Navy and Marine Groups To Register This Week Planning Problems Cancelled Sessiom According to Statement from Bradshaw Talk of a possible short term for members of the Navy V-l, V-7 and Marine Reserves was killed yesterday by a statement from Dean Francis F. Bradshaw that "these groups will not be re quired to attend a special term between the end of the Spring quarter and July 1." A short session for these trainees was considered when the Navy Department indicated that it did not wish to have them lose the period before the official course is inaugurated, but as a result of difficulties encounter ed in planning the two summer programs, plans for it were abandoned. . Planning will proceed for the Navy courses on the basis of a trial registration to be held for the reservists in Dr. W. D. Per ry's office this week and cards have been sent to all members informing them of the registra tion. Registration for V-l, V-7, and Marine reservists will take place in alphabetical or der. Office hours are 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 2-4 p.m. in 206 South building. Monday, A through D; Tuesday, E through G; Wed nesday, H through M; Thurs day, N through R; Friday, S through Z. Special short term courses may be arranged for students who feel that they need them ur gently in order to complete some required course which cannot be satisfied "on the Navy program. Such students should notify Dr. Perry of their needs, and "the University will do what it can to provide for them," Bradshaw said. Navy Program Swinging into action July 1, the Navy program will provide from one to four years of col lege work for men enlisted un der the various reserve pro grams. The Navy will operate on a semester, or 16-week schedule, which fails to coincide with the Psychology Head Dashiell Began Separate Department Housed, in a building within a building, the psychology depart ment was moved into its present site in 1928 and has since taken over the entirety of Old West except for the Di Hall on the top floor. When the department was moved from Peabody, where it re sided for the first eight years of its academic life, to Old West the problem of remodeling the latter building arose. Alumni in sisted that the outside of thef building remain the same; de partmental officials insisted that the inside be remodeled to fit the needs of a rapidly expanding department. Dr. J. F. Dashiell, first and only head of the de partment, solved the problem by drawing the prints for the re modeling. 30 Courses Offering a total of some 30 odd courses, the psychology de partment was born as such with Dr. Dashiell's arrival on the campus in 1919. "I got here first," the Hoosier from the middle of the Mid-West ex plains, "so they made me the head man. Just beat the rest to it, that's all." Of course the fact that the eminent Dr. Dashiell had previ ously been a member of the fac ulties at Princeton, the Univer sity of Minnesota, Oberlon and numerous summer schools prob acy had some influence with South building in proving his Buy War Bonds' 7 - 414S, F-SU7 NUMBER 159 rt . f 4' .X Sss, S- Aii. -if-5 i BRADSHAW University's quarter system for civilian students. The additional course machinery necessitated by the change was largely re sponsible for the cancellation of plans for the short term. The four-week period will af ford a vacation for the men who will be attending school 48 weeks out of the 52 under the new pro gram, especially since there have been no vacations since January 6 of this year. The Navy has not indicated at what intervals the leave periods will occur under the new system.

The degree he had from Columbia university undoubted ly decided them. Early Stage At the time of his arrival, there was no separate psycholo gy department. Courses in psy chology were offered under the departments of philosophy and education. Next year psychology at Carolina came into its own, with Dr. Dashiell at its head, and with no assistants. He re calls one time when he had 75 essay test papers to correct, in addition to keeping up with his regular 18 hours per week of teaching. "I kept the papers for about two weeks. Then I handed them back without correcting them. I just told the boys I couldn't do it, and from then on all tests in this department have been of the objective type, where the answers are either right or wrong."
