False Impressions Disappear As Inter-Americans Talk fiver Mutual Ideas, Desires By Ernie Frankel To the heated beat of the congo and the hip-swaying rhythm of the rumba, 110 South American "good neighbors" have, in a week's timp arlrW "Rpaf Mp Daddv Eierht To A Bar" and "The 5tar Spangled Banner" and woven themselves into the typically American life of Chapel HilL Last week, to be a Latin American meant to be glossy-haired black-eyed, slow-moving, full of trophic rhythm. To be an Ameri can meant to be a gambler, a racketeer, an Indian, a cowboy, a Playboy, a football player, a movie star. There have been some changes. Sunday morning, when the main body of Latin Americans ar--ved in Durham, they had tasted metropolitan life. They had seen "the ach too tall buildings and vairee nize night clobs." Riding to Chapel Hill J7 bus, the visitors traded opinions. A striking brunette from Chile bubbled over with affection for Chapel HiH. "Eet eese so different from our own University.

Lindbergh today vigorously condemned President Roosevelt's pend ing lend-lease bill as another step to ward war and urged a negotiated peace as the best solution to the Euro pean conflict. (The famous flier told the House Foreign Affairs Committee which is holding hearings on the measure that he doubted the combined British and American forces would win the war unless there was an internal German collapse which he said was not yet in sight and he discounted threats of an Axis invasion of this hemisphere. The United States, he said, need have no fear of war if it minds its own business "and prepares reason ably." Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, columnist and former NRA administrator, who followed Lindbergh to the stand, shar ed the avaitor's views on the question of invasion. Then he warned: "If we are not careful, we are go ing to be in this war in thirty to ninety days, possibly on the west coast of Africa." "This is just another big jump down the avalanche way," Johnson said of the bill. "It is just like a snowball roll ing downhill. We had better be care ful." Lindbergh expressed unqualified op position to the measure, asserting it is "one more step away from democ racy" and "one step closer to war and I don't know how many more steps we can take and still be short of war."

Newspaper Editor Also Professor (Editor's note: Dr. Aurelio Miro Quesada, outstanding South Ameri can editor and head of the Peruvian delegation to Carolina's "summer school," here writes the first of a series of articles by prominent visiting journalists.) V " - - By Aurelio Miro-Quesada - I greatly appreciate this opportun ity to write a few words as head of the Peruvian delegation in attendance at the "summer courses" of the Univer sity of North Carolina. I am particularly pleased for two reasons to receive this invitation from the Daily Tar Heel. I am connected with a university and with a news paper. Although I am a professor in the University of San Marcos, I am at the same time in charge of the edi torial section of El Comercio, the most important daily in Peru. This double responsibility may per haps surprise some of you in the United States. But in South America, where the life is less intense, lines of specialization are not so clearly drawn and minutes seem to flow more slowly, these and other combinations of ac tivities are frequent. Furthermore, this is only following two paths that lead to the same end. The university and the press are united in all essentials. With the spoken word and with the written word the same longings are aroused and the same knowledge is diffused. The See MIRO-QUESADA, page U. Address Given At Banquet For Visitors Notables Attend Formal Opening Of Summer School Listing the "ignorance and indiffer ence of our people to Latin America" as the major barriers to closer rela tions and declaring that "the basis of friendship is understanding," Dr. John C. Patterson praised the work of the Inter-American institute here last night and urged the extension of knowledge about Latin America through the secondary schools to the masses, "to help us build soundly the basis for an Inter-American under standing." Dr. Patterson spoke at the recep tion and 400-plato dinner which marked the formal opening at the Uni versity of the "winter-summer school" for the first organized group of South American educators, business and pro fessional men and women to visit this country. Present were the 110 representatives of seven South American nations, giving the banquet hall the appearance of a miniature League of Nations. Governor and Mrs. J. M. Broughton and a number of other notables at tended the festivities, and Dr. Patter son, who is director of Inter-American Educational Relations in the United States Office of Education, a former delegate to the Lima conference, and one of the foremost authorities on Latin America, was the principal speaker and keynoter. Dean House-Presides President Frank P. Graham was to have presided, but was still confined to his home with influenza, and Ad ministrative Dean R. B. House took his -place. The program was arranged" by Harry Comer, secretary of the YMCA. After the South American students had been introduced and welcomed, the chairman of the delegation from each of the seven nations was recog nized for a word of greeting from his people.'

Student License Deadline Today All students operating automobiles on the campus who have failed to se cure licenses must get them today. They will be sold in the Y between 1 and 3 o'clock. "This is absolutely the final day," emphasized Aubrey Moore, chairman of the Student Safety committee. "We have given students plenty of time to get their licenses out of considera tion for the flu epidemic. However, students not having licenses after to morrow will have to answer to the Safety committee."

The University's South American visitors arrived earlier in the week and will get a first-hand view of the "American way." (Photo by Jack Mitchell). . - t By Mary Caldwell Teaching the English language to students who can speak less than a dozen words in English presents a problem yet the Basic English course now being offered South Ameri cans on the campus teaches them English without any explanations in their native tongue. In fact no Span ish is spoken in class. From the beginning even though some of the students know no English, some only a little all lessons are given in English. Dr. I. A. Richards, a fellow in Mag dalene college, Cambridge university, England, and now visiting lecturer at Harvard university, has spent the past week installing the course for the South Americans attending the "sum mer school" session. Originally three teachers, were in cluded in the program. But already, after only three days of preliminary classes, the course has proved so popu lar with the South American visitors that it has been necessary to send to Cambridge, Mass., for another instruc tor.
