I Colgate Professor Says Coeds Get Good Marks by Personal Attraction And Bluffing Rather Than Study Are coeds wasting too much of llicir professors' time for no good reason? la their overwhelming scholastic zeal merely an attempt to get on the better side of their teachers? Do these same coeds excel in grades, but not necessarily in scholar- ship, which is a requisite lor elticiont worn ancr graduation i These are questions wnicn vvin-o consin students have been discuss ing utter Dr. Donald A. Laird, di rector of Colgste university psychological laboratory, answered them all by emphatic affirmatives. He is of the opinion that coeds get grades merely because they are masters of "approach" that they waste the time of their professors in order to insure their high aver ages, rather then condescend to actual study. Homely Coeds Offend In referring to the different types of coeds, the Colgate psy chologist says the homely coeds are the worst offenders, being forced to work twice as hard and pester their instructors twice as much in order to get grades half of what their more attractive schoolmates obtain. Unlike any of these, the "poor boys" find tbls course Impossible because they are hampered by a code of good sportsmanship. "While the academic honors may go to the coeds--and they usually do excel In grades, but not neces sarily In scholarship -this 'ap proach" used to obtain the grades is undeniably a poor preparation for competing in tbe business or Oklahoma Coeds Say Soap Uarmt SUin h ,o Lunger Employed Wlial!

Four ques tions regarding the uie of cos metics were saked university wpmrn, in co-operation with a na tional oiirvey sponsored thru the efforts of I'enival While, market ing counsellor of New York, and author of several books. Including "Analysis of Slock Markets." Five women Interviewed lined the excuse of "thin and tender skin" as the reason for not wash ing with a wiiRh rag and rake of nwp. "I rarely rvt-r use soap on my face," Louise Hudson said, "be cause It chaps my skin. A com loiinU of wheat cream Is less pain ful and will produce the same ef fect." AT Fl Declares Blacks Are Used For Experimentation, Not as Humans. PRAISES ADVANCEMENT "The negro baa been considered as an object of experimentation rather than as a human individ ual," declared Louis Swlngler. ne gro student enrolled In the Uni versity of Nebraska, at the World Forum luncheon Wednesday. Mr. Swlngler spoke on "The New Negro." Fifty people at tended tho meeting, which was held In tbe northwest room of the Temple cafeteria. "The negro has been considered as tomething of a social problem, something to worry with or worry about, and something to be kept down or to be kpt in his place," Mr. Swlngler continued . He ssid that the negro had come to see himself in this light and that his shadow was something more real to him than his real self. Understanding Impossible. "Little understanding can come from such an attitude as this," Mr. Swlngler stated. He declared, however, that the negro "was shedding his inferiority complex and achieving spiritual emancipa tion. Mr. Swingler said that the white people were beginning to appreciate the contributions which the negro has made to society. He told of the negro spirituals which were finding their way into the Wesleyan hymn books, since their value was realized because they were the result of 250 years of trials and tribulations. "Today the negro must not be seen through the dark spectacles of the past," Mr. Swingler stated. He asserted that such characters as "Uncle Tom" and "Rastus" which are associated with the or dinary imagination, no longer ex ist if indeed they ever did. The new negro is different from the negro of the Civil war period, ac cording to Mr. Swingler. Population Shifting. He enumerated tbe shifting of the population as the primary reason for the change. He said that the negro could no longer be considered only as a southerner since large proportions of the ne gro population resided In the north and west. He also stated that the shift in negro population has been cityward and toward the industrial centers. "This is not a blind flood com ing from the southern poverty stricken areas," Mr. Swingler declared, "but the negro has a new vision of opportunity in the north." He said that the feeling of racial consciousness had been instilled In the negroes about twenty years ago by workers of the racial commissions, such as (Continued on Page Two.) professional world after gradua tion. Cites Case As an example of this, be cites the case of a college coed graduate with a high average who, after being placed by a woman person nel executive, was discharged fol lowing one week of work because of her "bluff" attitude. Not only in the case of studies is this coed bluff carried on, Dr. Laird continues. He tells of other Instances, as follows: "It is authentically reported, for Instance, that a coed honor stud ent went to the dean of women the third month of her senior year at college. She told the dean that unless she could find remunera tive, she, would have to leave col lege. " 'Is It an emergency?,' asked the sympathetic dean. Way Grows Harder " 'Well, I have found things harder aod harder to pay for,' the girl replied, hesitatingly. " 'My dear child,' the dean ex claimed.
