CAROLINA, DUKE TO BE SURVEYED FOR NAVAL ROTC Leading Universities Considered By Navy For Training Bases The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke university at Durham are expected to be among the colleges surveyed by the Navy de partment in order to select tentatively the location of two new naval ROTC units, it was announced in Washing ton Saturday. The Navy department stated today that a survey is being made of edu cational institutions in the United States for this purpose. The estab lishment of the naval ROTC units is planned for 1940. However, the se lection cannot be made definitely un til funds have been appropriated by Congress for the expense involved in the establishment of the units. Many of the leading universities of the United States are being consider ed and the selection of location will be based on the following factors: Large male enrollment. Geographical location such as to have units located in the most impor tant population areas and to give a general coverage to the United States. Location near coast to reduce rail travel for embarkation on sea cruises. Location near naval stations, bases, or naval activities to provide oppor tunities for practical work. Granting of adequate hours and college credits for the naval science course. The establishment of the Naval Re serve Officers' Training corps, with J an enrollment strength of 1,200, was authorized in 1925.

Bankhead when he spoke last week at the opening of the Institute of Government's new labora tory building here. "The last thing the American peo ple desire or will tolerate," he added, "is for us to be involved in another foreign war. Those in authority or in fluence may differ in their view3 as to methods but are of one mind as to our objective." Bankhead described North Carolina's unique Institute of Government as a trail blazer in the improvement of government in this nation. The first of its kind in America, in that it unites all groups of officials, students and citizens interested in government, the Institute will net only "prove of in calculable value to every citizen of this state, but will also be the inspiration and pattern for many similar activi ties in other states," Bankhead pre dicted. Referring to the University of North Carolina as "one of the great centers of educational enterprise," Bankhead expressed the opinion that the insti tution had "pioneered in many fields of social and economic research," and declared fortunate the "selection of such an environment for the North Carolina Institute of Government." The two things Speaker Bankhead most deplored in public affairs today were the "many manifestations of sub versive and sinister attack upon our political and governmental system "and the use of propaganda and group pres sure" in influencing the votes of leg islators.

Thomas is one of the four men who are definitely slated to appear here, others being Senators Robert A. Taft of Ohio, H. Styles Bridges of New Hampshire and Bob Reynolds of North Carolina. Of the four speakers, Thomas is the only one who will deal with America's place in the international scene. He will outline his reasons and methods of why and how America can keep out of the present conflict. As the lead ing figure in the Socialist party, Thomas will present the official views of that political creed. For the past two presidential elec tion?, he ha? run on the Socialist ticket, polling a considerable number of votes each time. It is expected by political observers that he will be nominated again next year. Although he represents a decided minority, Thomas has carried on an active campaign for many years, in numer ous tours throughout the nation. He has been one of the leading critics of the administration in power for the last two decades, although he sympa thizes in part with some of the New Deal measures. His chief criticism of President Roosevelt's administra tion was expressed in one of his re cent speeches, in which he stated, "We are not going to get out under the New Deal," and he then went on to call the President's program a plan for temporary relief. - -. Along with the announcement that Thomas would appear here came word that two of the three ambas sadors of the belligerent nations had declined the CPU's invitations to ( Continued on page 2, column U) MED BUILDING OPENING MADE WITH MANY TALKS Dr. E. K. Marshall, Ex-Dean Manning Principal Speakers Sixty years of medical progress were celebrated here yesterday when Carolina's new home for its School of Medicine and Division of Public Health were formally opened with an impres sive program that began in the morn ing and continued through a dinner session. During the day hundreds of visitors, among them a number of delegates from other sections of the country, moved in and out of the new building, and across the highway to the new dormitory for the medical students. The visiting delegates expressed ad miration for the completeness and modernity of the building which oc cupies a little over three times more space than its predecessor, Caldwell hall. No rooms were found not in use. Informally opened at the beginning of the fall term, the building, as yet unnamed, conforms to the prevailing style of other campus structures. It was erected at a cost of $428,000 of which the state appropriated $275, 000 and the Public Works administra tion the remainder. Administrative Dean R. B. House presided over the program yesterday morning, when the attendance filled the auditorium of the new building. Welcoming the visitors, President Frank -P. Graham paid tribute to the tireless devotion of the men who have labored for the school since its found ing 60 years ago. Dean W. deB. MacNider responded and then acted as chairman for the re mainder of the morning session. The story of the development of sul fanilamide, the new drug being used with such success as a specific cure for certain infectious diseases, was re lated by Dr. E. K. Marshall, Jr., pro fessor of pharmacology in the Medi cal School of Johns Hopkins univer sity, in whose laboratory, Dean Mac (Continued on page 2, column 3) I
