C McCLURE Twilight of Education? Behind the naval reserve, the air corps, and compulsory - physical training;, the Univer- . sity is still an educational in stitution. But our education has been placed in a difficult situation. As part of an education sys- tem caught in a new national ism, it is time we stop to con sider what is happening to our system, the problems of it, the hopes for it, and where students stand. - The danger of any national ism to education is that na ' . tionalism, in exalting f the . state, is apt to subjugate edu cation, to make education a , means to serve the .nation. Are we certain ,what the aims of education are? Ideally, we hope to advance mankind. "We hope to use education, formal and informal, to ex tend the importance of man, and to send him up the road to his high dream of perfection. Germany, Italy, and Russia, from the beginning took over . ; : the schools discarded all past aims of education, and inaugu rated the idea that the educa tion system was to be used for . purposes of the state. Teachers and students were " made to realize that education was to be a means to strengthen and deify the nation. In this country we are fac ing the rise of a new spirit, a spirit which can produce much good by bulwarking de mocracy. The hope of the new patriotism is that it will give us, in our defense of freedom, -a richer conception of democ racy, and a rejuvenation of the dream of mankind ap proaching dignity and nobility. This same national feeling can produce bigotry, even fascism. The duty of the edu cators and students is to pro tect the rights of education, to make education a means to aid all men not to exalt a few men for a short while. And informal education through magazines, news papers, the radio has the same obligation had by formal education. Each medium used to spread ideas to the Ameri ; can people rather than ' sub ? mittirig M domination from . , - the state, must remain free to criticize what are believed to : be failings of the nation; and r also must be mediums free to take a part in mankind's ma turing. . ,- .'. , . " Our patriotism is ap- :r preaching a peak of unprece dented intensity. We . have made nationally such startling moves as peacetime conscrip tion, have spent many bil .lions for defense, and are being asked for "not only physical but spiritual rearmament." We are on the verge, apparently, of electing a president for a third term. Our nationalism today is dazzling with its speed and scope of move ment. 'The home of democracy," goes an old saying, "is the school.", As students we must see that the education system is kept free, is permitted to pursue its aims. We must keep education as a right of demo cratic people. vV American edu cation has shown, while gen ' erally free from state pressure, that democracy is desirable. Education, showing this fact incidentally, may continue that function. ' . An illustration of the gov ernment's move on education may be' seen on. this campus. A number of professors are now engaged in "research work pertaining to national defense. We admit that the research work is absolutely necessary, especially in , view . of the new difficulties facing America. Yet there is an apparent danger: more and more re search work may become necessary, with education being subordinated. This first government move on educa tion may, as it did in the totali tarian states, develop until education becomes solely a tool of the nation. Nationalism should impose no restrictions on the education of its de fenders. At the furious rate our, na tional pulse is mounting, we, as students and potential leaders, have a tremendous task, that of imposing sanity on a largely insane world. As leaders we must defend the merits of democracy, and cor rect its defects. If education, leads to a better understand ing of democracy, and a hope", for mankind in general, we must keep, the education sys-' tem alert and free to perform . its function. S. R.

