Ashmore appeared at a press conference at Gerrard Hall along with Benjamin Fine, Weil Lecturer yesterday afternoon. Commenting on the coverage given to the Little Rock situation by both Time and Life Magazines, Ashmore said, "They didn't really pre sent an accurate picture of the events taking place. Time tends to crowd so much into so little space that their articles tend to become editorials instead of news stories. . "They missed the boat in Little Rock. Time did a real hatchet job or.

He cited the University's need for a new student union, gymnasium and class rooms as examples of more forceful action on the presi dent's part.

In answer to a question from the floor, Fine stated that he felt that "integration is a Northern as wel as a Southern problem." Ashmore concluded his remarks ; on Little Rock by saying "before last 1 fall, the situation racially speaking was the best that I had seen in the South.

Gardner Presentation Set Tonight SYMPOSIUM Fine Urges Raises For Educators The nation needs "educational statesmanship" which can be ob tained by cooperation of the press, educators and the public, it was declared last ight by Dr. Benjamin Fine, dean of the grad uate school of education at Yeshiva University. Dr. Fine de livered the second of the 1953 Weil Lectures here. , "Educational statesmanship calls for a three-way partnership be tween a responsible press, an alert educational profession and an in formed public," Dean Fine assert ed. Salaries of school teachers ought to be tripled, with a range of $10,000 to $20,000 annually per teacher, if the "dangerous teach er bottleneck" is not solved in America, Fine stated. To get the best brains in teaching and put 500,000 additionally needed teach ers and professors in the class rooms, salaries of educators will have to be equal to salaries of engineers, doctors, scientists and businessmen, he said. Fine said the present teacher training institutions in the nation, many of them at odds with liberal revamp- The Oliver Max Gardner Award will be presented to a member of the Consolidated University faculty tonight in Raleigh.

Glooer III A Carolina physicist, Dr. Rolfe E. Glover III, has been named as an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fel low by the. Slian Foundation of New York City in connection with his studies in low temperature physics. Dr. Glover will receive an "un restricted" grant of $21,000 to sup port basic research which will be performed here. Dr. E. D. Pal matier, chairman of the Physics Department, anounced the selec tion of Dr. Glover, The grant will permit Dr. Glover to expand and enlarge his efforts in basic research, and he will in the next two years use the funds to advance his studies, with the aid of graduate assistants that the funds will enable him to hire. He will also be able to acquire addi tional supplies and materials for his research projects. The Alfred P. Sloan grant is "unrestricted" and given with the general objective to encourage re search by outstanding young fa culty members at recognized col leges and universities who wish to carry on fundamental researches in mathematics, chemistry and physics, but are hampered by lack of funds. Award winners are known as Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellows. In making the award to Dr. Glover and to others in 44 colleges and universities of the nation, Sloan said, "In this program the Foun dation is trying to make a signi ficant contrbution to the support of basic scientific research in America."

' First, a critical examination of the world through painting was made. A reading of Koestler's "Darkness at Noon" inspired a more realistic view of the beliefs which today's college student holds. The belief that out of chaos comes faith and unity was expressed by a dramatic presentation of Paton's "Cry, The Beloved Country."
