University Of London
Revises Regulation
For B. Sc. Degree

University College Of the
West Indies : The University
of London has undertaken a
complete revision of the regu-
lations for the B.Sc. (GeneraD
degree which will make the
new degree Of a higher stand
ard. It will be possible to take
the old examination up to
1860 but honours will not be
awarded after 1859.
The University College OF
the West Indies plans to in
troduce these new regulations
in October 1857 to apply to all
students admitted.
Under the new regulations,
t h e present intermediate
Examination and courses at
that level will be abolished.
Instead, there will be a
preliminary Examination" at
about the same standard, fol-
lowed by a three-year Univer-
sity course for the B. Sc.
General (Honours or Pass
degree. I.
The B.Sc. General Degree
will be taken in two parts
Part I in three subjects, after
one year at the college, and
Part II, in two subjects, after
a further two years.
For students who have not
reached the required level in
science subjects at school, the
University College will offer
a preliminary one-year science
course from which it will be
possible to proceed to the Part
/ course. Such students will
study for four years at the

on a moonlit night at the town

dog and the stray dogs to be

KnoWIund Plan

Senator Knowland has 0hered a
possible compromise on the controver-
sial issue of reciprocal assignment Of
American and Communist Chinese news
correspondents. The Californian, an I'M
relenting opponent Of formal recognition
of the Peiping government, has sug-
gested that Red correspondents be adj
mitted to this country on temporary
news certificates" rather than by offlcial
passport and visa. Coming from Mr..
Knowland, the idea is at least an inter-
esting one and it is significant that he
took the same occasion to say that he
would like to see the channels Of news
information opened up between the two
countries. Neither Mr.. Knowland nor
anybody else believes, Of course, that
Communist Chinese correspondents in
the United States would report objec-
lively or without Red-line propaganda
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-09-04

to their own country. At the same time,
as he points out, It Is possible that some
Of the Chinese correspondents them
selves would get IAN entirely different
view Of the Western world than they
have from reading their own propa-
ganda."
Apart from the policy matter. there
may be questions Of legal technicalities
In the Knowland proposal which the
Justice and State Departments need to
consider. A study Of these. however,
poses no diflculty and any further ac-
ton could be based upon the findings
reached. There is the question, too, Of
whether the Peiping government might
favor this compromise formula-or take
umbrage at the idea of second class
status" for its correspondents. In any
case, the idea has been placed on the
table and there seems no possible harm
In exploring 1t further.

Test in Little Rock

The latest development in Little
Rock indicates that Governor Faubus
intends to use his National Guardsmen
to bar Negro students from the city's
high school.
He has said that he is not enter
posing" the authority OF the State
against that of the Federal courts; that
he is intent only upon maintaining order
and safeguarding the people Of the COM
munity. In justification of this action,
the Governor says there has been an
extraordinary sale of guns and knives
to both whites and Negroes, and that
he fears violence.
It appears. however, that q clear
cut test now is in the making. When
school opened this morning, one Negro
girl, followed later by several other
Negroes, arrived unattended and at
tempted to pass through the line Of
Guardsmen into the high school. All
were turned back, presumably under
instructions from the Governor, and this
evidently is an open challenge to the
order directing integration which was
issued last night by Federal Judge Ron
aid N. Davies. The judge issued the
order upon receiving request for guild
ance from the Little Rock School Board,
which had planned to inaugurate today
. 10-year plan of gradual integration.
OF course, the Governor may change
his mind and permit Negro students
to enter the school at some later time.
But as things stand now, especially in
the light Of the circumstances under
which those who tried to enroll today
were turned away, the reasonable infer
ence is that the Governor, despite his
earlier disclaimer, intends to bring about
court test of his power to resist the
court order. If so, he has embarked, we
think, on lost cause. For while the
Governor has duty to use the Guard
tc maintain order, he has no duty to
prevent Little Rocks school board from
carrying out its own plan Of Indignation.

