HIGH TEST, LOW TEST, NO TEST
Just the other night I was saying to the little woman, "Do you
think the importance of tests in American colleges is being
overemphasized?" (The little woman, incidentally, is not, as
you might think, my wife. My wife is far from a little woman.
She is, in fact, almost seven feet high and heavily muscled.
She is a full-blooded Chiricahua Apache and holds the world's
4 hammer-throw record. The little woman I referred to is some
one we found crouching under the sofa when we moved into
our apartment several years ago, and there she has remained
ever since. She never speaks, except to make a kind of guttural
clicking sound when she is hungry. Actually, she is not too
much fun to have around, but with my wife away at track meets
most of the time, at least it gives me somebody to talk to.)
But I digress. "Do you think the importance of tests in
American colleges is being overemphasized?" I said the other
night to the little woman, and then I said, "Yes, Max, I do
think the importance of tests in American colleges is being
overemphasized." (As 1 hazve explained, the little woman does
not speak, so when we have conversations, I am forced to do
both parts.)
To get hack to tests-sure, they're important, but let's not
allowv them to get too important. There are, after all, many
qualities and talents that simply can't be measured by quizzes.
Is it right to penalize a gifted studlent whose gifts dlon't happen
to be of the academic variety? Like, for instance, Gregor
Sigafoos?
Gregor, a freshman at the New Hampshire College of Tanning
and Belles Lettres, has never passed a single test; yet all who
know him agree that he is studded with talent like a ham with
cloves. Hie can, for example, sleep standing up. He can (10 a
perfect imitation of a scarlet tanager. (I don't mean just do
the b)ird calls; I mean he can fly South in the winter.) He can
pick up B-B's with his toes. He can say "Toy boat" three times
fast. lie can build a rude telephone out of two empty Marlboro
packs and 100 yards of -butcher's twine. (Of all his impressive
accomplishments, this last is the one Gregor likes to do best
-not building the telephone, but emptying the Marlboro
p)acks. Gregor doesn't just dump the Marlboros out of the
pack. He smokes them one at a time-settling back, getting
comfortable, savoring each tasty puff. As Gregor often says
with a winsome smile, "By George, the makers of Marlboro
took their time finding this fine flavor, this great filter, and by
George, I'm going to take my time enjoying 'em I")
Well, sir, there you have Gregor Sigafoos-artist, humanist,
philosopher, Marlboro smoker, and freshman since 1939. Will
the world-so desperately in need of talent-ever benefit from
Gregor's great gifts? Alas, no. lie is in college to stay.
But even more tragic for mankind is the case of Anna Livia
Plurahelle. Anna Livia, a classmate of Gregor's, had no talent,
no gifts, no brains, no personality. All she had was a knack for
taking tests. She would cram like crazy before a test, always
get a perfect score, and then promptly forget everything she had
learned. Naturally, she graduated with highest honors and
degrees by the dlozen, but the sad( fact is that she left college
no more educated, no more p)reparedl to cope with the world,
thani when she entered. Today, a broken woman, she crouches
under my soffa. @ 1962 Mas SbuInam

The Carolina Gamecocks finally
put all the pieces together and
rolled to a 27-6 victory over
fumbleitis-plagued Wake Forest.
Outstanding on offense were
Billy Gambrell, who scored two
touchdowns to continue to lead the
ACC, and Dan Reeves who gained
140 yards through the air and on
the ground. Tops on defense were
Steve "Little Abner" Cox, the first
player not on the first team to
make "Cock of the Walk," and Ed
Holler and Tommy Pilcher. All
the boys played an outstanding
game, however.
Carolina set the tempo for the
game by rolling to a touchdown
the first time they got their hands
on the ball. Deacon Dan Reeves,
who was responsible for 55 of the
70 yards on the drive, made the
key play with a 32-yard single
wing type roll out. Gambrell
carried the ball in from the 3
with a typical "Bouncing Billy"
leap for the first of his two TD's.
Wake Forest came back only to
lose the first of four fumbles, all
resulting in lost scoring chances.
The game then reverted to an ex
cellent defensive show by Carolina,
exchanges of punts, and recoveries
of Deacon fumbles. One of these
fumbles led to the Gamecocks'
second touchdown with 1:51 left

The Tar Heels opened their sea

,iad the "tar" beat out of them by
.hree t o u g h teams: Michigan
state, 38-6; Ohio State, 41-7; and
Waryland, 31-13.
The Gamecocks' first win of the
,eason came last week with the
iefeat of Wake Forest 27-6, shap
ng up an overall of 1-2-1.

Alternating halfbacks Ronnie

iophomores, are dangerous return

ettermen Jim Alderman and Vic
Esposito are good tackles. In the
guard spotlight are seniors Duff
3reene and Jack Tillery, and the
flankers are Bob Lacey and John
lammett, both juniors.
North Carolina has a three-team
3ystem. The first team, a two-way
,mit, is composed of three seniors,
;ix juniors, and three sophomores.
rhere are only 14 returning letter
men on the team, and out of the
75-man team, only eight are sen
ors. The Tar Heels are predomi
'ately a sophomore team.
Coach Ralph Floyd, who scouted
Lhe N. C.-Maryland game last
.veek, had this to say of the Tar
heels: "When they stop making
mistakes and play together, they
wi1ll win some games. This is due
.o inexperience and the schedule
hey've played."
Columbia Speedway will drop
its NASCAR sanction for the
remainder of the 1962 season,
and is starting a Hobby Divi
