The standard IQ test does not even begin to disclose them, he said. At SC, Dr. Guilford and his associates have invented nearly 2Qp new ,tests in the past six years in a research project on the aptitudes of high-level personnel for the Office of Naval Research. These tests were given to 3,000 young men officer candidates in the armed forces. The tests were designed to disclose the part that reasoning, creative thinking, planning, evaluation ,and judgment play in the .performance of men who do intellectual types of work—scientists, technical personnel, and administrative or supervisory personnel. Important Question An important question yet to be solved is whether persons are born with the ability to do creative thinking, or whether this trait can be learned or improved in individuals through training. Although the intelligence test is one of psychology’s greatest and most socially important achievements, the profession has been too content with it, the (Continued on Page 3) PARIS, July 11—Psychologists have sold human intellect short. There Is much more be learned about it than is disclosed by the average Intelligence test. Some day it y be possible to predict man’s creative thinking ability accurately. Dr. J. P. Guilford, SC professor of psychology and a former president of the American ychological Association, made these statements today in Paris, France. He was the only American psychologist invited to present a research paper at the International Conference on Factor Analysis. Speaking in the city where Alfred Binet originated the first m m • successful intelligence test 50 - - years ago, Dr. Guilford said the if I single-score IQ test can no longer W f * be considered adequate, particu- larly for adults. ■ ' • Many Factors ^ a m /m Intelligence is a many-sided CdLlll (III thing, he said. There are at least 40, perhaps 60, and maybe even more factors concerned with in- ■Drivers Education There are several scholarships available for the basic course in Driver Education, PE 491, -2 units, in the Post-Ses-sion The scholarships are for $50 each. Tuition for the basic course is $40. Application blanks are available in Dean Cooke’s office 102 Administration Building. The driver education course will be offered in the Post-Session by Marshall R. Crawshaw from 4:15 to 6:40 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday, together with the Public Safety Course, PE 490, 2 units, from 4:15 until 6:40 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Official Notice Materials for Fall registration may be obtained in Owen’s Annex. Students returning to SC during the fall semester may register through the mail, if their materials are postmarked by August IS. If one registers by mail his permit to register and signed advisor’s card must be enclosed. Regular registration for the fall semester will start September 14. William E. Hall Assistant Registrar Indian Prof Talks At Tuesday Meet By SN Staffwriter ^ The role of India and Southeast Asia in world politics will be discussed at the Bovard General Assembly 11 a.m. Tuesday by Dr. Taraknath Das, adjunct professor of Public Affairs, NYU, who was born in India. Dr. Das lists among the factors of Indians and South- east Asian policies the expansion of Europe into Afro-Asian regions and subjugation of the populaces, frvalry among the expanding powers of the area, and a subsequent rise of nationalism. The professor will go on to tell about relations between the free Indian and Southeast Asian nations and the Western and Communist powers. Opposed to Europpeans The peopie of India and Southeast Asia are opposed to former European nations who ruled over them, former Japanese imperialism, and possible imperialistic expansion oi Commun.st China in the South, he says. “India and Southeast Asian countries are not antagonistic toward the United States, but whenever American policies have been directed to uphold western imperialism sucn as the French imperialism in Indo-China, they have shown their suspicion and opposition,” Das says. Das said any southward march by Communist China will be against the‘Vital interests of India and the nations of Southeast Asia, and will also hurt American interests. This gives the U.S., India, and Southeast Asia a common interest. Scared of Alliance “India and the countries of Southeast Asia, have so far refused to sign an alliance with the United States on the basis that such an alliance might become a cause of provocation toward Communist China, which is suspicious of the American policies,” he says. The professor further pointed out that although India and the1 countries of Southeast Asia are opposed to Communism they do not want to be lined up against Russia by military alliance. “India and