Meeting Convenes
- - At Inn :
; "One of the most, disturbing
characteristics of American edu
cation, today is, the confusion, of
its aims, reflected in the fever
ish effort of the past 20 years
in curricula construction," Dr,
Edgar W. Knight, University
professor of education, asserted
in an address at the' Carolina
Inn yesterday at sessions of the
Southeastern Regional Confer
ence on Adult Education.
-: A recent survey made by one
of the nation's leading educa
tional institutions showed 80,000
different curricula aims in the
country's educational institu
tions, Dr. Knight said. :
"While it may be cleared up
tp a certain extent, this confu
sion of aims is one of the nat
ural by-products of democracy
and we certainly don't want to
give up our democracy," Dr.
Knight continued.

ing statement:
"The student council has
shown by its action in setting
the freshman elections date this
Thursday thatVit wants the

outsiders, even though the oiii
side interference be only father
ly advice given by the Student
party. i -" -"Pieasing"
"The action of the. Student

have no intention of participat
ing in, this election and would
suggest to all freshmen that
they carry on their election
without any outside interfer
ence. -
"In reply to Bill Cole's insin
uation that the University party
has taken part in other elections
as a 'John Doe' party, I can only
say that the University party
has always taken part in cam
pus politics under its own name
