THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1953 FOUR PAGES TODAY - i i i t y r it it ti if ii mm .tmm v y i i j t i t i Semstir Transition Explained Students learned about the se mester system in capsule form yes terday by meeting with their deans throughout the campus. A guaranteed Spring vacation (next year's will be five days), greater flexibility in afternoon classes and an effort to make a "literal translation" of the present system in regard to hours and courses," were mentioned as some of the major points of the semes ter system, by Dean Clifford P. Lyons of the Arts and Sciences College. Though not speaking for all schools and divisions in the Uni versity, Lyons gave a view of what will be going on come September. "We will attempt to make at lit eral translation of what you have now," he told over 800 students in Memorial Hall yesterday. In! converting irom tne quarter to tne semester system, adjustments as "to hours and courses will be made -to conform as nearly as possible to the present setup. Lyons expects that a schedule for both semesters will be avail able by April 15. Preregistration should begin later in that month, or in the early part of May. Afternoon classes will be much more flexible than before in the sense that they meet only three days a week, he commented. He illustrated this point by noting'that students who missed an important course because of drill or labora tory would be able to take the course under the semester system. Those who expect to graduate in March, 1954 should be able to finish in January of that year by means of the semester system. "We will make a strong effort to graduate everyone according to their present plans. We will try to avoid making , students study here three months longer than they planned to," he said. Students who plan to graauate in December can either double up in Summer School (which Is not affected by the Trustee order) this academic year or can go the extra month through January. If they continue through January, they can take extra courses, Lyons noted. Under the new system, classes are held three times a week on a Monday-Wednesday-Friday, Tuesday-Thursday-Saturday basis, with five courses allowed each semes ter. For the first year in operation, the plan will provide students with more electives than now possible. Lyons said that efforts will be made to give a "balanced distri bution" of classes both as to total courses and as to major courses. He indicated that the Arts and Sciences College is spending time on how to improve the advisory system. "A great deal of thought and study will be given to the overall advisory system," he point ed out. The Daily Tar Heel and student government have long crit icized the advisory setup, particu larly in the General College. YMCA Holding Lost Articles The YMCA yesterday released a list of lost and found articles being held in the Y for owners to claim. Included in the list: one blue cardigan, a red velvet hat, brown shoulder bag, silver evening bag, black velvet evening bag, white linen bag, small brown bag.

Draft Test Applications for the SS Qual ification Test must be in the mail by midnight, March 9. Applica tion forms must be secured from a local board. The nearest boards are in Hillsboro and Durham. The test will be administered in Chapel Hill on April 25 for those whose applications have been submitted in time. $330,000 From 600 Jobs f Help 3Z jf f ers Vital By Hubert Breeze Helping approximately 600 students find self-help jobs that pay a total of $330,000 is just part of a year's work for the Student Aid Office. This office, directed by Ed win S. Lanier since 1930, also handles scholarships and student loans amounting to big sums. In explaining how the Stu dent Aid Office functions, La nier said there is a Student Aid Committee appointed by the Chancellor which has the power to grant undergraduate scholar ships, approve loans and decide -who is to get the part-time jobs. Students who want help make a formal application to the com mittee and are judged compara tively on the basis' of scholastic records, financial situations, and the general promise and reputation of the applicant, La nier said. When the committee is not in session Lanier has the pow er to act, within the set policy, on applications that need im- cmpus SEEN - i -t . 7- t- l. r : 7 i of operations as street lamps are installed in Morehead parking lot.

Dr. KhiaHt lists ilestones For U. S. Education "Milestones in American Educa tional History" is the title of a study prepared by Dr. Edgar W. Knight, Kenan professor of edu cational history here, and publish ed in the February issue of the "Journal of the National Education Association." The highlights reported by Dr. Knight in the development of edu cation in this country extend from Henrico College and East India School in Virginia in 1617-1622, the first educational efforts in Eng lish North America, to recent de cisions of the Supreme Court of the United States on racial and religious issues in education. Included in Dr. Knight's list of significant educational events and dates are the founding of Harvard College in 1636; the dismissal of President Henry Dunster of Harvard in 1643 because of his beliefs on infant baptism, believed to be the first case involving "aca demic freedom" in this country; the trial of John Peter Zenger in New York in 1735, which helped to establish the principle of the press; Thomas Jefferson's famous plan for a state-wide public school system in Virginia in 1779. The opening of the first Ameri can state university in Chapel Hill in 1795; the significant Dartmouth College Decision in 1819; the award by Bowdoin College in 1826 of the first collegiate degree con ferred upon a Negro; the begin nings of higher education for wo men in the 1830's; the passage of the Morrill (Land-grant) Col lege Act in 1862. The Kalamazoo Decision in Mich igan in 1874, which established the right of the state to provide high schools through taxation; the founding in 1876 of the Johns "Hop kins University, the first strictly graduate school in the United States. The Oregon Decision in 1925 in which it was held that children could not be compelled to attend public schools, and many other in teresting educational highlights. The "NEA Journal," which has a monthly circulation of about a half million copies, has made sev eral thousand reprints of Dr. Knight's "study for use by high school and college students.

Discussing the suspension of the Williams chapter from Phi Delta Theta, Hinsey declared that the suspension would be reviewed at ihe national convention this year, rle emphasized the fact that a three-fourths vote of all the chap ters is needed to permanently sus pend a fraternity and he doubted hat such a majority would be lained. In an article in the Cornell Daily Sun, Hinsey said he was opposed : to suspending from the campus ill fraternities having discrimina- .ory Clauses. "I think it wrong for the Uni- versity to come out with an order, ' either do this or else," he declared, Backing the Interfraternity Coun- cil's approach to the problem of discrimination by eliminating from , within, he called it "methodical1 and objective rather than emo- tional."
