CHEERLEADER MEETING KENAN STADIUM THIS AFTERNOON 3:00 CHEERLEADER MEETDG KENAN STADIUM THIS AFTERNOON 3 :C0 C volume XXXIX FRESHMAN STUD TRAITS SHOVM IN RESULTS OF TEST; Scores of Psychology Test Given To Freshmen Returned to Office of Dean. , The scores on the psychology test given to the freshmen at the beginning of the year have been returned from Washing ton. Freshmen wishing to know their scores may do so by calling at Dean Bradshaw's office on the second floor of South building between the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock on any day except Saturday. The practice of giving psy chology tests was started in 1922 and this year's test was the ninth. The first two were of different types, but the last sev en have teen the same. These tests are not to be considered strictly intelligence tests, but rather tests of college ability or the ability to do college work. The tests do hot always do justice to the students, accord ing to Mr. Bradshaw,' for the Teason that some students are slow to think. The student who can think rapidly, making good guesses when he is not certain, is usually the student who makes the best grade, while a student who knows just as much, but who thinks more slowly, will not do nearly so well. Bradshaw has made a com parison of the students whose grades were low with those whose grades werehigh and the results show that from the test3 one can judge whether or not the student will do passing work. The following table shows the scores of 3500 freshmen to gether with the percentage of failures. The students are di vided into ten groups. The highest scorers start at the top and go down to the lowest scor ers. -Rank Percent to.

HOUSE em; T QOSS AT CLASS SMOKER Says Spiritual Growth of Indi viduals Is Standard by Which University Is Judged. "Graduate not from, but into the idea of a university," said Robert B. House, executive se cretary of the University, in an address to the senior class Tues day evening at an informal smoker held in Swain Hall. "The Class of 1931 has seen a great development in Carolina in the last four . years," con tinued Mr. House, "but it is the spiritual, internal growth of each arid every one of you, while in this University, that sets the standard by which this or any educational institution is .judg ed. I would prefer that you look upon the .material develop ment as essential and necessary, but only as an integral part of the whole idea of a university; take from Carolina, not customs and habits, but the idea that it inspires a thirst for know ledge, an incentive for learning, and a desire to know, and to know that you know." Mr. House is very popular among members of the class and his presence there was consider ed quite an honor to the body.

In two cases that have come up before the Student Council this year, a junior has been put on strict drinking probation and a freshman has been sentenced to indefinite suspension from the university for stealing and ly ing. :, ,;: . The first case was disposed of last week when a junior was reported to the council for drinking. He was put on strict drinking probation which means that in case of any viola tion he will be automatically suspended from the university. The second case was reported Monday when a student who had been away, over the week-end found that a sum of money he had left in his room had been taken. The" Council worked two whole days investigating the case and closed it Tuesday night. From a number of clues fol lowed by the council, enough evidence was found, to convict the roommate of the victim of the theft. He was brought be fore the council and the evi dence was presented. When the suspect testified in his own behalf, it was found conclusively that he was lying, which in itself is punishable by indefinite suspension. In reporting the case, tne counciL. commented that ,"Mr. X., a freshman, was sentenced to indefinite suspension from the university for conclusive evi dence of guilt in stealing from his roommate; and for lying to the council acting in official ca pacity." Red Greene, president of the student body, said yesterday that this was the first case of steal ing reported this year; and that in such cases the whole council investigates all possible clues. He requests that when any. lar cenies take place where students are involved, the council be noti fied immediately. .
