S. Kutz of Of Tar To A e h rnve e Fans NY Sfay-At-Home Tar Heels Can Sign Telegram Sent To Team Dr. Knight Declares Education Imperiled CHARLESTON, S.C., Nov. 10 Dr Edgar W. Knight, Kenan professor of education in the University of North Carolina, said here today that the recent "rapid tendency toward highly centralized and bureaucratic control of educa tion in this country may turn out to be a serious threat." He said it will endanger the' integrity "of our most extensive! i . . a 4 i t : ana most imporxani social unaer taking because it is so easy to make such control promote par tisan political purposes and so difficult to make it serve legi timate educational purposes." Centralized officialism in ed ucational administration "is not hospitable to the long established tradition and principles of public education in the United States . hiiUiaJiostile to its best interests and those of American democ racy," .he said. Speaknig to the Charleston Ki wanis Club, Dr. Knight said that the American public school rep resents a remarkable achievement of local interest, local initiative and local effort. "It ha3 developed out of the American soil and reflects one of he most deep-seated human in "crests and activities of the Ameri can people. But in its upward struggle the public school has had to face and overcome many ob stacles. It was born in poverty and obscurity. For a time it was fed bv cru'mbi of charity and philanthropy. "Often it has been exploited and put upon by crafty and deceitful politicians and narrow ecclesiastics. Over these and other discouraging difficulties the pub lic school has won its way through an unfaltering idealism ana vigorous determination which have always and everywhere warned aainit autocratic and bureaucratic and highly centra lized control in its administra tion." Dr. Knight also said that the gradual tendency in recent years to remove the schools away from the people and to encourage or roercc them to look to their state capitals or to Washington for thrir education Santa Claus can easily result in stifling local in terest and local initiative and.ef fort and in discouraging or des 4 ..; w.r.1 prhirational re EDnnsibility among the people Hirhlv centralized and bureau cratic administration, he said "nives no assurance of the wise use of public funds or protection frnm their waste or security against mediocrity in educational management.

Any man who doesn't like fried eggs may be either (A) neurotic or (B) illiterate. Maybe you never thought that your tastes in food could be a happy hunting ground for a psy chiatrist Yet if you're unusually finicky, it may be a clue. For example, tests have shown that while practically every normal man likes fried eggs, one out of five neurotic men don't like their eggs fried. And among illit erates, one out of 10 say no to fried eggs. And take the humble cabbage. Only three percent of all norm al males checked said they didn't like cabbage. But almost a third tested hated the stuff, Prof. Richard Wallen of Western Reserve University ran the food tests on neurotics. Using 20 foods, he found that 62 per cent of the neurotics said they disliked three or more of the items. Among the normal, only 11 percent were so particular. Wallen decided that the dis likes begin in early life, as the result of "emotional experiences at meals, faulty and capricious training methods and fear of the new and strange." With Wallen's charts for a starting base, William D.

The new law extends these allowances to veterans with service-connected disabilities as low as 50 per cent. NC College Will Probably Get Approval RALEIGH, Nov. 10 (At torney General Harry McMullan said z todays he expectsi the law school of the North Carolina Col lege at Durham will be recogniz ed by the American Bar Associa tion. The law school of the Negro institution was inspected today by John G. Hervy, advisor to the American Bar Association's sec tion on legal education and ad missions to the bar. He was accompanied in the inspection by McMullan and Willis Smith of Raleigh, Hervey did not say what his report would be, McMullan said, "But we have every reason to expect his report will be favor able and that he will recommend approval of the school." McMullan said that the col lege's law school was approved by the N.C. State Board of Law Examiners several years ago, and that its graduates have been permitted to take state bar exam inations. "It has had a higher percent age of successful candidates than any other law school in the state, McMullan added. If the school is approved by the American Bar Association it wil mean that its graduates will be permitted to take bar examina tions in other- states. Meanwhile, two students of the school have filed a suit in federal court seeking admission to the law school of the University of North Carolina. W. S. Kutz, chairman of the Merchants Association, said late last night thai signatures were rolling in like 60 for the good wishes telegram to the team in New York. Kutz said 680 signatures had been added to the wire by 11 o'clock last night, and hundreds more are expected before the 5 o'clock deadline today. today, Nor can th2 thousands and thousands u- oter Tar Heel fans, but that do.jn't mean we aren't there in spirit.

