"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. yi":i - om:{ 4:-v .OX RUDOLPH LOMBARD .. ORE representative 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. Positions open In SGC Group Petitions for student positions on the Committee on Membership in Student Organizations are available on the first floor of the Student Activities Building.

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.
