Thursday, July 26, 1051 THE TAR HEEL Carolina Forum Draws ,, ! mm' AT VffG. 1 "fit Wlitm elebrities To Campus Names make news. It's an old saying but the Caro lina Forum is proving it anew. It is through the efforts of this fam ous non-partisan student organi zation that such national and in ternational figures as General Omar Bradley, news analyst Ed ward R. Murrow, Senator Lev erett Saltonstall and General Mark Clark are being brought to the University campus. With little more than the name and reputation of the school at Chapel Hill to work with, Caro lina Forum President Bob Evans of Durham went to Washington, after conferences with University Pr-psident Gordon Gray and Chancellor Robert B. House, and came back with acceptances from such celebrities as these for speaking engagements at Caro lina, and he didn't offer them fees or even an honorarium by way of persuasion. "We just tell those invited that we are members of a student or ganization which doesn't have any money but we promise them a good audience ana wme puu licity on their addresses," Evans explained. Gneral Mark Clark was the first of the group that came to Chapel Hill this year on a Caro lina Forum invitation. Given the initial lead to General Clark by former Senator Frank Graham's office, the Forum presented the man who today is the Chief of the Army Field Forces in charge of all military training in the United States. The four-star General created ouite a. stir in Chapel Hill. With a famous World War II record of near legendary fame, he spoke to a packed auditorium of almost 2,000 people, and made statements that were subsequently quoted in many newspaper columns and na tional magazines. Edward R. Murrow came to Chapel Hill for a double purpose. He was to be the featured guest at the North Carolina Radio Newscasters .convention, and he was' to make a public address for the Cprolina Forum. Noted for his World War II news coverage from London and famed today for his "Hear It Now" weekly program, the cele brated commentator had people standing in the aisles and over flowing onto the stage behind him as he delivered a forceful address on American foreign pol- : icy. Senator Saltonstall came to the University late in March. Long! one of the best known and most resDected leaders in the U. S. Senate, the three-time Governor of Massachusetts was entertained at a banquet given by the Chapel Hill Junior Chamber of Com merce and spoke to a gathering in Memorial Hall. General Bradley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, closed out the Forum program for the year on a note of triumph. He came to North Carolina on the verv dav that General Douglas MacArthur, gave his famous "old soldiers never die" speech to Con gress. General Bradley was feted at a banouet in the Morehead build- inp- and the guest list included Lt. Gov. H. P. Taylor, Assistant Secretary of Defense and former Mayor of Durham Dan Edwards, members of the University Board of Trustees Executive Committee, the Advisory Budget Commission, and members of the Umrersity administration and faculty. Secretary A young lady in her late twen ties, Ardith Johnson left Colo rado in the early part of World War II to take a Civil Service post in Washington. Later she enlisted in the WAC's but had become attached enough to Wash ington to return there at the war's end. "I became Mr. Gray's secretary some four years ago," she said, "when he became assistant Secre tary of the Army. Although a native of Colorado, she admitted that the tar has already begun to cling to her heels. Once I thought I would never like any place as well as Wash ington, but that was before Chapel Hill. That's my home now," she said. Mrs. Johnson's husband is prac ticing law in Chapel Hill. GM Tourney Registration Starts Tues.
