Life on the Campus
By LALINDA LoMOTTE
Star Special Writer


ects college freshman takes And for many it one Of
the most troublesome.
Even some students who had sailed through high school
English with AS BIS find themselves getting DIS or worse
their first college themes. This is a rude shock.
At my school, less than per cent Of the freshman class
made an in English the first semester last year. Only IL

per cent made B, survey revealed while shockngy
high number hunked or barely squeezed through.
And these figures do not include the freshmen-almost
per cent-who we're required to take remedial
before they could enroll in the regular freshman course!
Reasons for Difficulties
The chairman of our English department told me there
are several reasons for student difficulties with writing
First there is big gap between the level required In
most high schools and the quality expected In colleges This
creaSing emphasis the ability to write and speak eec-
lively Colleges getting sensitive about charges that their
graduates don't know how to write acceptabg.
Second, many college freshmen have had very little
writing experience Our department head said that
times he finds that as many as half the students In given
freshman class have written English theme Long
term reports OF research type perhaps but ordinary
original English theme.
Teachers Are OverwOrked
He sumised that many high schools are Overcrowded
and their teachers overwoked so that high school English
teachers simply do not have the time, win not take the
me to grade stacks Of themes So they don't require them
The trend toward ruefalse and multiple choice exami-
nations also reduces writing practice students formerly got
in essaytype examinations.
Even when term reports required in some high
school courses the teachers apparently grade primarily
content and give little attention to writing ability
What adds up hen is that the average high school
graduate is not well prepared for the rigors Of freshman
English in college.
Helpful Suggestions
What can be done about it?
The faculty member interviewed emphasized one sug-
gestion: Make point of writing much you can.
you do great deal of writing in high school, you'll find
will be valuable experience when you begin writing those
weekly themes many colleges require.
Another tip Because you write only well as you read
read as much good literature possible and observe the
writing techniques you find there.
If you already in college and suffering don't get
too discouraged too After ALL II you qualified for
college admission you obviously have the basic intelligence
to handle college courses
&c. you apply yourself your theme grades will improve
with pracve At least that's what the English department
man said.

Jim probably found a note
or something which reminded
him Of you and he simply de-
cided to wish you a happy
birthday. If you want to write
him a short note thanking him
for the card it would be all
right but don't make a big
thing of it.

 Roberts was camped near the Tatanika River on a weekend hunting trip with Robert Bundtzen and Bundtzen's two teen-age sons.
 They were asleep in a tent when Roberts heard a noise outside.
 "I woke up and hollered at the others" he said. Then he the bear) ripped the tent open with his claws and stuck his head in. :"
 Roberts ran from the tent and the bear gave chase.
 We Wrestled around on the ground" said Roberts "I tried to get out from under him. I really thought it was the end of the line.
 :" Get the gun!' I yelled. The bear tried for my throat and then my head. I stuck my right arm in his mouth to keep him from my throat"
 Bundtzen shot and killed the bear as it wrestled with Roberts.
 A passing airplane spotted sig nal fires the hunters set up.
 A heicopter from Eielson Air Force Base was dispatched nd landed at the camp Sunday after noon, about seven hours after the attack. Roberts and one of the boys was flown to Fairbanks.

Chamber Hears Report From
 Hoover and Walsh

l At the Chamber of Commerce
 meeting at non on Monday, Mayor
 Don Hoover and Sen. Pete Walsh
 gave complete and full account
 of their short stay in Washington, DC, where they were sent by the
 people of Nome to plead for re- cognition of the urgent need for
 some kind of modern plumbing for the community.
 They expressed appreciation to Sen. E. l.. Bartlett and his staff who made appointments and "op- ened doors" to the necessary peo-
 pie who had to be contacted on the venture and were surprised to find how much the various agency heads knew about Nome and that they had real interest in our need but because of our limited number of unemployed could not measure our need by their yard stick"
 However, this special delegation did succeed in having Nome placed in a special category for consid- eration with 24 other communities in the 50 states whose situations were unique and who will be given special consideration at a policy meeting prior to today.
 The Chamber gave the delega- ton a vote of thanks for their eff forts and President Frank Couch reported that voluntary contribu- tions totaled S1,132 for the trip with the City of Nome underwrit- ing the mayors expenses.
 We've just begun to fight" he stated and now that we've started, we'll keep right on working until Nome can have the needed facil- itieS"
