'German Outrages'
On Polish People
By Jimmy Wallace
In commemoration of International
Student day and the "rebirth of the
rights of free people in all nations,"
the International Relations club last
night presented an address by Jan
Ciechanowski, Polish ambossador to
the United States.
Preceding the ambassador's speech
in Memorial hall a short introduction
of the speaker and an explanation of
International Student day was made
by Dr. Ervin Hexner of the University
Political Science department. Dr. Hex
ner declared that "the deeds which
Germany is committing on the peo
ples of Europe is an example of 20th
century barbarism."
Poland Fights On
Ciechanowski outlined the history of
Hitler's march across Europe, leaving
shattered Poland in his wake. "But,"
he declared, "Poland has not been
beaten by Hitler's legions. Even now
the reorganized Polish armed forces
are operating on various fronts
throughout the world. Even now the
Polish people carry on unbroken re-!
sistance, though it has cost the na
tion untold reprisals. "As examples he
gave such totals as "150,000 civilians
executed, 80,000 tortured to death in
concentration camps, 1,000,000 Jews
murdered, over 2,000,000 driven from
their lawful homes, and 1,700,000
sent to Germany for forced labor."
Race Extermination
Declaring that this is the first to
tal war ever to be waged, Ciechanow
ski said, "it is a tragedy that such
great suffering is being inflicted on
the human race, but it is a greater
tragedy that the war was ever allow-

Fraternity Men
To Join Forces
For Pledge Dance
In an effort to curtail unnecessary
wartime expenses and to avoid over
use of the one dance floor still avail
able for individual fraternity dances,

night in Woollen gymnasium.
The dance will feature the music of
Johnny Satterfield's orchestra and a
figure composed of all pledge class
presidents and their dates, House

Guy Byerly, social chairman for the
Council stated last night, "This is

UNC Marks 'University of Chile Day'
Carolina and Chile Have Long Been Friends
Close relationship with the Univer
sity of Chile is nothing new to stu
dents at Carolina. For the past sev
eral years a program of extensive ex
change has been an integral part of
relations between the two universities,
and through the exchange of student
periodicals and students themselves,
an invigorating stimulus for inter
American good will has developed.
Thirty-four Chileans were among
the group of South American students
who came to Chapel Hill in the win
ter of 1941-42 to spend six weeks study
ing the academic and social aspects of
the North American campus, and the
following summer 12 students from
Carolina spent one month visiting the
University of Chile and participating
in off-season courses. As a result of
these personal exchanges a broad and
far-reaching understanding has been
developing between the two institu
tions which should produce equally far
reaching results.
Literary exchange of student peri
odicals is giving impetus to a wide
spread interest in closer ties between
the Americas. By reading the Carolina
Mag and the Daily Tar Heel the stu
dents at the University of Chile are
coming to understand more fully the
attitudes prevalent on a Nortn Amen
can campus, and by the same medium
North American students are begin
ning to realize the full implications of
Latin-American culture and thought.
Since Chile was included among the
Latin-American nations allotted to our
University for study by the Rocke
feller foundation, the best collection of
Chilean books in the nation has been
assembled on our campus. A complete
f "Anales." a regular summary of
literary activity at the University of
Chile including the periods from 1846
through 1941, is one of the.rarest fea
tures of the collection .
Two Carolina graduates, Margaret
and Ruth Campbell, are now taking
specialized work at the University of
Chile. Mr. and Mrs. Guillermo G.
Rrnwn former students at the Uni-
xT-fiifv of Chile, are now visiting the
-
r'aT-nlinn campus.
The recent exhibition sent to the
TT.:; dr nf ! Chile from Carolina
stains an intimate view of the cam-
n through photographs of buildings,
students, and autographed books pub
iichd bv members of our faculty along
with a complete assortment of student
publications. Through this exhibit stu
dents at the University of North Caro
lina hope to revitalize and continue
their friendship of long standing with
the University of Chile.
20 U. S. Colleges
Join Celebration
The University of North Carolina
today joins 20 other leading North
American universities in the celebra
tion of "University of Chile Day" in
commemoration of the 100th anniver
sary of the founding of the Univer
sity of Chile in Santiago.
At the request of the State depart
ment and the National Education as
sociation of the United States, each
of the twenty North American univer
sities has prepared an exhibition of its
own campus life and activity which
will be featured today as a part of the
celebration program in the patios of
the Administration building of the
University of Chile for the benefit of
Chilean students interested in educa-
tionel methods and procedure and stu
dent life on the North American cam
pus. Included in these exhibitions are
photographs of the individual cam
puses, laboratories, athletic fields, and
living quarters; student publications
of all varieties, books from the uni
versity presses, photos and brief bio
graphical sketches vof prominent pro
fessors, maps and pennants.

