For This Issue: News: CARROLL B. McGAUGHEY Sports: FRED CAZEL THE GRAIL Combining Fun Arid Scholarships,, In the gaiety of colorful, in formal dances presented fre quently by the Order of the Grail, campus, dancers seldom pause to think of scholarsliips, loan funds, and kindred subjects. Quite naturally, they tend to think only of the opportunity of having an enjoyable evening of dancing at a reasonable price. But there is a close connection between Grail dances and stu dent aid. The dances are the means; scholarships, loan funds, contributions to other campus organizations, and similar serv ices are the ends which the order constantly holds in sight The Grail has announced it will add $1,000 to its loan fund of $2,000 already in the hands of the University loan office. In terest accruing from this total amount will be used to continue the Bernard-Grail Scholarship fund." One scholarship, and later two, will be awarded annually by the University scholarship com .mittee meeting with two mem bers of the Grail. With loans and scholarships, the Grail is render ing a worthwhile service to the students. While the crowd at next Sat- urday night's Grail dance will be there for the evening enjoy ment, they can have the satisfac tion of knowing, that their pres ence is helping to give some fel low student an opportunity for education: way.

Ap pearing as it does in that column but signed as it is by "The Daily Tar Heel," its authorship is not apparent. Allow me to indicate my reaction. As chairman of a department, I have ; pus an anxious obligation to seek for the most effective relationships between the students who work with us and the members of the ' departmental staff. I think I am appreciative ' in at least average degree of criticisms and sug gestions from any source when they come to me in confidential, explicit, and direct manner. In fact, I am often wishing I could learn more, and more directly, of what our students think of , their workwith us. On the. other hand, I to be addressed from the housetops with words permitting all sorts of in terpretations by every reader of your paper is surely "a blow below the belt." If any member of your staff or any letter-writer desires to call something to my attention, believe me, sir, he will be made welcome and will have an attentive and appreciative listener in my office. - Sincerely, J.

Potter, of Cornell University's R.O.T.C. department, has a lot to say about students and faculty members who call work in his department "drill,' and he says it in no uncertain terms, too. In a recent interview he gave the following lecture on proper terminol ogy as regards his department: "The term 'drill' was correctly only applied during the period before the World War when students were only taught to march, stand at ease, etc Today only one third of the program is devoted to the actual marching, the remainder being devoted to classroom studies in the field of military science! and tactics. Even the marching has developed into a study of leadership, the juniors studying how to lead the freshmen and the freshmen studyiny how the juniors lead them." Therefore, he says, you call it "mili tary science and tactics." 44-1 Odds On Education For Engineers At Texas AUSTIN, TEXAS (ACP) Forty-four to one odds were posted here today on the engineering col lege-trained man against the non-col- operates with all other organizations when their aims coincide.

The letter in yesterday's issue seemed to me not only foolish and in fantile but wholly misdirected. I saw it for the first time when I picked up the paper. As Dr. Dashiell, I suggest anyone with grievances repair to an office's privacy, since the matter as presented seemed completely private. (Signed) Martin Harmon, Editor. Sir: I should like to lay forever some ghosts that have arisen concerning the American Student Union and to answer specifically some of the charges made in your editorial today on Willie Richardson. The American Student Union is a national college and high school or ganization with over 20,000 members. It is not affiliated nor in any way as sociated with any s political party, either locally or nationally. It has our chief aims: Peace, Freedom, Se curity, and Equality, each of which is guaranteed or implied in the Con stitution of the United States. It believes' in working for these server that a seventeen-year-old ne gro was to be executed within ten days for stealing an empty pocket-book and a pack oi cigarettes (the article did not mention assualt), we immediately sent special delivery letters to Ra leigh officials to learn the circum stances of the case, but, realizing that time was perilously short, we started circulating petitions among the stu dents for commutation of the sen tence. When the Raleigh officials re fused to reply to our letters, we sent a committee to Raleigh to discover all the facts. We found that the charge was stated correctly, but that an as sault had occurred and was the main argument for execution. Naturally we destroyed the petitions, as they had been given to us in good faith by students who were not fully aware of the facts of the case. No damage was done to anyone; not to any student nor to the ASU. It was, therefore, somewhat sur prising to see your editorial accusing us of misrepresentation, a history of rash activity, and a communistic bias. Concerning this I should like to make three points: 1. The ASU, had absolutely noth ing to do with the Derry incident. The two leaders in the Derry affair were not at the time even connected with the ASU. Even had they been, their own private activity no more represents the organization than Gov ernor Hoey's teetotalism represents the National Democratic Party. ' 2. A charge or even an implica tion of communism is not to be made lightly ? at v a v time when it seems probably that within six months it will be a prison offense to be a Com munist party member in a supposedly free country. I , deny categorically the truth of this implication and de- clared, citing stastics from industrial eyployment surveys. Industrial presidencies go 12 times to one to the technically trained grad uate, 174 times to 1 for engineering positions. For all industrial offices lumped together, Dean Woolrich gave the engineering college graduate a 30-1 chance over the academic graduate. plore the fact that in the present crisis of democracy liberal forces must fight each other with such smoke screens when more than ever they should combine to fight against war and reaction. In all fairness the Tar Heel should make clear in a promi nent place that this charge is ground less. 3. At the same time the ASU cir culated its petition, two . Tar Heel writers, Adrian Spies and the editor who answered the letter to the Tar Heel concerning Willie Richardson, each made a plea for further peti tioning in Richardson's home county as a more effective instrument on his behalf. This is not to condemn them, but simply to show that they as well as the ASU realized that prompt ac tion was absolutely necessary if any thing was to be done for the boy. Under the circumstances, I think the ASU can be exonorated from any serious charges in this matter. I should appreciate your printing this letter as a statement of the position of the American Student Union on the case. "" - Very sincerely yours, Lee Manning Wiggins, President ASU. A Catholic Labor college has been established in Buffalo, N. Y., to teach the "rightful position" of the work ing man. A f In - ! '
