By BEATRICE TEODORO
The Southern sit-ins are ex-
periencing a "publicity squeeze,"
because of the policies of Southern
newspapers and officials, Rudolph
Lombard, chairman of the New
Orleans branch of the Congress of
Racial Equality said Saturday.
"News coverage has fallen off
deliberately," Lombard said. News-
papers realize that the reporting of
the sit-ins arouses the interest
of the public and helps the de-
segregation movement, he said.
City officials realize that any vio-
lence that might occur during a
sit-in would be a reflection on
their community, so they also
bring pressure to minimize cover-
age.
He mentioned that the "jail-in
technique"' was the most recent,
action to be effective in gaining
publicity, and cited the extensive.
national coverage of the arrests
and "jail, no bail" action in si,-ins
in Rock Hill, S.C.
A student at Xavier University,
Lombard pointed out the difficul-
ties in the prediction that success
in the desegregation movement
would come early in New Orleans
because of the city's diversified
Spanish, French and Creole back-
ground.
As the movement became more
active and the issues intensified.
people began to take sides, he said.
Although the Negroes are scat-
tered throughout the city in their
living areas, there is "no com-
munication between them andj
their white neighbors."
He pointed out progress in the
area with the establishment of
inter-racial groups discussing de-
segregation processes. He also
cited the revised policy of Tulane
University to accept students re-
gardless of race although the uni-
versity was first established for
the education of white males.

MANIPULATION OF SYMBOLS:
Brumfiel Describes Outline
For Ideal Math Curriculum
The ideal mathematics curricu-
l um should be built around con-
cepts of mathematcs rather than
around the formal manipulation
of symbols that represent the con-
cepts, Prof. Charles E. Brumfiel,
of the mathematics department,
said Saturday.
"We have in the past taught for
the most part, from kindergarten
through early college years, a dull
mathematics curriculum that
places a heavy premium upon
manipulation and ignores con-
cepts," he told mathematics teach-
ers atthe Michigan Schoolmaster's
Club meeting.
"We have given students much
to do, but little to think about."
Hatehers To Hold
Final Open House
President and Mrs. Harlan Hat-
cher will hold their final open-
house of the semester at their
home 4-6 p.m. Wednesday.
The last open house will be spon-
sored by the Michigan Union. En-
tertainment will be provided by the
Friars.
Polk To Discuss
Fertile Crescent
Prof. William R. Polk of the
Harvard Center for Middle Eastern
Studies will speak on "The Fertile
Crescent and Europe in the Nine-
teenth Century" at 4:15 p.m. to-
day in Aud. A.
He pointed out that the choice
of what is taught is not nearly as
important as the way it is taught.
The demands of American culture
will eventually dictate the broad
outlines of the mathematics cur-
riculum.
The task of the teacher will not
always be to feed predigested facts
to children, but rather open doors.
of knowledge to them, he de-
clared.
Prof. Brumfiel made several pre-
dictions about future mathema-
tics teaching. He noted that teach-
ers are .going to convince them-
selves the mathematics they teach
is difficult and there is no easy
way to persuade all children to
digest it.
A" relatively small amount of
children have a great aptitude of
mathematics, Prof. Brumfiel said.
Elementary arithmetic teaching
may be strongly influenced by
machine teaching. Blunders, and
dull programs stressing manipula-
tion will occur, but programs that
will nourish creativity and en-
courage the discovery of concepts
will be developed.
He also predicted a reaction
against machines that tend to
clutter the classroom. The child
needs an environment that en-
courages him to count and invent
short cut calculation procedures.

The subject of "world affairs" is no longer a cocktail
party gambit, nor should it be reserved for the lecture
platform.
Today, we need to be informed-literally for our sur-
vival. How can we avoid another Laos? The Black
Muslims... who are they? What do they want? Are
we losing in the race for nuclear Weapons, in the ex-
ploration of outer space?
To answer such questions the Contemporary Affairs
Society proposes a seminar on survival, right in your
own home, with your family and friends. The impor-
tant books recommended for this seminar are chosen
by men you can trust, who are themselves authorities
in government, science, politics and world affairs.
