Horace Williams
WorriedByLack
Of Scholarships
Head of Philosophy Department
Has Twenty Applicants Al
ready for Kenan Awards.
Dr. Horace Williams, head of
the philosophy department of
the University, has long taken
pride in the fact that he has
helped many of his students
solve their problems.
But Dr. Williams now finds
himself against a stone wall on
a problem he himself faces. Only
two fellowships in philosophy
are offered by the University
graduate school each year, and
to date no less than twenty
candidates have applied for
these two for next year.
Maybe somebody will come
along and alleviate Dr. Williams'
distress by establishing some
more fellowships. That's about
the only way he hopes to solve
this problem, for he recognizes
it is going to be powerfully dif
ficult to pick two men from
twenty good candidates.
The two fellowships now
available were established by
Mrs. Graham Kenan in memory
of her husband, who was an
alumnus and trustee of the Uni
versity. They are supported by
the income from an endowment
of $25,000.
Applicants this year include
students from India, Harvard,
Pennsylvania, Oxford, and Vir
ginia.
SENATE FAILS TO
CONSIDER GRANT
(Continued from first page)
nearest approach the session
saw to any attempted flights of
oratory was Larry Moore's at
tack against the Library Com
mission, which he proposed to
abolish. After nearly an hour's
fighting Senator Moore received
not a single vote in support of
his stand.
The postponement of the Uni
versity item until today was
seen as a stragetic move to en
able the Senate to docket the
Francis bill as a special order
and at the same time give the
educational forces more time for
organization. Little hope was
held, however, that the Univer
sity figures would be raised to
$832,000 unless the Senate was
in a state of mind to support a
sales-tax.
The figures passed yesterday
in most instances uphold the
figures of the joint appropria
tions committee calling for a
total of nearly $83,000,000, as
against the House bill of $79,
000,000. These figures will car
ry an estimated biennial appro
priation $4,000,000 more than
the House bill and restores sal
aries to sixty-three per cent of
normal.
The discussion of the day was
monopolized by Senator Clem
ent, chairman of the investigat
ing committee, and Senator Lar
ry Moore, who set himself up as
an authority on all the items on
the bill. Senator John Sprunt
Hill, of Durham and Orange,
frequently came forward in a
quite Murphian manner to settle
the Senate disputes. The only
spark of life in the session was
furnished by the Hill-Moore
controversy over the treasury
item which showed signs of ap
proaching the Bowie-Turner
fights of last week's House ses
sion.
At the conclusion of the ex
ecutive and administrative fig
ures, the Senate reported its
progress, and turned to a mo
' tion that the Francis bill be
given a special tabling which
would make it immediately fol
low the appropriations bill. The
motion carrying, the Senate ad
journed until 11:00 o'clock to
day.

Results Indicate Advantages Of
Freshman Department Placements
- o
Grades of Better Prepared English Students Also Show Generally
Better Preparation in All Other Subjects; Some Stu
dents Now May Take Sophomore English.
o
From the results of the Eng
lish placement test, quiz on fun
damentals, given to freshmen
during orientation week, and
from an original composition
written by the entrants, the
English department attempts to
classify students according to
ability. Approximately fifty of
those whose indicated profi
ciency was quite superior were
placed in two advanced sections,
while about the same number,
whose papers showed that they
had been inadequately prepared
for freshman English were
placed in sub-freshman English,
known to the campus at large
as English 0.
Students placing between these
two extremes were sectioned
without regard for differences
within these extremes. These
arrangements, made on the basis
of the quiz, were tentative and
were subject to checks made
rom observation of the , stu
dent's actual work in the first
weeks of the fall quarter. It
was decided that students might
be promoted or demoted at any
ime. .
Tests Reliable
The general reliability of the
placement tests given in Eng-
ish is indicated by figures ob
tained on the work of the fresh
men placed in an advanced sec
tion known as the "Flying
Squadron." Of forty-eight people
none flunked English. And of
twenty-two men in one advanced
section on the basis of this place
ment test, fifteen made the hon
or roll for the first quarter. All
made "C" or above in English,
and there were only five failures
on all courses taken by the twenty-two,
three of which were con
tributed by one man. In addi
tion to being a rather conclusive
proof that these tests are accu
rate, the results show a close
correlation between the prepara-!

