By Faith Brewer m
University of S. C. students are not b<
prejudiced against the ncRroes, on the
average, according to a test recently sub- ,)(
jeeted by Professor R. C. McCall of the
Education department. _
In two of the classes tested, composed ^
of sophomores, juniors, and seniors, the
median score of 5.7 was made, rcpre- st
senting a neutral position on the part
of most of the students.
The statement which received the ai
highest score (10.8) was; "Inherently a
the white man and the negro are equal."
Valued at zero was the extreme atli- (]
tudc; "I place the negro on the same js
social basis that I would a mule." A jj|
second extreme was voiced in; "No ft
negro has the right to question the illegal
killing of one of his own race." s<
Next to the top in liberality was the w
sentiment; "The negro should be given is
the same educational advantages as the d<
white." tc

it Negro Race
A median score was given to the stateicnt;
"I am not at all interested in
:>w the negro rates socially."
In the second test a median statement
as; "In our efforts to help the negro,
e must not blind ourselves to the
larked differences which actually exist
Jtween the two races."
That "The majority of negroes should
: treated as well-trained apes" was the
ttremely prejudiced view, while the exeme
liheralist believed that "the negro
entitled to the same social privileges
i the white man."
Arousing debatable questions, one
atcmcnt said; "It is possible for the
;gro and white races to be Brothers in
hrist without being brothers-in-law;"
id another that "I would not patronize
hotel that accommodates negroes."
The practicalist found expression in
le declaration; " 1 lie educated negro
less a burden 011 the courts and is less
kely to become a dependent or a de:ctive
than the educated white man."
"The purpose of the scale is to de:ribe
the attitude toward the negro
ithout an implication than one attitude
more correct or right than another,"
eclares L. L,. Thurston, editor of the
:st scale used.

Crime Penalty Heavier
In Colonial Period
The law, in the colonial and antebellum
period, levied a much heavier
penalty for crime than in recent times
according to an M. A. thesis in the
University of South Carolina library
entitled "Crime and its Punishment in
South Carolina before the Civil War,"
by T. W. Bowen. The law then could
hang a man on suspiciati alone.
For minor offenses, there was the
whipping post; and for crimes of a
more serious nature, maiming, branding.
and the gallows. Kvery pirate
captured was sent to the gallows.
I here being only a few jails and no
penitentiaries or prison farms, capital
punishment was the only sort inflicted.
Once for horse-stealing, a man was
branded with a hot iron 011 both cheeks
and his forehead and then his ears cut
with a dull knife," said Mr. Bowen
in an illustration quoted from the writings
of an eye-witness.

The University possesses several
