Dr. Edwin Mims
Mims Stresses
Educational
Need in War
Former Professor
Speaks to Students
By Walter Klein
War-time America must keep its
educational facilities running, accord
ing to Dr. Edwin Mims, internationally
famous educator, who addressed sum
mer students in Graham Memorial
Tuesday night.
"If we must be the arsenal of democ
racy, then we must retain our citadels
of learning," Dr. Mims asserted. "We
must prepare men and women for any
emergency if and when the war is
won."
With his topic as "Humanities and
the Present War," the former Caro
lina English professor pointed out that
vocational and scientific training must
be reinforced by knowledge of the hu
manities. "Whatever the subjects, old
or new, education ought to lead to
well-trained minds capable of hard,
systematic work.
"But the world of the. old, classical,
'stamp of thcages' curriculum is dead,
and we might as well realize it," the
scholar said.
Seventy-year-old Dr. Mims attacked
professors who gained popularity by
teaching over-simple courses as "de-
basers of educational integrity. . .
And the thought of 15 to 20-year-olds
following the line of least resistance
sins against the conception of hard
work. . . . Progressive education vio
lates the laws of human nature."
Dr. Mims criticized several phases of
American education. "This country's
educators have adopted a pol jcy of cyni
cism and pessimism which they have
turned over to their students, injuring
their sense of values." According to
Dr. Mims, mass education, "trans
forming students into cogs in a wheel,"
kills inspiration before it can develop.
"The humanities play an important
part even in scientific training," Dr.
Mims said. He cited a recent trend in
engineering education in which versi
fication in liberal arts the humanities
is being stressed.
Self -Service Market

At the same time, Perry said, all

The new Reserve Corps has been for
mulated for the voluntary enlistment

those demanded for the various Air
Corps Reserves.
The University's quota in this new
Corps has been set at 722 students,
distributed over the four classes. Perry
emphasized that a student's first action
must be to register with hi3 office in
207 South Building. This is neces

Cooperative Plan
Adopted by Frats
For Coal Buying
Announcement yesterday revealed
that a plan for the cooperative buying
of coal has been formulated by several
fraternities and will be known as the
Carolina Coal Cooperative.
Headed by Ernie Frankel, this group
has been formed to enable fraternities
to buy coal from wholesalers at a dis
tinct saving and also to guarantee
regular deliveries during the winter.
Approved by the OPA, the coopera
tive will not require any advance de
posits, the coal merely having to be
paid for the day prior to desired de
livery.
The advantages of this cooperative
will also be open to use by any or
ganized group on the campus and is
not limited to fraternities.
The Coal Cooperative was described
by Frankel as "a beginning for co
operative buying that will be used as a
test and if successful will mean that
it will be extended to almost all prod
ucts necessary for the maintenance of
fraternity and other group houses."

Sound and Fury Presents
Minstrel Show Tonight
Sound and Fury, in its first summer
school production, will present a black
faced minstrel, "Are You from Dixie?",
tonight and Saturday at 8:30 in Me
morial hall. The minstrel is being
staged in cooperation with the student
activities office.
All students will be admitted free
Friday night to the hour and a half
show which will be presented according
to the true Mississippi showboat min
strel tradition. Saturday's perform
ance will be open to all Navy men who
wish to attend.
In announcing the content of the
show, Ben Hall, Sound and Fury pre
sident, stated that "the jokes used in
the minstrel were dug up on an archae
ology field trip. They were found in
an oaken casque beneath the hallowed
limbs of Davie poplar and are at least
thirty years old, old enough not to con
flict with the current gags used by
radio comedians."
The first act of the minstrel will
consist of a chorus and six endmen
presided over by inferlocujtor, Art
Golby. The endmen are Joe "Leroy
Leslie, Tiny "Hambone" Hutton, Ben
"Eight-ball" Hall, Pokey "Mush
mouth" Alexander, Alain "Lafayette
Bones" Singer, and "Worthington
Rastus" Dube.
The second act, a parody on the
"Shooting of Dan McGrew" by ballad
master Robert W. Service, stars Aldert
Root who will play boogie-woogie on
a specially constructed piano made to
produce tones like the barroom harpsi
chord of pre-prohibition days.
Rhythmic climax of the parody is
the sultry tap dance performed by Lib-
bie Izen and Freddie Calligan and the
jitterbugging gyrated by "Shot" Cox
and Margaret Norman.

