Withdraw From Crete Battle
Nazi Transports
Routed By British
' LONDON, May 22 (UP) Britain
tonight surrendered to the Nazi Luft
waffe's control of the sky over Crete
where German efforts to land Panzer
reinforcements from the sea were said
to have been shattered by British war
ships which sank several heavily laden
transports and a destroyer.
Masses of air-borne Nazi shock
troops tumbling down upon the stra
tegic island in constant clouds have oc
cupied Crete's largest city, Candia, and
established at least two aerial bridge
heads for the landing of reinforce
ments from transport planes, it was
admitted.
Britain's battered fighter planes
were withdrawn from the battle of
Crete because, as Prime Minister Win
ston Churchill told the House of Com
mons, their bases had been shattered
by massed Stuka dive-bombing.
The withdrawal of the RAF fighter
squadrons from Crete because of "pro
nounced disadvantages" cleared the
sky for 40,000 German air troops re
ported poised on the Greek mainland
to join an estimated 20,000 Nazi in
vaders already battling on the rugged
island.
The British, Greek, and German
forces on Crete are locked in a grand

Governor Stresses
Progressive Sports
Ominously warning that "we are in
the midst of an episode in history
which is going to test not only the
physical power of youth, but the fibre
of older hearts and our capacity for
fortitude and endurance," Governor
J. 31. Broughton last night asked an
awards night audience in Emerson
field to stand by Carolina's "tradition
of aid in time of peace, preparation,
and war." . , . "
Broughton, insisted that he was
here not as Governor, or chairman of
the board of trustees, but "as const!
tutional admiral of the North Caro
lina navy," praised the NROTC unit,
and said that he "would Eke to see it
continued and amplified for the use
of more students."
UNC In History
Referring to "the historic part
which Carolina has played in the his
tory of the nation," the Governor- re
minded his listeners of the Univer
sity's answer to the country's need
"Here am I, send ine." Then "Go
forth and win peace and freedom and
democracy."
Turning to athletic achievements
during the past year, Broughton de
clared that "we have had what is
probably the greatest athletic year in
our history," and hinted that the
loudspeakers might carry his voice to
"a place not many miles from here."
Progressive Athletics
"Progressive' athletics should, reach
and touch" the life of every, studeht,"
Broughton emphasized, as he urged
the crowd to participate in sports.
Quoting the maxim "not, hast thou
won but hast thou striven" he point
ed out the importance of good sports
manship. The Governor, connecting athletic
activity with the present world situa
tion, reminded the applauding crowd
that "his strength is as the strength
of ten because his heart is pure, and
thrice armed is lie who has his quarrel
just."

Graham Warn
President Salutes
UNC 'Selectees'
Lashing out at the dictators, declar
ing that "on this awards night, shak
ing with the fate of continents, we see
beyond the selectees of the University
the selectees of the nation," President
Frank Graham last night challenged
Carolina students in Emerson field to
"seize the waiting time as working
time."
. "America has made her choice on
the side of freedom and we will sup
port that choice with all that we have,
are, and hope to be," Dr. Graham said.
"Beyond self, team, University, state
and nation, . is the cause of human
liberty in this, the world's darkest
hour, with its backwash of totalitarian
tyranny and terror from the waves of
the past and with its forward call to
the humane hopes of mankind for free
do mwithin the nations and for the r
ganization of peace among the nations,
of the world."
Calling , the award-winners "selec
tees," he reminded them that "In ap
preciation of both democracy and ex
cellence, this occasion is the Univer
sity's ceremony of selection and
awards of honor. In this air of free
dom you have already selected your
self. You have already chosen to
develop a higher self, above the power
and pull of a lower self."
"The University occasion of awards
to "Carolina students for honors
achieved in the freedom to struggle
for the higher development of lie in
dividuates a part of, the freedom to
struggle for freedom now at stake in
the world," the President stated.
" . . . we can have democracy without
vulgarity and excellence without arro
gance." In a final salute to "the selectees of
the University and the selectees of the
nation," Dr. Graham urged them' to
"always chose their higher selves and
give themselves to a cause above them
selves." White spotlights beamed down, on
the 18 major winners after Dr. Graham
spoke, as Dean R. B. House announced
the recipients while Dean F. F. Brad
shaw, Coach Bob Fetzer, Frank A.
Daniels, and student leaders presented
the honors.
The effervescent Kay Kyser led
John Scott Trotter's band in a rousing,
swincopated Yackety Yack yell that
stirred the spirits of the students till
the crowd started screaming with de
light and stamping their feet as hard
and as loud as they could.

year of a romance language (fresh

Salute to Event
A combination of political, literary,
and musical talent combined last night
in' Emerson field to cause a wildly
cheering crowd of 2000 students to
stamp approval on a new, streamlined
awards night. With Governor Brough
ton, President Frank Graham, the
band, the NROTC, and a coast-to-coast
broadcast keeping the stepped-up pro
gram moving, the stands rocked with
applause. ' '
Event Snappy
Fred Weaver, chairman of arrange
ments, didn't spare the whip as the re
vitalized event opened with music by
the band; swept through a review of
the NROTC; paused for speeches by
the Governor and President Graham;
rollicked through a radio salute to
Carolina; and ended with the presen
tation of coveted campus awards.
Storms of approval, followed ad
dresses by Governor Broughton and
President Graham as students, seem
ingly sensed the significance of the
two speeches.
Kyser's Salute
"Hello students, hoVre you all?"
Kay Kyser. Then for fifteen laugh
choked minutes, the speakers' plat
form, the crowded stands, and the
honor winners joined Kyser, John
Scott Trotter, Connie Boswell, Bing
Crosby, and Bob Bums by radio.
Clowning over a . Hollywood-style
Yackety Yack yell, recalling Carrboro,
campus bands, and the cheerios, the
"ol professor" saluted awards night
and, with Trotter, sang their new
"Congalina." '
The expectant stands hushed briefly
before each award as the roll of honor
was "caUedV Mangum medal for excel
lence in debate, oratory, and scholar
ship to Edward Kantrbwitz. The
Alexander prize in Greek to Thomas
Deering, Jr. Bryan prize in political
science -to Lewis Williams. 'The Bing

Exhibit Includes
Modern French Art.
More than mere ethereal satisfac
tion has been gained by one student
exhibiting his work in the fifth an
nual University of North Carolina art
students' show, currently being ex
hibited at Person hall art gallery.
Hight Moore, sophomore from
Statesville, has accepted a summer
job as instructor of art at the Blue
Ridge art colony, as a result of an
offer made by one of the - directors
of the colony who saw and admired
Hight's water colors. "This boy is a
professional artist," the director said.
Where is he? I'd like to get him to -
teach at our school." And he did.
"These student artists come out of
your classes, with whatever habits
and experiences you have, and they
paint pictures that you would paint
if you painted pictures," John V.- All-
cott said in speaking of the artists ex
