News From Point Hope
{ From the AMIGA News )

Alec M. Melik, acting manager of the Point Hope Native Store, sent us this very newsy letter:
 MT. and Mrs. Rowland Cox are back from their vacation in the States and again performing their duties in the St. Thomas Mission.
 Some of the residents are back from theia seasonal jobs, and again adjusting themselves to hunting and .dogteams. I would also like to mention that Jimmie Killigvuk is back from his long visit with his children and fam flies in the southeastern part of Alaska. Those who know him can guess that he brought back a bag full of Eskimo songs of his own rendition, which are much liked by the Eskimo dancer.
 It will once again stir the urg- ing bug of Big Game hunters .. that the Polar Bears are again roaming OCT the plain. The local hunters are getting polar bear just about every day whenever the weather is good. I'm sure the season will yield her increase more abundantly than previous years.
 MT. Frederick Fisher, the ANS teacher here, caught his first oogruk (that weighed a good half ton some time ago, and he is looking forward to shooting his first Polar Bear.

ASTRONOMY NOTES
 By OLAF HALvERSON

A very interesting Christmas story is associated with the con- stellation Orion, which unques- tionably is the finest of the con stellations.
 Orion can be located easily by means of three bright stars lying nearly in straight line in the middle of the constellation. They represent the belt of the giant hunter, Orion.
 To many children in warmer climates in the West Indies and South America, the three bright stars making up the belt of Orion represent the Three Wise Men riding their camels across the sky seeking to find the Christ Child.
 It is believed by the southern people that on certain night the camels descend to the earth to leave presents for all the children under their beds.
 The children are eager to help the camels on their journey, and so they leave a little bundle of straw beneath their beds.

Past Xavier 60

New Orleans, La, Nov. TO-
Bethune Goodman of Daytona
Beach, Fla, had the punch when
it was needed and defeated the
Gold Rush of Xavier University by
d 60 count. This victory gives
Bethune Goodman undisputed sec
ond place in the Southern Inter-
collegiate Athletic Conference.
Rufus Adams, 100 pound half
back for the Wildcats, was the diff
ference between victory and defeat
for the winners. Adams ran
through the middle, off-tackle, and
around end for damaging gains
and kept his team in possession of
the ball.
With no score in the first half,
Bethune Goodman took the pigskin
on their own Is and drove "a yards
to I'd in the third period. Earl
Sykes broke through left tackle for
nine yards and the score. AS the
clock licked away the minutes the
six points looked larger and larger
to the desperate Gold Rush. Three
times they started what looked like
successful drives but each time a
pass interception broke the hearts
of the Xavier squad.
Early in the game Xavier Quar-
terback Ronald Chenier had en-
gineered a 68-yard drive but it was
stopped at the Bethune Goodman
12-yard line. Dale Post and Percy
Evans were outstanding for the
Gold Rush forward wall. Bruce
Butler, right guard, and Willie
Speed, left guard, teamed up to
stop most of the Xavier plunges.
1t was anybody's game up to

Especially
For Teachers

This is for teachers. Those about
to become teachers, or undecided,
or otherwise interested may listen
in, of course.
President Benjamin F. Wright
Of Smith College says it takes too
long for the average teacher to
earn his doctor Of philosophy de-
gree. Often eight years, he says.
And by that time the goal is cross
ed the teaching by the teacher
thereafter can be impaired. Ger
tainly as to it's inspirational quail
ity, one might think. DR.. Wright
implies the degree requirements
are at fault. Three to four years
of writing and research beyond
the bachelors degree are enough,
he thinks.
Something else is at fault, too.
AS as rule teachers who spend long
years working toward their Ph.D.
do so through economic necessity
as much as through excessive de-
mands of advisors and examining
committees. Most would prefer
to put in shorter period of
concentrated work. And, we would
hazard a guess, most of the col
leges and preparatory schools which
employ them would much prefer 10
grant them one or more sabbath
cal years if they could afford
to. But institutional budgets and
families to feed are more inexora-
bel taskmasters than even the ira
dition that has made an M. A. for
high school and a Phi. D. for col
lege teaching almost necessity.
There is something else wrong
with the Pho. for most teachers
as distinct from research experts.
The American Ph.D. requires that
the candidates make an addition
to knowledge" Demonstrated COM
petence in synthesizing and in
terpreting knowledge is not enough.
Yet that is what four teachers out
of five are called upton to do -
to lead their students toward a
comprehension of the wide world

around them.
The lengths to which candidates
are often driven in order to find
some nook or corner of unplowed
ground to cover in doctorial theses
are grotesque indeed. Granting
that scholarly research is an I'M

tical and judicial thinking, COM
