GRAHAM PREDICTS
PROSPERITY
FOR THE SOUTH
University President
Addresses Extension
Workers' Conference
Dr. Frank P. Graham, president of
the University, speaking before State
college extension workers in Raleigh
yesterday, predicted "balanced pros
perity in the 13 southern states," and
outlined a program of the southern
governors' conference for a decade of
prosperity in the South, giving ways
he thought it could be accomplished.
His address was the concluding
speech in the annual conference of the
extension workers which began Tues
day. In recognizing a pledge made by
county agents, 'home demonstration
agents and other extension workers
that they would support the gover
nor's 10-year "prosperity campaign,"
Graham said: ,
''These are the things you have
been trying to bring about' and with
runited support we will succeed."
Among heritages of the South, he
listed "tradition, fine human stock
and great natural resources" as "plus
signs," and "poor health records, in
adequate housing, low wages, low
purchasing power and high illiteracy
as "minus signs." He followed this
with a strong appeal for federal aid
to southern education. '
"We are on the verge of balanced
i
prosperity in the 13 southern states
and if fair rules are made, the people
of the South will come through," he
continued.
"When President Roosevelt called
the South !Economic Problem .Number
1 he was not depreciating our sec
tion, but, instead, was appreciating
the struggle of our people.
"One of our great problems is that
we are a wealth producing region, but
not a wealth-retainincr region. But
with the shift of - control from Wall
street to a social control through the
people and their representatives in
Wflshintrton ' together with fairer
c r
freight rates and more favorable

NICKSON TO HEAD
NEW COMZVIITTEE
FOR LIBERALISM
Resolution Adopted
Stating Purposes
Of Organization
A group to be known temporarily as
the Carolina Civil Liberties commit
tee, wa organized last night in Gra
ham Memorial with Richard Nickson
elected chairman. The purpose of the
organization, as stated in a resolution,
is to oppose any forces tending to de
stroy the tradition of liberalism.
During the course of the meeting
several resolutions made by similar
organizations throughout the country
were accepted by the committee. The
most important of this group was the
one drawn up by Professor Franz
Boas of Columbia university, and cir
culated widely throughout the United
States and signed by prominent per
sons. A committee composed of Allen
Green, Sam Green and Irvin Katz was
appointed by the group to withdraw
from the room to formulate a rough
draft of a resolution in which the aims
of the new organization would be
stated. Dr. E. E. Ericson, of the Eng
lish department was named ;as the
committee's technical advisor.
MOTION
While the committee was drawing
up the resolution, the main group
passed a motion to have as head, ' a
chairman and a secretary, both to act
on the executive committee with three
other members. The motion was passed
and the ensuing elections resulted in
Jerry Brown being elected secretary
and Ruth Crowell, Harry Lasker and
Allen Green other members of the
executive committee.
In view of the fact that the meeting
had already lasted two and a half
hours, the group finally decided to
postpone the remaining details of the
organizing proceedings until the meet
ing to be. held next Friday night "at
7:15. The meeting will again be open
to all interested persons.
FIRST DRAFT .
The first draft of the resolution as
approved and signed by members'
present at last night's meeting ap
pears below in its entirety.
"We believe that there are certain
elements active in our nation and in
our own state moving toward the
undermining and destruction of cml
libertv and the nrincinles of our
w . .
American democracy.
"First of all, we condemn any stu
dent 'erouD. or outside eroup, which
under the guise of combatting' 'un
Americanism,' would destroy our long
standing tradition of liberalism and
freedom of speech in this university.
"We deplore the attempt of any
committee or any group to obstruct
freedom of action, provided such ac
tion is within the limits of the law,
particularly the attempt to smear in
various ways any group that seeks to
go forward toward an extension of so
cial security i and a wider participa
tion in the economic life of the na
tion.

Of Change In Speaking Date
Senator Now Plans
To Appear Here
February 22
A slight change in the winter quar
ter plans of the CPU was made yes
terday when Senator Robert A Taft
notified Chairman Harry Gatton that
he will open his southern campaign
here on February 22 instead of Feb
ruary 16 as originally scheduled. A
leading candidate for the Republican
nomination for the presidency in
June, the Ohioan explained that poli
tical complications would keep "him in
the, nation's capitol until February 17.
WIDE OPEN
With the Republican race generally
conceded to be wide open at the, pres
ent time, Taft considers it necessary
to remain in Washington on (those
dates, "since National Republican
committeemen and committeewomen
will arrive" in Capitol Hill on those
dates. Political observers have point
ed out that the delegates to the
GOP convention next summer are al
ready being lined up, and that strong
efforts will be made by candidates to
secure additional backing during the
committee meetings.
The junior senator from the Buck
eye state created a stir in political
circles last week when he answered
President Roosevelt's request that he
balance the budget. The speech, made
before the Chicago Bar association,
severely attacked the President for
his spending program and methods in
dealing with relief.'
STATUS QUO
As the winter slate now lines up.
Robert R7 Reynolds North Carolina's
senator, will open the program with
a speech on "Americanism" next
Thursday evening. Norman Thomas
will review the international situa

