the New York Giants, 13-1, today,
and move into their own, ball
yard with a 3-2 victory 1 Count
in. their, favor for 'tomorrow’s
sixth game of • the 1951 World
Series playoff. . ,
Records were ■ tied all Over the
Polo grounds as Gil McDougald,
the Yankees’ .‘great rookie in
fielder,.'propelled a home; run in
to the left field balcony 'with the
bases' loaded in the third inning
and\Joe DiMaggio celebrated his
50th appearance in a world-series
gaiAe.
Only two other batters ever
matched the feat of the 22-year
old McDougald, who only last
season was the most valuable
star in the Texas league. None
had done' it since 1936, when
Tony Lazzeri of the Yanks
helped officiate at a similar mas
sacre of the Giants in the same
park. DiMaggio’s big 50 equalled
the record set by Frankie Frisch
more than a decade ago.
Co-starring with McDougald in
the 12-hit assault was little, Phil
Rizzuto, who pushed a two-run
homer, into the close right field
stands in the fourth off Moijtia
The great shortstop
also clouted a single and scored
three times. -
Ironically-for/the" Giants, the
size of the beating they received

ton Bernstein, chairman of the
BX Board of Control, announced
yesterday.
.Students pur chasing rings
through the BX will receive a
five' percent refund at the end
of the semester, 'according- to
Bernstein. The usual 20 percent
discount, dannot be granted on
the rings because of the small

for the students and operated on
a non-profit'basis; “With the five

their rings at practically cost,”
Bernstein. said.
Cost; of the rings will vary b'e
tween-$21.75 and $26.25 depend

has been effective in changing
attitudes- but he warned that
people sometimes, pick only the
part of factual, information that
suits their own ideas. s
Physical contact, so long as it
is between groups of equal status,
has also' proved effective in over
coming prejudices, Dr. Klineberg
continued. ..
Legislation Proposed
Another method to combat dis
crimination is an attack on the
social supports of prejudice, he
said; terming such supports as
segregation that suggests -some
people are inferior to others.
- Legislation was proposed by
Dr. Klineberg as a solution to
this problem and he said he fa
vored such legislation which must
be'■coupled with' a program,of in
formation and contact if the pre
judicial attitudes of people are
to be changed..
Dr. George P. Murdock, profes
sor of anthropology at Yale Uni
versityj-told leaders of the United
Steelworkers that discrimination
is:not always a bad thing, and
.that it. .becomes, socially danger

. . * ~ , Campus Freedom
An experimental system of one way traffice north will go into

at 6 tonight. f
Walter H. Wiegand, supervisor of plant extension, announced
the experiment jn an attempt to remedy the present congestion near
McElwain aiftl Simmons Halls during the evening hours.
The one way traffic from Col
lege avenue to Pollock road will
remain in effect until 2 a.m. to
morrow. Two way traffic will he
permitted tomorrow night, how
ever, the one way experiment
will be tried again on both Fri
day and Saturday nights,
An officer of the campus patrol
will be stationed at the Pollock
road, intersection to prevent traf
fic from driving south on Short
lidge road.
Wiegand explained that the ex
periment will end at 2 a.m. Sun
day and . the present two ' way
traffic will then be resumed.
An analysis of the experiment
will be made by the physical
plant next week.
One phase of the experiment
was carried out last weekend.
Campus pajrol stationed a num
ber of patrolmen along Short
lidge road in an attempt to eli
minate the illegal parking which
is responsible for the tieups.
Captain Philip Mark, of cam
pus patrol, said yesterday that
only three violators were appre
hended, and that traffic flowed
smoothly.
Of the three, Mark said, one
student drove his car up the
sidewalk to. the side door of Sim
mons Hall and a second parked
across the entrance to the park-,
ing lot.
Wiegand also was pleased with
the reduced congestion last week
end, but explained that it was
not a true test since a large pro
portion of the student body was
off campus for the weekend.
Mark explained that it would
probably be financially impos
sible ~to continue using so large
a number of patrolmen to en
force the no parking regulations,
but that campus patrol will make
similar checks from , time to time.
