Before ; an audience of 2100 students, Craig, speaking on "The North Carolina Renais sance," scored the attitude of many college men who merely want to "get by" and cited the returning veteran students as the source of a rebirth of the true human spirit of culture. He showed from a recent newspaper survey that Veter ans are going to school truly for education, proof of which : was given in a national survey which showed that veterans grades averaged higher than those of any other group of students. "The ones who fought to save our country, during the war may be working to save its intellect in the peace," he prophesied. UNC Can Be Great -v "The University of North Carolina can in a decade become the greatest University in the world, i through the individual honest, hard work of the stu dents. We need only to work in telligently, realize the uricon querability of the human will, and have faith, to find this great ness," he stated. Craig's speech, which was very well received by the same student audience that he was scoring, carried the theme of diligence in college further, stat-, ing that "I hope many of you are mature enough to realize that an easy success in life is not true success. North Carolina students have the power to de velop .greatness in every field.'' Hits Students The present student genera See DR.

Better Circulation WG A Training Program First Article Approved NUMBER 44 $ Several nlans were sutrcested to the Publications Union board at a meeting yesterday after noon. One plan was that students be contacted in each dormitory who would be responsible for circulation of the Daily Tar Heel in that particular dorm. After some .deliberation and charges by editor Bob Morrison that the circulation problem was the worst it has been, the board adopted a plan suggested by Westy Fenhagen and Morrison which is designed to relieve the current situation. The method as suggested by Fenhagen and Morrison was' to leave a more adequate supply of Daily Tar Heels at a central point on the campus, preferably the "Y" and to serve the dorms with door to door delivery and mail papers to town and out of town subscribers. The new plan will be under the operation of the present circulation manager unless other plans are made before Tuesday which is unlikely, according to the board. Tonight the board will meet to delve into the problem more thoroughly with the pres ent circulation manager and at tempt to find the main trouble. Yes Sir!
