' In preliminary paragraphs of its statement the board reviewed why it gave the tests ("in keeping with sound educational methods") and noted that the results were placed in the permanent record of each oupil, to be available to principals and teachers of the pupil. The purpose of the tests, ac cording to the board statement. 'is primarily for individual pupil f diagnosis by the teachers," and the standing policy has been that the results of special tests were not to be given in terms of scores. "The scores must be carefully 3valuated and understood. They cannot be assumed to be exact measures secured under carefully controlled conditions. Misunder standing and misuse of scores, even by well-meaning parents, could be harmful to the education al and emotional development of the children." UNIVERSITY COOPERATES The tests have generally - been given in cooperation with the Un iversity faculty, the board stated, but aren't given by trained psy chologists under carefully con trolled conditions. Thus the re sults obtained "may not be relia ble for use in comparing groups of pupils in different classes and different schools." The particular tests in question, the board statement declared, was given in the spring of 1954 be fore the May 17 integration de cision by the Supreme Court, "and with absolutely no relation to the question of school integration." - - ....

Wellman Speaks On Murders The stories of 10 famous and in famous murders which cover an eventful period in North Carolina history were related by Manly Wade Wellman, Chapel Hill au thor, speaking at a Bull's Head Bookshop tea held Wednesday aft ernoon in the Library. Wellman has incorporated these cases in his latest book, Dead and Gone, recently published by the UNC Press. "There's more to a murder and the trial of a murderer than sim ple sensation," Wellman said, "I often wonder if they don't cast a very clear light on the time and place and people help us know how much folks lived and died and why:" Wellman described such cases, covering the era 1808-1914, as those of Ida Ball Warren, "the veritable Lady Macbeth of Forsyth County;" Kenneth Beasley, kid napped near the Lost Colony site; the arsenic poisoner of old Fay- etteville, and the first woman hanged in the state. i ' 1 'i ' if 3f r? n n ft"r n n rR n n 4 , (fa ibiss . . .... : i.

Memorial Vote Dorms By NEIL The student Legislature in ( debate last night passed a resolution favoring the cstablish , ments of two class free Saturdays per semester. The measure jivas sponsored by the Student Party and was passed without an opposing vote. I In other action of the meeting, the group also passed una tnimously a resolution "urging the return of 50 of the profits made j by vending machines in the dormi tories to the dorm's social fund. At the present, the dormitories receive none of these profits. This measure was also SP introduced. Byfar the most debated issue of the evening, however, was a Uni versity Party introduced bill which "called for the establishment of a bi-partisan board for the selec tion of candidates for the editor ships of The Daily Tar Heel ahti The Yackety Yack." Jack Stevens UP) who brought the measure before the solons to '.begin with started the debate by saying that "because of the im portance of The Daily Tar Heel ir influencing student opinion, it should be removed from all poli tical affiliation, and not be com mitted to any particular segment." This led into a discussion of "jus; what is the place of politics on the college and university campus any way?" David Held (SP) attempted tJ answer this question by saying that "student " government needs 1 more politicians to advise them because the parties represent tne larger segment of the student body and thus prevent the concentration i of the rule in the hands of a few. uuiix j v-av. privilege of nominating candidates j for a position of importance like the editorships." After a lengthy, analysis, thenars, Dr. Graham said that "thcr bedy thumbed down the creation monuclear power in the hands of of a bi-partisan 'oeard by a vote of man in the absolute national state 113 is the greatest threat which has j come to the existence of man since Other legislation of the evening, the giacievs' extinguished much of which was passed or turned down the life o the pianet. with little or no debate, involved j 'IMPERATIVE NEED' the passage of an SP proposed j xhc imperative need is to help resolution which "asked for the muup m,,r iji,Piv th.-.t the human establishment of a centrally lo cated infirmary on campus with the authority (to issue class cut excuses." The Legislature, operating "in a low financial status," shunned the passage of any measures which involved the appropriation of mo ney. In turn, they voted down a SP sponsored bill '"to give money so that The Daily Tar Heel migV - resume operation on a six day week," and a UP bill to "give $J5C to the Faculty Evaluation Committee."
