Linguists Meet
A Summer
hIstitute Here.
Over 100 Scholars
Attend Annual Session
'The Linguistic Institute, held un-
der the auspices of the Lingnuistic
Society of America, opened its an-
nual summer session here yesterday
with the attendance of over '100
scholars from all over the country."
Will Offer Graduate Courses
This Institute, a national organ-
ization of eminent men in various
foreign languages, will offer graduate
courses in American Indian, Sans-
krit, Pali, Russian, German, Spanish,
and the anatomy of vocal apparatus.
Some of the courses will be demon-
stration courses designed to show the
techniques of speed-up language
teaching.
'This summer the Institute has
changed the emphasis of its program
from the special aspects of linguistic
study to the contribution which lin-
guistics can make to the solution of
practical problems in the teaching
of language.
Fries To Open Course
A course which is expected to prove
popular not only with the students
enrolled in it for credit but with all
members of the Institute is the In-
troduction to Linguistic Science, held
on Tuesdays and Thursdays from
7 to 9 p.m. EWT (6 to 8 p.m. CWT)
in the East Lecture 'Room of the
Rackham Building. In past years this
course has been characterized by the
presence not only of the faculty
member scheduled to lecture but of
various other members of the staff,
who in the discussion period present
varying views on problems still open
to dispute. The course will be opened
today by Prof. Charles C. Fries, who
will speak on the History of Linguis-
tic Science. Prof. Fries and Prof.
Freeman Twaddell will discuss the
Function and Nature of Language
Thursday.
The Institute here is under the di-
rection of Professor Fries of the Eng-
lish department. Its offices are in
the Rackham Building.

IRA Finds Negroes
Are Denied Haircuts
By Local Barbers
No Negro can get a haircut at any
of the six uptown barbershops, ac-
cording to an Inter-Racial Associa-
tion survey conducted by Herbert
Otto, president, and Terrell Whitsit.
"This example of racial discrimi-
nation in Ann Arbor is a shameful
sign that Lincoln's work is only half
done, and while we may talk about
the poll tax and Jim Crowism in the
South, conditions in the North offer,
slight improvement," Otto declared.
Neither is the West a citadel of
non-discrimination, he declared, if
one can ,judge by the answer given
by one arber to the question,
"Does y',r shop serve Negroes?"
"I am from the West," he said. "If
we served Negroes here, customers
wouldn't come in."
"No, we don't serve Negroes, of
course. But if we did, I would get
out. I wouldn't do it," an employee at
another barber shop answered the
query.
"We have an understanding that ,
downtown shops take care of col-

circuitous way for cue barber to
state that he would refuse to serve
a Negro customer.
An answer of the same type given
by 'mother barber is, "Is there any
particular reason why I should serve
Negroes? There are barbershops for
that purpose."
"We don't serve Negroes here. But
we have had no occasion to do so
and have no rule against it," is a
milder statement made by another
uptown barber.
