It's time to begin the1 process of
eduenting students and .ilso to
examine the- means of learning
The first criterion of learning
is that the student h ive a desire
to learn The- second professois
of adequate ability and motive- to
piesent as many aspects of i par-
tieul ii subject as is necessary for
a student to learn to make a re-
sponsible individual choice
The above mentioned criteria
presuppose an open-mindedncss
on the part of professor and stu-
dent and willingness to become
paitners in the creative process
For a classroom situation to be
a "creative endeavor" at un-
earthing the meaningful truths
of wisdom there must be a free
and unprejudiced exchange of in-
formation between students and
professors
The classroom must be an
arena exhibiting life's situations
whereby the observers can arrive
at their own conclusions through
a reasonable process of creative
logic If only student opinion is
present or if only a prof's pet
theories arc aired the classroom
experience can become a stale
period for memorizing and mouth-
ing "A classroom where the pre-
vailing orthodoxy of the teacher's
ideas prescribes the expression
and consideration of the ideas of
students is a classroom in which
little significant learning can
occur" (Edward Weir THE
EDUCATIONAL FORUM May
1003 p 430)
A professor must make all sides
of an issue known and at the
same time reveal his own deep
convictions for honest evaluation
by the students
A student must be willing to
challenge the validity of any
position especially that of his
professor When we become so

in oiderlj level is the path to
knowledge-
We- at McMurry have some ex-
cellent professors but it is to
some degree our responsibility as
students to sec that these pro-
fessors allow adequate freedom
for students to join in the learn-
ing process
We must join the process of
le irning with open minds youth-
ful courage and proper humility
to begin the task of equipping
oui selves with the tools of knowl

JUST TOO OLD
to wear talcum powder and too
young to wear wrinkle cream
but you've got the conect qualifi-
cations to wear that green shmc
beanie if you aio entering Mc
Murry College as a freshman this .
fall
ENTERING COLLEGE
is not really such a big step after
all the steps here arc just about
the same size as the ones leading
into your old high school build-
ing Whon you come to college
the first year you leave behind
your past achievements as leaders
and upperclassmen to take your
place as lowly slimes
FIRST OF ALL
if you are a freshman be sure
to get that green beanie at the
bookstore located in the sub
Then be prepared to ' button up"
to repeat the Slime-So-Lo the
Alma Mater and the Fight Song
when requested to do so by an
upperclassman '
tp v-tt Tncf I
your slime cap there's not too
much to worry about because
you'll get it back eventually In
the meantime it's traditional for
the freshman to wear a paper
sack on his head Last year it
seems that one boy just couldn't
keep up with his slime cap so he
spent his freshman year under a
sack
BE CAREFUL . .
of those overly clean upper class-
men who may volunteer to wash
and starch your slime caps
Laundrying just doesn't help the
color or the looks of your cap
a bit
PRESENTATION
of slime caps to the unfortunate
freshmen who have lost them is
done in an assembly. The head
cheerleader brings out a boxful
of caps to be passed out to their
owners A name is called out
and that poor slime has to parade
up in front of the auditorium to
claim his cap
SQUARE THAT CAP
Slime and wear it at all times
except when in buildings or dor-
mitories If McMurry wins its '
homecoming game you can take
off those green beanies but if
McMurry loses the beanies have
to be worn until Thanksgiving
Slimes must walk on the side-
walks at all times and be courte-
ous to upperclassmen
DON T WORRY
too much about your low position
as a slime because eventually you
will join the ranks of being an
upperclassman And remember
no matter what you hear a lot of
people like college why they f-
even study a little so they can
come back the next year
