By The Sfaff For Thi Issue: News: HAYDEN CARRUTH Sports: MARK GARNER o Americanism A Definition (Editor's note: When drums beat, when there is war, we are prone to pause, and say, "What is this Americanism?" The question is difficult; there are many answers. Our own the late Thomas Wolfe, who edited this paper during the last war, and who is one of the outstanding writers of our time wrote thi as his "CrrJo," in the closing paragraphs of his novel, "You Can't Go Home Again.") I believe that we are lost here in America, but I believe we shall be found. And this belief, which amounts now to the catharsis of knowledge and conviction, is for me and I think for all of us not only our own hope, but America's everlast ing dream. I think the life which we have fashioned in America, and which has fashioned us the forms are made, the cells that grew the honeycomb that was created was self-destructive in its nature, and must be destroyed. I think these forms are dying, and must die, just as I know that America and the people in it are deathless, undiscovered, and immortal, and must live. I think the true discovery of America is before us. I think . the true fulfillment of our spirit, of our people, of our mighty and immortal land, is yet to come. I think the true discovery of our own democracy is still before us. And I think that all these things are certain as the morning, as inevitable as noon. I think I speak for most men living when I say that our America is Here, is Now, and beckons on before us, and that this glorious assurance is not only our living hope, but our dream to be accomplished. I think the enemy is here before us, too. But I think we know the forms and faces of the enemy, and in the knowledge that we know him, and shall meet him, and eventually must conqueriim, is also our living hope. I think the enemy is here before us with a thousand faces, but I think we know that all his faces wear one mask. I think the enemy is single selfish ness and compulsive greed. I think the enemy is blind, but has the brutal power of his blind grab. I do not think the enemy was born yesterday, or that he grew to manhood forty years ago, or that he suffered. sickness and collapse in 1929, or that we began without the enemy, and that our vision fal tered, that we lost the way, and suddenly were in his camp. I think the enemy is old as Time, and evil as Hell, and that he has been with us from the beginning. I think he stole our earth from us, destroyed our wealth, and ravaged and de spoiled our land. I think he took our people and enslaved them, that he polluted the fountains of life, took unto himself the rarest treasures of our own possession, took our bread and left us with a crust, and, not content, for the nature of the enemy is insatiate tried finally to take from us the crust. I think the enemy comes to us with the face of innocence and says to us: , "I am your friend." I think the enemy deceives us with false words and lying phrases, saying: See, I am one of you I am one of your children, your son, your brother, and your friend. Behold how sleek and fat I have become and all because I am one of you shaped in your way of life, of thinking, of accomplishment. What I am, I am because I am one of you, your humble brother and your friend. Behold," cries the enemy, "the man I am, the man I have become, the thing I have accomplished and reflect. Will you destroy this thing? I assure you that it is the most precious thing you have. It is yourselves, the projection of each of you, the triumph of your individual lives, the thing that is rooted in your blood, and native to your stock, and in herent in the traditions of America. It is the thing that all you may hope to be," says Enemy, "for " humbly " am I not one of you? Am I not just your brother and your son? Am I not the living image of what each of you may hope to be, would wish to be, would desire for his own son? Would you destroy this glorious incarnation of your own heroic self? If you do then," says Enemy, "you destroy, yourselves you kill the thing that is most gloriously American, and in so kill ing, kill yourselves." He lies! And now we know he lies! He is not gloriously, or in any other way, ourselves. He is not our friend, our son, ovr trot her. And he is not American! For, although he has a thousand familiar and convenient faces, his own true face is as eld as Hell. ' Look about you and see what he has done. Before I go, I have just one more thing to tell you: Impressions of a Cub Reporter: President Graham smiling and hand shaking on Franklin Street last even ing. The newsboys profiteering on the War. Sign in K Dorm: Watch your language please, I have girls' pictures all over the room. The fragrance of good food as you pass the Franklin Street bakery. The musician cleaning his instrument with silk-unmention ables. The patriotic old-timer solemn ly saluting the flag waving from a pass ing auto. The eager Tar Heel new comer making the rounds of the of fice . . . willing to take anything. The coeds who decorate the campus . . . wait ing for their dates. The Blitz-lunchers wolfing a coke and a sandwich. The large increase of visitors to the Libra ry at night ... to keep warm. The dizzy couple glipping a glop uptown. The coed with the champagne hair. The local police conducting quiet in vestigation concerning the current crime wave. The haunted-house-look of the Library at dawn. The giddy coeds rushing to the matinees usually a foursome hogging the sidewalk. O Portrait of a Man Thinking: Japan's newspapers want to elimi nate all foreign words. They'll have a h - -1 of a time if they forget the word for help. Idea for financial Killing: Put all men on one island all coeds on another then go into boat business. O Cable to Emperor of Japan: God save America God help you. So you know everything: What's happened to Lind bergh? O CORRECTION: War nerves ami general confusion caused ns to make a mistake in the Keyboard ycrtcrday that is sincerely regretted. In the criti cism of Senator Nye, Senator Wheeler's name somehow got into print in place of Nye's. Wheeler has demonstrated his loyalty to the government by pledg ing his absolute support to the Presi dent and he is to be admired as much as Nye is to be censored. M.

