They aren't interested in academic excellence. Most think they couldn't cut it in a program of academic exceUence, What they arent told but perhaps sense is that few positions and fortunes are based on academic exceUence. Rich intellectuals have inherited fortunes and can become presidents if they aren't shot on the way to the office. Participation in group activities requiring discipline (this unfortunately excludes love-ins, but Marine corps are good, very good) contributes more to the material fortunes and general health of poor students than excessive straining for academic excellence.

INTRAMURALS Although Western offers no competitive academic scholarships, that $1 x 10 to the 6th power for needy students seems highly civilized and academicaUy excellent But if the students reaUy want to financially reward academic performance, let them contribute one dollar pei quarter to a fund to be prorated at commencement among the top students of each department Proration should be based on the number of majors in each department. Let them make it five dollars per quarter and there reaUy should develop some academic competitiveness on campus. This would so please most faculty that they would contribute generously to such a fund I contributed $100 to the Big Cat Club; I'd contribute an equal amount to a Smart Cat Club.
