PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY-TAB IEE tronNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1941 Harris .Represents Caroliina Leadership - Imstitiite At ISS Mrs. Roosevelt Is Host to 29 Campus Leaders By Elsie Lyon Louis Harris, camp-as leader, recent ly returned from the Summer, Student Xeadership Institute held at the .Roose velt summer home in Campobello, New Brunswick, Canada, where he was im pressed by the high acclaim politica and educatoinal leaders eive to the progressive Carolina student govern .ment, .Dr. Graham, and the Carolina Political Union. "Dr. Graham is considered to be the .foremost university president in the .country, our student government, along with Antioch and Wellesly the most progressive, and the CPU. and .the Yale Political Union the foremost student .unions in the country," Harris said of .the 6pinions expressed by such leaders as Mrs. Roosevelt, Archibald Mac Xeisch, and Felix Frankfurter. Twenty-nine campus .leaders from colleges all over the country were in vited by Mrs. Roosevelt to attend the five week's session of the first insti tute sponsored by the International Student j Service. The students listened to lectures by visiting celebrities and held bull ses sions and discussions on political and economic questions of the day, as well as finding out how to be the liberal leaders of today's -young people. - On one of the big week-ends when MacLeisch, Frankfurter, James Wech sler, labor editor of PM, nd Dr. Wil liam Allen Neilson, president emeritus of Smith college, visited the institute, "eight photographers from picture mag azines and newspapers came along ;"and gave us a taste of what it's like to be a celebrity" to use Harris' own words. I "The best feature of the institute was that in addition'to the formal lec tures, we had an oportunity to sit down and Trail' with all these men," said Har ris of the institute, "and we learned so much more in this way than we ever could have by lectures alone." t ! "It was a wonderful opportunity to get to know the First Lady, for she lived, ate, and chatted with us for two Jtveeks, and we all felt that she is one FALLA, the President's pooch, seems to have lost interest in this discus sion between Louis Harris and Mrs. Roosevelt at the Student Leadership Institute at Campobello, New Brunswick. ...Louis says Mrs. FDR was merely inviting him to join her in a swim. ' about the reaction of the student lead ers to Mrs. Roosevelt. Serious discussions were only a part of the active five week's session, for Harris will enthusiastically tell you about the side trips to such points as the Quoddy NYA project at Eastport, Maine, the largest such project in the country, and the 200 pounds of fish the students caught, in one afternoon. They were also given dances by the simple, reticent fishermen residents of Camp obello Island. "The men who stood out in our con tact with them were Dr. Neilson, James Weschler, MacLeisch, Dr. Edwin Mims, professor' of social science at Sarah Lawrence college, Roger Baldwin, di rector of the American Civil Liberties Union, and Laughlin Currie, economic adviser to the President who had just returned from a special mission to China," Harris said of the many au thorities who talked with the students, "but we were frankly disappointed in Justice Frankfurter." "And although we met many leaders, people who are really running the gov ernment, we found without exception that they are all human beings with both faults and virtues," Harris said in describing his outstanding impression of the whole Session. pf the most charming and brilliant wo men in the country," Harris commented Motion picture actor Dana Andrews is a graduate of Sam Houston college.

Leaflet Published Listing Efforts Here for Defense By Carroll McGaughey In an effort to show the Univer sity's relationship to the National De fense Program, the administration of the University of North Carolina has prepared a leaflet, "Relating the Um versity to National Defense." ! Departmental heads received printed forms on which to report the work of their department which is of value to the defense effort. The forms were divided into three specific heads, and upon them was indicted the new courses in each department having special revelance to the national de fense, and courses or activities intro duced directly as the result of the a 1 war; regular courses wnicn nave special significance because of the war and national defense; and the activ ities of members of the departments related to national defense such as special research, work outside the University, and representation on committees concerned with national defense. The letter which accomplished the forms was signed by Dean of Admini stration, R. B. House, and explained the purposes of the questionnaire in part as follows: "The University is preparing a printed leaflet to show what is being done at Chapel Hill that relates the University to the National Defense Program. The leaflet will also describe changes in the curricu lum and other adjustments which represent the University's suitability as a place to go to college in the pres ent times. In order to have full in formation as a basis for this state ment and in order to keep our Ad ministrative Committee on National Defense well informed as to what is going on in the various departments, you are asked to fill out the attached form and return it to Dean Bradshaw, Chairman of the National Defense Committee. j "Although this information is need ed for a specific purpose now; namely, the publication of the leaflet, it is important that our National Defense Committee receive information as to developments of this kind continuous ly". The leaflet, which was edited by Dean Bradshaw, was' published this summer. St. Thomas Adopts 100 Best Books Plan ST. PAUL, MINN.

New Co ed 'toy enuneht tarts Boiling Friday wiu Satiate -.'Meetm! Revision of Point System, Hour Rule Reconsideration First on Calendar CrypUcFrosh Comment On Orientation In the , words of one freshman. "Orientation week is a series of recep tions sandwiched . with placement tests." Another of our new students: after resting, his chin in hisjpalm for forth with "It's helL" While the incoming freshmen are little discomfort and VAVA homesickness they are getting alon, much better than their predecessors in the old days'. Back in the Univer sitTTs historv when the Old Well wasn't "old" the freshmen really suf fered. They arrived at school with the upper classmen, were seized by the fraternity men and were hazed at every opportunity by the entire stu dent body. Now all this is changed. The fresh men have the school all to themselves for a whole week before the upper classmen arrive. A complete pro gram is prepared for them by the Stu dent Council, headed by Student Body President Truman Hobbs, in order that they may get properly orientated On the first day of Orientation Week the freshmen met their advisers who will act as their consultants for the next two years. Throughout the week placement tests were given in order that the freshmen would not get in a class that was more advanced than they could take. Also the phy sical examinations given by the in firmary were invaluable in determin ing the ' proper physical education course for the individual and to see that his health was maintained. The Receptions and the smoker given ' by the University were very helpful in getting the freshmen to feel acquainted with the campus and the people on it. During recent years the Orientation Week at Carolina has been very suc cessful, officials commented. All - the departments of the University "have cooperated fully to acquaint the fresh men with the set-up here and to as sure them of getting off to a flying start towards graduation, it was as serted. The present City College of New York was established by the state leg islature 94 years ago. The new coed student government will start rolling Friday when the Sen ate meets to organize the new training groups for junior coeds interested in holding office in the Women's Gov ernment association. Also on the slate for quick action by the Senate is a revision of the point system, which regulates the amount of extra-curricular offices a coed may and a reconsideration of hour rules, Jean Hahn, speaker of the Sen ate, said yesterday. Other branches of the new coed gov ernment have already begun function ing as the Interdormitory council pass ed special closing horus for orientation week, and the honor council considered a hold-over case last week. Senior coeds have been scurrying around the past week getting the new association, which was set up last May, in working order. And the junior coeds, who are still learning about Carolina gentlemen, will soon be asked to make this government really work. Coed government, started here in 1918, was getting a little decrepit and last May the coeds voted in a new con stitution. Instead of just one govern- mental agency, the honor council, as had existed in the past, the new consti tution split coed government into three branches, the Senate, Interdormitory, council, and honor council. The Senate, of which Jean Hahn is speaker, deals with coed elections, rules, and finances, while the Inter dormitory council, will strive to regu late and make dorm life more attrac tive and comfortable. Lib Campbell is president of the Interdorm council. The Honor Council, which is presid ed over by Mary Caldwell, president of the WGA, will, as in the past, deal with violations of the honor and cam pus codes. -.
