So-called "intellectuals" who know
all the answers oftentimes are "un
intelligent." a University of Iowa
psychology professor told the
American Psycnoiogicai associa

"When carried to extremes men
tal stunts such as crossword puz

mind," said Dr. George D. Stod

formation i.s the antithesis of in
telliirent activity."
rr Stoddard charred that nres-

"originality," and "measure only
items which have been overieamea
and do not show what new solu

or an adult can produce.
'Therefore, an I.Q. of 140 or
even more can no longer be con
sidered an evidence of genius."

The real object of the kitchen

department; however, any girl
who is ambitious enough to care
to use it for other purposes should
feel perfectly free to do so.
