forcement Hgcncles to protect nation
al security.
Aa a practical business man, Mr.
Speaker, don’t you think It's time to
cut out duplication of governmental
agenciea?
It's true that Congressman J. Par
nell Thomas has waited long and
patiently for a chance to bask in the
limelight. He has agreed more often
than not with the views of Mr. Ran
kin and Mr. Dies. But this Is the year
of economy. I think Mr. Thomas
would sacrifice his opportunity for
glory rather than have his party
branded with the spendthrift label.
For the good of the Congress, for
the good of the taxpayer, and for the
good of the country, don’t you be
lieve It would be advisable to ring
down the curtain on this circus that
calls itself a congressional Investi
gating committee?
Sincerely,
Fandora Deadline

tlon. Over 300 American colleges
and universities were represented,
with u total of 52S delegates. It was
voted to organize, and plans were
laid to call u constitutional conven-
: tlon in July.
Myers was the official University
delegate to the conference, with the’
; approval of William Tate, dean of j
students. His expenses were paid by
i he Student Veterans’ Organization,
j which he has served us president for
| several months.
"It was hard to tell minority from
majority at the Chicago meeting,”
Myers recalls. ’’Jews, Negroes, Com
munists, Socialists, Catholics, and
ProtestantB from all parts of the
country hud their say."
“AH these groups came to Chi
cago with various ideas which they
wanted to Include in the alms and
activities of a National Student Or
ganization. Several of these alms
did not meet with the approval and
favor of the Southern delegates.”
Southern lllork
Eight Southern states organized a
Southern bloc, Myers reports, and
were successful In opposing some of
the proposals. Their success is Indi
cated by the fact that Jim Smith of
the University of Texas was elected
chairman of the continuations com
mittee Hint will draw up tho con
stitution for the new organization.
Some of tho alms nnd activities of
the National Student Organization
which could bo applied to our cam
pus, Myers suggests, are:
“To have a student newspaper
that Is in no wuy connected with tho
fneully;
"To encourage academic freedom
for students and teachers:
"To work townrd establishment of
a working student government; and,
“To encourage outstanding speak
ers and authorities on various sub
jects to visit the campus.”
Negro Students
Other Southern Institutions rep
resented at the Chicago conference
included Emory University, the Uni
versity of Alabama, and Hirmingham
Southern College. Two Negro stu
dents from the state of Georgia at
tended, one from Savannah and one
from Morehouse College, Atlanta.
Georgia and Alabama are grouped
in the same regional division. A
meeting is to be held, probably at
Emory in February, Myers advises,
to elect a regional chairman who
will represent this area in drawing
the constitution for tho National
Student Organization.
Final tryouts for Kaufman and
Hart's "Man Who Came to Dinner”

Leighton Ballew, department of drma
head.
The cast will be composed of 20