Missing the Point

George Meany, president of the
AFL-CIO, was unsparing In his Labor
Day denunciation Of thieves and racket
GERS who have infiltrated the union
ranks. He was also outspoken in saying
that I'VE can and will expel from our
ranks organizations that are found by
public investigatory bodies to be sub
stantially influenced in the conduct Of
their affairs by corrupt elements or
individuals"
He went on from there, however,
Ito say that labor will hight to the last
ditch" any attempt to "fasten further
restrictive legislation upon the entire
trade union movement" and 1t is in this
connection, we think, that he misses the
point.
Suppose, for example, that the
ITeamsters Union should be expelled
from the AFL-CIO That might be con-
sistent with Mr.. Meanys declaration Of
lpolicy. Yet the Transfers, even though
Iexpelled, would sim function as pow
lerful union-but without any protection
for the rank-and-file members or the
public. 1t is in precisely such situation
that restrictive" legislation would be
most urgently needed, and such legisla-
ltion could hardly be made applicable
only to expelled unions.
\ What is needed is legislation to pre-
vent abuse Of power by irresponsible or
'tfooked union leaders. We have such
laws regulating industry today. They
apply to all industry. But they come
into operation only when some particu-
lar industry or industrial leader violates
the law, and we see no reason why this
same formula should not be applied to
unions. Those unions which do not abuse
their power would have nothing to fear
from new legislation.

New College in Area

Doubts concerning the future Of the
Northern Virginia branch of the Univer-
sity OF Virginia have been dispelled by
the decision to open the college In tenn
porary quarters at BaiIeys Cross Roads.
The inauguration by the branch Of full
time classes In an old elementary school
building is regarded as an augury of
early settlement of the controversy over
a permanent site for the college. The
dispute at one time grew so heated that
there was talk Of abandoning the project
altogether.
However, governing authorities in
Arlington and Fairfax Counties and the
cities Of Alexandria and Falls Church
had announced that II the University
OF Virginia decided to withdraw, another
university would be invited to establish
branch In nearby Virginia. It would
have been regrettable, however, II the
University OF Virginia had ended its edu-
cational program In Northern Virginia.
This program began several years ago
with establishment at Washington-Lee
High School Of part time branch,
called the University Center.
BY finding a suitable temporary
home in Fairfax County, the new college
will be able to organize and begin opera
ton while efforts to find satisfactory
permanent site are proceeding. We hope
the university board at Charlottesville
and Northern Virginia authorities will
come to an agreement on the site prob
lem before the advent Of another school
term.

THIS AND THAT
By CHARLES (. TRACEWELL

ing to push God out Of every
thing.
when we went to school.
Temp and /. it opened with
our Lords prayer. q salute to
the nag. and the singing Of
America
Some times we'd learn and
recite the Golden Rule. or the
Ten Commandments. We
were taught love Of God and
country.
II am glad 1t was that way
for it gives US something very
precious to remember and to
hold onto.

Things have changed, for
now some parents viii not
let their children say the
Lords prayer, salute the nag,
or have anything to do with
such teachings.
II see that in . certain
school in New Jersey q group
Of children are forbidden to
bow their heads and ask the
blessing before going to their
meals in the cafeteria.
Thank God for those who
are fighting to keep Him in
the school and the home as
well as in the churches, and
there He will always be, for
God will not be shut out, and
should come first. As His
commandment states. Thou
shall have no other gods be-

There was reading and
writing and 'rithmetic, and
1t was on the latter that
young Temp Jones usually
foundered.
But with his pragmatic
mind, he managed to save the
situation by concentrating on
the other two.
Even today. there are only
two things in the world he
can do-read and write, and
he has done millions and
millions Of words at each.
Well, one can do worse.

called then. that he met his

NISTAS IN SCIENCE
Vitomins May Lead to Longer Life

The average man may live
20 years longer in the next
half century.
This is the prediction of
Sir John Boyd Orr, expressed
q few days ago before the Ma
tional Vitamin Foundation.
1t is q conservative expan-
sion of the increase in human
life span during the last half
century, when advances were
few and difiicuit. DR.. Orr
spoke especially on the record
In the British Isles, with
which he is best acquainted.
The increase, DR.. Orr said,
will be accomplished by
better knowledge of human
nutrition. Much of the adj
vance in the past has been
a com plished by better
knowledge Of vitamins. But"
he said, taking a long view
even more important is the
untouched field Of the role
Of vitamins in metabolism.
This will throw light on all
vitamin and other factors
affecting the still mysterious
life processes. II SUFFICIENT
effort be devoted to funda-
mental research, the expecta-
ton Of life at birth, which
in countries where modern
medicine has been applied
has increased 20 years since
1900. may be increased an
other 20 years in the second
half Of this century"
Food Not Enough
Better eating alone. DR.. Orr
admits, is not a complete So
luton. There Is such q thing
as being too well nourished.
In the class with too much
money, he stresses. there
seems evidence Of the effect
Of fats in cardio-vascular
disease which is increasing in
wealthy countries and low in
poor countries with q low
average fat intake"
He stressed further that
deficiency in proteins. nitro
gen-containing foods. Is as
prominent in ill-nourished
people as vitamin deficiency.
Little Is known Of the effects
Of this deficiency. But in the
last few years chemists have
succeeded in synthesizing
most of the amino acids, the
building blocks Of proteins.

