Rice of Black Moun tain college and Dean Scott Buchanan of St. J ohn's college will debate on their diverse beliefs the evening of April 6, as a part of the program of the Human Relations institute. This debate. will take place during the last evening session of the institute, which is scheduled for the week of March 30-April 7. Since "Education for Democratic Participation" is one of the institute's four main topics for con sideration, it was thought by. the pro moting committee which arranges for speakers that these two leaders of different educational ideas would be best suited to appear as part of the institute's program. NATURE OF THEORY The progressivist theory, represent ed by John Rice, emphasizes individual differences, education for change, ex perimental methods of instruction, and curricula varying in terms of individual interests and communities, resources, and problems. Rice, who has gained a wide reputation for his work at Black Mountain, appeared as an institute speaker at its last program in 1937, and will be remembered by those who heard him at that time as one of the most stimulating lecturers of that session. Dean Buchanan, who was until re cently a member of the philosophy de partment at the University of Virginia, holds the essentialist educational belief.

Speaking for the board, Jack Fairley said the board accidentally overlooked Roberson's vote total which was large enough to place him fourth, four votes ahead of the nearest competitor. The addition of Roberson to the dance leader list precludes the neces sity of a Junior Executive committee action on what was originally an nounced a sixth place tie between Ran kin and Turner. Rankin, whose candidacy for senior member of the Publications Union board was announced yesterday, and Turner, assistant manager of Steele dormitory, finished only two votes be hind the sixth man Walter Wall. The complete list of leaders for the Junior prom which takes place May 12 now reads: Fish Worley, Cy Jones, John Bonner, Roberson, Stancill "Red" Strowd, and Wall. Class officers and the chairmen of the class dance and executive commit tees are ex-officio class dance leaders. Worley, Jones and Bonner were also chosen commencement marshals, as were the officers of . this year's class, Charlie Wood, president; Jimmy Davis, vice-president; Mac Nesbit, secretary; Benny Hunter, treasurer; and Jack Fairley, Junior Student council repre Senior Girl Weds Junior Boy In NY Miss Jerolyn Meek of Camden, Ark., a senior, and Richard J.