Any football team can be beaten, and that goes for the celebrated Irish, too. Just remem ber how the Tar Heels dumped mighty Texas back here in Chapel Hill last year and you'll know just what has to be done. "When you hear those Carolina yells going up from the fans there this afternoon just remember there are thousands more of us beside our radios who are yel ling just as loudly. Let's get out there and cut that Notre Dame winning streak to ribbons. NY To See UNC Band In a presentation of a circus day program, the University's 125 -piece band promises a half-time of entertainment at the game to morrow in Yankee Stadium. Star ring on the program will be five members of the group from the University , tumbling team who will perform stunts. Word was received yesterday from Professor Earl Slocum, Di rector of the band, that band members will be assembled at 6:30 this evening at Hill Hall. Members will leave Hill Hall by bus for Durham where they will embark for the journey to New York by train. n Few Officials Setting Stage At HQ Hotel Some Others Are Already In City; Town Still Calm ' By Roy Parker NEW YORK, ;Nov. 10 A few straggling Tar Heels, points of an army tat will peur into this metropolis to morrow morning, were be ginning to arrive here late tonight. Most of the early-comers had quickly been swallowed in the vastness and variety of the city. Only in the Statler Hotel, head quarters of the army, was there concrete evidence of the invasion-to-come. In the Hotel, Tar Heel Sports Publist Jake Wade, assistant Ath letic Director Chuck Ericson and coach Pete Mullis are already hard at work laying groundwork for tomorrow's flood of North Carolinians. The city itself had none of the marks of a town facing invasion. Times Square, where howling Tar Heel fans will rally pep to morrow night, was its usual self, Planter's -Peanut neons and all. Grant's Tomb, definitely in dang er of Tar Heel attack, was serene and white in the moonlight re flected off the Hudson. Uptown, Yankee Stadium, where Tar Heel and Notre Dame footballers will clash, was dark and the only noise resembling the frenzy of Saturday afternoon sport was the fuss raised at a sidewalk carnival across the street. In several of the hotels where Carolina students and fans will be quartered, there v&s a sm?? tering of Tar Heel names on the registers. Most of the vanguards were not at home, however. At Pennsylvania Station, where two special trains will disgorge troops tomorrow morning, there was the usual bustle. On the giant schedule board in the lobby was listed the time of arrival of two "Specials," but no other iden tification. Undoubtedly it was the TOA of the trains even now headed north with UNC rooters. P. S. Randolph, Jr. Gets Commission Polgar's Last Stand were made - public today in an article written for the December issue of the Journal of Consult ing Psychology. Altus said he had to discard 12 of the 2 foods Wallen used in his tests. For. instance, he figured that anyone who couldn't read wouldn't be likely to' know much about mushrooms or swiss cheese. "Too precious," said Altus. But even when he substituted better known foods, he found the illiterates pretty choosey, too. Al though anyone who has watched soldiers on Saturday night would never guess it. Seventeen perecnt of Army illiterates didn't like beer. Also, 23 percent didn't like buttermilk and 20 percent didn't That Man's Here Again, And Dodo Is With Him! literates. Results of these tests like mush. North' State Denies Race Discrimination RALEIGH, Nov. 10 () The state denied today that it dis criminates against Negroes in operating the public schools. This denial was contained in an answer filed in behalf of the State Board of Education by At torney General McMullan in a suit in which a group of Durham Negroes allege discrimination in school facilities at Durham. By Chuck Hauser Dodo's back and Polgar's got him! Dodo is Dover Moore, student from Greenville, S. C, one of Dr. Franz J. Polgar's favorite subjects, who got taken for a ride last night in the nationally-known hypnotist's last show of a two night stand on campus. Memorial Hall was jam-packed to capacity again, with well over 1,800 persons filling every seat and standing room to boot. Dodo first fell under the fasci nating doctor's fascinating spell last spring when the SEC spon sored another Polgar show on campus. He refused to come to and attended last night with the wholehearted intention of stay ing in the audience and watching the show. But if you've ever been hypno tized once by Polgar you're a sitting duck from there on out. Dover fell asleep in the auditori um and was waltzed up to the stage to perform like a trained sesL Polgar's favorite trick, the "x ray glasses" which see through clothing, was brought out again, and red-headed Charlie Cooper of Greensboro created the high light of the evening when he dashed into the audiene to get a close-up view of some good-look- Philip S.