Final arrangements for the WGA
sponsored student government train
ing school for coeds were mapped out
at a meeting of the coed senate yes
terday, and handbooks prepared by a
senate committee on this subject are
available to all woman students
through their house presidents, it was
announced yesterday by WGA presi
dent Marsha Hood.
The mimeographed booklets are de
signed to fully acquaint woman stu
dents with the mechanics of student'
government and to serve as an instruc
tion book for those planning to take
the student government examination
which is a prerequisite to running for
office. Times for the examination were
set at 5 p.m. Friday, 2 p.m. Saturday,
and 9 a.m. Monday November 20, 21,
and 23 in the WGA room in Graham
Memorial. Miss Hood, chairman of the
training committee urged all coeds to
take the examination, whether inter
ested in running for office or not, as
a self -checkup.
The booklet contains the Woman's
government constitution, the house en
tertainment agreement, information
concerning, the point system and the
WGA budget. The booklet was com
piled by a committee consisting of
Marsha Hood, chairman, d udy Mebane,
Martha Guy, Betty Etz, and Ditzi
Buice.
The senate overruled a proposal to
abolish sign-out slips for those wish
ing to visit town homes. Coeds will be
required to sign out to private and
men's residences until the interdormi
tory council makes some other recom
mendation, which is to come before the
coed senate as soon as possible.
An amendment was passed making
the coed representatives to the student
legislature automatically members of
the coed senate in order to strengthen
the ties between the two bodies. The
WGA representative-at-large to the
legislature will be elected the first week
in December.

other charitable fund campaigns will
be allowed on the campus; and any
relief agencies other than the World

U. S. O. already slated to get 80 per
cent of the $10,000, will receive mon

at the discretion of the Chest execu
tives. In a statement late yesterday, W.
J. Smith, speaker of the legislature
fully endorsed the drive. "The War
Chest is the most efficient way to col
lect relief money, in my opinion."

ident, released a statement in favor

before the meeting, Mayor Madry

opportunity will be provided for a
hearing of all the facts in the case.
We shall be glad to get the evidence
from any citizen, white or colored.
Naturally the Board is going to in

If true they are very serious and
proper action will be taken."

UNC Observance
Of Student Day
Carolina's two day International
Student Day program came to a close
last night with an address by Polish
Ambassador Jan Ciechanowski.
Before the Ambassador spoke, Pro
fessor Ervin P. Hexner, University
Political Science professor of Czech
nationality, discussed the meaning
and significance of International Stu
dent Day in a brief address.
"International Student Day is cele
brated on November 17 because on
that day three years ago, Czech stu
dents and professors paid with their
lives for resisting the German on
slaught against education and democ
racy," he said.
Paid With Lives
Hexner termed the present "Ger

Europe" a new "20th century inquisi

May Jo Perky Awarded
Top Song Contest Prizes
First and second prizes in the Uni
versity club-Phi Mu Alpha-sponsored
song contest went to May Jo Perky ac
cording to the judges' decision released
yesterday.
Co-winner of the first prize, a $25
War Bond, for the best score submit
ted by students in the contest, was
Virginia Terry who wrote the words
for the top ranking tune. Entitled
"Song of the Tar Heels," the score
was submitted to the contest under
the fictitious names of Joanna Dubin
sky and Susan Synthe in compliance
with the contest rules. Unscrambled
the names spelled Virginia Terry and
May Jo Perky.
Second prize of $10 in Defense Sav
ing Stamps went to "To Carolina"
turned in under the alias of Carol
Mack. Having awarded second place
to this tune the judge were surprised
to learn that May Jo Perky was the
composer of this one as well.
Honorable mention went to Greg
ory Perky, physical education instruc
tor and music student, and Jack Ellis.
Judges for the contest were Dr.
Glen Haydon, head of the Music de
partment, Dr. Sherman Smith, of the
Chemistry department, Kay Roper,
Women's Government association rep
resentative, and Denny Hammond,
president of the University club. The
fifth judge was unable to be present
for the final decision.
Bill Mehaffey stated that the songs
will not be introduced to the students
until arrangements of the tunes have
been made for band or orchestra. He
estimated that this would require ten
days or two weeks.
Commenting on the success of the
contest as a means of creating new
University hymns, marches, or fight,
songs, Mehaffey stated that when the
contest was originally planned the co
sponsors decided that if it proved suc
cessful, similar contests would be held
twice a year. Plans call for publica
tion of contest winners every two or
three years in a volume to be entitled
"Carolina Song Book," Mehaffey said.
