For This News: SYLVAN MEYER More Spanish The University is keeping pace with the current Ameri can interest in our South American, neighbors. One such indication of this is the fact that the University is one -of a group selected for a "sum- ; mer school" of South American students during the winter quarter. "The Chapel Hill school," says the Alumni Review, "first of its kind to be sponsored in North America, will bring to North Carolina a group of 100 advanced students and schol- ' ars from several Latin Ameri can countries for lectures, short courses and observation trirjsSponsoring agencies se lected the University after carefully studying colleges and universities in the United States." Here is another indication that the University, progres sive institution that it is, is ever on the alert in pioneering worthwhile enterprises. The Daily Tar Heel, want ing to throw its chip on the fire, has this suggestion to make: Why couldn't the teach ing of Spanish be emphasized more than it now is? Under the present General College set-up, freshmen are required to take a foreign language. They, also take mathematics or, as an alternative, Latin or Greek. Why not continue the foreign language require ment, and add Spanish to the Latin or Greek" alternative group? Many are the students who fear mathematics, but even more they shake in their boots at the thought of study ing Latin or Greek for a year. If they were permitted to take Spanish as an alternative to mathematics many of them in a few years would find that this phase of their General College education actually had prac tical value, r t (By Associated Collegiate Press) "War is the most heroic perform ance of a nation . .

Why , have three lights in use at night while you're down the hall in a four-hour bull ses sion?. Why leave a faucet run ning half the day ? , There are no reasons. It is just a matter of carelessness. Steele dormitory and its presi dent, Coleman Finkel, realized this and suggested that they be given whatever money they save in water and light bills to be turned into a dormitory permanent improvements fund. University officials glad ly consented. But there are corresponding wastes in other dormitories. Steele is by no means alone in haying its lights burning throughout the day. You find the same situation in any other dormitory on the cam pus. Result : having to ap propriate $35,011 a year for dormitory heat, water, and lights, the budget' commission allowed only $3,690 for new equipment in the buildings. If less money had been needed for these services, it would have meant more for better desks, wall bookracks, better beds, study lamps, and com fortable desk chairs for the dormitory residents. The need for these improve ments, like the individual care lessness, is universal. Steele needs better furniture and equipment for its social rooms ; other dormitories do also. Steele realized it was wasting away an opportunity to obtain these things; so it decided to use the initiative of its resi dents. Other dormitories, with the same determination, could accomplish the same results. Puppy Finds Water Despite Brick Walks No mere mechanical contrivance can outwit a smart puppy.

Last night you got nine hours sleep after see ing the movie, A A - 4- Down Argentine Way," prescribed to you by your coach. Light and frothy, it was chosen instead of "Knute Rockne," starring Pat O'Brien, because the latter might increase your nervous ness. You turn out your lights and a student manager gives a final tuck to the covers at 10 p. m.,,at the latest. This same manager knocks on your door at 7:30 this morning, and sees that you get out of bed. The fact that you are al ready awake and playing the game in your mind, does not .prevent the rap on the door. At 8:30 a. m., you tuck away a big breakfast, all you can eat. Steak, baked potatoes, eggs, all sorts of fruit juices, and more steak are set before you. Several years ago players used to eat breakfast at 8:30, and at 11:30 have a light lunch of a little roast beef, toast and tea. But this midmorning meal was abandoned when coaches found thatf the regulars : couldn't swallow from nervousness, and that the only players who ate were the substitutes who had nothing on their minds. Breakfast over, you take a walk to loosen your muscles. Then, with your mind cleared by the exercise, you go into a room of the hotel and have the final points of attack and defensedrilled into you once again. If you happen to be a quarterback you go from this meeting to still another, where your coach stresses once more field positions, defensive and offensive strategy, and weak and strong points of the opposition, and urges you to keep cool under fire. " . By this time it , is nearly 11 o'clock, and the trainer tapes and binds your ankles and fortifies any of the weak points. Then, still in your street clothes, but with your shirt open and dressed most casual ly, you get in a bus, and go to the football field. , You have time leisurely to put on your uniform. There isn't a sound in the dressing room. No more talk ing, no more advice! Then you go to the field, with your stomach , turn ing over within you, and run through Previous Puzzle called Prince of w 15 His s name Is Mari Pia. 17 To set apart 18 Senior. 21 Devoutnesses. 22 Snapping .turtle. 24 Imperfections. 26 More capable. 23 Above: 29 Illuminated. 31 Bronze. 32 South Africa. 33 Moon valley.

