He will speak upon international relations with special emphasis upon the Mexican situation. Daniels, a native Carolinian, was! secretary rof navy under Wbodrowj Wilson, and has been publisher of the Raleigh News and Observer for a number of years. One of the more popular of Carolina's sons, Daniels visit should be greeted with consider able enthusiasm and interest. As an observer of the highly con gested Mexican scene, Daniels should provide an enlightening viewpoint upon the present struggle' in the neighbor nations.

Offering two observations before culminating an impressive record a3 chief campus executive, Magill assert ed that unless students realize that their freedom bears many responsi bilities, it may be taken away from them.
