Conflicting opinions according to a

'n,"l by 86 per cent with four
■■"ying it was okay. Eight
per cent of those interviewed had
no opinion. One person said it
should be allowed if permissible.
Covering Campus Life
Ratings of the job the Rambler
is doing in covering campus life
varied all the way from excellent
to poor. Twenty-four per cent
said the job was excellent, 48 per
cent said it was good, 20 per cent
said a fair job was being done, and
six per cent rated the job poor.
One person qualified his poor rat-
ing with the statement, "In some
respects." One student said all
clubs and their social functions
should be covered by the staff and
not just the clubs that are repre-
sented on the staff. The remain-
ing two per cent gave no opinion.
Former Communists
The question of whether former
members of the Communist party
should be allowed on college facul-
ties brought the largest barrage of
no opinions, 20 per cent. Forty-
eight per cent said they should not
be allowed. One student comented
that they should not be allowed
unless' better than average assur-
ance that they are reformed is
given. *
Thirty-two per cent voted yes to
this question but most of them
qualified it with such statements
as, if they are properly labeled, if
they declare themselves no longer
members, and if they have reform-
ed and their loyalty to God and
country has been proven beyond
the shadow of a doubt. One per-
son said yes because God gives man
a second chance.
Race Relations
Two questions concerning race
relations had devotees on both
sides of the fence. One of these
questions was how do you feel
about the policies of some colleges
which state that Ijpgroes may not
enroll there. Fifty-four per cent
of the interviewees disapproved
and 40 per cent approved. Of those
saying they were in favor of these
policies one said, "I'm from the
deep south." Another said, "I m in
favor of enough colleges for Neg-
roes." One student neither ap-
proved nor disapproved, but said
that the question should be left to
student vote. Four per cent had
no opinion.
Some fraternities and sororities
have clauses in their constitutions
stating that they will accept as
members only individuals of the
white race. How do you feel about
o
this policy? Fifty-six per cent
disapproved while approximately
the same forty per cent that ap-
proved non-entrance of Negroes in
colleges approved this question.
One student said they approved
if 'the choice is left to the vote of
the individual fraternity or sorori-
ty. One person qualified his disap-
proval with the statement that if
the college accepts Negroes in the
school they should be allowed to
join the fraternities and sororities.
One individual said, "There should
be no racial segregation and I'm a
southerner, too."
Members of Jewish Faith
Clauses in constitutions of frater-
nities and sororities stating that
they' will not accept as members
people of the Jewish faith was
condemned by a large majority, 86
per cent. Six per cent approved of
this policy and eight per cent had
no opinion. One person said it
should be left to the vote of the
individual fraternity or sorority as
in the question on admittance of
Negroes.
Editorial Policy
The question of who should have
control over the colege newspaper's
editorial policy brought out two
dominant opinions. Forty-two per
cent said it should be controlled by
the student editor while the same
percentage, 42, said it should be
controlled by a joint board of stu-
dents and faculty. School admin-
istration received the vote of ten
per cent. O^ie student said the
workday stildent should control the
editorial policy. Another said the
student editor and staff. Two per
cent had no opinion.
Student Thought
Fifty-six per cent of the people
interviewed rated the job the
Rambler is doing in stimulating
student thought as good. Thirty
per cent said it was fair and ten
per cent said the job was excellent.
Four per cent had no opinion. One
person who had no opinion stated
as his'reason the fact that he never
reads the Rambler.
Advisor Checks Copy
In some schools a publications
faculty advisor reads and checks
al the newspaper copy before it is
published. How do you feel about
this policy? This question brought
approval from 54 per cent while 38
per cent disapproved. Two stu-
dents qualified their approval with
these comments, "I approve of his
proof reading, but not to change
it." and "I approve but he should
be open minded about it."
Four per cent neither approved
nor disapproved but said that the
faculty advisor should have only
veto power, and also that the stu-
dents should be able to override the
veto with a two-thirds vote. An-
other of this four per cent said that
the faculty advisor should not let
his personal opinion enter in. Four
per cent had no opinion, personal
or otherwise. .
Peace' in Korea'
On the qeustion of chances fo
peace in Korea, 85 per cent of the1
students interviewed said they did
not think the Korean War would
be over within the next six months.
Not a single person voted yes to
thsi question. Twelve per cent had
no opinion. The remaining four
per cent said that this question de-
pends upon our foreign policy or
that there is a slight chance. One
person said that they believed this
depends wholly on Eisenhower's
personally.
Settlement of Differences
On chances for a peaceful set-
tlement of differencies between
Russia and the United States, 70
per cent said the chances are poor.
Sixteen per cent said fair and-
per cent said good. Eight per
said there was no chance and two
per cent had.no opinion. One per-
son said that there was no chance
under present policy. One student
said the chances are poor, but they
could be considerably improved if
Margaret Truman would marry
Stalin's son.
Students majoring in various
fields were interviewed. The fields
represented, liberal arts, law, medi-
cine, dentistry, agriculture, educa-
tion, business, engineering, home
economics, religion, history, physi-
cal education, romance languages,
speech, science, commercial art,
and one freshman who confessed
he didn't know.
This poll of student opinion was
taken in cooperation with the As-
sociated Collegia! egress's National
Poll of Student Opinion. Results of
this poll have been sent to ACP
headquarters where they will be
compiled along with results from
colleges and universities all over
the nation. When the results of