campus Greek houses was drawn up
late in the spring quarter and approved
by all houses. The agreement provided
no rushing of new students during the
summer r ' Asserted violations by sev
eral fraternities of the agreement
forced the council to place definite
rules on the blanket agreement, it was
asserted.
The new rules to be enforced dur
ing the summer quarter are :
1) Freshmen can not leave the city
of Chapel Hill with fraternity men
for any purpose without the permis
sion of the Interfraternity council, nor
can they ride in automobiles with fra
ternity men whether riding in or out of
the city limits.
2) No fraternity man can spend
any money on freshmen.
3) Fraternity men and freshmen
can not eat or drink together or sit at
the same table in any public place or
any private home.
4) No pre-arranged dates can be
made between freshmen and fraternity
men.
5) The rules do not apply to
brothers so long as no other freshmen
or fraternity men are present.
6) Fraternities violating these rules
will be subject to a fine to be placed
by the interfraternity council mini
mum fine to be $25.
7) No freshman may visit the
grounds or house of any fraternity.
Freshmen and fraternity men have
been asked to report any violations to
members of the Interfraternity council.
The University Administration is
considering plans that would convert
the basement of Lenoir Dining hall in
to a separate and distinct cafeteria
luncheonette combination, in an effort
to ease the growing strain on Univer
sity eating establishments, it was
learned yesterday from an authori
tative source.
Though still in the blue-print stage,
it was announced that if the ultimate
plans are adopted, the new basement
cafeteria with separate kitchen
would be more attractive than the pres
ent hall.
It is roughly estimated that a base
ment cafeteria-luncheonette could ac
commodate 500 persons at one sitting.
With enlarged facilities at the Caro-

lina Inn, Spencer dorm, and the pres
ent establishment at Graham Memor
ial, the student eating problems would
be considerably minimized.
The Administration's action in con
sidering the use of Lenoir Dining hall's
basement was taken after Graham Me
morial's student board of directors con
sidered and turned down an offer to
establish a cafeteria in place of the
present grill. Graham Memorial's re
fusal was based on the enlarged de
mand for recreational facilities that
will arise next fall, and a belief that
full use of these facilities could not
be utilized if the eating plant were en
larged beyond proportion.
No estimates on the expense of the

High School Study Courses
Given by Campus Radio Studio
The University radio studio, evac
uated from Caldwell hall when the
Navy took over in the spring, is con
tinuing its work in Memorial hall.
No broadcasts, such as the "Men In
Action" series, Prof. Earl Wynn and
the Playmakers produced last winter
are traveling over the coast-to-coast
Mutual network as they did then. But
Frank Brink, production manager of
the studio, is working with 35 high
school students studying radio in the
first session of the summer school.
Brink, long remembered for his
splendid work as a radio and stage ac
tor last year when he played leads in
the Playmaker productions of "The
Male Animal," "Abe Lincoln in Hli
nois," "Jim Crow"" and other shows,
took the equipment, moved out of Cald
well and set it up in a dressing room
and on the stage of Memorial hall.
In this new location, he is now in
structing" the high school students,
many of whom- are from? New York,
Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee, as
well as North Carolina, in classes in
radio playwriting and production.
The students attending these courses,
sponsored by the University Exten
sion Division, receive credits toward
graduation in their own high school
English and dramatic arts depart
ments. As proof of the rapid progress made
by these young people, he announces
that two of the best scripts written by
the group will be produced by the stu
dents at an early date, probably within
the next week and a half.
He plans to serve as director and
faculty adviser for" the productions,
but using a student as assistant direc
tor, and allowing other members of
the radio production class complete
charge as actors, controlmen, and
sound effects operators.
This performance of dramatic radio
plays will be given on the stage of
Memorial Hall, and the public will be
invited to- attend.
