The Inter-American Insti
- tute of the University did itself
proud Thursday night with a
.dinner for the South Ameri
can "summer school'visitors,
student and faculty represen
tatives, and visiting digni
taries. The University demon
strated its typical hospitality,
but this time with plenty of
extra trimmings.
Behind the scenes were
many persons who made the
affair run off so smoothly. A
formal dinner for 400 persons
offers' plenty of headaches for
the arrangers. But YMCA Sec
retary Harry Comer, who was
in charge of plans, Manager
E. F. Cooley of the dining hall
and his corps of efficient work
ers, and the University sym
phony, which supplied music
all aided by cooperation on
every side made the dinner
successful in every detail.
local Civil War
For the second time this,
school year, a campus organ
ization has found its ranks
split by internal dissension. A
large, number of members of
the International Relations
club announced their resigna
tions "to show our disapproval
of the policies." The American
Student Union chapter suf
fered a similar eruption in the
fall when around . half its
membership walked out be
cause they differed with the
national policy of the organiza
tions. IRC difficulties, however,
are purely local. The resigning
members say the group, like
IRC clubs elsewhere, should
have as its sole purpose "the
intelligent and impartial dis
cussion of the international
affairs that affect our life so
much." The dissenters from
present policy oppose the
sponsoring of visiting speak
ers and receiving the attend
ant publicity
The other viewpoint, pre
sumably, is that speakers in
the international field should
be sponsored, that the club's
major activity should be in

this direction, not in that the
dissenters desire.
If the 'principle is accepted
that the IRC should sponsor
speakers, then the officers
and policy-makers of the club
must be commended, for they
have given the campus sev
eral outstanding men this
year.
If the other view is taken,
the IRC must be condemned
for departing from its policy
of previous years, when it
undertook to interpret foreign
affairs.
.Clearly, there is a need for
an interpretive organization,
only one speaker-sponsoring
agency. By priority the Caro
lina Political Union should
perform this function, since it
has in the past and can in the
future do it well. This leaves
no place for the IRC as it now
operates. This is as it should
be. The IRC should reform
one which devotes its entire
energy in this direction. Just
as clearly, there is need for
itself, stop sponsoring speak
ers, and become again an inter
pretive organization. If it will
not do this, it should disband.
There should be no middle
ground. ,
The Right to Strike
Editors of "The March of
Time" right now are all. excit
ed and somewhat frightened.
The editors long have known
the movies are excellent for
propaganda purposes. A film
on "Labor and Defense" has
been released, and despite the
editors' claims to impartiality
on the subject, they close the
film with a speech by Gene Cox
hitting strikes in defense in
dustries. But labor leaders are com
plaining vigorously against
the tone of the film. A number
of labor groups are reported to
be ready to "blast" the film
when it appears. Labor is sure
of dirty work on the part of
the editors.
As the situation stands two
facts are most obvious: Big
Business seems organized
against the right of laborers
to strike, and second, Big
Business is out to propagah-
Art At The
(Editor's cote: Art is for every
one. More and more people in the
University are realizing this, and
their total attendance at exhibitions
will rival many an athletic contest.
Following is an article on Person
hall and its contents. The building is
old, but the activity in it belies its
age).
By John Allcott
(Head of the Department of Art)
At this moment a spirited group
of people in Chapel Hill are organ
izing the Friends of Person Hall.
For the people of this community
who would be interested, the follow
ing statement explains the work of
the University art department at
Person Hall Art gallery.
The Gallery
Most of you think of the art de-
partment as an exhibition gallery.
Here in Person hall this year we
showed to lively crowds an exhibi
tion of Old Masters loaned by the
Metropolitan Museum of Art, New
York. A National Art Week show
brought out an army of local ar
tists and their works were sold.
At Portinari, the Brazilian super
realist, eyebrows were raised. A
double show of North Carolina ar-
- chitecture and contemporary archi
tecture are first items in a program
of American art these during the
current Latin-American "summer
school." A Van Gogh show is on the
way, and he is the most popular of
all modern masters. More shows
will follow.
We have given a number of gal
lery talks. They're a problem be
cause we never know who will turn
up and with what embarrassing
questions. But we like to give them,
and will, as long as you come to
them.
School children come often in
groups to our exhibitions. , And
curator Harriet Adams would like
time (she has the requisite energy)
to take all the school children
through all the shows.
During the American program
this January and February, a
course of illustrated lectures on
The Achievement of American Art
is open to the public. The course is
given by John Allcott and the fol
lowing will give individual lec
tures: Alice Robinson, Duke univer
sity; Kaj Klitgaard, director of the ':
Durham School of Painting; Clem- '
ens Sommer; Mrs. Lyman Cotten;
William Fields, director of the
North Carolina State Art Project.
A further lecturer is Henry-Russell
Hitchcock, Jr., America's foremost
architectural critic!
Not yet generally known is the
Art Studio which is open to artists
and amateurs, and the small refer
ence library installed in the first
gallery. In the art studio are eve
ning drawing classes which anyone
may attend; as well,, the presses and
equipment of the studio are avail
able to hobby artists at other times.
The library is a place where one may
read art books and magazines, and
where one may find special refer
ence material on current exhibitions.
Another gallery activity . is the
flourishing picture rental business.
Students may rent for a nominal
charge' facsimile reproductions of
famous paintings. Some students
rent a different picture each month.
The Art School
At present 70 students are en
rolled in the department. They come
from California, New York, Indiana,
Georgia and others but mostly from
North Carolina. You may think our
job is to train professional artists.
