Citadel Wins Boxipgr Match (Continued from page three) ing his head on the hardwood floor. Dazed, he came back in but was out pointed. The score 5-2 , the final match came up between heavyweight Ed Hubbard of Carolina and barrel chested Roger Harshbarger of Cita del. The Cadet heavy was much shorter, but built according to olden Toundhouse standards. He delivered his blows accordingly. Hubbard, 20 years old today, kept him constantly backing up with left jabs, which he followed iip with punishing rights to gain a large margin of points in every round. Harshbarger refused to go down for the count, but barely managed to keep his feet at times. That ended the bout, 5-3 in favor of The Citadel.

Readmissions Board States s (Continued from first page) Readmissions and its operations. Student reaction to the Board's la test activity has been critical and ar ticulate. Interested in gaining an in sight into the reactions and opinions of the members of the Board them selves, the writer has interviewed and obtained statements from each. HOBBS Dean Hobbs, chairman of the Board, said that the only unusual aspect of the Board's past sessions was that an unusual number of "senior type stu dent" had appeared before them. "Per haps more intensive extra-curricular distractions this fall than usual have caused these students to fall down in their work," said the Dean, when asked how he explained this "unusual aspect." "I think we can say that both students and faculty here at Carolina want the University to be a school of vigorous and high stand ards of intellectual achievement. We want to be recognized as such . . ; The Board of Readmissions exists only to try to safeguard those standards." The Dean went on to say that the Board has as a principal duty "to see that rules don't incur injustice on stu dents. We never TRY to fire stu dents." He said he was "in favor of reconsidering the Readmissions Board and its techniques," for the purpose of improving them. "Perhaps it would be well," he said, "to adopt ajsystem ot putting failing students on proba tion the first quarter, giving them an other chance to redeem themselves by passing 15 instead of 10 hours work the next quarter." Registrar T. J. Wilson spoke brief ly: "I see no point in making any ex tended statement. The Readmissions Board leans over backward in its fair ness to students." BRADSHAW When asked what his particular re action to the Board's recent actions, Dean of Students Bradshaw said: "I realize afresh the difficult if not impossible situation under which the Board does its work. Increased en rollment and thereby an increased number of cases involved, and the short time" available at registration make an adequate case study impos sible. The procedure then becomes al most a legal trial procedure under which the individual differences are not readily discovered and inequali ties of penalty not easily defended. The Board needs more information about each student, more time for study of each case and more freedom to vary treatment to fit the student's educational , needs. We greatly need also the support of a generally ac cepted personnel point of view. ' By "personnel point of view," Dean Bradshaw explained that what he meant might best be illustrated by a definition given by Mr. D. G. Pat erson, Chairman of University of Minnesota's Committee of Faculty Counselors:" . . . the personnel point of view emphasizes the necessity of approaching every problem of educa tion from the point of view of the student his needs, interests and abil ities in contrast to an institutional point of view of requirements, courses, departmental interests and faculty regulations." CARROLL Dean Carroll, of the Commerce school, twenty-two years a college dean, felt badly about the harsh stu dent criticism of the Board members in a petition (printed in Tuesday's Tar Heel) which branded him as hav ing "blindly autocratic power" and as not being "in contact with student needs." Recounting the history of the Readmissions Board, he pointed out that it was formed specifically "to guarantee fair treatment and justice to all students." At one time the Dean of each school was independent in dealing with student failures. Stu dents were given unequal treatment, causing much dissatisfaction on the part of students who in one school re ceived more stringent treatment than those in another. The present Readmission BoaTd "acts as an equalizing agency for the equal treatment of similar cases." Each dean presents the cases of his own students, making recommenda tions" for their treatment, according to his own particular and special know ledge of the students' situation. These recommendations, said Dean Carroll, are usually accepted by the other Board members. But they are by no means conclusive. "The Board does not put students out of the University. They put them selves out by not passing ten hours of work. On the contrary, the Board makes every effort to find justifica tion for the students re-entrance!" The fact that the Board wrestled some fifty hours on recent cases, and as many as six hours with individual cases, should be "eloquent testimony" to the four Deans' desire to be fair. "The Board," said Dean Carroll, "acts as a cushion which insures stu dents from being kept out of school Murals Have Fast Start (Continued from page three) tion on the intramural calendar for this season. This activity gives prom ise of becoming one of the best liked sports on the campus. It is still a big question on the campus as to what will happen to boxing intramurab, some say that it will be continued this' year, others. that it will not. The intramural de partment has not yet decided. It is my opinion that it should be stopped because of the poor participation in it by the students, and the demon