TANGIBLE AWARDS
FOR 'A' STUDENTS
As the end of the school year ncars, grades,
once again, become the chief topic of converSeniors seem to be the only students
sation.
who arc receiving any tangible recognition for
making high grades. It has been more or less
a custom for professors to oftuse seniors from
their examinations if they have a good average
class standings. Tills is one of the most revered
customs of the university. Seniors appreciate
the recognition that Is tendered them for their
four years patient work.
Upperclassmen arc given no recognition for
making exceptionally good grades. There is no
stimulus for them to raise that high B to an
A. Tamlly pride Is all that offers any stimulus
to raise the C to a B, and even then Just so
a standing Is made is really all that Is necessary
to satisfy the average family.
Many institutions of higher learning are beginning cither to recognize the utter futility of
grades or else to offer some tangible award to
stimulate the student to better efforts. Many
people will say that no stimulus should be necessary, that a student will cither make a high
grade or he will not, according to his mental
capacity. We think, they are wrong.
There Is a general feeling among the student
body that grades are unnecessary, that if a
standing Is made that Is enough. In many
ways we agree with them for, after all, there
is truly little recognition given those who make
good grades. There are honorary
scholastic
fraternities who 'recognize the highest of the
those who Just miss the mark
high students, but
arc not recognized. We think that if grades are
to be one of the highest aims oft college that
some tangible award should be made so that
more students will work for them,
The Kernel suggests that the A students be
exempt from their examinations. .'Professors
will say that If they are A students the examinations will be play for them. In other words,
that examinations are a mere gesture of formality as far as the A student is concerned.
This is not a courteous attitude to take toward
the student. If he has worked hard and made
consistent A grades, if he has attended class
regularly as an A student must do, he should
be tendered some reward for his work. We
think that if this little courtesy Were offered
there would be more excellent students. The
, Kernel, as the voice of student opinion, thinks
that it would be appreciated and that it would
be beneficial to the general student attiude.

Y. W. C. A. AND Y. M. C. A.
Members of the university Young Women's
and Young Men's Christian associations will
'hold their retreat at a camp on the Kentucky
The retreat
river during the coming week-enIs held for the purpose of formulating plans
for the work the organizations hope to accomplish during the following school year and is
attended by all the members of the lcoal Y.
W. C. A., and Y. M. C. A. State officers of the
organization speak to the university members
at this time and students and officers collaborate In mapping out the most advisable course
of activity to be followed during the next
two semesters.
Not only does the retreat enable the members to have an enjoyable outing at the most
delightful time of the year but It also makes
possible intelligent consideration of the problems with which the associations arc confronted. Without outside distraction and with the
cooperation and aid of older members of the
organizations, it is possible to plan wisely and
completely fro the coming school year.
