For This Issue NEWS: MORRIS ROSENBERG SPORTS: JIM McADEN Nine-tenths Hard Work When Paul Whiteman gave his selections of musicians who deserved to play in an All-American swing band, recently, he asserted that none of these "swing-makers" could have ever attained their preeminence on talent alone. Each one, he said, was an experienced musician, thoroughly schooled in the science of music and in instrumental technique. He con firmed the old axiom that "genius is ninertenths hard work." These men's musical talent came into fruition only after working for years to acquire the skills necessary to produce high-class "swing." A member of the University committee which examines candidates for History Ph.Ds said recently that it is not Uncommon for a candidate to fail his examinations, not be cause he lacked talent, but because he lacked certain funda mental knowledge and techniques. His examinations showed an inability to acquire, store and then use facts effectively. Knowledge must have meaning, but it must also have sub stance ; facts and the technique of using them provide knowl edge with the latter. A scholar, at least of Ph.D. caliber must have more than a "general idea" of his1 subject. But to get more necessitates thorough, sometimes tedious mental dis cipline and training. Stephen Leacock, well-known essayist and professor of English at McGill University, wrote a pair of articles for the New York Times Magazine in which he describes the long American educational process as one which unnecessarily "eats up life" and suggests various ways of shortening and simplifying this process. Leacock suggests that a student merely get a "broad firm outline what might be called a thorough smattering of history." He goes on to say that be yond giving the students a few dates to hang his history on and a few exams to make the course convincing, the student should be turned loose to read. In these articles, Leacock im plies that the conventional educational system is unneces sary, because all that potential scholars need iri order to produce scholarly work is to leave them free to graze at knowledge at will and unimpeded by the drudgery of learning. This implication seems fallacious. As the eminent musician must first spend hard years of learning music and techniques before he, can produce fine music, so must the student learn to acquire, correlate and use facts, to write good sentences, . to read books properly, however tedious and unscholarly as they may seem at the time, before he can write learned dis sertations pass examinations for a Ph.D. degree. THE 1:3' CLA By Adrian Spies (Guest Columnist: Frank Goldsmith) "Just Around the Corner" Sunday and Monday, Carolina. "Just Around the 0011161" finds Shirley Temple in one of her typical roles as the little angel who brings happiness and good fortune to her elders. Cast as Shirley's lucky father is Charles Farrell -while Armanda Duff, a cute newcomer, does a com mendable but unoriginal piece of act ing as the girl Farrell is in love with. Per nsnal little Shirley dances and sings her way through a typical Hollywood plot while the rest of the cast stands by admiring her cuteness. One bright spot in an average story is the dancing of Bill Robinson and the comedy of Bert Lahr. For those admirers of Shirley Temple, "Just Around the Corner" will prove light, but good entertain ment. "The Citadel" Tuesday and Wednes day, Carolina. In a British produced Metro-Gold-wyn Mayer film, "The Citadel," star ring Robert Donat and Rosalind Rus sell, and based on Dr. J. A. Cronin's best seller, King Vidor has turned out an impressive, well acted picture. The story concerns the struggles of a young, conscientious English doc tor to retain the ethical code, the love of his school mistress wife, and his marriage. Both the fine acting of Do nat, as the doctor and Miss Russell as the wife add much in making "The Citadel" a powerful, emotional pro duction which adds much to Cronin's plea for a more ethical medical pro fession. - . - "The Arkansas Traveler" Thursday and Friday, Carolina. "The Arkansas Traveler" marks the beginning of Hollywood's attempt to mold Bob Burns into the same type of cinema actor as the late, lovable Will Rogers. If this be the production's purpose it fails miser ably. As a good musical and a ve hicle for the antics of Burns the film is passable for the individual who is going to the show mainly to escape the real things in life. ' "Swing That Cheer" Saturday, Carolina. This film like too many Hollywood productions will teach us Carolina students how to be really collegiate. Andy Devine and Tom' Brown are the main characters in this "football clas sic" of the silver screen. For those who feel they lack "campus atmos phere" we recommend this light- Mrs. Morgan Speaks Tonight (Continued from first page) v free for personal interviews from 3:30-4:45 on Monday afternoon.

The purpose of the meeting is not to draw a large group who feel that they are under obligation to attend. No one has to come. If a student comes once, he need not come again unless he wants to. This meditation period is simply one time during the day when a student may feel free to escape the general rush of campus activity in relaxation and thought. The plan has been used with suc cess in summer conferences and camps for morning watch, and the committees want it to fill the need here for similar opportunities to think in seriousness and quiet. When work on Gerard hall is com pleted, the committees will arrange for an evening service which will probably be more timely for such a program. As conditions are now, however, the period fits best into the early morning to start the day. Americans Debate Britishers (Continued from first page) a series of broadcasts in Ireland re lating to the industrial and social problems in that country. Williams is from Wales and is a candidate for a Bachelor of Divinity degree. The le gal and ministerial talent combination should produce interesting complica tions in the debate. Hobbs and Wig gins are senior and sophomore, re spectively. The debate is obviously of humor ous nature but possesses some serious aspects, and was chosen with the aim of giving the visitors every oppor tunity to display their usual flair for fun. The Anglo-Irish team is sponsored by the National Union of. Students of the British Isles. The debate is being sponsored by the University debate council of which Hobbs is president. - Compton To Open McNair Series (Continued from first page) a result of his brilliant work in re search physics there the Westinghouse company offered him a position which he accepted and held until 1919.

Roosevelt To Talk Here (Continued from first page) ton to interview the President and his secretarial staff, pleading for the chief executive's presence in Chapel Hill. Whether Roosevelt will come direct ly to Chapel Hill on a special train is not known. There is a possibility that he will come to some nearby city, Ra leigh, Durham, or Greensboro, thence travel here by motor car in the late afternoon-in time for a banquet in his honor preceding the address. The occasion of Roosevelt's visit will mark the first time that he has made a scheduled speech in North Carolina since 1936, when he spoke at a Demo cratic "Green Pastures" rally in Char lotte. As part of his reception, Deputy National Works Progress Administra tor Aubrey Williams and State Admin istrator George Coan will arrange for a choir concert by several hundred Negro WPA workers from Winston Salem and Durham. tion he has received. In addition to hia many honorary degrees he is the re cipient of many gold medals of out standing merit, among which is the Rumford award from the American Acadmey of Arts and Sciences.