strations by the audience. Table tennis, the minor sport which is usually held in the game room of Graham memorial during the winter quarter, will probably get underway the first week in February, and this time . it will probably be held in Woollen gym. Due to the length of the past bowling tourneys, this sport which is usually run in connection with table tennis, was dropped from the list of mural activities. Four Artists Will Appear (Continued from first page) written by Ottorini Respighi; and "The Orchestra Trio in C Major," the Allegro, ' Andante ma non Adagio, Menuet, Prestissimo, composed by Jo hann Stamitz. Artists appearing on the program are Mrs. Maxine Swalin, pianist; Mrs. Johnsie Bason Burnhan, violinist; Benjamin Swalin, violinist; and Wil liam Elenz, cellist.. NOTED ARTISTS Graduate of Radcliffe college and former 6tudent at the University of Iowa and of, the Juliard School of Music, Mrs. Swalin is an accomplished musician. She is also a talented paint er and is interested in piano litera ture and choral research. Mrs. J. B. Burnham has appeared in Chapel Hill upon several other oc casions, the last being with the Bruch violin concerto of the University Symphony orchestra. A native of North Carolina, she has studied under Jacques Thibaud in Paris. Elenz, who recently gave a cello concert at the University, has studied at the Curtis School of Music, and is at the present time an assistant in the University Music department. Head of the University violin de partment Benjamin Swalin has been with the University for the past four years. He has studied in Vienna where he received a noted doctorate. While abroad, he was the student of Leopold Auer and the world-renowned Kneisel. Mrs. Burnham, has also stu died under many Europeean masters.

"We're trying to carry on education in the far form ideal way. Mass edu cation operating on a lack of money makes an undesirable amount of rou tine requirements necessary if the in stitution is to preserve any kind of academic stndard3 at all. Under the circumstances, a . certain amount of cooperation from students in conform ing to these regulations is necessary in order to prevent academic demorali zation." "Is it too much for the Administra- tion to ask students to pass ten hours I of work a quarter?" Psychologists Against Negroes (Conttnued from ftrrz page) istence of such differences. Attention called to the southern "race problem" by the application of a New York Ne gress for entrance in the graduate school here made it important to know the results of this national sur vey and also what the University psy chologists have to say in this connec tion. NO INHERENT DIFFERENCES The national group, representing an organization of more than 400 pro fessional psychologists, claimed that in the experiments which psycholo gists have made upon different peoples no inherent psychological differences among "so-called races" were evident. Furthermore, the social psychologists say, "... there is no indication that the members of any group are rend ered incapable by their biological her edity of completely acquiring the cul ture of the community in which they live." Psychologists deal with human be havior and individual differences and are thereby interested in problems such as this one and have at hand more specific information than the av erage person. For this reason their attitudes and general opinions on the situation will carry relatively more weight. With the problem brought close at hand by the application of the Negro woman it is interesting to note the reactions of the local psychologists to the question of racial differences and the possible effect of the en trance of negro students in the Uni versity. OPEN QUESTION Dr. Dashiell mentions the results of psychological studies in comparing the intelligence ratings of Negroes and whites and cautions against jumping to conclusions in regard to racial dis tinctions. He says, "Psychological ex aminations of Negroes have usually shawn a somewhat lower intelligence rating, and a rather different emo tional profile. Such results have to be taken with care, however, because of the often-proved importance of cul tural and educational background as influencing the outcome of many kinds of psychological tests, and particular ly those of intelligence." He also warn ed that average results should not be applied to individual cases. Dr. English Bagby, also of the psy chology department, says, "Psycholo gists have failed to show any inherited difference between races. There are psychological characteristics other than capacity, however, that are very stable culture traits and are persis tent and almost as stable as if they were hereditary, for instance domin ant attitudes and motives." Dr. Robert J. Wherry, a psycholo gist interested particularly in statis tics, remarked that in his general opinion if Negroes and whites were admitted in equal numbers to the Uni versity there would be a certain per cent of the Negroes above the mean of the. whites, and that possibly 65 per cent of the whites would be above the average Negro. CRANE SAYS In his opinion gained from contacts with Negroes as students and other wise and not from actual examination, Dr. Harry W. Crane, of the psycho logy department and infirmary staff, feels also that if we consider the Ne gro as a group and the white as a group that there would be a differ ence, that is, the average for the whites would be above the average for the blacks in the conventional mea sures of mental ability. W. J. E. Crissy, instructor in psy chology in the department of educa tion remarked, '"The Negro does not measure up to the white when judged with an intelligence test which has been built to measure intelligence in the white man's environment. Admit ting that the tests are