Classes resumed Dec. 28 Dr. Godfrey Approves World Organization In Talk At IRC Forum Setting the pace for the fourth In ternatibnal Relations club forum pre sentation of the year, Dr. J. L. God frey, history professor, struck a pessi mistic note last Tuesday night by voic ing his approval of a world organiza tion, but disbelief in its ability to per manently stem the tide to war. "The League wasn't as much a fail ure as some people think," Godfrey said. "We don't play up the wars we didn't have, and though I don't, believe new League will permanently do away with war, it will most likely pre vent some conflicts and postpone an other great one." Holding the opposite stand was Dr. E. H. Newcomer, botanists, who denied that wars are "natural" and therefore inevitable. He spoke for a world or ganization laid on the remnants of the League structure. Skeptical of the outlook for con tinued peace, Dr. J. C. Russell, his torian, warned of the menace of in creasing imperialism. Approaching the problem through the principles involved, Rev. C. M. Jones, Pastor of the Presbyterian church urged that an international union would have a greater task than the prevention of war. It must do something positive in the eradication of the causes for war, Jones said. Corn- See IRC FORUM, page S eet China under authority of the Federal Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. In China he was supervisor of hospitals and did much practice work at the same time. Dr. Judd was in China until 1938 when the Japanese restrictions made it impossible for him to continue operations. Upon his re turn to the states he toured the country as a lecturer on the "China situation. It was his purpose to try to build up a lobbying wave sufficient to bring about an embargo on the sale and ship-. ment of war materials and scrap iron to Japan. He retired in 1941 to private practice of medicine in his home state of Minnesota, but his lecturing and public-spiritedness so attracted the at tention of the state populace that .they ran him for Congress and sent him to Washington in 1942. Almost immedi ately he became a daring new voice on the floor of the House of Representa tives. Dr. Walter Judd is a power in matters pertaining to the Orient as well as honest and progressive gov ernmental policies here at home. Wac Recruiter On Campus Cpl. Jane C. Sondley, representative of the Fourth Service Command, Wo men's Army Corps, will be stationed on the campus at 207 South for the next two weeks to interview WAC appli cants and to explain the enlistment plan to women interested in uniformed ser vice with the Army. The Women's Army Corps is espe cially anxious to contact coeds soon to graduate. Cpl. Sondley said that there is an acute need for medical techni cians and at the present time the medi cal corps needs 20,000 women to help with wounded patients. Women who can qualify for jobs such as psychiatric social worker, psychia tric assistant, educational recondition ing personnel, medical, lab and X-ray technicians and occupational therapist will be assigned to an Army hospital caring for returned injured soldiers. Those interested may contact the representative by calling or coming to room 207 South at any time between two and 4:30 p.m. or at other times by appointment through Friday of this week and throughout the next week. Coed Senators Discuss Finances The matter of funds took the front seat in the Coed Senate meeting Tues day night. Dixie Jean Bodge presented the treasurer's report while the various organizations under the senate's juris diction submitted petitions for finance for the school term. Controversial discussions arose over the amounts of money different groups want and the senate demanded de tailed information before approving tentative budgeting.

The subsidiary organizations which will receive funds from the senate bud get include: Women's Athletic Asso ciation, Valkyries, Inter-Dorm Council, CICA, Glee Club, Town Girls Associa tion and the War Coordination Board.

General A. A. Vandegrift, Commandant of the Marine Corps, told a packed house in Memorial hall in the main feature of the program com memorating the 151st University Day celebration that "the armed forces have not been lulled . . . and the Amer ican people must not be lulled by the relative weakness of the Japanese sea and airpower opposition." Delivering the principal address at the 151st anniversary of the laying of the cornerstone of Old East, first state university building in the nation, Gen eral Vandegrift asserted that "we must constantly increase our power to be ready to meet any sudden strike." The celebration also commemorated Carolina's vast contributions to the war effort, which began with a war training program 20 months before Pearl Harbor.

G. Merritt, Commanding Officer at Cherry Point; Brigadier General John P. Ken nedy, Commanding Officer at Fort Bragg; and Brigadier General Ken neth Royall, of Goldsboro, recently re turned from a mission overseas, and Lt. Col. Herbert M. Poole, Commanding Officer of Camp Butner. In introducing the speaker, Mr. Dan iels, one-time Commander of the Ma rine Corps, said "it is appropriate that the most distinguished Marine Gen eral should come to this historic anni versary of the University presided over by the greatest private who ever wore the Marine uniform. The University Day observance this year was a leature of the sesquicen- tennial celebration of the opening of the University which is to continue through 1945. Chartered in 1789, the cornerstone of the University's first building was laid in 1793, and the in stitution was the first state university in the country to open its doors to stu dents, in 1795. Administrative Dean Robert B. House of the University presided over the exercises and conducted a respon sive reading. Rev. Emmet Gribbin of the Chapel of the Cross gave the invo cation, and following a minute of si lence in memory of those alumni who have died since last University Day, General Vandegrift gave the principal address. Among the special guests, in addi tion to those mentioned were Lt. Col. Thurston J. Davies of Washington, who is in charge of the Marine College Training Program throughout the country; Lt. Col. A. D. Reid, of Ra leigh, head of the Southeastern Sector of the Eastern Defense Command; Captain J. R. Bennett, Aide to General Kennedy; Captain Charles P. McFeat ers, Commanding Officer of the Duke V-12 program; and Warrant Officer J. E. Blanchard, in charge of the Ma rine unit at Duke University. General Vandegrift reviewed the Navy V-12 unit, which includes a Ma rine contingent, and the Navy Pre Flight cadets in Kenan Stadium, and later, he, along with the special guestS, witnessed the regular bi-weekly sports program of the Pre-Flight cadets on Fetzer Field. "Actually, the enemy faces a classic dilemma," he asserted.
