Darwinian C0oiCiept Helps Prove Actial Existence Of Relationship Theory By ROBERT SPECKHARD You may have hives in the morn- ing, indigestion in the afternoon and top the day off with an attack of asthma, but you have a compensa- tion-you are more intelligent-and don't let some skeptic convince you otherwise, because we've got facts to prove it, Dr. Buenaventura Jimenez, head of the Allergy Department of the Health Service declared yester- day. The conclusion is the result of nine years of data compiled from com- paring standardintelligence tests given to incoming freshmen and records of the Allergy Department, Dr. Jimenez said. From the deailed life histories of the freshmen and relatives and actual tests given at the Health Service, the Allergy Department statistically sep- arates those who are not allergic (Control Group) and those who suf- fer from various degrees of hyper- sensitivity in order of severity (Aller- gic Group I, II, etc.) The intelligence scores of these groups on the standard tests given in psychology, algebra, English, and "How to Sudy" are then computed. The probability that these tests are true measures of intelligence is high, but not perfect, Dr. Jimenez stated, but the results of correlating allergy and intelligence recorcs are so indica- tive of a relationship as to rule out error in the conclusion. An example will best illustrate the basis for Dr. Jimenez' conclusion that allergic people have a higher degree of general intelligence. On the English test 44.9 per cent of Al- lergic Group I scored in the lower half on the test, while 55.1 per cent had scores ranging in the upper half. In contrast to this only 46.9 per cent of the non-allergic Control Group scored in the upper half on the test, while 53.1 per cent were in the lower half. This same stratification exists in all the other tests with very minor percentage differences, indicating that the differences are not of partic- Diana Barr ymore Makes First Visit To College Class (Continued from Page 1) to get though," she said, "but there wasn't any especial stigma attached to it. Everyone knows his professors in Europe. I think you're missing something." A more pronounced criticism was leveled by Miss Barrymore at the method of teaching languages-that of emphasizing reading and syntax in beginning classes. "You didn't learn to read English first, did you?" she asked. "You had people talk a lot of words at you before you began to understand everything they said. "You ought to learn to speak first," she declared. "Certainly you'll make atrocious errors, but you'll learn from them, When I was in Italy I prob- ably shocked everybody by my terri- ble Italian, but I soon learned some- thing of the language, just by using it."

As far as a theory to explain this phenomena, one must be tentative, Dr. Jimenez said. Other work in this direction has been done, how- ever, and a theory has been evolved explaining the relationship between allergy and intelligenec that the data proves does exist. The frame of reference for the theory is the Darwinian concept of evolution through variation and in- heritance. The theory itself is a cellular explanationy A person who inheitits the activity to become specifically sensitive to cat hair, pollen, food protein, or some other offending agentrhas a body that is made up of cells which are huper- irritable or hyperactive compared with the normal. The brain cells of the allergic person may also be ir- ritable or hyperactive compared with the normal, which might account for the hyperactive mind of the allergic person. Dr. Jimenez conceives of these peo- ple with the variation of hyperactive body and brain cells as being in ad- vance of the main evolutionary stream. Hyperactive brain cells re- sult in greater mental activity (high- er general intelligence) but hyper- active body cells result in hypersen- sitiveness or allergy. Those who are more intelligent must suffer by be- ing allergic. Whether persons who are allergic can adapt their hyperactive body cell variation to our environment and thus eliminate or reduce their aller- gic condition is problematical, Dr. Jimenez declared, but meanwhile they can console themselves with the thought that they are the more in- telligent vanguard in the evolution- ary stream.