inaccurate to a certain degree, there is still a reliable difference shown between the aver age performances of the two groups. The answer to the question, 'How does the black measure up on the white man's yardstick?' is 'He doesn't.' On the side of the environment as influ encing the Negro's position in such a survey, he said, "Pragmatically we know this. The northern black of the same blood fusion as the southern black exceeds the southern black. Therefore the northern Negro may not have the same adjustment trouble at a southern university, but that still does not solve the southern problem." TENTATIVE VIEW Aside from actual experiments Crissy holds the tentative view that "imposing equal academic environment on a small portion of the Negroes would distort their total environment perspective. The Negro admitted to Carolina would be faced with a grave conflict between academic equality and severe social inequality . . . Even with tolerant students, a Negro's entrance may take effect in the state's back woods area by stirring up the wrath of the people who would see in such a state of affairs the University tend- Frosh Will Hear The Jeep Family Freshmen will be given a luscious treat at assembly Monday morn ing, for that morning, which will be tomorrow morning, will be sig nificant for the first appearance of -3Ir. and Mrs. Jeep" on the cam pus. When it was learned that the recently-wedded'" couple had arrived they were sought out and finally found at the " Rupert Bynum's on Henderson street. After receiving a cordial invita tion to "come see" 'em, they re ceived, "Jeep" sat on the sofa strumming at a guitar, "Sirs. Jeep" humming the melody to a catchy tune. After a few seconds, it was realized that the tune was "I Won't Tell a Soul," rendered in the inimitable manner of , "Mrs. Jeep." ' "For Monday, we're gonna use this," "Jeep" smiled and added,, "and Pauline will do the vocals to several other Humbers." However, regardless of the song titles, the world knows it now, and will know a lot more about it tomorrow. New York Columnist Expounds On Runners (Continued from page three) From there the case may go on and on in any direction. It seldom is fatal, however. Now to get back to North Carolina and Coach Ranson's optimism. Hav ing watched Messrs. Davis, Wakeley, Hendrix, White and Morrison scurry about the indoor track, even as un practiced an eye as this corres pondent's feels that there is basis for Dale's high expectations. Most important, the boys them selves seem to like to run. They paced through a handsome mile, and wanted more, work to boot. They conducted themselves like a serious group who want to go places in a hurry and without mechanical aid. Records are" not broken by ambi tion alone, but it helps. There is no secret to fast running, nor any short cut. The formula consists of a lik ing of the sport, ambition, training and competitive opportunity, proper training and supervision and the right mental attitude. In this respect, Dale's squad of Tar Heel speedsters are extremely 4 fortunate. Incidentally, there wasn't a single bit of tar on any heel of any runner. The writer investigat ed personally, wondering how youngsters who whipped around the wooden saucer so fast could have such sticky stuff on their shoes. JThe Tin Can's indoor track is one of the finest for training in the col- lege realm. Probably many a casual sneer has been tossed at the old metal shed, but there are plenty of college trackmen who would be glad to bave such a training spot. Coach Ranson tells me the curves of the NCU indoor track are identical to the "Millrose" track used in Madison Square Gar den, which offers the NCU boys un usual training advantage for meets in the big House that Tex Built. They'll be up there February 4, de fending the two-mile relay honors that fell to the Carolina quartet last year. And the writer, because he knows Dale and the boys, will be teeing off on his toes in the press box on the mezzanine floor, shouting at the top of his lungs, 'C'mon Davis" and like the typical track bug, not aware that he is even making a noise. YWCA Committees To Meet Tomorrow Night YWCA committees will meet sepa rately tomorrow night for a shcrt program after which they will dis cuss committee plans. The groups will meet at 7 o'clock as follows: Social committee -with Elizabeth Spencer, chairman, in tfc recreation room on fourth floor of Spencer hall; Social Service com mittee with Kathryn Fleming, chair man, in the Episcopal church parish house; and the Finance, Publicity and Art committeeswith their re spective chairmans, Olive Cruik. shank, Connie Thigpen and Marian Brewer in the YWCA cabinet room on second floor of the YMCA building. If any students belong to two of these committees they are to chooe the one in which they are most inter, ested and attend that meeting. In England, a Sunday blue law states that "cut flowers can be bought tn the Sabbath, but no potted plants." Patronize Our Advertisers. ing toward radicalism. . . More ap propriate would be more equal segre gated4 educational opportunities for Negroes and the improvement of their home and community life." ' Dr. Bagby, Dr. Wherry, Dr. Crane, and Mr. Crissy agreed in the opinion that the admittance of the Negro to Carolina classrooms would be undesir able from both Negro's point of view and the students' point of view. Dr. Crane, a psychologist with wide clinical experience, summarizes the feeling of the whole department in the statement, "Negroes would be unde sirable here. It is only fair that they should have an equal chance, but they would not have an equal chance sim ply because they may be given equal instruction. The emotional strain would make their work not as ef fective. They would: be a distracting influence to many of our students.
