Phillips Announces Features
Of Two Summer Session Terms
Women Students
WiD Be Admitted
To All Classes
The program for the summer session
at the University is rapidly being com
pleted, and the major features were
announced yesterday by Secretary Guy
B. Phillips.
The first term will run from June
13 to July 20 and the second from July
22 to August 28. Dr. Robert B. House,
dean of administration, will again be
director.
One -of .the major changes in this
year's summer session will be the ad
mittance -of all women students, not
only for special courses, teacher train
ing and regular make-up summer
work, but for courses in the general
college, regardless of whether they
have ever attended college. ' Thus girls
who have just, graduated from high
school can enroll here for freshman
work during the summer.
TEACHER-LIBRARIAN COURSE
Among the special features this sum
mer will be a 12-week course for teach
er-librarians to meet the present state
requirements for all standard schools
to have trained part-time or full-time
librarians, depending upon the size of
the school.
The department of education and
the department of rural education
of the North Carolina education asso
ciation will sponsor a rural workshop
which will bring rural principals and
teachers from 30 schools to develop
actual classroom and school programs
for the school year 1940-41.
For the first time in a number of
years a full program of elementary ed
ucation beginning with the primary
grades will be offered. Nationally
known specialists in this field who will
teach 'here include Dr. Roseamonde
Porter of Temple university; Mrs.
Mary Leath Stewart of the Woman's
college; Dr. James S. Tippett, author
and authority on elementary educa
tion;" anT Mrs! Fred'McCall,' talented
musician of Chapel Hill, who has had
much success in teaching music to
'children of kindergarten age.
Special work for school administra
tors who are studying towards ad
vanced degrees is planned. School
principals will soon have to have M.A.
degrees and appropriate courses have
been designed to this end. A large
number of administrators comprised
this group last summer, -and an even
larger enrollment is expected this year.
OBSERVATION SCHOOL
Another unusual feature will be an
observation school to be conducted by
Dr. Tippett. Three groups of child
ren under capable teachers will be ob
served.
Dr. Harrv A. Jaeer. chief of the
occupational, information and gui
dance service of the United States de
partment of education, and Dr. G. M.
Ruch, formerly professor of educa
tional psychology in the University of
California and now research specialist
in the United States department of
education will direct a program of ed
ucational and vocational guidance.
HOUSING
What is expected to be a big im
provement in housing summer session
students will be the use of the three
new women's dormitories during the
first term. Also, plans are being made
to designate certain dormitories for
graduate women only and others for
undergraduates

DI HOLDS FORMAL
INAUGURATION
OF NEW OFFICERS
Bonner Inducted
Into Presidency
Of Organization V
In a simple, formal ceremonyvthe
officers of the Di senate for the spring
quarter were inaugurated into their
new offices last night in the assembly
room of the senate in New West.
John Bonner, of Washington, presi
dent of the YMCA here on the campus,
was . inducted into the presidency -of
the Di. He replaced John Busby who
served throughout the winter. '
Bonner made a short speech after
he took over the chair, outlining his
policies for the coming, quarter. 1 He
pledged himself to continue the work
of the Di in its present "progressive"
trend. After impressing upon ) the
members of the senate the changes
modern thought has wrought on! the
meaning of the term "Dialectic," Con
ner went on to ask of the senators
that they try to emphasize the prac
tical importance of any bills which
might come up on the senate floSr in
the future and to minimize their mo
tional attitudes toward the measures.
COED REELECTED
Mary Lewis, coed from Montclair,
N. J., took over the office of president
pro-tem of the senate, having held the
same position during the winter quar
ter. She is the first woman to be re
elected to an office in the senate and
one of the very few senators in the
history of the Di to be reinstated. .
The office of clerk in the senate was
taken by Louis Poisson, of Wilming
ton. Elbert Hutton, of Hampton, Va
was installed as critic and Manfred

ASU CONDUCTING
ANTI-WAR DRIVE
Union To Raise
Funds For Peace
In cooperation with American Stu
dent union chapters all over the coun
try, the local ASU has begun a cam
paign to fill its quota in the $10,000
Anti-War Chest drive. Harry Lasker
is directing all activities immediately
connected with the campaign.
The week's activities began with
speech in -freshman chapel Monday by
Lee Wiggins in which the purpose o:
he drive for funds was explained. A
portion of the funds remain on the
campus to ie used in financing speak
ers, printing and distribution of spe
cial peace literature, and general state
wide publicity. The rest of the money
collected is' distributed to the North
Carolina district organization and the
national organization of the ASU.
1TmpTFn CAMPAIGN
The district and national organiza
tion serve as a means of coordina
ting and centralizing activity so that
the action will be effective. ASU
leaders point out that peace action can
only be effective if all the various
pressure groups in favor of peace are
united in one powerful group going in
a single direction.
Separate sub-committees, whose sole
function is the collection of contribu
tions, have been set up to contact stu
dents, faculty, and townspeople. Post
ers have already been distributed to
dormitories and various centers on the
campus. The leaders of the campaign
expect a good response, and have
stressed continually the point that,
whereas during the last war Ameri
cans were asked to buy war bonds, to
day the ASU is asking everybody to
invest in peace.
Contributions can be given directly
to Harry Lasker and Frank Holzman
or they can be brought to the office of
the American Student Union on the
second floor of Graham Memorial.

Youth Congress Takes
Editorial Scolding
From College Papers
(By ACP)
Another of the nation's liberal youth
organizations, the American Youth
Congress, has fallen into disrepute
among the collegiate editorial writers.
Meeting in Washington for a Citizen
ship Institute, the congress committeed
acts that1 most collegiate writers be
lieve were ill-considered, and which
most believe call for a wholesale move
ment tof non-recognition of the . AYC
as the representative of the youth of
the country.
Although most editorialists defend
the right of AYC members to refuse to
condemn the aggression of Soviet Rus
sia in Finland, a like number condemn
the Congress for not doing so. The Ohio
State University Lantern neatly sum
marizes this view: "It won't matter
100 years from now, but the Congress
did stamp itself with a weak and sus
picious liberalism and flagrant disre
gard of civil liberties which its mem-1
bers advocate so strongly. The Ameri
can, Youth. Congress, like the American
Student Union, did a marvelous job o:
condemning itself in the eyes of the pub
lie."
The University of Nebraska Daily
Nebraskan said on this point: "If a
kind of pink leftism ever was consider
ed smart among young people, in view
of world developments it certainly no
longer is and the sooner this partic
ular representative of youth realizes
that, the sooner they may accomplish
