By kstra Lauds In Main Speech To Assembly The one huridred and fiftieth anni versary of the opening of the Univer sity to students was celebrated last night at an impressive ceremony held before a joint session of the state.leg islature in the hall of the House of Representatives at Raleigh. Among the speakers who partici pated in the Founders Day ceremony were Governor R. Gregg Cherry, President Frank P. Graham, Presi dent Clarence Dykstra of the Univer sity of Wisconsin, Dean of Adminis tration R. B. House, and Victor S. Bryant of Durham, who is head of the legislative committee set up to make plans for the celebration.. . Dr. Dykstra; president of the Uni versity of Wisconsin since 1937, and former' director of the Selective Ser vice Board, presented, the main ad dress of the. evening. The well-known educator saluted the modern Univer sity of North Carolina, and proclaim ed it as one of the most significant among state universities and a bold Two Eight - - : Week Terms Will Be Heidi First Session Starts July 2 Instead of the usual two term sum mer sessions of six weeks each the sum mer session this year will include two terms of 8 weeks each, the first term beginning July 2 and ending about August 29, according to an announce ment released by Dean R. B. House Committee. Director of summer school, Guy B, Phillips said that the committee has come to a final decision after careful study of the problems of operating a special session of one or two six week i periods along with the 8 week terms that were promised when the univer sity went oh a semester basis. The problems of running two separate pro grams at the same time were present ed to the heads of the various depart ments and it was their decision that it Would be impractical to try this ex periment. Mr. Phillips said that one of the main reasons why two programs could riot be run at once was the housing situa tion!. The university is now filled to its greatest capacity iri bousing, arid Hous ing for special summer school students could not be arranged until after ""tb.6 spring semester. ; Before this year summer school has begun early iri Jurie, arid if the uni versity had decided to run its six week terms along with the regular program the six week terms would have to be gin in June. Tins' would be impossible because of the housing situation. By dividing the semester into eight week terms a student has several choices. He may attend both terms, only one terrii, or he riiay just drop out until the November teriri. The first of these terriis will substi tute for the usual 6 weeks' summer school. Courses will be offered for regular university students, new graduate and professional students, teachers and social workers, health workers and new freshmen and trans fer students. Work in these eight-week terms will be in complete units, and will receive the same number of semester hours as in a regular session. Classes which meet three hours per week during a regular semester will meet six hours perxweek during the summer sessions. It will be possible for a student to carry one half of the hours that he is carry ing during the regular semester. The planned vacation period will be held as scheduled after the March se mester, but there will not be a vaca- tion period between the two summer terms. bearer of the twin torches of freedom and truth. .President Dykstra de clared Founder's Day of the Univer sity to be a significant date in the his tory of American education. "Your sister institutions of the other Ameri can states greet you . .today with warmth and affection; they glory in your history and in your long record of service," he stated. ; President Dykstra emphasized that the University has been one of the pioneer state universities in adopting the policy of a people's institution. He spoke of the difficulties that such , a policy riiay involve, but declared, "The very source of soirie of our difficulties constitutes , in the long run our strength the power of the democratic idea." , ,. In enumerating the various obliga tions of educational, institutions, Dr. Dykstra said thai the soleiriri obliga tion of 4 public education is to raise standards oi; , scholarship, citizenship, See DYKSTRA, page 4 Carolina Operation For Summer School. o ...

The fire did damage estimated to exceed $3,000 at least part of which was covered "by insurance. Besides the damage done to the supply room and the .supplies and equipment stored therein, the Yackety-Yack office was damaged considerably by the heat and chem icals used to extinguish the fire. The Yack office is located directly above the store room in the Thomas Wolfe lounge where it was moved only the day before the fire oc curred. The fire was extinguished by the fire department which responded promptly to the alarm which was turned in by one of the employees' of the Graham Memorial Grill who discovered the fire on reporting for work Saturday morning. PU Board Fills Circulation i ; ... Manager Post . The Publications Union board took full advantage of a regular Friday afternoon session by naming the new circulation manager of the Tar Heel, appropriating additional money to the Carolina Magazine upon condition" and authorizing the purchase of $7,000 worth of series G defense bonds. Harrison Tenney was selected by the board to replace Jimmy Wallace, former Tar Heel circulation manager who resigned his position with the pub lication, because of increased academic load. Five applicants appeared be fore the board seeking the job. Ten ney was the only applicant who had worked in the circulation department previously and the board thought Har rison to be more qualified on this ac count. The actual cost of circulat ing the Tar Heel was discussed joint ly by the board and the retiring circu lation manager who suggested that the cost was a little out of proportion as compared with other departmental costs. The board lowered the allot ment for circulating the Tar Heel from $24 per week to $18 per week. Mike Beam and Marion Kerr, liter ary editor and business manager of the Carolina Magazine respectively, asked the board to grant the publica tion $60 per issue for the remaining four issues to irieet engraving costs. Business manager Kerr told the board that the Mag had secured in the first two issues,, almost half of the adver tising predicted for six issues. . The board consented to give the publica tion $60 for the January issue arid" other issues if the advertising were to keep the same pace as it has in the first two issues.

Second CPU speaker of the trimes ter, following Senator Lister Hill of Alabama, Lilienthal, much acclaimed for his giant success in steering the Tennessee power project, has made headlines in recent months as the reci pient of attacks launched by Tenn essee's Senator McKellar. Also gain ing publicity for him lately has been the immense acclaim accorded his book, "TVA Democracy on the March," which appeared last March. Pride of the New Deal, Lilienthal says, "I believe men may learn to work in harmony withuthe forces of nature, neither despoiling what God has given nor helpless to put them to use. ... I believe that through the practice of . democracy the world of technology, holds out the greatest op portunity, iri all history for the devel opment of the individual, according to his own talents, aspirations arid will ingness to carry the responsibilities of a free man. We have a choice: to use science for evil or for good. I believe meri can make themselves free. These convictions have been fortified as I have seen them take on substance and become part of the life of this valley arid of . its people." ... , ,orth Carolina's Jonathan Daniels has described Lilienthal as "a big riiari. ... He grins, wide arid shrewd; and there is none of the wide-eyed staring of the Utopian, in his .eyes. He can laugh as well as talk. A middle western man in Tennessee, he can be serious without violating Tennessee's 4 traditional rale" number 5 : 'Don't lake yourself too darimed seriously I1 " "Current Biography" of June 1944 says "of him: "Lilienthal isf a good speaker who understands modern pub licity and its value. A thoroughgoing realist, he is not very sensitive to per sonal criticism. Likes to refer to' hirn- self as an amateur athlete (he still boxes, plays badminton and rides a five-gaited horse), ari amateur author (he's still puzzled by the success of his book) and an amateur administra tor." The success of the immense Tenn essee Valley project, which affected 1,350,000 people living on 225,000 farms, has been attributed to Lilien- thal's belief in gaining the confidence and cooperation of the farmers, busi nessmen, townsmen, and labor leaders in engineering a project, rather than pushing measures on them from above. He has no confidence in "progress that comes from plans concocted by super men and imposed upon the rest of the See TVA, page U Newspaper Men To Convene Here The annual meeting of the North Carolina newspaper institute will be held here January 25th and 26th.
