WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1941 PAGE TWO THE DAILY TAR HEEL National Archivist Connor Resigns To Take Post Here Craig Chair Established Returning to Carolina after hi3 resignation as head archivist of the United States, Dr. R. D. W. Connor becomes first incumbent of the Craig Chair of History and Jurisprudence just established by Burton Craig, prominent Winston-Salem lawyer and University alumnus. Acceptance of the $150,000 endow ment was announced after a meeting of the University Board of Trustees just two weeks ago. The new chair is similar to the Chair of History and Jurisprudence once held at Princeton University by Wood row Wilson. Dr. Connor, who was a member of the Carolina faculty from 1921 to 1934, resigned his position in Wash ington last month after seven years of prominent service. He left the University in '1934 when President Roosevelt appointed him the first national archivist to collect and pre serve the priceless documents im portant in the history of the United States. Graduated from this University in 1899, Dr. Connor has acquired dis tinction in the fields of history and state education. He was both or ganizer and secretary of the State Teachers assembly and the North Carolina Historical commission, Kenan professor of government and history at Carolina and head of the Univer sity's history department. For these and other services Pres ident Graham in 1936 conferred on him the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws. Craig, senior partner in the oldest law firm in North Carolina, has al ways been deeply interested in North Carolina history and is an authority on the Constitution. His book, "North Carolina in the Federal Convention of 1787," in which he claims that this state's delegation cast the most de cisive vote, is now being published. Craige has also been a member of the state assembly, is counsel for R. J. Reynolds Tobacco company, director of Wachovia Bank and Trust company, and a member of the commission which in 1937 revised the state con stitution. In 1939 he too received the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws from the University. .

Connor Lab Technology Courses Started By University Finally set in motion by the division of Natural Sciences is a plan formu lated four years ago in Medical Tech nology to prepare students for hos pitals and medical laboratories. Notable effect of the new course is that it has re'sulted in an increased number of first year women students as, cooperating with defense agencies, the University is allowing freshmean girls to register with a B. S. in lab technique in view. Adopted with special reference to Defense Training, a program will now be given involving courses in botany, chemistry, geology, physics, psychol ogy, and zoology. Students enrolled will find little change from the regu lar pre-medical schedule during the first two years. From then on, how ever, the University offers a special ized field of training. After receiving the degree of B. S. from the college of Arts and Sciences, graduates will be qualified for one year training in hospitals. The Se lective Service System will then give examinations for positions in military hospitals and medical laboratories. Originally intended for non-military purposes, the new course in medical technology is a timely addition to be curriculum of the University. En rollment is open to men and women students.

ERICSON to their dorms. "The curfew tolls the knell of part-' ing day. "The lowing herd winds slowly o'er the lea." The freshmen homeward plod their weary way And leave their work for darkness and for glee. . (Continued from first page) voices all over the country, which cried for peace in June are crying louder for an overboard aid today. And the change is pointed to in the nation's press as typical of reaction to the Allies' newly found ability to stem the Nazi tide. Imperialistic Policy of Britain Said Ericson: "I have changed my opinion because at that time there was a question of disarming ourselves of the material we produced in order to send it to Britain a Britain whose im perialistic policies are surely not the worst in the world but we did not have the chance to improve the state of things. Since that time Hitler has increased considerably the life-choking bands he has forged on Europe's masses. If he can seize Russia, not only will the heroic efforts and sacrifices of the British people come to naught, but the threat to America will become a real menace. "Today, with Russia in the lists, I believe that if and when a victory comes we shall see a vast peoples' movement in Europe -a movement of betterment in which the people of every nation will have the opportuni ty to work out their own salvation in stead of being made the guinea-pigs of ruthless dictators." Commenting on the America First Committee, he branded the organiza tion "hemispheric imperialists." "And," said Ericson, "the difference in deal ing with these men and dealing with a changed type brings us to a point where we must wonder, for in their ranks we see men of national import ance senators, representatives, pub lishers, a country's one-time hero." Is the America First Committee, through its Lindbergh-inspired anti Semitism, , and its Wheeler-inspired , movie investigation, trying to under mine the defense effort, hoping to Holland and Norway, overthrow our government? No ans wer, but a frankr statement that: "The investigation of the motion picture industry is doubtless an at tempt to prove that men have met and decided to form publie opinion on the subject of death to the Nazis. They forget that when the public likes one type of picture, no matter what type of cycle, the producers play up to those wishes it's just good box office. Pic tures have ridiculed Russia, you'll re call, and have glorified the British em pire." And the professor agreed that if it is necessary to investigate the motion picture industry for producing anti Nazi films, it is an invitation to start an investigation of every magazine that printed the story, every publisher that put it in book form, every club that endorsed it, every newspaper that praised it. From Dr. Ericson's article last sprine in the Daily Tar Heel "Mean while, the newspapers, the radio, the movies chiefly owned by large cor porations having interlocking inter ests have turned their powerful guns on public opinion to turn people against constructive social action and to stir up the war spirit. A hundred stations spew their hymns of hate to every corner of our land ..." "But I want a war on two fronts: democracy at home, and an anti-Hitler crusade abroad. American reaction aries and fascists will try to impose a home-variety of fascism on us under guise of speeding our war effort. This must not be the fight, for the "one third (underprivileged) of our nation" must go on. With it will be achieved our maximum effort to assist those op posing Hitler. I hope this does not mean war, but if it does, so be it.'
