Night Editor for this issue: Louis Kraar Some Educational Values We know a lot of young folks who are about washed out. Their energy has evaporated. They seem to be like the burned out generator of the old Model T. On the other hand, we know a lot of old folks who have such spirit, such charm, such delight in radiating happiness and knowledge, that it's a keen pleasure to converse with them. The scintillating personality of Dr. Archibald Hender son best typifies this younger outlook in the older folk. Historian, scientist, biographer, among other things, "he is a widely traveled, well-versed, man filled with the broad under standing that years of study, observation, and experience beget. This week, Dr. Henderson spoke to two important organi zations, the Phi Assembly and the English Club. Both talks were enlightening, both were delivered with a spirit and vim that made the audience listen. His remarks on education were of particular value to stu dents and to the University. Often, we have wondered what is the object of an education? Some rightly have said that the University seems not to know just what the objectives of educa tion are. They vary from year to year, curriculum to curricu lum, course to course. Some rightly have argued that education nowadays fails to teach people the three R's. Dr. Henderson has a ready objective for education. A person must be oriented in the "three great realms of knowl edge: cosmos, society, and art. When one grasps at a compre hension of the universe, he begins to realize that his place in the realm of nature is great because of his ability to under stand the cosmos." Societies on the international, national, and local level need to be studied. World history is a must for .intelligent thinking on economic and political problems of the day. The contradictions of the American way facing us now Jim Crow ism, lobbyism, municipal corruption, and slums must be met with "high patriotism, shrewd brains, and liberal judgment." - Art, encompassing literature, music beauty, arid romance can't be thrown away. .; Perhaps these objectives of Dr. Henderson's aren't the only ones that education should offer. They afford; however, meas ures for understanding, and the best equipment for intelligent thinking, acting, and living. ' ' Certainly, Dr. Henderson practices what he preaches. For merly one of our ablest professors in the mathematics depart ment, he is a gifted historian of the University and is the eminent biographer of George Bernard Shaw. Dr. Henderson at 75, spends much of his time traveling about the state lecturing. He has sontinued to infuse knowledge and thought to students, as his recent talks prove. We hope that he will continue brringing his views and ideas home t5 the University. DAILY CROSSWORD AC303S . l. Measure? 11. 13. 1. Clenched - -of medicine hand 5. Shoot used -i for grafting 9.

After much lengthy, heated debate in Con gress, and after a concentrated appeal to public opinion follow ing President Truman's veto and subsequent passage, there is an admitted air of ignorance con cerning the exact nature of the Act by those who should know especially .the immigration offic ials who are now trying to en force the Act. Confusion regarding the Act comes from many sources. First is its bulky, 250 pages, much of it in fine print. Second it tries to do so many things revising the old Smith-Mundt-Nixon Act change ing quotas, providing preference for educated immigrants, inspect ing all ship crews on political be liefs and activities, and in addi tion to all this, several different provisions on punishing govern ment officials who have any smell of Communism. And, third, it seems to advance the theory that thought against the government is a punishable crime. It is around this last point that most of the controversy rages. It is this act one which de termines traffic and communica tion into and out of this country and one which, broadly inter preted, can place a citizen in jail for his thoughts whicn the Caro lina Political Union will consider tonight. A question to which there are no right or wrong answers a question which is desperately misunderstood, if understood at all, by most persons. We will take no votes and sign no petitions to night. No viewpoints will be push ed down anyone's throat. Rather we shall attempt an open, serious, unbiased discussion of the issue one which can, potentially, result in keeping you or your friends in or out of the country for politi cal reasons; one which can place you in jail for your politics. . -Church- (Continued from page 1) Unitarian "Prevailing Threats to Teach ers" will be the discussion topic Sunday evening at the meeting of the Unitarian Fellowship of Chapel Hill. Professor Phillips Russell of the School of Journal ism will lead the discussion. The meeting will be held in the YWCA lounge at 8:30 p.m. It is open t othe public. Episcopal The York Club, an Episcopal dents and faculty, will meet to night in the Episcopal parish house at 8:45. Dr. William Wells, of the Department of English, will lead a discussion on the topic "Is Christianity Compatible with Intellectual Maturity?" Holy Communion wil lbe held at 8 o'clock this morning, in the Chapel of the Cross. At 11 a.m. wil be the Litany and anti-Communism. Young Adult Group The Young Adult Group of the Methodist Church will hold a sup per meeting at 6:15 Tuesday at the Church. The Rev. William Howard will discuss "Fundamen tals, of Methodism."