tion of students for English
work and their general prepara
tion for University scholastic
work.
An application of the results
of the" placement system this
session was the promotion of
certain students in advanced sec
tions to English 21 at the' be
ginning of the spring quarter.
This promotion, one quarter in
advance of the normal proce
dure, was made on the basis, not
only of the student's record in
an advanced English section, but
on his whole academic record as
a student at the University. All
students who were promoted to
English 21 had an average of
approximately "B" for the first
quarter's work.
Advantage to Student
Placement in an advanced sec
tion of freshman English gives
the student a double advantage:
It gives him the opportunity of
doing work more in accordance
with his ability and training, and
it offers him the opportunity of
entering English 21 at the be
ginning of the spring quarter
of his freshman year, thus of
fering him the chance to earn
extra credits toward graduation
during his freshman year.
From the results set forth, it
is apparent to the English de
partment that the revival of the
advanced sections this year has
been successful. Although "Fly
ing Squadrons" were formed for
some years prior to 1931, in
that year the freshman division
of the department decided
against continuing the practice.
The wisdom of promoting the
best students in the sections
(with regard to other work as
well as English) will be checked
at the end of this quarter. The
results of this check will, in
part, determine the permanent
policy of the English department
toward this type of promotion.

STUDENTS AT STATE
BACK FOR NEW TERM
Students of North Carolina
State College returned Monday
for the spring term, and many
have registered. Due to many
requests for credit and time in
which to pay bills accumulated
during the fall and winter
terms, nowever, registration
will be continued through
Thursday.
According to W. L. Mayer,
registrar, the registration Mon
day was comparable to that of
the winter quarter and the total
registration should exceed that
of the winter term. Students
who registered before leaving
last Tuesday for the holidays re
turned yesterday.
Around The Field

games. Coach Twombley, assist
ant to Smith and a former St.
Louis Cardinal star hurler,
spoke very highly of Joe. Grif
fith's pitching and also compli
mented the brilliant play of
Johnny Phipps at short. Well,
what about the Dutchman?
JACK JARRETT, THE WASH-
ngton and Lee twirler, and
Johnny Peacock were having a
friendly battle throughout the
game. It seems that Johnny
and Jarrett played together up
in Covington, Virginia, a few
years back and they both went
courting the same girl. Jarrett
won the toss in the end. Per
haps that was why Peaky was
so polite to the General. Did
you hear him ask for a base-
runner for Griffith? "Jack, may
we please have a runner for the
pitcher?" Jarrett was also a
basketball star for the Generals.
It was he who had to be re
moved from the Washington
and Lee-N. C. State game in the
conference tourney at Raleigh.
His ankle was wrenched in the
first scrimmage of the fray.
WILLIE POWELL STARTED
the season right yesterday. Cap
tain Willie bagged two hits in
three tries and played a beau
tiful game at third. One little
bobble marred his day but how
bout those bullet-like throws to
Dixon at first? Wee-Willie is
a born ball player and should
easily be the, best third sacker
in the state this year. Jack
Cooke, General third baseman
took a beating, no less than four
hits bounding off him to count
as bingles. He was asleep in the
first inning but so was Goat
Weathers later in the game.
Virge slunk off to his position
like a whipped poodle after be
ing caught off first Yeah
poodle.

Colored Race, and C. O. Pearson
and C. H. McCoy, Durham
Negro lawyers, presented argu
ments for the plaintiff.
Entrants in Tennis Carnival
All tennis players desiring to
compete in the Carolina-Duke
tennis carnival starting Monday
should enter immediately, either
at the courts, or with Herman
Schnell at his Emerson field of
fice. As an incentive to in
crease entries intramural noints
will be awarded those entering
as wen as to those winning their
matches. In spite of this in
ducement, however, the entry
here is far behind Duke's in
number.
Eight in Infirmary
The infirmary list numbered
eight yesterday. They were: J.
N. Le Conte, H. S. Rubin, a! j!
Baracket, J. K. Woodard, J. m!

A smoker for Carr dormitory
will be given at 8:00 o'clock to
morrow night in 214 Graham

the series of dormitory smokers
for this quarter.
Graduate Tea Set for Today
The graduate tea will be giv

Beer Bill Favorable
The hearing on the Francis
beer bill to legalize beer aad
wine in the state of North Caro
lina was conducted yesterday
afternoon before senate judi
ciary committee No. 1, of which
Senator Hinsdale of Wake coua-
ty is chairman. It was being
freely predicted that despite
strenuous opposition from the
"dry" forces the bill would get
a favorable report from the com
mittee and that it would pass the
senate with votes to spare.
German Kaiser May Return
In the midst of scattered dis
orders attending the beginning
of a boycott against Jewish
shops, the town of Bad-Homburg
in Germany issued an invitation
to former Kaiser Wilhelm yes
terday to make his home there
if he should decide to return to
Germany. Representatives of the
Hohenzollerns at Berlin said
that although there was much
talk about the Kaiser returning,
he had expressed no intention of
coming back to Germany.
Beer Bootlegger Arrives
The Goldsboro News-Argus
said yesterday that the "beer
bootlegger" had arrived in Golds
boro. "Order book in hand, a
man from Maryland solicited
local business men," the paper
stated. He promised to deliver
kegs and cases two days after
the national law is effective."
