Race Problems Discussed
Scudder Speaks to Y. M. C. A Inter-Racial Group
There is no scientific evidence to show that one race is mentally superior or inferior to another, in the opinion of Dr. Galen F. Scudder, traveling secretary for the student volunteer movement, who spoke at a meeting of the inter-racial group at the Y. M. C. A. office last night.
"This environment, of course, does have an effect on the material advancement of a people, as well as on their physical characteristics, but I do not believe any race can be branded as being interior spiritually or mentally because it has been subjected to adverse environmental conditions."
Doctor Scudder gave a talk at the Commons at noon today at a group meeting of the student volunteer band. Yesterday he talked to a group of medical students at a luncheon at the commons. Doctor Scudder has been in India as a medical missionary for the past six years.

Lawson Announces Revised Freshman Advisory System
Fifteen Faculty Members
Will Assist First Year
Students to Pick
Courses
Fifteen faculty advisers, eight for men and seven for the women, have been appointed to serve during the assigned period. The assistant assigned to one of these advisers.
A new freshman advisory system, designed to give each first your student at any time personal attention from the faculty in regard to grades, choice of courses, and all other problems of student life, was announced yesterday by Paul B. Lawson, assistant dean of the College.
Personal Attention Is Aim
The first part of the plan is essentially the same as that which has been used previously in regard to grades at the mid-semester. Beginning next Thursday, the advisers will begin a new course for men. This plan will be continued until Thanksgiving and again will be taken up for one week following the vacation. The adviser will have the mid-semester reports of the individual students, and this year also will have school report if it can be obtained.
Each freshman may confer with his adviser as long as he desires and he may discuss any problem that he finds confronting him. "The main object of the plan this year is to permit each freshman with his adviser, and to create a spirit of friendship between the two," Dean Lawson said.
The second part of the system is entirely new. Two weeks before final examinations of the semester, the advisors will again hold office hours for conferencing with the first year students. The schedule for the second semester will be ready by that time, and it is planned to use these conferences for the planning of the student's aide. The student will be given as long as he desires to plan his work with the adviser.
Enrollment to Be Simplified
The purpose of this part of the new plan is to eliminate the rush of enrollment. The treasian advises during enrollment not will be used. Each student must enroll in a different program when he enrols, with alternatives provided in case of closed classes or failures. He will have to go through only the machinery of enrolment.
The freshmen are particularly requested to confer with their advisers during these two periods when special office hours are maintained. However, the freshman may consult their advisers at any other time during the school year on any subject which they wish to discuss.
The handling of falling students will be similar to that of previous years. The grades of any student who is not doing satisfactory work at the mid-semester in 40 per cent of his work will be sent to his paranorm. If a student fails, he must not request him to confer with his adviser as soon as possible. If it
be deemed advisable to change his program, he will be sent to the dean's office.
Upperclassmen Plans Made
A similar plan of advisers for upper-
scholarship has been outlined by
Dean Lawson. This will be presented
at the next meeting of the College
The adoption of the system is the outgrowth of criticisms directed against the University for failure to give personal attention to its students, especially the freshmen. In the early fall Dean Lawson submitted a questionnaire toapproximate how he should guard to their choice of the courses of studies. Practically one-fourth answered that they would like to have had more time to confer with their advisers in enrolling. Only a very few expressed dissatisfaction on their courses. "We hope that by this new plan we will be able to answer all questions," he said, getting his perennial attention when he enrolls in the University," Dean Lawson said.
The advisors for the women are:
Missina Florence Black, Agnes M. Brady, Mary Grant, Beatha M. Morrison, Daniel D. Pappas, V. Walling and Alice Winstone. Those for the men are: Ray Q. Brewsher, C. C. Crawford, Domenica Gaglardro, A. J. MsX, C. J. Posey, Phillip A. Riley, W. Stratton, and L. T. Tuppy.
