Carolina to Play. Host to Sudamericanos
South Americans
Will Come Here
During January
By Bob Levin
Chapel Hill will again bid "Saludos
Sudamerkans" to 60 professors, mas
ters, students, and professional men
from every country in South Ameri
ca, as they open their doors for the
second consecutive good will program
and Summer School to be held from
January 15 to February 26. -
Begun last year with the approval
of the Pan American Union, this com
pletely successful program will be re
peated this year under the supervision
of Dr. Sturgis E. Leavitt and Dr. J.
Corriden Lyons, romance department
instructors and director and executive
secretary, respectively, of the Insti
tute of International Education of the
University.
Smaller Group
The group this year, according to
Lyons, will be cut from last year'
total of 150 to less than half. Only
60 representatives, selected on a popu
lation basis by a separate committee
for eech South American republic,
will be here for the six weeks session.
Better Conditions
This move was deemed necessary
by the Universities International Edu
cation Department, due to last years
crowded conditions both in the class
room and out in town. It is felt that
better teaching facilities can be pro
vided for smaller groups. This re
duction will also alleviate the some
what crowded rooming situation of
last year, as the Carolina Inn, offic
ial hostelry for the summer school
group, only has a limited number of
room3""avaflab"Ie, other than those for
its regular trade.
Present Aim

Oil Corporation
Offers New Posts
To Carolina Men
From the Socony-Vacuum Oil Com
pany, Standard Oil affiliate, came a
request yesterday addressed to S. W.
J. Welch, University vocational di
rector, asking for interviews with Car
olina seniors interested in joining the
corporation's far-flung foreign service.
The letter: ". . . our vacancies are
limited to foreign service, the actual
openings being in our South China
division and in India.
, Students interested purely in for
eign accounting must have accounting
as a college major. Men desiring
straight marketing need not have any
special type of college training, al
though we assume that he is primari
ly interested in foreign marketing
work."
Welch, calling for applicants, asked
students willing to apply, to see him
at his South building office before
the Christmas holidays. The company
representative will probably be in
Chapel Hill on January 15.

essarily take place.

University Club
Sparks Campaign
To Raise Money
University Club members made their
first concerted drive last night to
raise self-help funds as independent
organizations rushed to contribute
funds and volunteer aid in the two-day
old drive.
Funds ranging from $1,000 down
were proffered as campus determina
tion rose to raise the $8,300 necessary
to offset the recent NYA budget cut.
Chairman of the Student Entertain
ment committee, E. H. Hartsell, in
dicated last night that the $1,000
that the committee annually turns
back to self-help students for enter
tainment tickets would be given to
the self-help drive. He stated that
in the past the committee has turned
back about $330 at the beginning of
each quarter to individual students,
and claimed he .visualized no objec
tions from other committee members,
should the procedure be changed due
to present circumstances. The Enter

Now Fouth 4ids
Some communities have their Community Chests.
It's always a sound policy to carry on work relief and jobs
for young people going to school through a government subsidy.
When the government fails, however, in its task of meeting the
needs of the people, the people can either demand that the gov
ernment do something about it, or remedy the situation them
selves. By January 10 of the bright new year, 75 University students
won't be feeling so bright. The abrupt curtailment of their col
lege educations will be facing them. For, when the NYA funds
are cut down, they will not be able to continue in school.
To get the government to take back its order to cut the NYA
would be like trying to tell one of those big army tanks to stop
to look over the little .autumn leaf that it has crushed. There
simply isn't a single chance that the Bureau of the Budget
will change its mind.
Hence, it is up to the student body and the faculty and even
the town-folk to see to it that the 75 students can remain in
school. All of us must dig just a bit deeper than usual and con
tribute to the cause of making education safe- for needy Ameri
can students.
In a time when we are spending billions for arming our na
tion against an aggressor, it is necessary that we build strong
fiber to resist the threat to democracy from within. To meet the
test of building a really free post-war world, and even to win the
war, we need men and women who are strong-willed and in
telligent, people who have had the influence of college educa
tions. That's why we all should contribute to the cause of raising
over $8,000 to make up for the NYA deficit here on the campus.
Men and women in other communities throughout the land are
carrying on similar drives.
Make our future a strong one by keeping the spark of free
education alive today. Keep the NYA students in school.
Piano Waxings
Artists Are Distinguished
For Top-Flight Recordings
One of the most distinguishing features of Arthur Whittemore and Jack
Lowe, duo-pianists who make their debut here tomorrow night at Memorial hall,
is the transcription of their music.
The familiar adage "Necessity is the mother of invention," might well be
applied as a preface to their work as transcribers. Combining their" composition
talents, for which they have gained
recognition, Whittemore and Lowe
have spent hours at the piano listen
ing, and balancing to lay the founda
tion for the core of their work. They
have solved the problem of the scarcity
of fine two-piano arrangements. The
whole field of music literature is at
their disposal as two piano material,
simply through their own transcribing.
Over 90 Records
At present the number of their tran
scriptions is over 90, and at least two
or three are added for each recital.
Night Club Singer
Madame Elsie Houston, top-flight
night club singer and concert artist, is
also brought to the Chapel Hill public
tomorrow night by the Student Enter
tainment commiftee.
When the Latin American artist
sings one of the jungle songs ior which

she is internationally famous, she cre
ates an almost terrifying effect by
singing to candlelight. Perhaps the
reason for the genuine emotion created
by the singer and shared by the audi
ence is the fact that Madame Houston
knows what she is singing about. She
is a" student of "macumbas" and "caB
dobles," a Brazilian's version of voo
doo or fetishist religion.
