VOLUME LX1, NUMBER 104 : " CHAPEL HILL, N. C. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1953 FOUR PAGES TODAY TVA Chief Tells Ho w t Unif Helps The, numerous ways in which the Tennessee Valley Authority had helped revitalize the people in the Valley and reclaim the land were outlined here yesterday by! W. M. Landess, chief of the Agri cultural Exposition Unit of the TVA. Landess was in Chapel Hill to deliver the annual Common Moor ing Lectures under sponsorship of the Department of Health Educa tion of the School of Public Health of the University of North Carolina. He spoke at the University Tues day, Wednesday and Thursday af tefaoons, and each morning spoke at .the North Carolina College in D.uiham. I The Mooring lecture were in augurated in 1943 by the late Dr. JIarcourt A. Morgan, former chair man of the TVA Board of Directors jand president of the University of Tennessee, who was instrumental ' in shaping the resource develop ment program of the Tennessee Valley Authority. The Common Mooring was the philosophy of Dr. Morgan who was the father of Dr. Lucy Shields Morgan, chairman of the University's Department of Health Education. He believed that "the Common Mooring is found in the contribu tions of nature and the new values we create as we enrich the ma terials of the universe; every hu man personality developed to its highest possibility and allowed fullest expression in that creative service it is best capable of render ing." Dr. Morgan delivered the lectures here until his death in 1950. Since then Landess has given them. I Landess pointed out that the TVA has sought to inspire the res idents of the Valley to develop a spirit of teamwork "to meet the challenge to today's complex civ ilization." This teamwork, which is evi denced by the transformation of the Valley in the 20 years of TVA, has resulted in a new "interdepend ence that puts farm communities and farm people on the same foot pride in new abilities and new ways ing as their city neighbors; puts of doing things that give agricul ture new dignity, farm people new opportunity, and city people a new realization of their dependence upon the land and their responsi bility for working with farm fam ilies to improve and protect the ource of both rural and urban wel fare." These people have seen what the vast teamwork of dams, oper ated as one system but each with its own function, could do for a region that was in grave economic trouble in 1933 and is now one of the fastest growing regions in the country, Landess said. "They are finding that new pow ers for more satisfying human ex istence can come from a unified approach to the problems of liv ing developing a working part nership with nature, giving each person and each family opportun ity to contribute whatever each is best fitted to contribute in the proper relationship to the desires of the entire community," he said. "At the same time," he added, "the individual finds that he loses none of his independence or indi vidual dignity. Rather, like the sys tem of dams where each gains in stature as in effectiveness by its working partnership with all the other segments of the gigantic sys tem he finds greater opportunity to develop his particular talents and achieve new stature in con tributing to the new effectiveness of the community, county, and region." Landess believes that much of the trouble of the world could be resolved if this concept of inter dependence, of oneness was shared by all the peoples of the world.

That is the view of Dr. Arnold Nash, James A. Gray professor of lilllll 1 i X DR. ARNOLD NASH Life Magazine Exhibit Opens This Weekend A new photographic exhibit, "1848", prepared by the editors of Life Magazine in their series of exhibitions on the history of Western Culture, opens this week end in the Morehead Building. It will continue through March 7. Depicting the crucial year of the 19th century which some historians have called "the turn ing point of history at which his tory didn't turn," "1848" consists of 24 large panels, including many rare pictures from the journalistic point of view. Some of the more unusual were ob tained from 19th century periodi cals and other sources contem porary with the period. "1848" attempts to describe something of the complex nature of the events which culminated in that turbulent year. . The exhibition is divided into into five sections: England and Industrialism, France, Austria, Italy and Germany. The title panel is a reproduction in color of Delacroix's "Liberty Leading the People" and is followed by (See LIFE, page 4) Roger Ackerrnan Chosen Now Chancellor Of TEP Roger Ackerrnan of Wallace has been elected chancellor of Omega chapter of Tau Epsilon Phi for the coming year.

Dr. Nash said . "we who identify ourselves with the humanities may ceaselessly ; prate about the importance of the humanities but by so doing we do little more than give the impression of whistling to keep up our courage. 1 "Little more than two genera tions ago the humanities were cen tral to the thought and the feeling alike of what happened, at any ' rate, at the worst, tolerated, and at the best ignored." Dr. Nash told his audience "the ironic fact is that the humanities find themselves in their present position because their exponents have so often sought unconscious ly rather than consciously to ape the natural sciences by the way in which they have worshipped 'ob jectivity.' "Basically, we. have ignored the fact that the humanities received their honored place in the early universities of the modern world not by building upon the ridiculous departmentalization of the contem (See TEACHING, page 4) Registration Required Of Voters For May 5 Election In accordance with an ordinance passed by the Board of Aldermen, a complete new registration of municipal voters will be held prior to the May 5 election.

According to a Consolidated fac ulty memorandum from President Gray, it will be a "realistic work conference, dealing neither with minutiae nor with glittering gen eralities, but with such basic, con crete problems as the improve ment of college teaching, the prop er balance between research and teaching, student-faculty relation ships, and the mission of the total University in the richer integra tion of the three institutions." Working procedure in this "ex periment in self-examination" will be as follows: The , University's mission will be considered thor oughly by faculty committees from the three branches. During the Two day session President Gray and President A. Whitney Griswold of Yale will address the entire panel of approximately 150 faculty members. : ' The written findings of the vari ous work sessions win be presented to Gray, who will reply with final appraisals of the conference.

Odum is overall chairman of the conference. Ar rangements and exhibits chairman is Russell M. Grumman of Chapel Hill. J , In his letter to .the three facul ties Gray listed reasons for his call ing the conference: "To have in mind a clear and workable concep tion of the mission of the total University is a matter of continu ing concern to all of us. "I have learned that such a clear conception is no less import ant to the faculty member who, giving his best in teaching, re search or service to other scholars, requires, and is entitled to, a re sponsible and practical statement of what the total University is seeking to accomplish in all areas of its work. , "And, of course, it is the devoted faculty member who can contribute most in basic content, to stating , clearly the lines that mark out the umvcisiij. iCoi,ul1xxo dents, trustees and to the people of the State," Gray said.

Report Depicts South Koreans' Study Difficulty WSSF, in a report to the local Campus Chest board depicting the hardships of Korean students go ing to school in relocated univer sities, points out the privations and hardships of these students in the Republic of South Korea.

For many, lunch is a bowl of cold rice (brought from home mixed with a bowl of hot water supplied by the school. The woman's university there, Ewha Woman's University, is proud of its "campus in exile" made up of wooden barracks built with cheap crating lumber and tents. High on the six levels of a Pusan hillside, 1,500 young Korean women study in the colleges of liberal arts, edu cation, fine arts and healing arts without heat and with little furni ture and equipment. Dr. Helen Kim, president of Ew ha, in a letter to the World Student j Service Fund reporting the, exist - ing conditions, said, "Our chapel- j auditorium is undergoing major repairs, for its roof begaa to sag.