New students turn up at our depart
ment with the scribbles they have
done on old envelopes and on backs
of window' cards. What they want is
more than instruction. They want
understanding of the scribbles they
hesitatingly show us, and encour
agement to take themselves se
riously as artists. They want to
live .in a world which will honor
their impulse to make pictures.
Sometimes their spirit has been bat
tered by common-sense advice of
well-meaning parents, and they ask '
dize its attitude. Labor has
fewer channels to express its
position, so the American
public will be hearing more
and more persistently that
workers in defense plants
should not be allowed to strike.
"Labor and Defense" will be
showing probably soon in
Chapel Hill. When Gene Cox
makes his speech, one might
remember the other side of
the affair. One might remem
ber Labor has the legalvright
under the Wagner Act to
strike. One might remember
any denial of this right will be
University
first how one can earn a living as an
artist. We can tell them of many
jobs for any hard-working person
interested in art, teaching, museum
work, advertising, industrial de
sign, painting, etc. These potential
artists are worth bothering with.
They are worth everything we have.
Carolina must want to provide a
school for them.
In addition to our studio classes
not all people know that we offer an
equally large number of courses in
the history of art. Survey" courses
and a whole body of specialized
courses in Renaissance painting,
American architecture, Gothic sculp
ture, etc. These are recommended
to any student seeking to under
stand the world. University students
working toward a liberal arts de
gree have traditionally majored in
literature, languages, history, phil
osophy, etc. But now a student may
elect the history of art as such an
academic major.
The Teaching Staff
Our department has an able staff.
Dr. Clemens Sommer is honored
among the art historians of the
world. He brings to Chapel Hill a
thorough European culture. William
Meade Prince is a distinguished
figure in American illustration.
Thousands of readers all over the
country look each week for the
stories he illustrates. Harriet Adams,
the new curator of Person hall,
trained in New York at the Brook
lyn Museum and the Museum of
Modern Art, has a flood of ideas
which cry for immediate realiza
tion. Of the young instructors, Arnold
Borden is at present on a year's
study leave. Harry Cordesman has
a "dazzling portfolio, of works exe
cuted for national advertisers. The
student instructors, Garland Peter- .
son and Edgar Thome, with his
thriving class at the high school, and
the assistants, Bob Koch and Hight
Moore, are bright and appreciative
of the work we are trying to do.
Friends of Person Hall
We are immensely pleased that
the people of North Carolina are
organizing the Friends of Person
Hall. Membership will help support
our exhibitions, and will make pos
sible better presentations. Lectufres
and previews will be staged for the
Friends of Person Hall. And through
you members 'we will be in touch
with those interested in organiz
ing our shows, and in aiding the
young artists of North Carolina. We
look forward to what the new asso
ciation will accomplish.
RICHARDS ASSERTS
(Continued from first page)
Philosophy" last Wednesday night,
Dr. Richards expressed the belief that
the "war has done England a lot of
good."
"Before the war, the chief values
were money values. Now that Eng
land is ruined, money means nothing
and freedom means everything."
"Englishmen are now fighting not
only for their existence but also for
an equal, if not greater, freedom than
they had before the war."
England's government after the
war, believes, Dr. Richards, will re
flect this present desire for freedom.
"A sort of socialism will develop. This
will not be communism at all, but a
protection of the individual from the
power of the state which will be di
rectly opposed to the philosophy of
the current totalitarian countries."
Dr. Richards also predicted that
Ernest Bevin, popular minister of la
bor, will succeed Churchill as prime
minister for the reconstruction.
The Englishman was not so posi
tive about Germany's fate after the
war. "The soul of Germany," he
claimed, "is now in her concentration
camps. We can hope that after the
war these true Germans will be re
leased to restore their nation, but we
cannot be certain." - ,
the loss of a serious part of
our freedom.
, We believe the editors - of
"The March of Time," in claim
ing to be impartial, have be
trayed in this film the integrity
they profess to have. Whether
the anti-Labor speech at the
finish was placed there inten
tionally or not is relatively un
important:, but the speech is
still there when it might be
removed. We believe labor
groups to be right when they
condemn such tactics as "The
March of Time" has adopted.

Letters To The
IRC Civil War
To the editor,
Dear Sir:
We, the undersigned, have re
signed from the International Re
lations' club. We take this action
as a form of protest; as a gesture
designed to show our disapproval
of the policies of the club, and it
is to bring this protest before the
campus that we write this letter.
It is the basis of our claim, that
the IRC has not performed its pri
mary function, that of 5 allowing,
"full,1 free, and impartial" discussion-
of international affairs, and
has instead made the presentation
of speakers (and, of course, the
consequent publicity) the -sole object
of club work. We feel that in the
past and at the present, the CPU
has adequately supplied the campus
with outstanding speakers, and that
the IRC could better devote its
energies to intelligent discussions
of international affairs.
In a hectic session last Tuesday
night, the suggestion was made by
the group that terms itself the "ad
ministration" that those who dis
approve of the club's work last
quarter resign. We are accepting
that suggestion but we still cling
to our original contention: that on
an intellectually vigorous campus
like ours, there is a definite and
necessary place for a group which
has for its sole purpose the intelli
gent and impartial discussion of the
international affairs that affect our
life so much.
So, in line with this, we not only
resign from the club, but submit the
following proposal : If the campus
feels that it needs such a group; if
the student body wants an organiza
tion that has no other function than
to give the opportunity for a forum
for student expression of ideas, it
is possible to give them one. The
undersigned agree to serve as the
nucleus of such a body, and any
