On February 23, 1893, a four-column sheet of announcements and ar ticles was rolled off a tottering press, and VoL 1, No. 1 of the Tar Heel was distributed about the campus. Today the six-column daily will commemorate the occasion with a touch of sadness. For 12 years it delighted in the slogan, "The only college daily in the south." Last , year, in recognition of Texas, this was changed to "The only college daily in the southeast." Today, on our 48th birthday, in recognition of Virginia and Louisiana, we christen the paper "The oldest college daily in the South." - Aims Of SDD To Be-Heard Clement To Speak To Student Body To "introduce the aims and methods of the Student Defenders of Democ racy," Miss Patricia Clement will speak to the student body in an open J chapel tomorrow morning at 10:30.

And although the Duke relayists muffed their chance of stopping Carolina, Wise, Billy Groves, Roy Cathey and Dave Morri son outfought a strong Maryland quar tet to score the points that left Caro lina in the lead by 40 l-3-to-38 1-6. All else in the all-day track carni val was temporarily forgotten as the 12th annual Southern Conference In door Games grew toward its close and Duke remained ahead by virtue of its early-evening victories. After Dave Morrison had won the half-mile, when only two events remained, Carolina trailed by only five-sixths of a point. - Tommy Fields' triumph in the two mile, after winning the Lionel Weil mile with little difficulty, was ex pected, but Duke stretched that frac tional advantage by two full points when Windy Lockwood, sophomore standout, ran a close second, Archie Adams of Wake Forest ran third, and Wimpy Lewis of Carolina finished fourth. ; Then came the relay. "Ed Sargent, although ho had competed only in the afternoon and - had been disqualified then for twice jumping the gun in hurdle trials, tightened up in the mid dle of his race and left' Duke com pletely out of the race.' Wise took the lead for Carolina, and Co-captain Groves, Cathey, a junior, and Co captain Morrison pulled away into a margin of some 20 yards. That was after Morrison had won the 880; al though not very hard pressed, in the above-average time of 1:57.2. The Tar Heels trailed in team score from the opening of the meet, but the mile relay saved them. The time of 3:30.8 compared very favorably with some of the best relays ever seen in the See 'LITTLE HOT Page 5 Euhn To Deliver Human Relations Lecture Monday Professor Helmut Kuhn of the phi losophy department will deliver the second and final lecture in his series on "Freedom And The Restoration of Human Relations," tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in Gerrard Hall. ' The lectures by Professor 'Kuhn, visiting - professor in -the philosophy department, are being given as part of the series on "Freedom In The Present World Crisis" being sponsor ed by the department. Taught in Berlin Professor Kuhn taught philosophy at the University of Berlin and was one of the most distinguished German philosophers during the Nazi domina tion of Germany. After two years in England, he came to the United States to hold a research fellowship in phi losophy. Tomorrow night he will develop his positive view of freedom, which he sums up as follows, "It is not enough to defend freedom against ag gression. Mere preservation will not do. Although the essence of freedom, the freedom of conscience, is immut able, it must be kept vital within an ever changing environment. A fresh vision of freedom in our world is needed, showing freedom as a. goal rather than as a possession."
