FLYING SQUADRON CLASSES LIST 110 Four English 1 Sections Com posed of Those Who Did Ex ceptional Work on Test. About 110 freshmen whose English placement tests showed that they might be able to do superior work were, tentatively placed in "flying squadrons," ad vanced English 1 sections, it was announced yesterday by Dr. A. P. Hudson, chairman of the first-year English department. Of the 703 students enrolled in freshman English up to 1 :00 o'clock yesterday, 87 were put in English "A", 558 in English 1, and 58 in English 3. These figures include all divisions ex cept the engineering school. 26 Sections English 1, the normal course for entering freshmen, is com posed of four "flying squadron" sections enrolling 110 first-year men, and 22 sections of 448 stu dents whose tests indicated aver age preparation and ability. English "A," composed of three sections, is made up of freshmen whose tests showed unpreparedness to do work of a college level. "These students, unless they show by their work that they did not do themselves justice on their placement tests, will be kept for one quarter's work designed to help- them re move their disability," stated Dr. Hudson. "For them some of the ablest and most ex perienced instructors have been chosen." "English 'A' men have every thing to gain by making better showings on class ; work that they did on their first tests. Mid dling men in English 1 have a chance for promotion to flying squadrons. Conversely, all Eng lish 1 students run the risk of demotion. Classification is not final until after the. first ten days or two weeks of the quar ter," Dr. Hudson continued. English 3 Crowded English 3 sections are made up of upperclassmen who got behind one quarter on their freshman English and of trans fer students who have had the equivalent of English 1 and 2. Accepted registrants in this group will have to make good at the outset and maintain them selves or be dropped from the course, for the two sections are badly crowded. ; Fourteen men, the most ex- (Continued on page two) SERVED BY THE Unionists Threaten Courthouse If Jobs Are Not Given Back GORMAN URGES PATIENCE Washington, Se$t. 24 (UP) Union leaders moved swiftly tonight to silence the angry mutterings in textile areas where thousands of employees rose in vigorous protest because mill owners refused to re-employ them because of their par ticipation in the nation-wide strike. Francis J. Gorman, chairman of the textile strike committee, urged the protesting workers, who were scheduled to go to work this morning, to be patient. Gorman also stated emphatical ly that the union would not tol erate discrimination against strikers. As a clinching argument, he pointed out that President Roosevelt himself had urged in dustrialists to re-employ strik ers without discrimination. Concord, N. C, Sept. 24. (UP) North Carolina union ists marched on the courthouse here today claiming that their jobs had been filled unfairly and threatened to occupy the building until they were re-employed. R. R. Lawrence, president of the North Carolina Federation of Labor, charged that 10,000 workers had been discharged on the grounds of their union mem bership and participation in the textile walkout.
