Campus Drive
Is Extended
Another Week
Extending the campus Red Cross
war fund drive one complete week, of
ficials of the campaign stated Thurs
day night that the quota was still far
from realized.
A $1,000 allotment was asked of
the University and Dr. J. L. Godfrey,
campus chairman, asserted that only
$400 had been turned in to him, how
ever, several sororities, "fraternities
and town student sections have not
made reports yet.
In an effort to receive all possible
donations, the Red Cross committee
has established booths in the YMCA
and also in the Navy Scuttlebutt. These
are still open to all contributors and
will remain so until Tuesday.
It may be necessary to further ex
tend the drive should contributions lae-
behind after Tuesday's tabulation s.
The University allotment is a Dart

Ignorance No Excuse

Symphony Orchestra Tonight
Under the direction of Dr. Benjamin
F. Swalin, University music professor,
the North Carolina State Symphony
Orchestra will give a concert in the
Needham Broughton Auditorium in
Raleigh tonight at 8:15 o'clock. '
A feature of the concert will be Paul
Stassevitch, distinguished New York
pianist, who will play Tschaikowsky's
Concerto for piano and orchestra in
B flat minor. The remainder of the
program, to be played by the orchestra,
includes the Bach-Regar Chorale, "O
Man, Bewail Thy Grievous Sin"; Pro
kofieff's Classical Symphony; Liszt,
"Les Preludes"; and a Strauss waltz,

Annual Fund
Through Swalin's efforts the North
Carolina Symphony received last year
a $2,000 annual appropriation. The
orchestra charges $850 for a perform
ance, exclusive of the soloist's fee.
Dr. Swalin began his musical career
at an early age. Born in Minneapolis,
he became a member of the Min
neapolis Orchestra under Emil Ober
hoffer, at the age of 18. Two years
later he relinquished that position in
order to become a pupil of Franz
Kreisel. After studying under Mr.
Kreisel in New York City (1921-26)
and under the creator of great violin
ists, Leopold Auer (1926-30), he sup-

Spirit Rally of First Year Men
By Bill Stubbs
Last Tuesday, March 7, there was a meeting held by freshmen in Gerrard
Hall expressly to discuss the question of organizing the Freshman class.
The meeting was attended by 50 or 60 freshmen. dIus Dean ParlcPT- TWl-
Newsome.
During this meeting it was brought to light that the Student Legislature
had dissolved CI? SS nnrannatmT! -fAY-
the duration through a bill passed last
year. When this was pointed out, plans
were made for another meeting of the
freshmen in order to decide whether
they wanted organization or not.
Committee Setup
A committee was set up, by New
some, with Harrison Tenney as chair
man, whose duty it is to plan for the
next meeting and also to draw up a bill
which will possibly be presented to the
legislature. The meeting was then ad
journed at the outcome of the discus
sion. The next meeting of the members of
the Freshman class was scheduled for
Thursday night, March 9. At this gath
ering there were only about 47 of the
more interested students of the class-
but this fact was not too discouraging.
lenney presided over the meeting
and opened it with a statement of the
purpose of the meeting.
Group Deliberates
With resolution the group . deliber
ated the matter of getting a plurality
of the Freshman class present in order
that they might vote on the question at
hand. Several ideas were discussed and
a plan was finally decided upon to get
the members to the next meeting.
The thought then turned to reasons
for organizing and what benefits would
be gained by it. First, it would benefit
the Student Government by having
such an organization from which its
future leaders would come - Almnsf
every campus leader that holds an office
today had a hand in freshman politics.
Secondly, such a cla-s would serve to
inspire other large bodies of future
students to act as a body together in
a like manner. Next it was stated by
an upperclassman that the civilian male
freshmen totaled more than 50 per
cent of the male civilian population on
the campus and a body composed of
these men would add much power to
Student Government.
Question Realists
There has been much discussion late
ly about freezing Student Government
for the duration of the war and these
freshmen, some of whom have only one
more quarter as freshmen, feel that if
their plan to organize the freshmen
works, it will prove to manv of the
realists on the campus, who believe
that student interest in government is

The Social Movement toward better
health has been gaining impetus and
strength since 1928 when a committee
studied the cost of medical care and
provided actual figures upon which
planning could be based. At that time
there was an attitude of fear and doubt
that the idea of adequate medical care
for all income groups would ever be
workable in this country. Ten years
later, when the National Health Con

Survey, the atmosphere was entirely
changed. Representatives of labor, of

Governor Broughton Advocates Medical School Expansion;
Proposals Already Approved by UNCIBoard of Trustees
Dr. Berryhill
; On Commission
The proposal of Governor J. Melville
Broughton to expand the hospitals and
medical care in North Carolina is
meeting with approval in principle
throughout the state.
The Governor's recommendations are
that the present two-year medical
school here at Carolina be expanded to
a four-year school, that a 600 to 1,000
bed hospital be erected in Chapel Hill,
to be open to patients from all sections
of the state, with provision for free
medical and hospital service to all
patients unable to pay for it. All other
hospitals to serve as local medical cen
ters would be established in strategic
regions of the state for those in need
of medical care without the means to
provide for that care.
Medical ; Democracy
The purpose of the proposed pro
gram, the governor said, is to provide
adequate medical attention to every
man, woman and child of North Caro
lina, regardless 'of race, condition or
financial circumstances." "It is mani
fest," the Governor pointed out, "that
we cannot attain to that high degree
of health essential for national well
being and economic prosperity if ade
quate medical service is limited only
to those who are financially able to

pay for it."
The Governor's proposals have al
ready been approved by the board of
trustees of the University and will be
brought up for consideration soon be
fore the State Medical Society.
A commission composed of 31 mem
bers has :: been appointed to study the
proposed program. Local members of
the commission are Dr. Reece Berry
hill, dean of the Carolina medical
BROUGHTON
school and John W. Umstead. The
group is charged with making a com
prehensive study of the entire subject
and to submit recommendations to the
next session of the general assembly.
It includes representatives of the
medical profession, farmers, business
men, laboi one negro physician and
one negro business man.
North Carolina ranks low in the field
of medicine, in comparison to other

Is Proposed
states. In 1941 this state, the 11th
largest in the nation and credited as
being the fifth most rapidly growing,
stood in 42nd place in the number of
general hospital beds per thousand
population. In regard to doctors there
are 2700 in North Carolina, that is,
there is one doctor to every 1,700 per
sons. The average over the United
States is one doctor to every 700 per
sons. Med Schools
At present there are two four-year
medical schools in North Carolina:
the Duke University and the Bowman
Gray School of Medicine of Wake For
est College at Winston-Salem. These
schools, from a study of figures, .do
not begin to supply and can never sup
ply the full requirements for phy
sicians to serve adequately the civil
ian population of North Carolina.
The first medical school in Chapel
Hill was established in 1879 and while
associated with the University, was
more or less a private school. It closed
m 1885 and in 1890 a Medical depart
ment of the University was opened un
der Dr. R. H. Whitehead. The course
began as a one-year curriculum but
