HEARS GRAHAM
AT GREENSBORO
President Stresses
Responsibility Of
Religion, Education
Dr. Frank Porter Graham, president
of the University, in the third series
of platform addresses as a feature of
religious emphasis week at Woman's
college Tuesday placed the responsi
bility for the salvation and security
of democracy upon religion and edu
cation in a world "in which men every
where had lately come to aspire to
ward freedom and democracy, but
now, in terrible disillusionment, inse
curity and fear, have turned and are
turning to dictators and totalitarian
ways."
"In this critical hour for human
freedom, now renounced or crushed
!in more than half the world, instead
of a dictatorship away from democ
racy, and instead of a dictatorship to
ward democracy, this religious em
phasis week sounds its timely chal
lenge to religion, to education, to
freedom, and democracy," Dr. Graham
told his Aycock stadium audience.
NEW FAITH
"As the peoples of the world may,
with new faith, turn to these, may we,
as students and citizens' turn for guid
ance to the greatest Teacher and su
preme Democrat, whose teachings and
life became the foundations of free
dom and democracy in the modern
world." - ' ' '""V-'''
Urging the youth of America to look
toward democratic and spiritual faith,
Dr. Graham declared, "In America
we would seize the hour not for a dic
tator, and not for war, but to put our
house in order according to the in
tended American way of a real free
dom and a just democracy. We must
realize that America is neither a
static society nor detached from the
currents of a dynamic world. As the
dictator, with all promises, found it!
necessary to crush or subordinate to
his purpose the church, parliament.
labor unions, business enterprise, the
pressj radio, schools and universities.
we, in America must resolutely pro
tect and advance the decent freedom
of all these for their own sake in the
public interest, and to make impos
sible the dictatorship of a totalitarian
state."
WARNING
Throwing out the warning that de
mocracy cannot, without decay, stop
in either the pride of historic achieve
ment or in the despair of wide human
miseries, Dr. Graham declared it to be
in the American dream that "by
wide educational provision for the
free development of individual differ
ences and aptitudes, all should have
a more equal opportnity to make the
most of their whole and highest per
sonalities and have a part, to the limit
of their capacities, in the work and

Coaches Criticized
By Psychologist
MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. (ACP)
Football coaches who like to play
the role of "Gloomy Gus" before every
gridiron battle are poor psychologists
and invite defeat.'
That is the opinion of a University
of Minnesota psychologist, Prof.
Charles Bird, and he thinks something
ought to be done about it.
"After all, football players are like
the rest of us," he says. "We do bet
ter when we get a little praise, or
when we can look ahead to victory.
"Most football players are young
and susceptible about 19 or 20 years
old on the average. They feel keenly.
don't believe it does them any good
to have a coach point to nothing but
defeat. Like the rest of us, they need
;he 'success motive'."
