Report Card

P: In Marlboro, Mass., faculty and students of Marlboro High School chose 18-year-old Ilse Naujoks, third-ranking student in her class, for a good-citizenship award given annually by the Daughters of the American Revolution, got turned down flatly by the Daughters. Reason: Ilse, daughter of German refugee parents, has never been naturalized. With unsinkable illogic, National D.A.R. President General Mrs. Frederic A. Groves explained the ban: "It is natural to assume that a good-citizenship award in a high school in the U.S. would go to a citizen of this country."

P: Deciding that it was "high time to stop subsidizing student wheels," President Chester Maxey of Walla Walla's Whitman College (841 students, some 300 autos) issued an ultimatum: no more financial grants for students who keep cars on campus.

P: Two debaters from Mercer University, Macon, Ga. last week began a six-month invasion of northern colleges and universities to defend the proposition: Resolved, That racial segregation in the South should be maintained. Seniors Beverley Bates and L. Martelle Layfield faced debaters from Princeton's American Whig-Cliosophic Society, the U.S.'s oldest collegiate debating group, amiably insisted beforehand that they were not making the tour as "Confederate knights in shining armor," but as private citizens interested in finding "a free arena of discussion where reasonable people can achieve better understanding." Seemingly at odds with the proposition they were supporting in the no-decision debate, their goal was: a gradual approach to integration, with sufficient time for Southern moderates to "communicate with our people." Said Layfield, before the Mercer team packed up its arguments and headed for Pennsylvania's Lincoln University, its next stop: "We were born and raised in the South, and we have been able to see the fallacy in segregation."
