Economic developments in Japan will remain the central subject, but the later period will be more fully treated and considerable attention will be given to Japanese social, religious, and po litical institutions.

High School Group Quizzed Thirteen Admitted Under New System Eighteen high school students ar rived h,ere yesterday to take exami nations leading to admittance to the University. Late' yesterday 13 had passed and were on their way to be coming regular college students. Of the remaining five, four were still working and one had decided to go back to prep school. Others who ap plied are expected in .the next few days. Dean Bradshaw remarked that it was encouraging to note that over half of the applicants ranked with the top ten per cent of high school graduates while three-'f ourths ranked with the top 25 per cent. North Carolina is the first state university to launch this plan of en abling students to graduate from col- ege before they become 20. No Lower Standards , j The administration feels that ad mitting these students will not lower the standards of the University. Dean Bradshaw points out that the Univer sity is merely changing from its for mer plan of admitting students only after four years of high school to one of admitting students after, they have completed the work necessary to suc ceed in college. "If they accept the twelve months plan," Bradshaw said, "these students can complete work for their degrees in December, 1944." In addition to the present class, an other may be admitted in February when the high school semesters are over, and certainly another in June. Eleven applicants were from North Carolina: Tryon, Raleigh, Hamlet, two from Durham, Asheville, Kinston, Troy, Greensboro, Charlotte and Chap el Hill. Five were from out of state: Birmingham, ; Alabama; Greenville, Alabama; New Jersey; Camden, South Carolina; and Norfolk, Virginia.

Plans Made To Welcome Latins Here War Crisis Fails To Prevent Opening Of 'Summer School' Plans for the purposed "friendly in vasion" of Chapel Hill by more than 60 South Americans have been drastic ally curtailed by recent developments in our foreign situation acording to J. C. Lyons, general-secetary of the Inter-American Institute of Carolina, ' r ollowmg weeks or nectic corres pondence with State Department of ficials, consulates, steamship repre sentatives, and various other depart mental heads, final arrangements call for the welcoming of '13 Latin Ameri cans instead of the original pre-war body of 60. Despite the fact that a state of war occurs in the South American republics which necessitated steamship regula tion by government oficials and the dangerpf ocean travel these 13 "South ern neighbors" have already set sail for New York City, where they will be met by representatives of the Inter American Institute. Upon their arrival they will be con ducted on a tour of the city and then board a train for the University. They are due here January 17 when they will begin the second "summer school" session. The group, composed of three Chil eans, six Peruvians, two Brazilians, and two Bolivians will be offered a full six-weeks course by the University.

Although the government has ap proximately a year's supply of crude rubber on hand. OPM officials are taking no chances of possible failure in "keeping them rolling" in the Pa cific Islands. 1 Students Work, S. P. Thatcher, manager of the United States Rubber company's tire engineering and service department, advances the following suggestions whereby college students can do their part in the home defense setup. 1. Keep your tires inflated proper ly as five pounds of under-inflation reduces tire life by as much as 20 per cent. 2. Switch tires every 4,000 miles. 3. The life of a tire driven at 50 miles per hour is only half as much as one driven at 30 miles per hour. 4. Bumping, curbs, fast stopping, speeding on curves, and unclean gar age floors all aid in shortening the life of tires. s V Terry Sanford Sanford Joins FBI Service Legislature Head Leaves University War time emergency measures and the FBI reached deep into the Carolina campus during Christmas holidays de priving UNC's student legislature of its quiet, soft-spoken chairman, Terry Sanford. Announcements released yesterday revealed that Sanford had been called up for service by the Federal Bureau of Investigation elevating Jick Garland to the position of speaker pro-tem. Sanford, though three months short of an LLB degreee, normally required by the FBI, was called up by the Wash ington office, on the basis of outstand ing work, and training received during the last year under Professor Albert Coates at the Institute of Government. New Election Meeting in special session tomorrow night at 8 o'clock, the student legisla ture will elect a new speaker to suc ceed Sanford, Garland stated. During Sanford's three month reign over the speakership, the legislature passed campus organization budgets, established a new Safety Council, with increased power to enforce rulings, and eliminated keys paid for out of student fees. . Last spring Sanford was one of those chiefly responsible for drawing up and drafting the sweeping Student Fees Bill that would have placed near ly $80,000 directly under student con trol. During the fall quarter he worked oyer modifications of the bill, pre paring it for early installing next spring. During his career at Carolina, San ford was a member of the Interdorm council, the CPU, Golden Fleece, and last year - he served as chairman of the Ways and Means committee of the legislature. . Shock Troops Surrealism Will Top Nazis Says Thomas, IINC Artist "Surrealism will arise above Hitler- ism," That's what Neal Thomas, fore most exponent of surrealism on the campus, was saying. Seated in his own studio over in Caldwell hall, he cheerfully destroyed many popular ideas about surrealism. The main obstacle to understanding surrealistic art, he says, is the "shock" of it. Once' you get over the surprise of seeing unrelated objects or new de signs put together on the same canvas, you begin to ask yourself why these things were put together. He says that Hitlerisni might be described as the shock and surrealism the thing that rises above and beyond it. I was relieved to hear that not all surrealistic designs must necessarily have a meaning behind them. In fact this looking for a meaning is one of the obstacles to appreciating a surrealistic paint jng. And not all pictures where there are odd associations such as a watch floating around in the pupil of an eye surrealism. It is as hard to draw the line here as between realism and naturalism. I was also relieved to See SURREALISM, page New Courses Will Begin ' This Week Totten and Raborg Fill New Executive Military Offices The swiftly-moving Carolina De fense Program, operating in conjunc tion with plans and suggestions orig inating in Washington, will plunge in to the winter quarter with full-time military training under the direction of Carolina Volunteer Training Corps officers, Dr. H. R. Totten, executive head, announced yesterday. "The CVTC has been organized to aid the country's military program by giving as many students as possible some military training and with par ticular stress upon training those stu dents who are of potential officer cal ibre," Dr. Totten stated. "It is felt that any military training will en able students to obtain better posi tions in the armed forces when they are taken under the selective service regulations," he added. ' Drill and. Science Classes Both drill and military science courses are offered to all, and "any number of applicants can be accom modated." .,;,, At present seven sections of the military science classes are open, and, if these are filled, "new classes may be scheduled by drawing on the wait ing list of volunteer faculty members," it was announced. 5 - Four sections of advanced military science are open to applicants who qualify.

When asked about the rumor that we would not have spring vacation this year, he said that it was nat ural for the question to come into the minds of the students, hut noth ing has been said to him about it. . mmmm mimm HARRY L.
