Education Here and There
Stories continue to circulate around the cam
pus about luckless would-be students who have
been accepted by the University but have found
it impossible to find a place to live during their
stay here. For the benefit of any such unfor
tunates, we wish to pass on a reminder from
Russell Grumman, head of the Extension divi
sion in Swain hall, about the University's state
wide College Center program.
This program was initiated last year for
"the purpose of giving a year of college work
to students who found themselves squeezed out
of regular institutions by heavy post-war en
rollments. Twelve such centers operated in
North Carolina cities last year, and five have
already been started for the current term. The
University will try to provide this instruction
to any group of university candidates number
ing 30 or more who will sign up with the Ex
tension division. Director Grumman has. said
that there is hope that some of this year's Cerr
ters will provide the full two years general
college curriculum.
It seems to us that, in these days of small col
lege towns throughout the nation being jammed
with students in fashion never dreamed of a
few years ago, the college center idea is a pro
gramto be nourished and fostered. Presbyterian
College is now running an off -shoot of its cam
pus at Maxton. on a former Army flying base
procured from the government surplus property
services. There are numbers of these abandoned
bases over the countryside where educational
centers such as these could function. The facili
ties of an Army post, such as recreation halls
and movie houses, are all being operated at
Maxton "College" and provide students there
with all the normal advantages of university
life without the current problems of overcrowd
ed classrooms and unsanitary living conditions.
STANFORD. V..".
Mr. Coates and Civic Responsi
"v The Wedgewood room of the Waldorf-Astoria
hotel has played host to many distinguished
personages, but perhaps none has contributed
as much. to his state government as Prof. Al
bert . Coates who will speak at a conference on
"The 'Citizen's Participation in Public Affairs."
This subject is one that is indelibly stamped on
Coates' mind. Several years ago, inspired by a
great incentive to teach the duties of responsi
bility to the new office holders in the State, he
almost single-handed established the Institute
of Government here in Chapel Hill. As a re
sult of his indefatigible efforts, the Institute has
become one of the most important functions
of our state government. In the training of
county, local, and state officers it is second to
none. The newly-organized school for traffic
and highway officers is expected to be a tremen-
bility
dous step in 'decreasing, the number of accidents
in the state. !
Coates' association with the University and
the state has not been an easy-going chain of
events, and he was' not -received with outspread
arms. He was forced to prove the merits of his
system. He has. And the State is greatly indebt
ed to Coates for his ingenuity in working out
the Institute and for his orientation of its elect
ed officers.
The members of the Conference, held under
the auspices . of the American Bar association,
the American Political Science . association, and
the School of Law of New York university, are
indeed fortunate; in being able to have Coates
with them a few pointers. The "Citizenship
Clearing House" will inevitably be a success.

By Bob Sain
There is not much use in try
ing to give last evening's Sound
and Fury Freshman Night Show
an ordinary review. It was not
an ordinary show.
First of all, the show which
was not up to the best that the
campus musical comedy organi
zation can produce was played
to one of the largest groups ever
to crowd into Memorial hall.
Unfortunately the audience was
well spiced by townspeople's
twelve-year-olds who heckled
the performers without mercy
and who made very impolite
noises with little horns. Per
haps children under sixteen
shouldn't be admitted without
adult supervision.
But that is neither here and
we hope it won't be there again.
In the best tradition of the
stage, Sound and Fury's stand
out showpeople Coline Smith,
Doug Gardner, Gray Adams,
Pete Strader, Ben Kistler gave
the big, noisy audience a good
fight. Coline, perched on a piano
and warblins her "Love for
Sale", sold her number as usual
while the people out front
greeted her every phrase with
horns, whistles, and coins
thrown on the stage. Most any
i other singer would have cut the
j tune after one chorus.
Dous Gardner ran through
i an Eddie Cantor style harem
J number with his usual energy
and spirit. Dancers in the skit
j were Grace Blades, Nancy Tuck
, er and Anies Daye, Jr.
j Gray Adams was at home in
I front ,of the heckling, cat-call-
ing audience in a comic routine.
uit inlc "fn' very funny,
but, as usual, he knew his way
around behind footlights.