Southeast Asia are vital to the American government and all free peoples. Without their aid the control of the Indian and Pacific Oceans might be shifted to the control of Soviet Russia and Communist China,” he says. Soviet Russia and Communist China’s policy is to create a solid block covering Russia, Red China, India, Burma, Malaya, Indonesia, Siam, and Indo-China, according to Professor Das. This must be prevented at all costs, he says. TROJAN CARAVAN University's Heavy Artillery' Sets Sights on Palos Verdes By SN Staffwriter Some of the University’* “heaviest artillery” will be aimed in the direction of Palos Verdes Wednesday when a Trojan Caravan, in observation of the Diamond Jubilee, moves into the small coastal community. Heading the list of Trojans to appear will be Dr. Albert S. Rau-benheimer, educational vice-president, and Dr. Bernard L. Hyink, dean of students. Dr. Rodger Swearingen, assistant professor of international relations; Dr. Herman Harvey, assistant professor of psychology and TV educator; and Dr. James H. Butler, professor of drama, will join the Caravan. This will be the eighth Caravan to leave Troy since the Diamond Jubilee year began. Others have been to San Diego, Bakersfield, Santa Barbara, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Laguna Beach. "They have created an immense amount of goodwill both among the general public and the University family, meaning the alum- ni,” said one University administrator. “It has also provided tremendous moral building among faculty invited to share the limelight,” he said. Drs. Raubenneimer, Hyink, Harvey, and Butler will be presented at a dinner for SC alumni and friends from the South Bay area at the Palos Verdes Country Club. The SC-South Bay Alumni Club will host. Dr. Hyink will speak on “Are You an Educated Person?” Dr. Harvey will discuss “Mental Health: Facts and Fancies.'' Dr. Butler will present the drama workshop’s one act comedy, ‘Three’s a Crowd.” Dr. Swearingen is slated to speak on the problems of the Far East before the Palos Verdes Rotary Club. Superintendent Tells Effects of Science Today' A greater appreciation of free will and a world crisis revival of nco-orthodoxy are part of the trends changing away from the mechanical universe, according to Monsignor Patrick J. Dignan, superintendent of Catholic Schools in the Archdiocese of Los Angeles. The Rt. Rev. Msgr. Dignan will address students and faculty at 2:15 Tuesday in 133 FH. His message, “Religion and Science- the Present Phases,” will be the third in the Religion and Education series. He wiii discuss the development of philosophy in Europe and the trend toward recognizing the human person as different from the laws of nature: This separate existence, he says, causes men to be concerned with their destiny and their tendencies toward religion. Monsignor Dignan was graduated from the American College at Louvain, Belgium in 1928. He came to America and spent two years in parochial work in Los Angeles, following which he entered the Catholic University of America at Washington, D.C., where he received his PhD. Southeast Asia Set for Forum “Political and Strategic Problems,” “ A Perspective on Indian Foreign Policy,” and “The • US Stake in Southeast Asia” will oe discussed by three experts in the field of international relations Wednesday at 2:15 in 133 FH. “The Challenge of Southeast Asia,” the third forum in the weekly series will be narrated by Dr. Ross N. Berkes, head of the School or International Relations. Wainstein First Leonard Wainstein, member of the Rand Corporation research staff, will take the first topic and discuss Southeast Asia and the cold war. Her legacy toward nationalism, her attitudes toward the Communist block in the West, and the liabilities and advantages of each will be discussed. Dr. Taraknath Das, expert on India and adjunct professor of public affairs, NYU, will speak on the perspective of Indian foreign policy. India is interested first in maintaining independence, \^ich was gained only after many years of struggle, he says. Indian independence includes political autonomy, economic independence, and cultural assertion according to prolessor Das. India Needs More “For maintaining political independence, not only does India have to defend her frontiers and develop power lequired to check any aggression from without but she also has to establish international relations which will augment Indian security," he says. From these points of view India must work for Asian independence because tier frontiers lie in Asia, he says. ■waiters, Methodis* district super- I *w* Vt ' in cpv his- I Dr> Neasham presented j u________k.irmm n„h f\^ r\___ j S-Z, 8:30 a.m. Friday, Sept. 16 j AM and EdD from Columbia.
