Bradshaw in freshman assembly yesterday brought forward the importance of taking care of the important matters that face the student before it becomes too late. Most of the students at the University, according to Dean Bradshaw, manage their affairs so well during their stay at the University that they have no trouble with University offi cials. About twenty per cent of the student body, however, do not realize that the fact that they live in a group lays a re straining hand upon them and that they must work together "with the rest of the group if they are to live together and attain mutual success. Dean Bradshaw stated that of all things that affect the state of the student mind, probably none has a more important part than general attitude. The question is: do we run from a problem r do we attack it? In attack ln a problem, according to Bradshaw, the student mus Pick out the spot of greatest dif ficulty and attack that. Once that point is solved, the student Aas the solution to the entire Problem. According to the views of Dean Bradshaw, the student must always attack the nardest problem first. He mus leaP to the thins1 he is mos afraid of. Bradshaw's philoso phy is a good 0ffense is the bes defense."

It is through the medium of language that the social, polit ical, and economic life and cus toms of the individual is re vealed. This opinion was ex pressed yesterday by Professor Anders Orbeck of Rochester University, on leave of absence to make a preliminary survey of strategical centers from which the Linguistic Atlas plans to conduct an exhaustive research of the various dialects still ex isting in the old south. The Linguistic Atlas is an or ganization originated by a group of men interested in the variety of dialects in use in the United States at the present time. The Atlas will study the different dialects in the various sections of the nation and will publish its findings in a series of vol umes when the study is com pleted. The project, which will require ten years at least, has the financial . support of the American Council of Learned Societies. Staff Appointed Since by common acceptance the dialectic modes of the United States are divided into the three main regions of New England, the south, and the west, this or ganization sent a staff composed of Professor Hans Kurath, Ger man instructor at Brown Univer sity, director, Professor Miles Hanley, at Harvard on leave of absence from the University of Wisconsin, assistant director, and six or eight trained assist ants to begin actual field work in the New England section in September. 1931.

Mr. Thomas will speak March 3, in Gerrard hall. His subject will be "The Program for Ac tion," one phase of the general discussion of the immediate question now facing America: Where do we go from here and now The series of eight lectures being offered here are part of a national lecture circuit in forty five cities throughout the coun- ry, designed to assist in work- ing out a constructive solution for the present economic col- apse in the United States and throughout the world. Thomas is recognized as one of the greatest speakers in pub ic life. So effective is he as a platform speaker, either in ora tory or in free debate, that con servative politicians and news papers have for years attempted to entice him from his convic tions with promises of "honors ' and offices. Before, during and since the fast presidential campaign, Thomas relentlessly exposed what he calls the hopeless con tradictions of the present eco nomic system, offering in its stead an economic plan for America which he claims would wipe out, or at least drastically reduce unemployment, starva- (ContinuedZ on last page) H.

DENIES SUICIDE RUMOR Indignant at Story of Threat to Kill Himself Because of Dis honor of Being Jailed. . Vigorously denying reports that he had threatened to com mit suicide, Jisaku Fukusato, Japanese graduate student of the University, expressed indigna tion and humiliation over the situation in which he found himself when discovered Thurs day lodged in the Wake county jail following an investigation of the Daily Tar Heel. Last night President Graham announced in regard to the case that he would today make a com plete report to Secretary W. M. Doak of the Labor department,, through whom he obtained Fu kusato's release. Secretary Doak was informed of the situa tion immediately upon its dis covery by President Graham, though no formal report could be made at the time. Acting upon authority of Sec retary Doak, President Graham went to Raleigh Thursday night and brought the Japanese back to Chapel Hill, placing him in his home where he is to remain un til definite action is taken by im migration officials. What stand the University will take, whether or not it will recommend that Fukusato be permitted to re main, was not divulged in the President's statement last night.

Musical technique is not a matter of muscular development, but of mental control, says Fritz Kreisler, famous violinist, who is to appear here in a concert in Memorial hall Monday evening, February 27, at 8:30 o'clock. Kreisler backs up this state ment by adding that he has of ten memorized a concerto on a train, and played it to an audi ence with little or no preliminary practice. "It is like aiming a pistol," the erreat violinist pxnlained. "You take aim, you cock the pis tol, you put your finger on the trigger. A slight pressure of the finger and the shot is fired. Now the same thing should apply to technique on an instrument. You think before, and not merely as, or after you fire the note. Your muscle is prepared, the physical conception is perfectly clear in your mind, a slight flash of will power and your effort is achieved. But to rely on muscu lar habit, which so many do, in technique, is fatal. A little fa tigue, a little nervousness, a muscle bewildered and unable to direct itself, and where are you? Technique is a matter of the brain." Concentration Best Nor does the violinist believe that memorizing is the best ac complished by repetition. Half an hour of intense concentration is better than a week of arduous (Continued on last page)
