WELCOME WTO CAROLINA . . .
Saturday midnight,, eleven South Americans
stepped from, a chartered bus into the Carolina
Inn to complete the last leg of a 4500-mile jour
ney for six weeks of "summer school" arid Amer
A ican college life at this University.
Just one year ago, 110 Latin-Americans arriv
ed in Chapel Hill for the same purpose as, the
University's Inter-American institute began its
first month and a half of hospitality for the visi
; tors from down under and added another long
needed credit to the ledger of the Good Neigh
bor Policy. ' :.
It is no disgrace to the Latin-Americans them
selves or for the institute that last year's attend
ance has been decimated. We consider it flatter
ing and remarkable that as many as eleven were
willing to undergo danger of attack from sub
marines ' and ' other lAxis vessels The fact that
they did take that .risk, tliat they have arrived ;
has particular significance. , , '
" . The United States'- Good Neighbor Policy to-'
ward Latin-America had even last January be
gun to take on concrete forms of loans from the r
RFC, military and naval delegations, and--most
important fof - all--attempts ! like the summer '
schoolto' effect sincere cultural understanding
between the peoples of the Americas.
''A month and: a half ago," America finally de
clared herself , at war .with the Axis powers, be
gan to redouble already strenuous efforts for
adequate defense against endangered democracy
and freedom. Ranking along with this nation's
alliance with Britain and Russia as one of the
mainstays of that defense and ultimate victory
is a hemispherical solidarity whose combined mil
itary and economic strength will be essential to
keeping Hitler and Nippon on their sides of the
oceans.
Loans of money,1 techniques and material for
Latin-American defense are being sent to the
.southern republics in ever increasing amounts.
Last year, .the "summer school" was entertain
ed on a scale, little short of lavish. This year, our
hospitality is just as warm and sincere, but a
University and state wholly dedicated to defense
may be unable to offer the visitors as much for
mal welcome now-as -then. .. ;. ......
What: can be done, particularly by the student'
body, to convince .the Latin-Americans that they
are even more welcome is to assume the respon
sibility pf snaking .them .feel at,home. Banquets
and speeches won't do it.. Informal conversations,
occasiorraL irrntations" to- dinner, f to basketball
games or campus entertainments will. :
' Only by . actually participating and becoming
a part of campus life can the Latin-Americans
take back to their own countries the .essential
solidarity of understanding. Only by going but of
our way to absorb' them' mtoxampus 'life can .we
expect to share that understanding. '".'" "' ..
country by sending books to the men in the ser
vice. But Miss Roberson's efforts " will accompiish
little if there is not more cooperation on the part
of students, faculty, and townspeople. - r
At this time of national emergency very sac
rifice will count. "The hoarding of useless books
or unnecessary books and the disregard of the
appeals for books mkde by men in the armed
forces represents the same sort of selfishness
which has contributed largely to the present war
and to the economic and social disorder all over
the world.
The giving up of a couple of books is a small
thing, but it represents one cooperative act at a
time when general cooperation is going to be
needed to win the war and establish a just peace.
And so the Tar;Heel asks the fraternities and
dormitory managers to appoint collection mana
gers to remind students of the Victory Book Cam
paign and to help Miss Roberson all they can in
gathering books for the soldiers, sailors and ma-,
rines, many of whom have had to leave universi
ties and technical jobs to do their part., We too
can do "our 'part by sending the books we don't
need to these men. J ' r : - ';
BOOKS NEEDED NOW . . .
The Victory. Book Campaign sponsored by the
American Library Association, the Red Cross;
- and the USO, and under the local' direction 'of
Miss Nellie Roberson' of the University Extension
Division has been going on since last Friday,
when contribution barrels 1 were placed on the
campus at strategic places. But the campaign has
not had the support which it needs from the gen
eral campus.
The faculty seems to be cooperating much' bet
ter than the students. Mr. Roland McClamroch,
of the University English department, has al
ready made a very generous donation of books;
and other members of the faculty are weeding
out their libraries to help in this drive to secure
ten million books for the soldiers, sailors, and
marines. .
Miss Roberson is planning an extensive drive
within the next few days to stimulate campus in
terest .in the campaign by sending out letters to
the fraternities and dormitories in an effort to
remind students of how they can serve their
COLLEGE 'INTELLECTUALISM'
Despite the condition of the world today, col
lege "intellectualism" continues to run rampant
in the universities, destroying all worthwhile
emotion, enthusiasm, and social spirit. It has be
come a fad to be disillusioned, pessimistic, intel
lectually snobbish, and super-critical of institu
tions and positive action on the part of those who
have left the "ivory towers." The scholar scorns
the "unlearned mass ;" the artist deprecates the
taste of the clod; the theological students revel
in the subtle intricacies of their science and for
get society and their duty t6 it. On every side
there is an affected asociality, a dangerous esot
ericism. The commerce students accuse the stu
dents of liberal arts of being impractical ; in turn
the liberal arts student accuses the commerce
students of the "profit motive." :' r:'':' ,
The definition of a liberal education has been
forgotten, and education seems to be defeating
its. purpose; for very. few, if any of our univer
sity students, - have established a goal for their
education, unless they have adopted some selfish
purpose which forgets the existence of the group.
To some extent' the war has stimulated students
to social thinking; but there is still a dangerous
solipsism which at the start emasculates all con
structive humanitarian work. . r :
: The pre-war status quo of National Solipsism
is aided -and abetted by undesigning college "in
ellectuais,, who emphasize either theory or prac
tice to the extreme; forgetting that the true man
and 'student is .'" prof icient in both. There is no
idea or institution in the world today which does
not deserve a certain amount of destructive criti
cism ;Jbut at the same time they deserve construc
tive criticism; they need to be positively acted
uponTo those who ridicule the "humanitarians"
in our midst, we say take thought, "there is
something important beyond all this' fiddle,"
something which makes students men, and ideas
practical ideals. The bitter spirit of super-critical
cynicism and selfishness will in the end destroy
itself. To find fault and close one's eyes to the
good in men, ideas, and institutions is to admit
that one has no goal, no activating purpose. The
spirit of tolerance, cooperation, and sincerity,
which is the essence of democracy can work, if
we will make it work.
Every man must discover a purpose for his
education. Having discovered a purpose, he must
then act in accordance with this purpose or ideal,
whether it means organizing laborl, doing social
work, volunteering for the army, objecting to
military conscription, teaching, or whatever. Un
til then, "intellectualism," "disillusionment,"
"pessimism," will preserve indirectly National
Solipsism, and International Solipsism, both of
which must be destroyed if we desire world peace,
the. only justification for this war.

