Religious 1A Program A preliminary announcement concerning t,his year's Religious Emphasis Weel promises the best program that has beer organized during the past four years. According to the list of speakers sched uled, this will not be a meeting of minister. to espouse their brand of religion to th( student body. These men are in many case. laymen. They will be able to give theii religious beliefs from the views of the mai in the street. Most interesting addition to the schedule however, is the increased number of semi nars planned for the program. Before thi. year there has been only one seminar, o Bloodmobile The Red Cross Bloodmobile, a persisteni visitor to the campus during the past few years, will return here next Thursday in a one-day drive to obtain blood. During that one day the quota for the campus will be 250 piints. Student Body President Isadore LouriE has challenged the University of North Carolina to a one-day battle to see which school can raise the most blood in proportior to its enrollment.

( hul mae itote bie sT he >e nd to re 'u re er, Professoi ,r Under Hor IG (Ed. Note: The following was written by an Honor Board mem ber to outline clearly the profes sor's role in supporting the Honor Principle.) The professor's responsibilities as classroom manager, in relation to the Honor Principle, and espe ed cially during quizzes and examina re tions, are not in conflict with the spirit of the Honor Principle. of Wise planning of out-of-class )le exercises and clear explanations to the students in regard to the ex tent of collaborative effort, if any, ar that he expects, reinforce the re Honor Principle. In connection with assignment of exercises of any kind, some of which may re er quire library work in the prepara tion of essays, it is important that the professor be specific and real istic in making clear exactly how much collaboration is allowable in the s4uation. It is human and natural for students to discuss quiz and examination questions with other students following the quiz or ne examination session. Therefore, any attempt on the part of a Ut professor to prevail on students to Lir treat such information as confi dential and to refrain from con versation about it, is often un Lf- workable. Such a demand would be certain to result in feelingi of guilt that are harmful to personal of integrity and to the welfare of ie. the Honor Principle. The modern multiple-choice examination or quiz is especially difficult to construct. It is hatural that professors frequently use the same multiple-choice examinations or quizzes for more than one class. Because of the very large amount of test items contained in such examinations, the information ye transferred through student con iat versation out of the classroom is ng negligible in effect on the scores ro- of those who take the test at a ief later time. Students should under 're stand that conversation outside sit the classroom, about the few s? questions that they may be able ed to recall, is expectedl. Such con versations arc not infringements 'm of the - Honor Principle. it In the classroom, during quizzes ey and examinations, a professor can of give much aid to the Honor Prin nd ciple. Before the test, it is best ye that professors be completely he frank about their plans and inten as tions in response to legitimate of questions concerning quizzes and slgRay A heRay Anthony, whose record of "Dragnet" is the biggest orchestral its sligrecord of recent months, is ke one former Glenn Miller sideman is who will not be seen in the up we coming film version of the late maestro's life.

Galesburg, Ill.-(I.P.)-The St dent Honor Board at Knox Colle has released the following stat ment regarding uniform polic after four years of operation a experience: "The Honor Boa feels that there are no degrees cheating. You either cheat or y don't. There is no twilight zone cheating, no 'white lie.' The Hon Board also so holds that absolu honor is implicit in the honor sy tem.

The Negro, in the course of eight years, has achieved political equal ity and is in the process of secur ing educational equality, even in the deep South. In the border South, the District of Columbia, Maryland, and Missouri, segrega tion has all but disappeared in public places. On all military and Federal establishments, segrega tion is forbidden. This change has taken place in - eight short years, without causing any social revolution, or too much discomfort to the people affected. Before these changes took place, there were (lire prophecies of lynchings, of pillage, of rape, and of the dissolution of Southern so ciety. Yet during the period of Is change, there have been less lynch ty ings and better race relations than k- at any period in Southern history. ie The Southern white has ac n, quiesced in the decisions of the is Federal government, and the at Southern Negro has quietly and m inoffensively assumed his constitu ig tional prerogatives. at There are indications that the rk period of peaceful change is end ut ing. The howl of Herman Tal -'s madge in the Southern Governor's Conference is only one indication. ce The action of the fourteen Negroes ie who stationed themselves at four 1e teen different tables at the to Charleston Navy Yard cafeteria is r- another. 1s Two elements seem intent on is causing trouble; white extremists ts with no respect for Federal law i-land Negro extremists with no re respect for common sense.

Finances need not ly keel) any qlualified person from ut earning a college degree now, he of said. 1e "During the 1952-53 academic ie year, 441 students -- nearly a quarter of our full-time enrollment id -obtained financial help in the ts form of a scholarship of some of kind," Dean Denkins declared. The or scholarships' total monetary value in was $264,000. Industries are con a- stantly establishing new scholar -s, ships andl other forms of aid to s'" help young men and women finance o- their education; and at least part o- of the flow of new scholarships is ad due to industry's growing demand as for scientists and engineers, he or wvent on. li'sses MiII group slot.

The Negro extremists by their arrogance may alienate the vast majority of white people who are, at present, passive. 4 The leadership of Southern white opinion seems to be passing, from Byrnes, who is willing to limit the battle to the courts, to Talmadge, whose respect for the law was shown several years ago when he tried to seize the gover norship of Georgia by force. The guidance of Negro opinion may be slipping from the patient and legalistic NAACP to the "white baiting" Afro-American. If either a colored or white fanatic group seizes control fdf colored or wlite opinion, the result will be disorder, and even blood shed. The reforms of the last eight years will have been lost. The victims in the struggle will be all decent Southerners, regardless of race. The next two months will decide the issue. It is up to the moderate of both races to make sure that the contest is strictly a court con test, and that the decision of the court is accepted. The issue is no longer one of race, or of social justice. The issue is now one of the sanctity of the law. If either abuses the law, the constitution is but a farce and the South will have proved itself unworthy of self-government. The battle then is not race against race, but of law abiding citizens against fanatics. "Thirty years ago," according to Dean Deakins, "if a high school graduate wanted a college degree, he probably had to be well-off fi nancially; win one of not-too-many available scholarships; or else look forward to a very difficult sched ule of studies and part-time work." Waco, Tex. - (I.P.) - The as sorted problems of courtship and marriage, including fear of "ag gressive dates," lead to more anxiety among today's college co eds than any other cause. Fears of Baylor University coeds were examined by Robert D. Wickhanm, a graduate psychology student. He revealed his findings in a thesis for the master of arts degree. Some 700 girls, including 40 per cent of the coedi enrollment in each undecrgradiuate class, were included in the survey. Nothing immoral could be read into the findings of Wickham's category of sex fears. Some 40 per cent of the girls have fears of being old maids, some 47 per cent feared they'll-,iot be able to latch onto the mate best suited to them. Some feared they could not conceive children, while others admitted a fear of childbirth. Slightly more than 50 per cent expressedi a conscious fear of "aggressive dates." iIreland . . . incidentally, Ken ton cancelled his scheduled tour with Duke Ellington, claiming that it was all a mistake, and that both were too big to (d0 joint concerts ...Dixieland is still strong, a recent bash on the Coast bringing in a smash $18,000.
