His topic was "Civil Eights and the Public Mind. "The present state of public mind is dangerous perilously close to the 1917 attitude, he declared, and ad monished college youth to "exert every intelligent effort to avert war propaganda.' Gardner expressed hos tility toward attempts of administra tion associates to "break down re sistance to war. The calm, smooth-talking labor leader spoke informally while holding a lighted cigarette in his hand con tinuously. He extolled . ClO bigwigs John L. Lewis and Sidney Hillman for their "honest determination to re sist any possible entry into war. These men, according to Gardner, strive to preserve true democracy in a dictatorship-mad world. At this juncture several students waited out of the auditorium. Speaker Attacks Martin Dies Gardner lashed out bitterly against the Dies committee on un-American activities and viciously attacked Mar tin Dies, describing him as "a pathe tic, bumbling, big, blustering with a bullish voice and bullish physique. He claimed that Die3 was the "guy around whom the majority of the representatives of the people in Con gress rally as an expression which may or may not defeat them in re elections.

"The Allies have been compelled, he said, "to withdraw their Andalsnes' landing base 100 miles southwest of Trondheim and abandon hones of storming the German stronghold from the south. In another startling statement he revealed that the British and French battle fleet, having badly wrecked Germany's small navy, has reached the eastern Mediterranean ready for action, if Italy should plunge into the war on the side of Germany. He urged the members of the. House of Commons, already grumbling against Chamberlain's conduct, to withhold their attacks until next Tues day when there will be a "full dress dtbate on the government war policy.

C FRIDAY, MAY 3,-1940 neeson;jensen DISCUSS FUTURE . FOR CHEMISTS Speakers Name Qualifications Needed Explaining the type of positions available to students of chemistry and physics, Dr. W. M. Neilson, and O. J. Jensen last night discussed "Oppor tunities for Jobs in the Field of Science" to a small group of students in Gerrard hall. Chairman of the physics depart ment of Duke University, Dr. Neilsen said, "The selection of a life work is a great responsibility." Often the student thinks after he has finished school that there were many things that should have been in the course of study which were left out and many things were left out that should have been in, he said. Dr. Neilsen listed three fields that the student of physics might go into. There is the opportunity of teaching the subject in schools and colleges, industrial research, and borderline physics, he explained. He said, how ever, not to expect much money in the teaching of the subject. Have a High Opinion of Yourself "It is a good idea to have a high opinion of yourself," he said. "We are going to see more and more of this borderline physics." He said that the student best pre pared would be the one to make the most headway after he finished school. If a student can find what he wants early in life he will have much bet ter .success, he concluded. O. J. Jensen, who has been with the DuPont company since 1933, took the side of chemistry after Dr. Neil sen finished his talk for physics and explained the great advancement that has been made since the World War. He said that some time ago "the sales and production department were looked down upon by college men.

Robertson -Mary Winslow Sponsors, and They're All Carolina Coeds Officers EMi Coiif ereiice Today; Code Student Council Says Honor Cases Show Decline The individual student's conscience was pointed out as the final bulwark of the honor code in an address by Dean R. B. House and in a cross-examination of the Student council at yesterday's luncheon meeting of the new officers' training conference. "I'm for the honor system, and I as sert that it is more competently ad ministrated in the hands of students. And a few cases of dishonesty cannot shake my faith in the premise on which the system was founded that most students are fundamentally decent," House said. Council Members Given Third Degree President Jim Davis, Vice-President Jack Fairley, and Secretary Charlie Wood were the council members who submitted to cross-examination. Dur ing this part of the meeting, figures on last year's code violation cases and estimates on this year's were given which tended to show that honor cases are on the decline both in number and gravity. Last year 115 cases were considered by the council with 20 re sulting in suspension. So far this year, one of the council members estimat ed, "about 60 or 70 cases have been tried and only 2 have resulted in sus pension." Time and again, in answering ques tions fired at them by the 115 student leaders at the banquet about policy and procedure in honor cases, council members emphasized that the effec tiveness of the honor system depended on individual students acting accord ing to their own convictions rather than according to set rules both in complying with the code and dealing with other students seen violating the code.

"It is quiet and pleasant in Paris now; the food is good, the American colony has its little dinners, coutouri ers continue to make their clothes. The war is never mentioned, and people are convinced that there will be no air raids." Mr. Grosser, an Alabaman who ma jored in mathematics at Harvard, then went to Paris in 1925 and made a name for himself as an artist, ; re turned to the United States in No vember to have a one-man. show at the Julian Levy art gallery in New York. ' ' "Paris' is in the middle of an ex panse of territory, and it would take German planes from 20 to 30 minutes to reach it time enough for the bal lon barricade to go up and the anti aircraft planes to prepare. The Ger mans also know that if Paris is bombed, Berlin will be, too. There are few street lights, equipped with shades that deflect the light down, so that the city is not completely dark," continued Mr. Grosser.
