STUDENTS MAKE
BETTER GRADES
Dr. DashieU Finds That Op
tional Attendance , Tends To
Lower Marks Made By Stu
dents. Many have been the conjec
tures and opinions voiced re
cently in regard to the relative
advantages and defects of the
system of optional attendance
until recently in force on the
campus. Dr. Dashiell of the
psychology department,., becom
ing interested in the question,
has tabulated results based on a
study of the records of 4ndi-
yiduals taking Psychology I and
II. He declares, however,; that
observation of attendance re
sults had no subjective influence.
upon him in the giving . of
grades. The table is as follows :
Term grade : A B C D F
Absent (I) .8 1.3 2.3 5.1 6.5
Absent (II) .3 1.8 2.2 4.5 4.2
There are two interpretations
to be placed upon these results.
The many absences may - have
caused the low grades, or the
low-grade students are perhaps
the ones prone to take too many
absences.
A further interesting fact
brought out by Dr. Dashiell is
that, although the lecturer in the
courses referred to above was
lecturing definitely and exactly
from a text book written by
himself, the better students
seem to have profited from the
muchly maligned lecture sys
tem. ;
It is hoped that similar results
may be obtained from other
classes to confirm the evidence.

matics seminar Wednesday af
ternoon, Professor Horace Wil
liams, head of the department of

In his talk, Professor Wil

TROUPti STARTS
ON TOUR TODAY
Playmakers Will Present Three
One-Act Plays On Western
Trip.
The
Carolina Playmakers '
leave today for a tour of cities
and towns in the western part
of; the state. Carrying with
them the same casts that made
the recent southern tour, they
will produce the same plays pre
sented on that trip., These plays
are: "The , No. 'Count Boy" by
Paul Green, "Job's Kinf oiks" by
Loretto Carroll Bailey, and
"Magnolia's Man" by Gertrude
Wilson Coffin.
"The No 'Count Boy" is a
fantastic negro comedy dealing
with the attempts of "a colored
minstrel to win a dusky maiden
by, his fabrications about dis
tant and enchanting lands.
. The stern struggle of a fam
ily of mill workers; forms ; the
basis of Loretto Bailey's play.
Here the younger generation is
fighting for release, the mother
fighting . a . crushing system.
"Truly these are Job's kinf oiks."
Of a much lighter vein, "Mag
nolia's Man" centers about the
attempts of a spinster to get a
husband. The scene is laid in
a mountain village back, in the
early days of the twentieth cen
tury. The plot provides a good
deal of 'comedy.
