    Colors, geometric forms, art, and mathematics
    (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 1967-10-01) Hillman, Thomas P.
    With the rising popularity of “pop” art, “op” art. and stunning geometric designs in femi nine fashions, the author is reminded how easily art and mathematics can be closely related, especially in the upper elementa ry school or junior high school classrooms. For students who have been convinced that mathematics is always associated with calculations or manipulations (or even hallucinations!), the following suggestions can arouse new interest in mathematics—and perhaps reestablish vigorous efforts when regular mathematical topics are pursued again. These lessons arc introductory art lessons that have ma thematical overtones, and it is im portant that the student not become too burdened with the mathematical ideas at the expense of losing interest in art. The concepts in both subject areas are simple and basic. and each student is given an opportunity to discover relationships for himself—in art as well as in mathematics.

    Nigerian Graduate Students in the United States
    (Taylor & Francis, 1969) Ohuche, R. Ogbonna
    This study was written to test the null hypothesis that, among Nigerian graduate students enrolled in institutions of higher education in the United States, there was no difference between the academic achievement of those who received their baccalaureate degree in the United States and those who earned their first degree elsewhere. A sample of the 456 Nigerian graduate students was contacted through a questionnaire. Sixty-five of the ninety-two students in the sample returned a properly completed questionnaire on their academic performance here and at home. A covariance study revealed no evidence on which to reject the null hypothesis. It was concluded that, for economic reasons, Nigeria should discontinue its policy of awarding scholarships for undergraduate study in the United States except for curricula not available in Nigerian universities.