my say...
: By Elsie Lyon
A special committee from the coed
Senate is already working on a re
vision of the junior training school.
The committee realizes that the three
meetings of last quarter did not ac
complish in practice what they were
supposed to in theory. The commit
tee is hampered, because it has been
unable to get any constructive plan
from the junior coeds themselves.
A report of the committee will be
submitted to the Senate Friday, and
final changes will be made. Since
all Senate meetings are open and the
privilege of the floor is extended to
any coed, it would be a fine oppor
tunity for the junior coeds them
selves to come and express an opinion
on the training school setup. So far
the juniors have contributed no con
crete plan for revision although they
: themselves have been &nd will be af
fected by it.
O
The coed government reorganiza
tion committee last spring worked
out a plan of training the future of
ficers of the WGA as well as creat
ing coed interest in government. The
plan has not worked.
Three meetings were held during
the fall, two of them within a week
of each other in order to be completed
before the December elections. Many
coeds had to be excused because there
were always major conflicts. Meet
ings were hurriedly organized and
poorly publicized. Some coeds came,
not because they were vitally or even
remotely interested in student gov
ernment, but because they were told
to attend. They came, did their cross
words, and caught up on their letter
writing. Even those who were trying
to learn found it hard to assimilate
the material as it was presented.
Altogether, the plan which worked so
beautifully in theory did not work in
practice.
. :'--V:
The Senate still feels the need of
informing the coeds and particularly
those who will be officers next year
about their government. Some form
of training is desirable. The com
mittee at present is considering a
test on a written copy of the con
stitution, interpretation of the honor
code and certain other traditions, and
parliamentary procedure. A dis
cussion period of the material cov
ered would take place before the
exam. .
Under this plan, however, only a
, slight percentage of the coed student
body would be reached. While it is
not desirable to force information on
someone who just isn't interested, a
certain amount of information about
their government would be beneficial
to every coed. Perhaps the informa
tion given during orientation week
could be extended. "
At any rate, here is a problem
which directly affects those coeds
vfio will be here next year. Here is
a chance for the juniors to take an
active part in their government. The
Senate will welcome their suggestions
on Friday.

Practically everyone on the cam

ing Hayden, he of the Grecian God
form, is crazy. If you saw "Bahama

missed it, here is the reason. Mr.
Hayden managed to run through an
hour and a half of film on an out
post island and didn't plant one little
kiss on the lips of luscious Madeline
flarmll. Not even -one little one.
Two students met coming out of the
opposite theatres. "Did he kiss her
at the Carolina?" r "No, well he didn't
at the Pick either. I'm going back

To the Editor:
As long as we are trying to find
ways to save time, in order to per
mit students to graduate sooneiy.
why not take time from where it is
least needed? For it is perfectly
possible for students to graduate in
three years, with as much education,
as in normal times, and that without
foregoing summer vacations. The
only obstacle is custom, which how
ever, is a serious one. But why dont
we do this give students the op
portunity to get credits toward grad
uation by letting them take exami
nations, whenever they are ready, .
on any courses they are able to
pass. Is there any reason why stu
dents should be required to spend
. time in class, wading through daily
assignments, and listening to many
things which they already know,

side study they would be prepared
to pass an examination as well as
someone who had taken the course?
, Education comes from learning and
not from serving time like a jail sen
tenced Many courses are just organized
common-sense anyway; and any
method that can cover them and save
time for other things should by all
means be followed. For we need
more time for conferences, as such
contacts can be quite as valuable
as "book-learning;" for reading
good books which may especially in
terest us; and for spending more
time on exercise and sports, since
health is at least as important as the
-scholastic side of education, especi
ally in these times. These are the
main things for which many stu-

to give them some of that additional
time needed I strongly urge that
some plan be worked out along the