STUDENT-FACULTY
DAY JAMBOREE
PLANS RELEASED
Chairman Promises
Original Revue .
Using Local Talent
"We aren't promising anything but
the wackiest show ever produced on
the campus and a darned good time,"
said Carroll McGaughey, chairman in
charge of the Student-Faculty day
jamboree the evening of February 6,
when asked what his plans were con
cerning the annual stunt night.
According to the general outline of
the program that has been whipped up,
McGaughey said, the show will follow
the general pattern of a musical re
vue, with liberal dashes of Gilbert and
Sullivan, and Olsen and Johnson.
The entire show will be new and orig
inal with all of the music and script
done by campus talent. One skit, "No
More, Please," by Caroline Crum and
Frank Guess, presented at the Play
maker's Twelfth Night revels, will be
repeated.
One departure from the usual scheme
of things will be the incorporation in
to the show of the coronation of the
Student-Faculty king and queen, to be
elected in the near future. "If we can
gei a script that is clever enough,"
McGaughey said, "we hope to -make
the coronation a take-off of one of the
Gilbert and Sullivan operettas."
Already prepared or in preparation
are lyrics for several novelty numbers,
including one by Sanf ord Stein, "Gen
tlemen, The Carolina Coed," and a skit
on the trial of the "Buccaneer."
- Working in collaboration with Mc
Gaughey, are Morris Rosenberg and
George Riddle as co-directors. "We
still have room for plenty of good ma
terial, especially if it will produce a
laugh," McGaughey said. "We would
like to have as many campus authors
as possible represented on the pro
gram. - If they will get in touch with
me at 5041 within the next few days,
well , talk the thing over.
Well is-1

Pan Hellenic
Council Plans
Service Policy
"We want to do something on this
campus, to become recognized as an
active organization," expressed 'the
members of the Pan Hellenic council
at a meeting early this week.
"This group has never done any
thing to benefit the school to any great
degree prior tojiow, and we endeavor
to. change this policy," pledged the
council, which is composed of presi
dents and rush captains of the three
sororities.
Members of the 1939-40 council are :

senting Chi Omega; Mary Jane Yeat
man and Polly Raoul, of Pi Phi; Sarah

MEASURES
They proposed the following meas
ures which they will attempt to carry
out: '
(1) In general, to better conditions
for and between each sorority and tq,
aid the coed's position on the campus.
(2) To establish a scholastic award
to be given to the most outstanding
coed annually. . i
. (3) To have regular meetings,
every two weeks, with all work, such
as rushing and the issuing of bids,
to be handled through one main office.
In order to carry out these plans
necessary funds must be raised. The
council will sponsor a benefit bridge
tournament this afternoon from

IflMBALL-YOUNG
BOUT EXPECTED
TO BE FEATURE
By WILLIAM L. BEERMAN
Carolina's 1940 prayer for a confer
ence boxing championship will begin at
8 o'clock tonight when hard-fisted mitt
men from The Citadel, most of them
the same lads who last season licked
Mike Ronman's team 5-3, climb into the
Woollen gym ring to a instigate a new
season.'
Eight well-trained Cadets, together
with veteran Coach Matty Matthews
and several managers, marched into
Chapel Hill late yesterday afternoon
and worked out briefly in the gym box
ing room.
Feature of tonight's program is the
J heavyweight encounter between Gates
Kimball and Citadel's Max Young, two
football gentlemen who met early in
the fall under different circumstances.
Kimball is the whispered sensation of
the ring who learned his fighting in
the Navy and who has shown himself,
in sparring matches, to be the most
polished boxer at Carolina in many
- i t j
a year, tie awn t ngnt last season as
expected, but for the past month the
200-pounder has mixed with the big
gest and toughest men Ronman could
scare up for him.
Young is no infant. He's a bruising
fellow, ambidextrous in throwing hard
punches, whose forte is slugging it out.
In Kimball, he meets an opponent who
knows boxing from the canvas up, a
led who has the proper proportion of
skill mixed with old-time powerhouse
blows.
Other high spots of the evening
should be in the 127-, 145-, and 175
pound classes.
Dick Bagnal, Citadel ring captain at
127, lost a close decision to Andy Gen-,
nett last year, and the return engage
ment will find both boys much improv
ed boxers. Gennett didn't lose a dual
match the whole of last season, and is
regarded by Ronman as one of the
cleverest fighters on the team. Ed
Dickerson, senior 145-pounder, goes
against Louis Lempesis, a sophomore
at Citadel who learned his trade in
Golden Glove fighting.

Kreisler Enjoys
Arranging Music
Of Old Masters
Fritz Kreisler, world famous vio
linist who will appear in concert on
the stage of Memorial hall Tuesday
night at 8:30, has done much to en
large the violin repertoire of recent
years.
For years, he spent part of each
summer delving into the libraries of
Italy and France unearthing violin
music written by masters of the 17th
and 18th centuries, music that had re
mained obscure for a long time. Much
of this he arranged for modern pro
grams, and today few violin concerts
are given that do not contain some se
lection of Fritz Kreisler.
Kreisler believes that every profes
sional is at heart an amateur and that
the amateur gets more out of his music
than the professional. Also, he con-
