pected to begin either late this fall
or next spring under the new sup-
port of the administration.
Originally sponsored by the Mott
Foundation of Flint, Mich., the
'U' T V Shows
Begin Second
Year Today.
Radar, dolls, the drama and foot-
ball are the subjects to be dis.
cussed today to open the second
year of live programs over the
University's Channel 20, WPAG-TV.
Dateline Ann Arbor will feature
a talk on radar-air defense and the
need for a civilian ground observer
corps by Lt. Col. Hughdow of the
30th Air Division. The time will be
> 6:45 p.m.
At 7:30, the operator of a doll
hospital in Ann Arbor, Mrs. Wil-
liam Keppler, will display some of
her dolls and describe the methods
she uses in her work on Studio
Sampler.
During the second part of the
program the new director of Ann
Arbor's Dramatic Arts Center will

talks were known as "Mott Lec-
tures." As such the selected speak-
ers were picked by a committee of
all campus organizational repre-
sentatives under the guidance of
Assistant to the President Erich
Walter and Lane Hall Director De-
Witt C. Baldwin.
The first Mott Lecturer in March,
1953 was Barbara Ward Jackson
of the 'London Economist.' How-
ever very soon after this lecture,
the Foundation announced that it
was ending support of the lectures.
The Mott group gave $5,000 for
the first lecture. It gave no reason
for the sudden extermination.
According to Walter, the Founda-
tion originally decided to sponsor
the lectures on "an experimental
basis. After the first year's experi-
ment,. the Foundation decided to
discontinue the series."
The University selection of speak-
ers will be handled much.as the
Mott Lectures were.
Selected by a student organiza-
tional group, Sir Sarvepalli Radha-
krishnan was to address the cam-
pus this fall. However Radhakrish-
nan, Vice-President of India and
widely known Indian philosopher,
was unable to appear here at this
time.
A student committee similar to
the one which chose Miss Jackson
and Sir Radhakrishnan will meet
to choose another possible speaker
for this school year.
Nei v Moderator

Prof. Ronald Anderson of the
School of Education will lead a dis-
cussion on the recent United States
Supreme Court decision on the seg-
regation issue at 7:30 tonight in
the International Center.
Prof. Anderson replaces Prof.

department who will be unable to
attend.

Landers N ew
Board Member

By LEE MARKS
More than one out of three
freshmen who enter college fail
to graduate, according to the Sat-
urday Evening Post.
While poor health, financial
reasons, and the draft account for
some, the overwhelming majority
simply fail, primarily because of
major adjustment problems faced
by college freshmen.
Lack of adequate high school
preparation was high on the list
of adjustment problems to be met.
In the field of English particular-
ly, said the article, students are
unprepared for the rigors of col-
lege work.
Prof. Carr Comments
Commenting on the difficulty
students have with English, Prof.
Arthur Carr of the English depart-
ment noted, "Colleges everywhere
take up where high schools leave
off. If high schools did a better job
of preparing students, we would
simply take up at a higher level.
We're always urging high schools
to raise their standards in the
field of English but even if they
did it wouldn't alter the basic
problem because we would also
raise our standards."
"Also, freshmen feel the impact
of Enlish faster and harder than
they do with other courses," said
Prof. Carr, "because they are im-
mediately hit with assignments,
conferences and themes."
Peek Not Pessimistic
Prof. George A. Peek of the po-
litical science department agreed
that one of the main difficulties
students face is writing. Peek said,
however, "I would not be quite as
pessimistic as the Post. If their
reasons for students dropping out
of school are based on chance im-
pressions, I would be inclined to
question whether there are as high
a percentage of failures as the
Post claims."

George R. Anderson, Academic
Counsellor and economics lectur-
er pointed out that colleges have
a less selective group now than in
the past because a higher percen-
tage of the population now attends
college.
"Lack of preparation in serious
reading," was named by Anderson
as the principal obstacle to be fac-
ed by students.
