Peter Lejins declared in his address Thursday evening in Hill Hall under IRC auspices that their first choice would be independence. Russian and German domination were choices num ber 998 and 999, he declared. Dr. Lejins, now a professor of soci ology at the University of Maryland, discussed thoroughly the geographic location and historic background of the Baltic states before he launched into the questions and discussion - of current topics. The Baltic states have a long history of foreign domination behind them 700 years in all by such countries as Poland, Sweden and Russia. No Major Power Finally in 1918, when there was no major power that was strong in Eu rope or Asia, the Baltic states, which consist of Estonia, Latvia and Lithu ania, seized the opportunity to become independent. Although the people had had no voice in their government for over 700 years, they miraculously found leaders, established universi ties and schools to train more, and set up their own local governments. The way in which the people took hold and were able to stand on their own in ruling themselves was truly amazing. Situated as they were between Rus sia and Germany, the states" could in sure their independence by playing one of these nations against the oth er. Perhaps their only mistake, ac cording to Dr. Lejms, was their be coming slightly totalitarian in 1933 and '34. Russo-German Pact With the signing of the Russo-German pact in 1939, the states could no longer play these countries against See LATVIAN, page U ecent Draft Board Order ends 125 To Fort Bragg Several University Professors m Get Rejections At Last Minute The close out of deferments by the national government became a reality this week when Carolina students and instructors under 26 who had been deferred reported in a group of 125 men from Chapel Hill to Fort Bragg for pre-induction physicals. s A sweeping directive by the Selective Service Board on April 11 abolished existing deferment quotas, which previously had been narrowed down to a small number here on campus.

Local Action Action was left up to the local draft boards, following the no-deferment qr der, and the Orange County Draft Board in'Hillsboro wasted no time in taking that action. A total of 302 men were ordered to report to Fort Bragg on April 26. The Hillsboro draft board did its best to increase the professor shortage. However a few days before the men were to report the draft au thorities decided to postpone tem porarily the induction of men over 26. This temporary ruling was an' im portant one to the Carolina faculty. The day before they were supposed to report to Fort Bragg L. O. Kattsoff of the philosophy department and Noel Harris Houston, author who has made his home in Chapel Hill since 1937j were notified that they were not to re- port for pre-induction physicals. B. M. Drucker of the math department re ceived the same notice. John Toms of the music department, who directs the student choral groups, was rejected. Hard Hit Hardest hit by this most recent Or ange County draft call are the chem istry and; physics departments. The following chemistry majors were ac cepted for the Navy: Walter E. Wad dey, graduate student; Clinton R. Vanneman, graduate; Paul Miller Pitts, graduate; William T. Deje, Jr., grad uate; Sanford L. Steelman, graduate; Madison J. Wright, junior; and Wil liam E. Thompson, graduate. Phillip A. Greene, senior, was not accepted. John Sibley, senior, Henry Carmichael, graduate, William Dye, and Lawrence Feldman were called to Fort Bragg but the results of the physical examina tions are not known.

Starting last night with individual fraternity parties among the four local t organizations that are sponsoring the event, the Spring Frolics are a far cry from the Friday nights when big name bands limelighted the weekend on open ing night.