Mac Lane, (President, Freshman Class): In the long run it favors, an Allied victory, I think, but, because the Germans have the upper hand now, the French Government at pres ent finds it preferable to play along with the Germans. Carrington Gretter, (President, De bate Council): I think the French Government is 99.9 per cent German. John McCormick, (Sec.-Treas., Stu dent Body) : Although all the high of ficials of the French Government are working for what they believe to be the best interests of France, some feel that France would be better off with a British victory, while others feel that France's fate lies with a victor ious Germany. Mary Elizabeth Nash: I thinlc the French Government favors an Allied victory, for it hopes to be able to re build into a prosperous and important nation once more. DUitr- by United Fesiare Syndicate. In. Art in a Garbage Dump Coed Reacts to Exhibit Of Unique Mexican Art By Nancy Smith must see the picture to imagine the I never thought of a garbage dump story it tells. He also has a print, as a suitable thing to include in a pic- "Vendedora" which is not deep but is ture until I saw Orozco's "Basureros" worthy of note, because it is a study in at the exhibit of Mexican prints which patterns. Paredes is a pupil of Oroz opened Sunday afternoon at 12 o'clock co's. in Person hall. Wherever the artists have taken ma terial from Mexico and used it as in the picture of the garbage dumps or merchants or the photographer, the pictures are forceful and alive. When copying European subjects, the prints The only artist in the show is Vel asquez Cueto, who held an exhibit of tapestry in Paris. Her print "Cuant ta" shows a village in a jungle-like country. The houses are odd things looking like beehives set on thir small ends, and the trees are tropical. Al- are weak. Most of these prints are not ' though the scene looks odd and unusual, what we call "pretty" they are com mon subjects presented with no gilt and often a certain amount of carica ture but they are interesting, alive and in some respects superior to Amer ican prints because they reach below the surface of things. The most important artist is Orozco, who painted the garbage dump and the scavengers who live in or near it in little paper box shacks. Another rea son for the importance of his work is that he represents the phases of Mexi can life in his prints more vividly than a photographer. His "Women", an ex ample of this, shows the camp followers it serves to bring home the fact that Mexico really is a tropical country. "Desnudos Femininos" by Vasquez is an odd print because in the lower right corner is a tiny figure; This stands for the artist's signature; it is his trademark. This idea was taken from an old Mayan sign. Speaking of ancient things, there are some prints by Montenegro, who has been an arch eologist. The facial types represented were taken from ruins and the style he uses is perfect. Vasquez also has a picture reminis cent of the Women's Christian Temper- ence Union campaign. It is called "El of the Revolutionary army. In many Alcoholico" and depicts a drunken man cases these women fought like men. His "War", condensed from a huge mural, to me is a jumble of junked cannon and grotesque faces. War and revolution has left its mark on other artists too. Mendez, who copied European methods but used Mexican models in his print "Camisa Dorada," depicts the Fascist menace in Mexico. This print reminds me of the bitter, ironic war cartoons appear ing on the editorial pages of American papers, but great skill in drawing and technique is shown. The prints of Dosamantes are to me the most lovely and satisfying ones in the show. His subjects are not deep and powerful but for sheer charm there is ho print better than his "Seated Women." It simply shows three women sitting, backs toward us, with long pig tails. Also pretty is his "Group of Women." ' In direct contrast to these aesthetic prints of women is Paredes' "Two Girls." The gloomp tones of the print, the deep dull despair on the faces of the two exceptionally ugly girls and the careless way one holds a doll tell a story more vividly than words. You lying in the gutter, a grotesque figure hovering in the background and a good Samaritan bending over the man. Be hind the white-robed Samaritan we can see the swinging doors' of the Club Nocturno. I could not stop without mention of a print called "Faena" which left a strong impression of power and strength with me." It shows men work ing in the fields of a hot, harsh land, different from the tropical one Velas quez Cuerto pictured, with sharp an gled mountains in the background.

Mexican is drinking water from a jug. The odd thing is that Ramirez gets across his impression of strength by drawing all the men with big square feet. Some other prints worth seeing are Avila's "Portrait of a Girl"; she is not a pretty girl either. Then there is -Escobado's "The Photographer," a scene you might find in America, and Orozco's "Zapatistas", a study of Mexi can hats not to mention the political impulses that dictated the picture. There are also many more prints as good or better than the ones I have mentioned. Running through the exhibit is the love of grotesque, some fine composi tion, and caricature. The whole show is unified and dominated by movements of political and social importance. The Mexicans are way ahead of us because their art is intended for the people. Most of the pictures are prints See COED REACTS, page U Some'h'no; has spoken to me in the night, burning the fapers of the wan;ng year; something has spoken in the night, and tolrl me that I shall die, I know not where."
