Foiimlor’s Day, FrWny, February 1 The first Friday in February, accord ing to our college tradition, is cele brated as Foxinder’s Day. To us alum nae (also according to tradition) this celebration consists, for one sure thing, in our having special get together meet ings of small and large groups, chapters and non-chapters, all over this state and in others—wherever there is a group of alumnae. And again this year for the fifth time—is that long enough to make it a tradition?—we are to have a Meredith broadcast over Station WFTF. Raleigh at 4 o’clock. We under stand that the station has been strength ened to such an extent that there will be no difficulty-in getting the program at any point in this state, to say the least —and, most likely, anywhere in the United States. The radio program will interest you. Our own president, Mrs. Helen Hil liard Leggett of Scotland Neck, will pre side. “Alma Mater” and "You're the Queen of our Hearts, Alma Mater” will be played and sung—and you will join in. Dr. Brewer will have a message for you. The Glee Club, which has helped us so many times before, will sing several numbers. One of the pres ent students will give you a glimpse of Che highlights of this college year so far. And then, the messages from In dividuals, groups and chapters will have their accustomed place. A word about the messages—besides for the radio program, they will be read in the morning at the Founder’s Day exercises in our auditorium. (This has been done tour times consecutively. Another tradition?) And for the first time they will be posted on a special bulletin board in the Administration Building. A word of admonition is that you be sure Co get your messages here in ciine. They are important. Another word of admonition—if the aliimnae in your vicinity have not already planned for a meeting on this coming Founders’ Day, Friday, Feb ruary 1. stai't doing so at once.

NSEA Head Will Address College Presidents New York, N. Y. (NSFA)—NSFA President John A. Laug •will represent college students at the convention of the Association of American colleges in At lanta, January 17 and 18. College presi dents, representatives of faculty organ izations and administration officials will meet there to discuss educational problems and the social value of higher education. President Lang has been invited to address the gathering to present the American undergraduate’s conception of academic freedom, student-faculty- admlnistratlon relationship, and the place of the Federal government in education. Committees of college presi dents, professors and students have been formed throughout the country to investigate and light the rising menace to academic freedom and at Atlanta these groups will be integrated to act as a unit in an attempt to liberalize meth ods in vogue in institutions of higher learning. Outside interests are now more than ever before bringing pressure to bear on college administrations through legislatures and boards of trustees and It is Mr. Lang’s contention that if the students were allowed more vital functions of self-government and direct contact with the trustees and boards of regents, this outside pressure would be minimized.