IT WITH TUB y7-AN(50K.KA Gosh, Those New Atomic John PULQUE Last Wednesday I .discussed some, but certainly not all, of the changes a shift to the semester system might bring. In this final column on Saturday classes, I will suggest some uses for Saturday that would not necessitate a shift to the semester system. First, the present System could be "used simply by shifting some of the five-day-per-week classes to Saturday. For example, a course could meet on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. This would give the students and faculty a break in the middle of the week from that specific class. This could not be done with all the classes, because of the class room situation, but it could be don ewith a substantial number of them. Another method to use Satur days would be, J to have classes : meet six day a week, and increase the time of the two hour semi . nars. This would telescope the usual 50 or so classes per quarter into a shorter time, and might permit a break! of a week or so toward the end of the term for ilbrary research; term paper writ ing, etc. Of, course it would in tensify the work load, perhaps to a point where students could not take it. Also the difficulty with special class-less research time is that many students would not use it for its intended pur pose, but would make a vacation out of it. This could be partially remedied by making sure that the assignments would keep them busy during this period. The more mature and hard working students woud certainly welcome a week or so during which they could examine all the odds and ends of special material they would like to look at but don't have time for. The time on Saturday could be used for special voluntary or com pulsory review sessions for stu dents who are not doing well. Any plan which requires the Car olina students to do anything is met with much opposition, yet there are many students who cer ; tainly could use a little extra help. The variation in high school in struction present in the U. S. as J5AYUSETHATP?y INNgepgAeiN' WJ&ERHOl'Z! THE DeMANL t-UK. 1K.Y FtW5HN Weapons Are Fantastic' Gibson a whole, and North Carolina in particular would certainly justi fy such a plan. Of course the pro fessors would have to be willing to put in a little more time, or else special assistants could be hired for these extra sessions. Students who are doing very poor ly in their classes might be re quired to attend these sessions. Granted that you can't force a horse to drink, you can put it in such a situation that it might as well drink because it has nothing else to do. On the other hand, instead of utilizing Saturdays for helping the students who are haVing trouble the time could be given over to the students who want to do extra work in courses. There actually are such animals, though they are decreasing in numbers. Vol untary classes could be held in which th'0 students who so desired could talk over special problems with their professors. There are. many students who know that of ten the most useful information they have, learned has been gain ed in out-of -class talks with pro fessors. This system would sort of institutionalize the practice. These ideas are just suggestions as to some of the ways Saturdays can be used under the quarter system. There are probably many others, most of them perhaps bet ter than these. Do you have any suggestions? - Cosmopolitan Club The Cosmopolitan Club at its meeting today at 4 p.m. in the Rendezvous Room of Graham Me morial will stage a square dance.

PKYVvATefc HOLE I WOONTNA COT VYT. ---.LV.JUii- -.I.',, I. ,-,'l'V Express Editor: Since coming to Chapel Hill I have been shocked by the number of persons who say "I never lis ten to the radio. "Shocked because Chapel Hill is supposedly an ex ceptionally intelligent community. It happens that I have live in other intelligent communities where people have exercised se lected vision and recognized the privilege of listening to the really excellent programs furnished by the radio. Now what happens when they do not listen to such programs? They are often taken off, as was "Invitation to Learn ing," a panel of scholars discuss ing great authors and their books and furnishing the kind of intel lectual pablum to listeners pro duced by the sparkling of superior intellects engaged in discussion. Cows, Pigs and People The National Safety Council has again released its annual report on unusual accidents that have occurred during the past year. As usual animals were doing their best to get the upper hand over man in 1952. For example, a Baltimore man awoke with a sharp pain in his hand to find his pet rabbit squint ing at him over the sights of a .22 caliber rifle. A German butcher was trying to kill a pig, when suddenly the animal turned the tables on him. It jumped to its' feet, tripped the trigger with its leg and shot the butcher through the knee. A clear cut case of self-defense. A Denver, Colorado couple were out for what was to have been a uneventful drive, when a 1,300 pound cow dived onto the top of their car. The bovine bombshell had been scared by two cowboys and had leaped from an overpass. A Nevada man got into a fight with a bumblebee while he was driving. He became so wrapped up in what he was doing that he forgot to drive. The car turn ed over three times. The long-distance falling cham pionship for the year was won by a California youngster. He slipped from the top of a 1,500 foot cliff, fell 200 feet, rolled 1,000, fell again, rolled some more and finally landed unharmed. That's what these breakfast -cereals are doing for the younger generation. A six-year-old New York boy fell five stories down a stairwell and landed on a German Shepard named Prince. Neither boy nor dog was badly injured. Pedestrians are beginning to take up for themselves, too. In Portland, Oregon, a jaywalker strode into an automobile, dem olished its radio antenna and kept walking. . A 240-pound Atlantic City resident merely laughed and shook hands with the driver, when an automobile struck him. Then, he helped push the car to a ga rage, where a mechanic estimated damages at $300. An airplane that crashlanded onto the top of a moving car, streetcars and bathtubs also con tributed a share to laughable 'mis fortunes of 1952. a BOTTulcS. Durham Tip rr'p p&h Dtzym,ouz THE AIR AN! yOJ'P OF FALLEN Yourself Pressure to lower standards is always stronger than pressure to raise them. The outlets in the South therefore resort to the old alibi to a person who appreciates good programs and sees them list ed in, the New York papers, "We have to put out popular stuff." And popular stuff is usually crooning, would-be comedians, a surfeit of hill-billy moronism and the ubiquitous ball games. We in Chapel Hill are some times treated to unusually good movies. Notice how few persons take the trouble to patronize them and to show any appreciation to Mr. Gutierrez or Mr. Carrington Smith. Let us realize the frces at work to lower public taste and fight with all our might and main to preserve the fine programs now given us by WUNC, our new University radio station. Mary B.
