Newsman Calls Election A 'Miracle'
By TEVIS BENNETT

Thursday Associate Editor

John F. Kennedy "has passed a miracle in
getting elected, but he didn't pass it by much, Martin. Agron-skradio and television news analyst, said Friday night.
Speaking on "The Road Ahead" at a lecture sponsored by the

Concert-ForuSeries,' Agronsky, in a voice well
known ta millions of Americans, said a big problem confronting Kennedy during the campaign was President Eisenhower's personality and
his persuasive voice.
"Kennedy was also' faced with the problem of convincing the
American public that what they thought to be good was really not so
m

good.

He elaborated by giying examples of the vote splitting patterns
in Connecticut, Florida, and Illinois, saying that inconsistencies existed among the farmers, suburbanites, and other classes.
"Instead of the state candidates running on the tall of the Presidential candidate, they ran way ahead. The pattern of voting was
bewildering," he said.
"What puzzles us la --the past election, is the role religion played.
I think it did establish that the United States has come a long way
since 1928. but it also showed that we have a lot farther to go."
"It does appear that the Cathoilo vote was s great help to Kennedy.- However, the election of a Roman Cathoilo does not necessarily
indicate a high degree of religious ' tolerance,1 the news analyst
pointed out.
Agronsky noted that election statistics show Kennedy's vote in

* The Punishing Midterms
or turn in grades a letter grade below
those actually earned, what validity
can these reports have?
Not only is the thing an irritating
bother to. the academic staff, it is distinctly disadvantageous to students.
Before the initiation of midterm grade
reports, professors usually distributed
exams rather evenly throughout a semester. Now it is a rare student indeed who doesn't have an exam every
day of the week before midterm
grades are due. An average student
may find himself cramming for five to
six exams in one week.
We can also imagine a professor's
attitude toward objectively criticizing
his students' achievements after he
has graded about 100 exams, still has
another 50 to go, and then has to compile his report in one day.
The only apparent reason we' can
see for continuing to issue midterm
grades is to determine whether a student is passing prerequisites for
courses in which he desires to
and this is not a pressing
need. Students enrolled in such
courses could get a simple statement
from their instructors stating that they
are passing them which would serve
the same purpose as midterm grades.
It seems rather absurd to punish
the entire University community for
something that the Greeks once wanted and don't even need any more.

Having recently completed several
days of frenzied academic exhibitionism known as midterm examinations,
we now find ourselves wondering why
we have midterm exams anyway.
If our memory serves us correctly,
the campus gods Greek ones, that is
demanded them several years ago and
got them. It was the custom then for
fraternities and sororities to require
midsemcstcr grade reports from their
pledges. Thus, once a semester, the
professorial ranks were stormed by
hundreds of underclassmen begging
for written judgments of their scholastic attainments.
After years of tolerating these intrusions upon pedagogic sanctum,
University moguls decided it was time
to do something about ihem. Did they
forbid them? Of course not. They
made them democratic. Henceforth,
all students would be given midterm
exams and grade reports. It was a
great victory for the Greeks.
Now, several years later, we find
ourselves doubting the wisdom" of
midterm grades. With the institution
this semester of deferred fraternity
rush, fraternities no longer need midterm grade reports from their pledges.
Thus, the only groups now requiring
midterm grade reports are sororities.
In the face of admissions by some
professors that they give their students "blanket 'C'sm at midsemester

Viewing The Great Hole
Watching the emergence of the
great hole in the ground which will
hold the new science building has
usurped the Grill's position as No. one
time waster on campus. The arrival
of the construction crew with its power shovels and bulldozers has turned
teachers and students alike into side
walk superintendents, and not since
Hemingway has earth moving been
such a fascinating pastime.
We, too, have been among the observers standing on the rim of the
great pit and we feel that we must
raise a feeble voice in protest.
We raise no objection to construction of the science building which is
d
addition to the Unia
versity plant. We aren't even protesting the disruption of classes in all
buildings near the excavation, as we
know the clamor is a necessary prelude to the new building which must
be endured just as we endure power
mowers in the spring.
We are not protesting the din
which begins at 5 a.m. and renders
study in the Quadrangle and Library
impossible until after 10:30 p.m. We
know the long hours are necessary
if the hole is to be dug before the
snows come.
We even applaud the construction's unexpected contribution to the
academic program and to students'
welfare. The noise has improved attendance at 8 o'clock classes by making sleep impossible and has salved
much-neede-

n
the consciences of many
Romeos by providing an excuse for
not studying until after the 10:30 p.m.
curfew hour for women.
We carry no grudge against the
workers for destroying the romantic
cedar-linelane, one of the few really
attractive spots on campus, and we
don't really mind seeing the thousands
of hours of labor which went into rolling and packing the tennis courts destroyed by giant bites of the voracious
machines.
But there is one aspect of the entire operation which does incur our
wrath. We just can't stand mute and
watch the workmen brazenly violate
the University regulation which for
years has required that sneakers be
worn on the tennis courts.
