ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR ARTHUR, WINTER . . . discusses recent big city elections.
Government Process Effective
I
ecent Elections
phow
The most significant out
come of recent city elec
tions in Boston, Gary and
Cleveland is that Negroes
still have faith in the effec-
j tiveness of normal govern
I mental processes as a
means of solving their
j grievances, according to
1 Arthur B. Winter, associate
professor of political
science.
f "When groups loose faith
in the political process,
they tend to resort to a
more activist type of solu
tion, such as violent demon
' strations," Winter said.
The three elections were
of national significance be
cause in Gary and Cleve
land the candidates for
mayor in each race were a
Negro and a white.
In Boston the importance
was whether to equally pro
portion Negro school chil
dren in Boston public
schools by means of bus
transportation.

BUS ISSUE
The candidate in Boston
who favored the bussing of
children to balance out the
Negro school population
was Kevin H. White, who
won the election.
White's opponent, Mrs.
Louise Day Hicks, was
against proposed desegrega
tion plans for schools with
nearly total Negro enroll
ments. Candidates in Cleveland
were Carl B. Stokes, a Ne
gro, and Seth C. Taft. Stokes
won the Nov. 7 election.
"The outcome of the elec
tion shows that Negroes in
these cities are still in
terested in the political
compromise as opposed to ,
the 'instant freedom' policy
as advocated by persons
like H. Rap Brown," Winter
said.
The elections also indicate
there was a considerable
amount of white backlash
involved in the outcomes.

Winter said white back
lash was a definite factor
in these elections, especial
ly in Cleveland.
Negroes in Cleveland ac
counted for 28.9 per cent of
the population which
amounts to about 262,800 Ne
groes, according to the 1960
U.S. census report.
Gary has a population of
178,000 with 71,200 Negroes
or about 38.9 per cent, in
1960.
"This indicates that the
modern white view of Negro
standing is still in the sad
dle," Winter noted.
"It indicates that white
extremists do not have the
upper hand," he added.

Yale Faculty Alters
Grading Procedure
NEW HAVEN (CPS)
The Yale University fac
ulty has voted to replace
numerical grading vith a
system under which stu
dents will be given one of
four designations for their
work fail, pass, high pass,
or honors.
The new system will be
gin next year and contin
ue on an experimental bas
is for at least five years.
Y a 1 e' s present system
makes use of a grading
scale from 40 to 100, with
60 as the lowest passing
grade. The university at
present compiles cum
ulative averages for each
student, but it will no long
er do so when the new sys
tem goes into effect.
The change at Yale is
largely the result of recom
mendations mady by the
faculty's Course of Study
Committee, according
to Strobe Talbott, chair
man of the "Yale Daily
News." Some student or
ganizations have been work
ing to end the numerical
system, however.
Derek Shearer, head of
the Student Advisory Board,
said the new system "moves
away from the pseudo-scientific
claims of the num
bers system." He added
that "It should make for
an improved class atmos
phere, for there will be no

Why is IBM interested in so many different people?
The basic reason is growth. Information processing is
the fastest growing, fastest changing major industry in the
world. IBM products are being used to solve problems in
government, business, law, education, medicine, science, the
humanities just about any area you can name. We need peo
ple with almost every kind of background to help our custom
ers solve their problems. That's why we'd like to talk with you.
What you can do at IBM
Whatever your major, you can do a lot of good ihings at
IBM. Change the world (maybe). Make money (certainly).
more quibbling about num
bers. "There would, I hope, be
more concern for the qual
ity of a student's work in
terms of ability."
Still undecided is the
question whether or not the
university's two academic
honor lists the dean's list
and ranking scholar desig
nationare to be continued.
Talbott is hopeful they
will be abolished, but indi
cated that the new grading
system will have importnat
consequences for students
regardless of what is done
about honor lists.
When students apply to
graduate school in the fu
ture, according to Talbott,
"recommendations are go
ing to be much more im
portant than they have
been.
"Graduate schools are
going to look much more
closely at what faculty
members say about a stu
dent's work."
The new system is also
likely to end the campus
wide competition for
grades. A student's per
formance will be compared
with the performances of
other students in his depart
ment. At present, Talbott point
ed out, students are ranked
by grade average in spite
of the fact that some de
partments give generally
higher grades than others.

The United States gov

its public relations ap
proach and tell the people
the facts, Harrison Salis
bury, managing editor of
the New York Times told
Sigma Delta Chi represent
atives Thursday.
He said the public rela
tions approach has created
uneasiness among the
American public in their
government and the com
munications and news me
dia. One of the reasons for this
uneasiness is that govern
ment information officials
are acting like public rela
tions men trying to put the
best gloss on government,
he said.
"I suggest that this is not
the role of government in
formation officers.
"When things are bad,
they're afraid to say they're
bad," he said, "and this
causes a general type of
unrest and unease."

story in the press, he said.
Salisbury, who formerly
worked as a Moscow cor
respondent for the New
York Times, compared the
present American lack of
confidence in the press to
that of the Stalin era of
the Soviet Union.
"By the time Stalin died,
newspapers were produced
that the public read for
what it did not say . . .
Pravda said one thing; they
(the public) believed the
opposite.
"Because the average
Russian reader disbelieved

Salisbury said.

Nov.29thor30th
this past summer.
The Pulitzer prize win
ning reporter discussed the
"active affect" of his sto
ries about U.S. bombing of
Hanoi.
His stories were probably
the first to report that ci
vilian housing was being
hit in bombing attacks on
Hanoi.
"I don't think there was
anything dramatic about
this," he said.
But he noted that people
reacted in disbelief that
the U.S. was hitting civil
ian areas.
"This occurred not be
cause of the reporting but
because of a governmental
information policy that
there was bombing in which
you hit a gun and did not
hurt a little kid standing
30 feet away," he said.
