W. C. Clark at 7:15 in Memorial hall. Clark, aide to the executive officer of Carolina's training center, one of the four established units in the coun try, will answer all questions regard ing this branch of the extensive pre paredness program. Requirements and regulations con cerning the enlistment in one of the schools, typical to the unit here, will be outlined by Lt. Clark and full de tails of aviation training will be avail able. Main purpose of the three month program is the conditioning and in doctrination of students into real Na val fighters, who can fly and fight. This toughening process is the first step in the 13 month's training pre vious to commissioning as a pilot on fleet duty. Ground work and military work plus this physical program will highlight the training. Naval heads figured that every ca det who can save himself when forced down and return to the fight is worth a savings of $12,000 to the govern ment the cost of their training. By educating them in all fields of self defense and modern warfare, they will be better equipped to stand the strain of fighting. At the completion of the training, at one of the four centers through out the country, the graduates will be sent to one of 20 training schools where they will be commissioned as Ensigns in the US Naval Reserve. Any questions arising over the local unit will be answered by Lt.

Indications of a general campus Teachers Kill Student's. Enthusiasm,' Says Green Green Gives Third Philosophy Speech By Burke Shipley Professor Paul Green, in the third informal talk in a series of lectures sponsored by the Philosophy depart ment, said last night in his lecture Too many of our young people are saying farewell to their professors in this leafy spring to be, poorer than when they came. And poorer m the realest and most tragic way. They have lost all enthusiasm in the world about them." This situation is brought about, Pro fessor Green said, in his lecture "The Credo of the Artist," by the failure of the teachers to educate the students to think for themselves, to create things out of their own mind and spirit. "What the students want," Professor Green stated, "is not advice and a discouraging list of facts, but a recharge of feeling and wild fresh impulse that once were their in the earlier, fresher days something to live for, something to fight for, some thing to die for." By this Professor Green means enthusiasm in the things that have and are occurring about them. Continuing this thought, Professor Green chose different subjects taught to students today and showed how inadequately they prepare the students for what he thinks they should be Tirenared. These subjects present on ly the factual side, classify things ac- i i cording to a set system, ana DiCKer over minute points, without discussing the beauty and enthusiasm or the di rect relation to the students' lives of the various fields. Professor Green goes on to say "It is a terrible confession I am making for myself, but I fear as they look back on their college career they will find that we professors have done a great deal to kill whatever enthusiasm, whatever delight, whatever of beauty they used to see in the world." He emphasized that the college teachers of today have failed in the purpose of education by teaching students gen eralities and filling their minds with "dead discouragement, . miseducating them and making them unfit to face the world they live in with any real See GREEN, page U Second Year hall resembling the deck and bridge . . i er: ;n of a ship. Classrooms aim win.es wui complete the quarters. Captain Popham has tentative hopes of the group being given compulsory physical training which would resem ble the program given the Pre-Flight school though not as severe. Its main purpose would be to condition the stu dents before they join the fleet. A definite change will take place follow ing the return of the boys from their summer cruise with the juniors given more responsibility for the conduct of the corps. University heads realize the splen did work done by the group this year and all signs point to the continued growth and improvement of the unit into an integral part of molding the first line of defense. The Oldest College CHAPEL HILL, N. C TUESDAY, MAY 26, 1942 $200 Drive awakening were tstrengthened yester day with the promise of full support from University club members who will aid in the collection of campus contributions, which totaled $7.00 yes terday. "Every student is urged to contrib ute," said Hobbs, "in order to reach the goal." Town students are asked to use any one of the three boxes in Lenoir Dining hall, YMCA or the library to start the ball rolling. This is the first campus-wide drive for scholarship funds since 1932, de pression times, when over $110,000 was raised among students, alumni, faculty and friends of the University. "Student contributions are always needed to give momentum to any drive like this," Hobbs declared. Daily results of the drive will be published. All campus organizations will be approached by committeemen and asked to pledge full support. Trout, Mossman On Welfare Staff For Summer Term Bessie E.

Publications Chiefs Named Mag, Circulation Get Adler, Zaytoun Publications Union Board appointed Dick Adler as, literary editor of the new magazine and Henry Zaytoun as circulation manager of all student pub lications at the Board's meeting yes terday.

Also he was assistant editor of the Columbian, school news paper. Since attending Carolina, Adler has worked on the now-abolished Carolina Magazine, writing a good many ar ticles and features. r This year he has been on the editorial board of the maga zine and editor of picture spreads for several issues of the magazine.

Last year Adler was an assistant director of the radio studio. After being appointed Adler said, "In past years the literary stalf has al ways had its hands full trying to worm creative writing from the students. Next year we will try to stimulate more enthusiasm among students for liter ary work, so that we will have greater quantity as well as quality in writing that is turned in." Zaytoun, a rising junior from New Bern, has been acting circulation man ager of all student publications this year, having stepped into the post early in the fall quarter.

This ruling by Justice Jennings Bailey does not cut Carolina from the fight for the Ackland millions. The re port stated that Carolina's attorneys, Gardner, Morrison, Beddow and Rog ers will appeal the judgment this sum mer, possibly next month. Former Governor Oliver Max Gard ner, chief counsel for Carolina, stated late last night from his Washington hotel room that he had already filed a petition to appeal. The appeal will be taken up in a few months by the Cir cuit Court of Appeals "by five judges, not just one." "We have expected this move for several months. No action will be taken in distributing the fortune until the case is settled completely. "Carolina's chances are as strong as ever and so are Rollins'. The judg ment that ruled out the cy pres doc trine does not prevent our use of that point in further proceedings." The federal court held that the doc trine of cy pres, a legal code recogniz ing the intention of a will rather than its legal technicalities, does not apply either in the state of North Carolina or in Washington. The cy pres doc trine had been used as Carolina's chief claim to the money that Ackland in tended to give the money to a college and not to his relatives. Bailey's decision apparently also ex cluded Rollins college's claims to the money. Rollins has been fighting with Carolina to wrest the estate from Ack land's heirs. Carolina's lawyers already had been See ACKLAND, page U Sophs to Vote On Individual Y-Y Pictures Rising sophomores will vote tomor row on individual pictures of the class members in the 1943 Yackety-Yack in order that plans for the yearbook and plans for collecting fees may be made during the summer, class president Charlie Davis has stated. Voting places will be at the Y and in Lenoir Dining halL opening at 10:30 and continuing until the re quired number of rising sophomoTes have voted. The Publications Union Board re cently instituted the plan to save the glossy prints for the class sections this year to be used again next year. This plan will be put into effect next year, and students desiring different pictures in the yearbook will have to have new ones made at Wootten-Moul-ton at their own expense. Through this plan next year's soph omore, junior, and senior classes will save several hundred dollars. were out-of-state residents. Carefully estimating the yearly expenses at the University for a North Carolina resi dent, Lanier said the figure came to $540 and the student was able to aver age $18 monthly from NYA work. Parents of the NYAers annually average $1,430, Lanier said, and added that 152 parents own their own homes, the remaining 133 do not. Fifty-seven NYA students h.l scholarships valued at $5,250, while 66 borrowed a total of $9,656.99 from the University Loan fund. As a final item on his report, Lanier stated that 53 NYA students were do ing work other than University self help in an effort to make collegiate ex penses meet. 6905