dent oiTwC, and Dri "Chiang Wook
Moon, associate professoV^of^social
sciences, attended the KegionaJ
Conference on Universities and
World Affairs at Southern Metho-
dist-University December 19-4.
The heonference, sponsored by
the Carnegie Endowment for In-
ternational Peace, Southern Meth-
odise University, Southern Region-
al Education Boarrd, and the Com-
mittee on Education in Interna-
tional Relations of Southern Uni-
versiies Conference, was held to
encourage international relation-
ship in colleges and universities,
not only from the standpoint of
teaching, but also the extra- culli-
cular acivities and social events.
The conference helped the 70 dele-
gates attending to understand
more fully the international out-
look and the world situation.
The 70 delegates were from four
southern states, Arkansas, Louisi-
ana, Oklahoma, and Texas. Thir-
ty-nine colleges and uuniversities
were represented at the conven-
tion.
Umprhey Lee, president of
Southern Methodist University,
was chairman. Howard E. Wil-
son, executive associate of the
Carnegie Endowment, was also
present at a similar conference in
Mexico City.
The topic most discussed was the
subject of interchanging students
and specialists. Other topics that
were discussed were off campus
services in adult education in in-
ternational relations, the training
of personnel foftechnical and so-
cial assistance, the training'" of
specialists in international rela-
tions, the extrta-curricular pro-
grams as a part of education in in
ternational relations, undergradu-
ate courses in international rela-
tions, the social sciences, and the
impact of world affairs on general
or liberal education.
The Carnegie Endowment sug-
gested that there be an interna-
tional committee of five or seven
people, including studens, to have
survey and research to conduct
more foreign languages for rela-
tions .purposes, lectures, exhibits,
and concerts with an international
nature and setting between socials.
The Carnegie Endowment will
co-ordinate the international clubs
and student faculty committee.
It is the home of the Carnegie
Endowment to have more foreign
students, especially Korean, in all
colleges and universities living to-
gether as one group.
The conference extende an ap-
preciation for the things done by
the sponsors in attempting to
bring together international
groups.
and Sue Smith were on the steer-
ing committees from the dormitory
council. Dorothy Maim is presi-
dent of the dormitory counpil.
Dean of Women
Loses Automobile
Mrs. Sarah Singer Works, TW
dean of women, was on the trail
of a car thief Monday after dis-
covering that her late model car
was not in its place in the Faculty
Hall parking lot.
After alerting residents of the
hall, Mrs. Works inqilffed if any-
one had seen the thief or thieves
remove the automobile. She was
asked when the car was used last
and she couldn't remember driv-
ihg it" since Friday. A resident of
the hall suggested that she look
about the campus and see if it had
been left in another parking lot.
Minutes later the dean found
her car parked at Ann Hall where
she left it Friday afternoon.

Edwards, Speech-Drama Head\ Receives
Freshinan Presentation of Golden Rule
Happy New Year!
John C. Edwards, head of the
speech-drama department, was
chosen as this month's receiver of
the Golden Rule award, a monthly
award given by the freshman class
to a member of the faculty who
has fnelped them the most.
Edwards assumed duties as head
of the department this year, his
first year on the TWC campus. He
is a native of Beloit, Wisconsin.
He has received his Bachelor and
Science in Speech and Master of
Arts in Speech tfom Northwestern
University in Evanston, Illinois.
He has directed as well as acted
in numerous productions at North-
Wosterni Beloit College, the Belfry
Summer theatre in Williams Ray,
Wisconsin, His most recent direc-
tion work was on the TWC cam-
pus, where he was successful in
making a hit with 'Liliom.'
O
Not only has the active drama
fan been active in directing, he has
also made many appearances on
the stage. He has also been active
in backstage work, having been
stage manager, set designer, light-
ing engineer, and assistant direc-
tor in theatres of the above men-
tioned colleges. He has also writ-
EDWARDS
ten and directed several short
works in experimental staging.
For two years he was in the
Army as an instructor in basic
training aqd artillery gunnery.
There he did not lay his dramatic
wqfck aside, but wrote and produc-
ed scenes for instructional pur-
poses.
In civilian life he has had a
great deal of success as a private
teacher. He has been most inter-
ested in voice students in inter-
Igjetations, as well as fundamen-
tals of stage poi^e.
Edwards is "also an avid ama-
teur puppeteer. In the recent
Hallowe'en carnival, he wrote, di-
rected, and acted in a puppet play
given by the Thespian club. He
made his own puppets, as he has
done with lights, scenes, and pro-
perties.
The speech instructor has made
quite a hit with the students since
his coming to the college. It was
his building, the "speech shack,"
as it is called, that was first dec-
orated for the Christina# holidays.
Congratulations to a new mem-
ber of the TWC campus, for do-
ing such a wondenul job so far
this year.
