The February issue of the Carolina Magazine will be minus an article which was written by Mrs. Janet Bragdon at. the request of Editor Creedy. This article was based on an analysis of 581 freshmen themes on the subject, "Would You Favor A Negro's Entering the University." The article was withheld from the press at the behest of Dr. G. R. Coffman, Head of the Department of English, who considered that its publication would have been a violation of departmental policy. Anxious to include an article in the Magazine on the prob lem of Negro entrance into the University, a problem of such current interest and significance, Editor Creedy sought the data provided in the freshmen themes. If time had permitted, a more extensive survey or poll of student opinion would have been made by the Magazine staff. But, time was short, and Mrs. Janet Bragdon had the freshmen theme-data in hand which she was using to prepare part of her Master's thesis for sociology. She agreed to write the article based on this in formation. ' Dr. Coffman acted according to a policy which as head of his department he believed it was his duty to maintain. The department had submitted the freshmen themes to her, spe cifically, for her thesfe. It had the right to limit their use to that purpose. The student themes were in the hands of the ; department as confidential material. The department had the right to limit their use. The English department may for many reasons feel that freshmen class themes should be functional to the extent of improving the techniques of the individual writer rather than not that of furnishing statistics and opinions for pub lic perusal. That may be more strictly academic. But it is regrettable indeed, when departmental policy be comes too strictly "academic" or inflexible. Material for a thesis has been published, in part, before the actual appearance of the entire thesis itself. Stuart Chase's "Tyranny of Words" had excerpts printed in Harper's Maga zine before its publication. So, althought the departmental re quest that Mr. Bragdon not use her thesis material before it had been published was valid but might have been abbreviat ed. Editor Creedy asked permission to get the permission of the freshmen writers of "Would You Favor a Negro's Enter ing the University," during class-meeting. It may not be strictly academic to allolw such interruptions in regular class meetings, but in view of the fact that Editor Creedy was try ing to get student opinion, "as far as possible, scientific and objective," for. the purpose of analyzing a problem of much student concern, perhaps "strict academics" might very Well be waived. Such an article of analysis, Creedy believed, would have been especially timely in the February issue of ' the Magazine. He wanted, to use the 581 freshmen themes as data, simply because he lacked time to secure data by other means. .

BRANTLEY AND WINTERS Misses Bernice Brantley and Elsa Winters are ranked as the likely start ers along with Miss Austin. Both have been close on Austin's heels, although all three fencers have been pushed the limit by Misses Mary Lewis, who. may yet start in the number three berth, Margaret Knight, Ruth Parsons and Jean Breckenridge, the remaining regu lars on the squad.