Disputes Lawrence

DAVID BaWrence'S column
entitled Americas Week Of
Infamy'" prompts some
observations. He has much
to say about the breaking
down of certain States rights
by civil rights legislation
passed by Congress. ! am
sure that Mr.. Lawrence is
acquainted with the 18th
Amendment:
Section /. The right Of
citizens Of the United States
to vote shall not be denied
or. abridged by the United
States or by any State on
account Of race, color or
previous condition Of servi-
tude.
Section 2. The Congress
shall have power to enforce
this article by appropriate
legislation"
This amendment was in
tended to give the fullest ex-
preston to one Of the funda-
mental principles Of de-
mocracy. the dignity Of each
individual. The broadest
aspect Of ethical precepts
consists in the moral duty
and the responsibility which
each State has towards the
individuals within it. In
practice, many States are
woefully deficient in this
sense.
It is this deficiency--con-
sisting Of the denials to GER
tain citizens by the Southern
States and by certain indi-
viduals within 1t. Of the ele-
mentary right to vote-that
the civil rights legislation, it
is hoped, win cure.
Mr.. Lawrence is more con-
cerned with the legal as
poets Of the legislation than
with human beings. whose
rights 1t is intended to pre-
serve.
Mr.. Lawrence would have
It appear that under this
legislation. the rights Of the
States would be taken away
under color Of law" He
finishes: TITS q sad chapter
in American history-a turn
back to the reactionary con-
cept that an intolerant ma
jority can at any time
ignore the constitutional
rights Of the States" The
implication Of this statement
is that those within the
States referred to are in q
minority and that their rights
are being taken away. What
about the rights Of the ma
jority? Don't they have
any? Rather this was a week
Of fulfillment. even though
1t is only one step in the
right direction.

There was an ugly old
girl named Mildred. \,
She was q nice girl. q good
girl, but of the roaming kind,
as q song was to say many
years later.
School rooms had cloak
rooms attached, in those
days.
You were supposed to take
on your coat and hat, and
your rubbers, and come into
the room from the back.
The boys hung their coats
on. the right side, the girls
on the left.
1t was one bright spring
morning, when Temp Jones.
80 pounds, met Mildred. 100
pounds, head on.
He was rushing in, she was
rushing out.
There was q crash, and q
bang, as young Jones took
the count.
He sprawled on the floor,
made Of bare boards with
splinters. to the roar Of his
classmates.
The browning indignity
was to come.
1t wasn't enough that he
had been knocked almost
silly. or that he scuffed his
new shoes. and even his
hand, as he landed.
1t wasn't enough that even
Teacher smiled. despite her
tender heart.
No. that silly lummox Of a
Mildred had to stoop over,
help him up. and ask before
all the class:
Are you hurt. Templeton?"
Hours, days. even years
would pass. but the memory
Of that moment would rankle
forever.
Seconds. minutes. hours
would crawl, while class
mates. in mock delight. would
query:
Are you hurt. Templeton?"
Hurt-why. Of course he
wasn't hurtl He sprang up
quickly, to show to all and
sundry that old Mildred
couldn't hurt him, no matter
how much she weighed.
Still, every time he rounded
the door, from then on, he
was sure to hear a smoker.
and he knew what the lips
were saying.
Are you hurt. Temple
ton?"
Even down the corridors Of
time, he could hear the
scurry and the laughter and
that Hateful question. It even
cropped up one day on the
blackboard. and he erased
It; but he could never quite
sponge 1t from his memory.
