VOLUME XLI NUMB EH 24 CHAPEL HILL. N. C TUESDAY. OCTOBER 2L 1SS2 FOUR PAGES TODAY Knight Praises Lofty Progress In Education Cites Neglect As Cause For Modern 'Lost Generation' Special to Ths D itt.y Tar Kebx. RALEIGH, Oct. 20 Education in the United States during the last half century "has reached its most lofty quantitative tri umphs and its' expansion into the largest cooperative social effort in all human history has been al most bewildering." This opinion was advanced by Dr. Edgar W. Knight, Kenan pro fessor of education in the Uni versity of North Carolina at the annual meeting of the Wake County Phi Beta Kappa Associa tion here tonight. "But the swift quantitative growth of education in this coun try has been accompanied in creasingly by some strange edu cational paradoxes or contradic tions," he declared. One of these contradictions, he said, is the "lack of proper edu cation of teachers and another is the lack of proper attention by schools and colleges to gifted and talented students. "How best to prepare teachers and managers of the schools has become a very acute issue on which there seems to be no com mon agreement among the profes sional educationalists," Dr. Knight said. "Competent studies have re vealed and continue to show that those who enter in preparation for teaching and managing schools are not the ablest and most prom- ismg young people So long is inferior stutents are taught by inferior teachers the promise of improving public education can net be very bright." Dr. Knight said the "neglect of the able and talented pupils and students is making them the lost and forgotten educational generation. The obvious need for improving the educational oppor tunity of gifted young people is thporeticallv recognized but the extent to which the need is be-j ing met is not very encouraging. Courses in so-called special edu cation in teacher-education insti tutions are generally intended to prepare teachers of the physically and mentally deficient.

Three freshmen in Room 333 boast the only private student radio station on this and pos sibly any other college campus. They are Allen Sovitz, Ronnie Sommers and Gene McBrayer. Allen, angel and technician of the whole business, says that the commotion first began when he and his roommates unwit tingly began playing some re cords into their radio loud speaker. They were soon in formed that neighbors also were tuning in records and several boys came by with requests. To their surprise, the boys found that they had been block out five stations.

DURHAM, Oct. 20 Students in investment courses at the Univer sity of North Carolina and Duke University have just been given $20,000 for investment trusts. The unique gifts, $10,000. to each university, will afford students first-hand investment experience, launching a teaching technique of ' great practical value. Duke University President Hol- lis Edens and .UNC , Chancellor Robert B. House made the joint anouncement here yesterday that Charles H. Babcock of Reynolds and Company, Winston-Salem, has established two "student in vestment trusts" at the universi ties. Under the terms of the grants, Duke and Carolina students in in vestments and finance courses will have sole control of invest ing the money. They will analyze securities and plan the invest ment program in common with millions of other Americans. Through first-hand experience, they will seek to build a group of investments bringing the highest yields with the maximum possi ble safety. In addition, the pro gram will be expanded to give students practical experience in corporate management and pro cedure, in accounting and in in vestigating the financial struc ture, earning record, dividend record, management and other facts about American corpora tions. Plans also call for coonerative and competitive relations between ths two student groups.

Half will go to the Com munity Chest Funds in Durham and Chapel Hill, the other half will be added to the original $10, 000 funds.

Then, in Allen's own words, "We brought a tape recorder into the room and several of us did a fake news cast similar to that of Orson Wells mars invasion of several years past. "We predicted the closing of the University for the rest of the quarter due to the recent polio epidemic. A sociology professor was in the room at the time. Thinking it was a real broadcast he spread it through the dormitory and before long a real panic had spread. - Then we got the idea that if we were so good (pardon our modesty) we would like to broadcast to the residents in the dormitory. After that we got a phono-oscillator and 'souped it up' so that it would cover the dormitory. Our favorite pro grams are music and calling people to the telephone." Sv & DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL.

Local service stations were flooded late yesterday by stu dents and townspeople filling their auto radiators with anti freeze in anticipation of the sub freezing weather. A little later the boys hit on the idea of tape-recording 'Our Best to You' an re-playing the requests of .other Cobb resi dents. One day five janitors who had been dropping by to hear the broadcasts, were invited to put oh a skit. They responded with a program of jazz and spirituals which was an im mediate hit. At present, no broadcasts are originating from 333 due to technical problems. To quote Allen again "We are tempora rily off the air due to a burned out 25 cent resistor. As soon as we can get up a collection to replace needed equipment ($2 worth) we will resume broad casting transmission.' Allen says that no FCC re gulations are being broken be cause the range of their station is localized to the Cobb area only. Party Tonight Town Women's Districts.