Pete Strader, lanky director
of the show and more-or-less
emcee due to the late arriyal of
Ben Kistler,- fought the good
flight against the tough audience.
His work in "Love That Soap
Opera,'' the summer - show
"Blip" skit, and in the finale
was outstanding. Equally out
standing in the finale were Co-
line Smith, who presented the
amusing Kern tune, "Life Upon
the Wicked Stage," with almost
perfect comedy technique, and
Forrest Covington. Covington's
summer-show holdover, "Old
Man River" was the top number
of the show. The audience was
impressed by his Voice 'and dra
matic appeal. Their applause
was what . had been missing
through the show.
Workmanlike - performances
were turned in by . June Mat
thews "and her brother, Frank.
June sang one of Frank's songs,
"Moonlight" with what may
well have b.een careful regard
for the notes. We couldn't say
for sure since it is not. one of
composer Matthews' best tunes.
June has a competent voice and
an agreeably subdued stage per
sonality. If she has luck she
should be tops in the organiza
tion within a year. Frank work
ed as hard as, if not harder than,
most in the show. His piano
accompaniment to all the songs
was excellent.
The Sigma Chi sextet was
well received by the audience.
The reception was probably due
to the fact that their six voices
Wisconsin campus from August
30 to September 7, gives the
American college student unpre
cedented representation in the
educational world.
Some 700 delegates officially
representing 1,100,000 students
in 351 leading colleges and uni
versities throughout the United
States worked day and night in
Madison to write the NSA con
stitution and plan a dynamic
and comprehensive program of
activities to improve education
and promote friendship and un
derstanding among students
both at home and abroad.
The new-born NSA, with per
manent headquarters on the Un
iversity of Wisconsin campus in
Madison and six full-time na
tional officers, is starting im
mediately with its activities on
campus, regional and national
levels.
Tlie aims of NSA; as present- j
ed in the preamble, to the con
stitution, are to "stimulate the
development of democratic self
government; promote interna
tional understanding and fellow
ship;, and aid in securing for all
people equal rights and possi
bilities of primary, secondary
and higher education regardless
of sex, religion, political beliefs
or economic circumstances."
These aims will be pursued
through such activities as col
lecting and disseminating infor
mation and statistics, working
out student tours and cultural
exchanges, and bringing stu
dents together to discuss and
plan projects for the improve
ment of education in all its
phases.
The NSA constitution is to be
ratified by the member student
bodies within nine months. Th2
national organization is divided
into 26 geographic regions,
which have already elected their
officers. Depending upon the
number of students in each, tjie
regions will have one or two
representatives on the national
executive committee. Only the
officially constituted student
governing bodies on the respec
tive Campuses will send repre
sentatives to the national con
gresses to be held each summer.
The convention authorized
the executive committee to be
gin negotiations for NSA affili
ation with the International
Union of Students, with reserva
tions which will preserve the
purely educational nature of the
NSA and prevent the NSA from
being bound by political actions
Southern white delegates
were concerned lest their reg
ional autonomy be impaired by
by-law provisions on the elim
ination of discrimination. Ne
gro delegates and others desired
that the NSA should be enabled
to act on such problems on a
national level without leaving
them to the initiative of regions.
The final compromise solu
tion provided that NSA "will
take action on national, region
al, and campus problems through
the corresponding organization
of NSA to implement its stated
principles, with regard to the
legal limitations involved."
.The constructive activities of
IUS with which the NSA plan
cooperation are: educational and
student exchange; national and
international tours; exchange of
student publications and infor
mation; world-wide sports ev
ents; student relief; reconstruc
tion and study of educational
facilities; faculty conference
and exchanges; and joint.
projects and exchanges on art,
drama, and science.
The organization has boon giv
ing a special send-off by Presi
dent Truman. His statement: t
"The people of the United
States have long manifested 'an
outstanding interest in higher
education. Our colleges and uni
versities are now crowded be
yond their capacities with an
unprecedented number of stu
dents, eager to prepare themsel
ves in the best possible manner
for meeting the problems of tho
future. It is a pleasure to send
greetings to the Constitutional
Convention of the National Sin
dent Association.