They aren't taking any "great" steps these days. Rather, , it's be- coming too dan- . gerously clear as the weeks , roll by that the whole American bandwagon is quietly but firmly lined up in the other direction. x , In America a democratic system has been able to flourish easily. In the beginning there was a bounti ful continent to settle, a land ripe and swollen with great riches. There were a million fortunes to be dug , and plowed and wrought out of the earth. Because opportunity was un limited, there was no need to cen sor anybody. If a fellow in New York didn't like the local setup, he simply pulled up stakes and trotted out west till he found what he want ed. Everybody prospered. With un limited resources a civilization , on the upgrade lost no time in boom ing. Democracy worked splendidly because it didn't step on anybody's toes. But apparently that period of un mitigated freedom is just about reaching the end of its rope in America. The time's approaching when circumstances are bringing about some forcible 'stepping on toes, and if it isn't done with plenty of common sense, then this whole structure of freedom as we know it is in danger of toppling over. Americans are going to resent this stepping on toes because they've been soaked in the sugary half of freedom too long. The benefits have been flowing in so Tegularly that to most people there's nothing except benefits. In the past, real tests haven't caused much trouble - be- cause all this luxury and opportun ity have kept them from making much difference. But, brother, those real tests are roaring up in Ahe breeze. Pretty soon they'll come crashing down from left and right, and unless before that time there's plenty of education and change of heart and perhaps, of human nature, it's pretty apparent that Americans aren't going to stand up under those tests. ' - - : ": ' Straws have been floating around in the wind. Take David Clark for instance. Even in August he was still engaged in his crusade against Frank Graham and freedom at the University. In addition he was using the same old arguments the Char lotte . News' Tim Pridgen so ably refuted last spring. The fact that Frank Graham is standing up for the same policy at the University that gives David Clark the right to voice his opinion in the state doesn't seem to mean much. Clark doesn't look at it that way. v Those police officers down in Greenville, N. C, apparently couldn't see that making 1 arrests without grounds for-arrest had anything to do with their democracy. The fact that such a policy is a fundamental cornerstone of Nazism in Germany seemed completely unrelated to their Inconsistency in Law It cost four University stu dents $2 each to ride bicycles on the sidewalks of Chapel Hill. They were hailed into court yesterday before Judge Andrew C. Mcintosh and as sessed that amount in court costs for violating the local ordinance against sidewalk bicycle-riding. There is no reason for com plaint against these violators being required to obey the laws of the town. As students, they become members of the community; thus they as sume the duties and restric tions that accompany citizen ship. But there is justification for complaining against certain members of the community being arrested for violating tlie laws while others, equally guilty, go free. Why it is, we wonder, that students of the University four of them yes terday, two last week are brought into court r while Chapel Hill youngsters, equal ly guilty though perhaps un able to pay, go scot-free.

But the agony, which attended the seem ingly short week is not all forgot ten, nor have all the disappoint ments been smoothed over. Those who have pledg- ed are, we hope, very happy. . Those who pledge the new girls are happy, but somehow they cannot forget I those whom they j so casually drop- ped just because nobody knew her especially well, or tried to know her especially welL Those who were invited once and not invited back. Those who cannot join because of financial reasons. Those who must . feel, if even for a short time, that they are not of the "chosen" lot. There are advantages of the sys tem, of course. People have al ways banded together for social, if not humanitarian, reasons. But J - - I ; there is enough of the useless cial" whirl, enough of college tivities, enough of people, who z though we do not want to get av7 with, we should. The system causes more than it is worth, as a rhole. Cc ditions on the Carolina caaiD& are not as. extreme as on some er campuses. But some kind substitution or new plan, if nesl sary, might work with less cf th& grindings which occur at presest. Although the campus at Smith cannot be compared with our ov the set-up there is rather desijl able. The houses which the women live in are smaller than a regular size dormitory, and are made up Cf a group arbitrarily chosen. The girls who live there must get along with everyone in the house, not just a few of the so-called "desirables. They stay in , the same houses for all of their college careers, ani from the way the system works and the happiness of the students there, it seems to be a very gooj idea. This Collegiate World . (By Associated Collegiate Press) Fishing, to Alice McGrain, art student at Miami university, is duck soup. Vacationing in Indiana, she action in a democratic American vil lage. Those eggs and tomatoes follow ing Wendell Willkie all over the na tion show pretty clearly how much . Americans are thinking about the question of freedom. Jn this case the conception of freedom goes only far r enough to justify the right to throw, eggs and tomatoes. In other words, most people value freedom merely because it gives them the right to do as they please. : Now, that's the kind of luxurious freedom we Americans have been rolling in so long. We grant you it has worked pretty well because the real tests were few and far be tween, but watch out! Things are closing in now. Forces are abroad in the world that threaten to make us do a little sacrificing, a little tightening of the belt. When these ,. forces begin to strike home, then watch the concepts of freedom and democracy go flying to the four winds. In attempting to keep the traditional luxurious "democracy (and we certainly will attempt' to do that), Americans are in danger l 'Of losing every vestige of the; real democracy.

Abruptly, a 13-inch bass leaped out of the water and landed with s. thud in the bottom of the boat.

As they rowed to the spot, : Miss McGrain said, "It was right here." The words hardly had been spokec when another bass of almost the same size leaped into the boat. The coed again used the slipper technique. "Now maybe you'll be lieve me," she observed.
