Meeting as seminar groups, viewing films, and attending lec tures, they considered such topics as the Physiology of Alcohol, the Nature and Extent of Alcoholic Problems, and many other phases. The speaker,' Peter Cooper, stated that alcohol is the second of the two greatest problems facing the American people today. Among the staff was Dr. Lee M. Brooks, UNC sociology pro fessor. In conclusion, speakers brought out the fact ,that while most citi zens are either making light or heavy use of alcohol, they were trying to do something about the problem.

NCSymphony Lauded By Newsweek Newsweek magazine has given the North .Carolina Symphony Orchestra its fifth national pub licity in less than a year. Calling the orchestra the "Suit case Symphony" and the "Sym phony on Wheels" due to its past season which saw the symphony traveling over 9.000 miles to give 140 concerts ia North Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Geor gia, the news magazine . praised Dr. Benjamin Swalin for his ef fort as a "hardworking dynamo". The article contained a picture of Dr. Swalin, conductor of the Symphony and his wife, who is referred "to as "mother to the entire organization."' Swalin has been director of the Symphony since 1939. when the organization was reorganized after federal aid helped pull it through the lean , years of the '30's.
