SUNDAY, MARCH 19, 1933 Miotional Stress .s An Influence On Grades A N INTERESTING feature of the Academy of Science, Arts and Let-' s Meeing from the students' point of view was aper by Wendall Vreeland of the Detroit Board Education entitled "The Influence of Emotion Motor Activity." Mr. Vreeland pointed out that it is well-known at under certain favorable circumstances ex- lent students may make very poor showings examinations, and that it is unjust to credit1 ch a showing entirely to the student's knowl- ge of the subject. His experiment dealt with , specific problem of how emotional stresst uses fluctuations of this nature in the writing examinations, and the charts he presented 4icate clearly that the subject is well worthy oft ether study.t In large classes and in all-lecture courses it is possible to evaluate the student's grasp of the bject in the classroom, and the teacher is forced place a practically 100 per cent reliance on e bluebook in determining the grade. If the stu-.. nt's curve of learning' were a smooth curve such 1 basis would be perfectly justifiable, but Mr. eeland's curves were a succession of "humps" d "hollows," and it is too often the case that e bluebook hits the hollow instead of the hump. r example, how many students feel above par any respect at 8 a. m. Monday?' [t is not easy to find a solution to the prob- n. If a correction factor might be figured out' rough which a proper evaluation could be tained, as the experiment hinted, it would be e, but each case would require a different cor- tion factor. At any rate the question merits further con-. leration, and we hope something can be done1 out it. discussion, the teacher naturally believes that the class is sincere in its questions and consequently tries to answer all of them to the best of his ability. It is in this type of class that many would like to take the "intelligent questioner" aside and quietly break his neck. Looking Backward The Unsung Heroes..

Trio for Violin, Violincello and Piano . . . .Pizzetti Mosso e arioso-Vivace Largo Rapsodia di Settembre Trio in E flat Major ... . ............ Andreae Allegro moderato Molto adagio Presto Editorial Comment _. Nearly every move taken during the past three weeks by the President and the national and state governments has been strangely congruent to state and local action taken in 1907 in an attempt to allay the financial fears of the people. The single exception concerns the recent restriction of gold exportation, a ban not exercised in 1907. In October, 1907, a panic seized New York City. Bankers there met the demand of hoarders for money by issuing negotiable certificates in differ- ent forms, and ultimately, by limiting with- drawals. The effect of the panic on western banks, however, was more distinct, and their lack of a supply of currency to meet withdrawals led to the legal declaration of bank holidays in four states, Nevada, Oklahoma, Oregon, and California. The holidays, as declared, were for periods of one to six days, and in each case were renewed at their expiration. Since the federal government at that time had taken no hand in regulation, the banks framed their own versions of the holidays and in nearly every case permitted withdrawals for household expenditures. A depositor who wished to take limited funds from a bank during the pe- riod stated that the money was for such a pur- pose, and upon identification he was given his money. Scrip money in the form of vouchers was issued by eastern banks in 1907 to supply depositors with liquid funds. Manufacturers and large employers issued their own forms of scrip. Clearing house certificates, discussed as a substitute for currency during the past two weeks, were used then in eastern sections only for loan transactions be- tween banks, but were widely circulated as a form of currency in towns and cities in Georgia, South Carolina, Iowa, Pensylvania, Missouri, Tennessee, California, Alabama, Oregon, and Utah. Three of these, Utah, Oregon and California are among states which have set up extensive machinery for issuance of scrip money during the recent holiday. Business men of 1907 who were faced with pay- rolls and other necessary expenditures, and whose funds were tied up by withdrawal limitations, soon resorted to the practice of selling certified checks on the limiting banks at a discount, for currency or gold. This practice brought much hoarded money into circulation, brought American gold from foreign countries, but had the addi- tional effect of causing heavy withdrawals from banks still wide open, and so ultimately brought about limitations in all banks. The check dis- counts paid ranged from one to four per cent. The ultimate effect of the bank holidays and temporary money system of 1907 was to allay the panic spirit of the people. When the situation had quieted down and banking business was resumed, there was no revival of the mania for hoarding. Resumption of full payments to depositors came within a few weeks of the beginning of the holi- days, and within four months the temporary money had been retired from circulation. Today's parallel to the recovery of 1907 cannot yet be cited as history. Supplementary factors for recovery, however, including the substantial background of the Federal Reserve System, the prohibition of gold exports, and a systematic gov- ernment-supervision plan for recovery and econ- omy, should serve only to accelerate a return to normalcy.

