For years. Hutchins has been declaring that "education is worse than ever.” He is expected to expand this thesis Friday to include scientific research and education.
Sigma XI Sponsor*
Hutchins' talk Is sponsored by Sigma Xi, science organization, and it will lie at 8 in FH 133.
Dr. Paul Saltman, program chairman for Sigma Xi, and assist- nfessor of biochemistry mu'	>n, said that he invited
the	-ge president to speak
"bt	.ve wanted to get som-
one win has made significant contributions to the fields of civil liberties and freedom of thought."
“In a university, the staff and faculty should be able to speculate freely on anything they choose, whether it be economics, religion, or politics," he added. He continued that Hutchins adheres to these same beliefs, and for this reason he was invited.
Government Criticized
Dr. Saltman criticized the program of government grants for research projects because a majority fif this money has certain "strings attached" whereby the recipient of the money must study what the government wants him to study.
Hutchins gained national prominence when, after he became president of the University of Chicago, he abolished compulsory class attendance and intercollegiate football. He then reorganized the entire undergraduate system.
I while broadening the education and reducing specialization in the curiculum.
Certain of his policies and ideas have been adopted by other edu-
cational institutions across the country. At the University of Chicago. however, many of his policies have been reversed since his resignation as president.
Best known reversal of Hutchins policies at the University of Chicago was the one concerning intercollegiate football. At this time, a campaign is underway to reinstate competitive football in the curriculum of the university.
As head of the Fund for the Republic, an organization which derives its funds from the Ford Foundation, Hutchins has again come into prominence because of his statements concerning the Fund's policies.
"I.eft Wing”
The Furfd for the Repuhlic has been branded as a "left-wing" organization by the American Legion, radio commentator Fulton Lewis Jr., Pro America, The Freedom Club, and other organizations. These groups object to its policies and actions which have shown it to be “soft and weak on the subject of Communism."
The Fund, which Hutchins claims ts set up to “defend the American principles enunciated in the Declaration of Independence," was recently called a "national security risk" by Seaborn P. Collins, National Commander of the American Legion.
Mlni1nl7.es Communism
Collins accused the Fund of attacking foes of Communism while minimizing the dangers of Communism.
Hutchins has denied this, but has stated that Communists also have equal rights before the courts and the people.
The ex-college president last spoke here in November when he addressed a meeting of the American Civil Liberties Union at the University Methodisf Church.

With a twinkle in his eye, Dr. Michael told of a recent study to determine if the color of the paper used for mimeographed exams has any relation to the test results.
"The color of paper does not have any correlation with th* achievement of students in respect to either success on the examination or the time required to complete it," Michael concluded.
Hook Review Kditor Dr. Michael, who has served as the director of the Testing Hu-reau since 1952, is book review editor of the quarterly journal, “FJducatlonal and Psychological Measurement." He received hit PhD at SC and served as associate professor of psychology at San Jose State College and at Princeton University.
Dr. Michael reported that a recent series of tests have been completed, analyzing the qualifications of education majors at SC.

The third area of activity is that of research. In this field the bureau attempts to determine the
mathematics,” Michael said.
"This is probably due to the deemphasis of math in high school."
Dr. Michael explained the strue* ture of examinations and suggested that professors put easier questions at the beginning of th# test to "encourage student confidence."
