j Honor students are probably
' more brilliant today than they
I were a generation ago, but
students generally are lazier
about their thinking. , •
That's tin* opinion of Miss
Norma Egg, who is retiring as
assistant professor of English at
Texas Western College,
Miss Egg has taught for 36
years. She has been at. Texas
, Western for all but to years.
Students prefer to remember
rather than think these days
Miss Egg said.
Standards Are Lower
Many students are going to
j college today who would not

j w hich accounts for the fact that
standards for freshmen art- now

: about more and more, or when
a student specializes, he learns
j min e and more about less and

While Miss Fgg has been list

jin them honest, ingctrlty, thor
| oughness, punctuality and care
fulness.
! She often told them that il
one is careless in one thing he
Will he in another. And some
times that carelessness may
cause you to kill someone, per
haps in a ear accident or by fill
ing a prese-ription incorrectly.

A Rewarding Career