The sandburr has burrs to spread its seeds broadcast, the rabbit eyes set at the side of its head so that it may see back- wards when it is running. On the surface, excuses for living are not always apparent. We believe that whenever possible the reasons for existence should always be made known, and if no explan- ation is forthcoming it is often possible to elim- inate much useless material, deadwood. Of such a breed are campus politicians. Just what good are these creatures scurrying around the campus? Do they justify their own existence? We would like to know. If elected to office will these men accompilsh any definite good, or are they just publicity seekers for themselves and their fraternities? Can they justify their running for office? Can they offer any definite program for the benefit of campus institutions which, goodness knows, certainly need benefiting? A singular phenomenon takes place every se- mester on the Wisconsin campus. Men and women run for office and are elected. Why? We suggest a method of finding out. The Men's Union board should call the Men's assembly to hear the candidates give their plat- forms and reasons for running. The public should be permitted to attend. The custom of getting votes because a person is well known is outworn. its only benefit is to make the person better known. Does any positive good come out of this process? We' want to know, and we are sure that the rest of the campus would also be interested to find out. Therefore we publicly ask the Men's Union board to call the Men's assembly and the candidates, permit attendance of the public, and let the university find out what it is all about. -Daily Cardinal FUEL FOR A BATTLE ON FOOTBALL'S DANGERS Ammunition for opponents of athletics was' furnished this week in the death of Monte Lee Munn, member of a famous University of Ne.- braska athletic family. After a long career in foot- ball and wrestling, he died of a sudden heart attack at the age of 32. So those who have long maintained that "ath- letic heart" is an active peril for American college men can point to the case and say "I told you so." Then their adversaries, supporters of athletics, will dig out their frequently-used books of sta- tistics, and show that such-and-such number of athletes lived so many years longer than an equal number of non-competitors. Each side will call upon expert testimony and will find hundreds of physicians ready to support its view. No one will make much of an investi- gation, and the public will be generally apathetic to the whole affair. Then the controversy will subside, without a decision, to await the next report from Columbia university of vital statistics on university students, or the next death before 40 of a man who played football in college. -Daily Iow i n State Street BOOKSTORES East University Avenue I t-~ STR I &0 STiRIPES e Huey Longs The Classroom. F ILIBUSTERING is not confined to the Senate and Huey Long as any student who has been forced to listen to the bright boy who asks "intelligent" questions in class can testify. You all know him, you all hate him, this worthy who is so anxious to impress his intelligence on the instructor that he absolutely halts class discussion for half an hour so that he can discuss some abstruse and totally irrelevant point with the professor. A slight variant of this pest is the one who thinks it is smart and funny to try to get the man conducting the class so tangled up that he must make lengthy explanations to point out the fallacy in the student's reasoning. While the instructor is attempting in all good faith to set members of the class right on a point on which they seem to have gone astray, this chap is chuck- ling because he has taken tap a valuable part of the class time which might otherwise be used profitably. This type of filibustering is particularly perni- cious in the course in which most of the time is devoted to lectures and laboratory periods, with only one or two quiz sections a week in which puzzles can be solved by the professor. And yet it is in this sort of course that the intelliaent ,----y Karl Seiffert DARK THREAT DEPARTMENT "Beer is, and always has been, the most bru- talizing of all drinks.
