between his government and the
Soviet Union.
Generalissimo Stalin and his

No Reasons Given
For Not Showing

mittee heads, who were invited
to give their views regarding the
current lifeless student enter
tainment program, failed to ap
pear before the Phi Assembly
Tuesday night. Dr. J. Penrose
Harland and Allan Pannill, stu
dent entertainment committee
heads, were to have spoken for
the SEC. Dr. Harland, accord
ing to Speaker A. B. Smith, in
formed him prior to the meeting
that he would be unable to at
tend but expressed confidence
that he could secure other mem
bers of the SEC to take part in
the Tuesday night debate. How
ever, neither Pannill, nor any of
the other members, attended the
meeting. No statement was;
available last night' as to the
reasons for this action.
On several previous occasions
the Phi had agreed unanimously
that constructive action should
be taken by the Assembly to ob
tain first class student entertain
ment. The reasons for inviting
Dr. Harland and Mr. Pannill
were, according to one speaker
Tuesday night, to find out why
the University is having third
rate entertainment. In heated
tones, Roy Thompson told the
Assembly, "We are at present
paying in over $4,000 a quarter
to the student entertainment
fund. By next year the total will
run into well above $5,000 a
quarter, $20,000 a year. Some
straight forward answers are
needed from the Student Enter
tainment Committee with regard
to how that money is being spent.
It looks as if we could have good
concerts and symphonies, and
name singers here for that
amount. Yet, tonight the SEC

Stately Trees on Cameron Avenue Planted
At Request of Wealthy University Alumnus
By Frances Walker
When walking through the
University campus up Cameron
avenue from New East to South
building and on by Memorial
Hall, a visitor will notice that
the maple trees are in bloom.
These stately trees, which offer
deep shade in summer and
orange flame in the fall; were
planted at the request of Paul
Carrington Cameron, for whom
this street was named.
Old timers who attended Caro
lina at the turn of the century
often heard the name of Paul
Cameron, and learned to honor
his memory for the things he
did for Chapel Hill. Cameron
was one of the wealthiest plant
ers of his day. He is said to have
owned 1900 slaves. His inter
ests in the University were un
ceasing, and his efforts to im
prove it were untiring.
Went to Trinity
Paul Cameron, one of the most
interesting personalities in
North Carolina history, was the
son of Judge Duncan Cameron.
He was born at Stagville, Orange
county, in 1808. He entered the
University at 17, but remained
only one year before going to
what is now known as Trinity
College in Hartford, Connecti
cut. Was Sole Heir
When his father died in 1853,
Paul Cameron became the sole
heir to all the property. He not
only managed his own estate but
also those of various relatives in
North Carolina, Alabama and
Mississippi. When the first agri
cultural society was organized in
this state, Cameron was elected
president. He kept his office in
Hillsboro.
Great Landowner
It has been said that this ener
getic man at one time owned half
of North Carolina. At the time
of his death Cameron owned
tracts of land in Buncombe,
Transylvania and Henderson
counties in addition to his hold
ings in the Piedmont section. He
also owned a large plantation in
Tunica county, Mississippi.
Cameron's interest in educa
tion was unflagging. It was he

Speaking" before a small group
of faculty and students,, Tuesday
night former Premier of France,
Camille Chautemps, asserted
that he did not want to see
France become a satellite to im
posing powers, but that she
should take her rightful place in
the UNO as a democratic power.
The French statesman spoke
in Hill Hall under the auspices
of the International Relations
club and was introduced by
Frank P. Graham, president of
the University.
Chautemps explained that
France, in returning to her place
as an international power, need
ed the help and understanding
of America. He traced the his
tories of the two nations, empha
sizing the help in times of crises
which each have exchanged with
the other.
"It is America's tradition to
love France and to enjoy the
charm of my country since both
are republics born from the same
fundamental philosophy," he
continued.
M. Chautemps said that a so
lution to problems arising from .
French domestic and foreign
misunderstanding cannot be
solved by ignoring them. "They
cannot be overlooked. They
must be buckled one by one."
