'Been Stupid,'
McLendon Says
In Di Speech
College Training
Is Attorney Topic
Wednesday Night
"We have been braggarts for
50 years," Major L. P. McLen
don, Greensboro attorney and
University alumnus said before
nearly 50 seniors and guests
Wednesday night at the Di Sen
ate's installation of new officers
Speaking on "College Education
for What?" Maj. McLendon con
tinued by pointing out the need
in colleges for a recognition of
the superior moral force which
is the source of all good.
"It is time to re-establish
spiritual philosophy as the basis
of modern education," he said.
"We must realize the presence
of God and that divine law is
the real reason for all govern
ments." "In the past 50 year the trend
toward higher education has
been always up," he said. "Sta
tistics prove our increase , in
wealth, greater length of life,
and betterment in almost every
area of human knowledge. De
sirable as these are, however,
we have fallen far short of the
one hope of the human race,
individual and collective peace."
The only outgrowth of the
present day higher learning, ac
cording to McLendon, has been
mass slaughter, suppression, and
physical slavery. More people
have been needlessly killed in
the last half century than now
live in the entire United States,
and even after two bloody wars
we are still living in a state of
&rmfd truce. :

UP To Meet
Wednesday
The University Party Steering
... i
Committee decided weanesaay
afternoon to hold its first open
meeting of the quarter next Wed
nesday in Graham Memorial.
The group, acting on a sugges
tion from the Executive Commit
tee, voted strongly in favor of the
meeting which will have as its
main purpose the clarification of
the new two-party system.
With Monday's dissolution of
the Campus Party, the campus
reverted to the old system which
had prevailed prior to the birth
of the CP, an arm of dissenters
from the old Student i-airy.
Next week's open meet is ex
pected to turn into a round-table
discussion featuring the leaders
of the UP, . SP -and the old uv
student fees "that may well
mean a complete change in cam
pus finance."
James said the special sessions
would be vital in order not to
have "a ' group ignorant of the
situation and . problems."

Dimes Not To As!
Mon
. By Don
March of Dimes of Orange
said yesterday that the March of Dimes is not soliciting stu
dent donations in co-operation with the recently established
Campus Chest, which prohibits all non-member organiza
tions from direct solicitation of students. ,
There will be no solicitation on
the campus, or in any fraternity
or sorority, house," Smith said,
and although I am sorry that
we will not be able to solicit
students, I wish the Campus
Chest every success in its forth
coming drive and want to co
operate in every way."
The March of Dimes is not
one of the organizations in the
Campus Chest because of its
national charter which prohibits
local units from joining in chest
drives.
This . is because of a policy,
Smith said, which is followed by!
most national relief agencies,
based on the argument that par
ticipation in a community chest
would result "in loss of national
publicity for the cause, loss of
identity and individuality of
the . organization, and conse
quently, loss of donations.
When the Chest bill was passed
by the Student Legislature last
spring, is. was provided, that the
Board " of Directors of the Chest
should deny the right of student
solicitation to all organizations
and causes not a part of the
Chest.
"It is, of course, up to the
individual student as to whether
or not' he contributes to the
March of Dimes or any drive
not included in the Chest," Mike
McDaniel, publicity chairman of
the Chest said yesterday. "But
we want to' make it clear that
the students are not being asked
to contribute to anything not a
part of the Chest campaign.
The Campus Chest is your only
drive; Back it up!"
Chest co-ordinator Dick Mur
phey yesterday said that stu
dents wishing to contribute to
the Dimes campaign should "by
all means do so," but for them
to bear in mind that the Chest
is the only student-conducted
drive aimed at the student body.
"The Chest is going to offer
the, March of Dimes a 'check
from its general fund," he went
on, "based, on past contributions
to the. polio fund, and each stu
dent is asked to include this or
ganization in figuring up the
amount he will contribute to the
Campus Chest.". .

the success will continue." '

dormitory resident will be so
licited, Roth stated. ,
Students living in town will

search for the grotesquely masked
gunmen who set a new record in
arceny Tuesday night by snatch
ing a cool million dollars cash
from an armored truck strong
hold.
Aides said Hoover is actively
participating in the investigation,
although for the present he does
not plan to leave Washington. -
"A talkative and imaginative
phony" so described by Boston
police furnished a tip which sent
squads of officers into a flurry of
activity early today. The check.
resulted in the finding of a pistol
and 1000 rounds of ammunition in
an empiy nouse.
But nothing more came of that
and the tipster who had tele-.
phoned from Newark, N. J. soon
was discredited as a former men

been the driver of the get-away