While you are doing this, the coach is talking with the officials, giving them any trick plays he has, discussing the fast-breaking play which might run into them if they are not forewarned. You are back in the dressing room fifteen minutes before game time. To an outsider, the silence of the room is like that of a sanctuary. The comradeship of men engaged in a common conflict is bred at this time. A guard, who will work with a tackle, puts his arm around you and whispers, "They can't lick us today, Butch." Not until this quiet communion among the players is finished does the coach speak again. If the team is ready, he sends it out with just a -'Let's get going, fellows." If the team is low or dispirited, he does anything he can to lift it up. When a team is hot, the coach does not block the door when the field judge gives his two-minute warning. . "Kids will run right over you in their eagerness to get out and start knocking," coaches say. And believe me all coaches hope their teams will go out on the field in that spirit today. Because if the team does, it can't lose. SADIE HAWKINS t (Continued from first page) and aren't too happy about the pros pect, come along and you can switch partners along with the others.

WortK Mepeatinfl Fight for What? If America goes to war, it will be to defend "American liberties." That, at least, will be what the ma jority of Americans will believe to be true, even if less altruistic mo tives are hidden behind the scenes. American liberties are worth fighting for, but do Americans really know what they are ? Do Ameri cans, do the students at the Univer sity of Mississippi, really believe in them and sincerely attempt to prac tice them in their personal life?

Beale, History Department. Dear Sir: ' While the devil probably would not give more than a dime a head for members of my generation, it is still gratifying to see faculty mem bers, Dr. Godfrey and you, attempt ing to raise our worth. Perhaps the outstanding vice virtue of the pre-war generation is this, that it distrusts abstractions and asks for direct statements and planning. Your letter commenting on pacifism, while brilliant in the abstract, had some of the faults of Dr. Godfrey's allusions to "spiritual values." The Ten-Cent Generation wants its water without mud. You and I, and all Americans, are most concerned today with whether or not democracy will survive, and whether or not America will have to fight to maintain democratic liv This Collegiate (By Associated Collegiate Press) A student at Eastern New Mex ico college has applied to Mrs. J.

"We want student help," Mrs. Richardson said as she announced a campus committee which will cooperate with the town group in enlisting con tributors. . On the committee are Dave Morri son, representing University student government, Dorothy Pratt, president of the Pan-Hellenic council, Elizabeth Huntley, assistant to the adviser to women, and Tempe Newsome, YMCA secretary. Funds collected by the agency are used primarily for hospital equipment including X-rays, medicines and mobile feeding units which care for 300 to 400 people. The Chapel Hill committee is work ing towards a goal of one mobile feed ing unit at a cost of $1,500. : Membership in the organization may be bought for $2.00, but donations of any size are welcomed, according to Mrs. Richardson.

Are people who unconsciously voice anti-Semitisms and treat the negro as a lower animal proper guardians" of American freedom? Can they attack Hitler's persecution, of minorities with clean hands ? American society cannot be over hauled into perfection overnight as a means of defense against those forces which threaten to destroy its traditional bulwarks. But Ameri cans can come to a realization that every denial of our liberties, ho-sr-ever slight is a blow at our de fense.

You stated President Roose velt is "determined to follow the war method." You condemn the at titude we have that Hitler's force must be met with force. You say "Let's not, then, give up to the forces of destruction because sanity and humanity are 'impractical.'" I believe some of us think sanity and humanity are quite practical. I believe the majority of Americans are propeace (as evidenced by the recent Gallup poll of an 86 ma jority against our intervention irr the war). But to sit back impas sively, without preparing to meet any possible disaster, is not part of the temperament of our high-strung generation though we strenuously work for peace. Also, is there any other alterna tive? Your abstractions inferred but never stated the likelihood of a better course. Respectfully yours, Simons Roof. W orld the next morning.
