrolled at Western with the thought of becoming a teacher. He decided on becoming a teacher while still in high school. Upon graduation, Jay re ceived a scholarship to help with his education. While at Western, Jay has been vice-president of SEA as well as being active in many other campus functions. Jay has never had too many dates at school, but he has stated that there are certain girls he would like to date. If you lose sight of Jay winter quarter, it is because he will be student teaching in his fields of business and physical education. Our second senior, Larry Love, transferred from MSC winter quarter of his freshman year. He decided that teaching would be a good field in which to enroll. Larry has two majors: social science as his first major and physical education as his second major. At present Larry enjoys his directive coaching, but at this time we have heard that his class is accident prone. As for his hobbies, Larry rates hunting first. We have also learned that Larry has other interests, but he refuses to reveal them. Larry, like Jay, will be student teaching next quarter. This week’s spotlight focuses on a gal who needs no help in be ing distinguished; she shines on her own. Last week named to Who’s Who, Mary Paullin re ceived an award reflective of her achievements at Western. Mary has been a consistent honor roll student and for this has received several scholarships. An active member of Chanticleers and IVCF, she has been an offi cer of the latter. You will prob ably see her watching any bas ketball game and in addition to enjoying this, she likes to sew. Next year Mary, who is an Ele mentary major minoring in so cial studies and English, hopes to teach in western Montana. The next senior to take the stage is Mike McCarthy, better known as “Pea” (short for Pat, I’m told) to his close friends. This Elementary Education and his tory major comes to Western from the Copper City. A strong supporter of SEA and WASC, Mike also finds time for sports and manages to get in a little card playing now and then. Mike’s having worked in Reno, Nevada summers may influence his ca reer; he plans to be south-bound to teach after graduation. We are never deceived; we de ceive ourselves.
