Felsheim, Lilyan Krantz Definition of Disagreement With Dr. deVilliers TN a letter under “The Saftey Valve” Dr. do Villiers makes it plain that he has not come to America to do any propaganda work on behalf of the Carnegie Foundation. One of the principle activities of the Carnegie Foundation for the promotion of better interna tional understanding is promoting the exchange of scholars between countries. Dr. de Villiers has been brought to this country for that reason. He has already been well received and has done much toward giving students on the campus a better understanding of South Africa—its student life, political institutions, and racial problems. Be cause of his ability as a scholar and good-will emissary from South Africa to this country lie has been selected and financed by the Carnegie Foundation. But the Emerald does not agree with his opinions as regards the position of Italy in the Ethiopian conflict. And the Emerald is not chal lenging the opinions as expressed by Dr. tie Vil liers in an open discussion with Dr. Victor P. Morris in Gerlinger hall on November 22. How ever, since Dr. de Villiers has been on the campus he has made it plain that he believes Italy ma ligned, that since she must expand there is no alternative but the "taking” of Ethiopia, and that since Italy was treated “unjustly” by the Versailles treaty she is now being unduly criti cized by "those nations who were the greatest grabbers at Versailles.” Here one more question comes to the surface What about Germany"? Dr. de Villiers of course has a perfect right to offer his opinions as to the actions of the coun tries of the world in surpressing an aggressor. But student opinion taking issue with the ex pressed opinions of our visitor has an equal right to be heard. We do not agree with Dr. de Viliers’ inter pretation of Italy’s Ethiopian adventure and shall continue to disagree as long as there is such obvious need for disagreement as has recently been created by the distinguished South African biologist. | The Safety Valve z + 4 Letters published in this column should not be construed us expressing the editorial opinion of the Kmerald.

Editor, the Emerald: I was asked the other night to debate upon "sanctions” and to defend the standpoint that they would prove to be ineffective. I was not invited to represent the point of view of the Carnegie Peace corporation, or even my own, for that matter, this being the usual procedure in a debate. I have not come to America to do any propaganda work on behalf of the Carnegie Foundation, and I am sorry to find your paper interpreting my talks in a way as if I did. C. de Villiers. The sceret of youth is gauging one’s capac ities. Get eight hours of rest at night and you can do 16 hours’ work in a day if you need to.— Sen. W. G. McAdoo. Other Editors’ Opinions AHRHEN D. MULLIN has added another ’ ' note to the steadily swelling cry in Amer ican colleges against war. Already a vast number of people have come to a sincere agreement that war is a bad thing, but that is as far as they agree; from that point on there rises a steady disagreement on matters of how a peaceful com munity of nations is to be obtained, and how our own population may be best prepared for making the decision to the ultimate question, war or peace ? Mr. Mullin has advocated a practical plan, which should be sufficiently universal in appeal and application for all groups, ranging from the most conservative and soft spoken to the most radical and noisy. Mr. Mullin pointed out that ten million stu dents become eligible to vote during every four year period, which is enough to swing a national election. If every political party would be made to declare a positive stand on the war issue it would be possible to draw an alignment on this plank and defeat any party which opposed it, before and after election. Perhaps most important of the speaker’s ut terances was the statement that we are at pres ent on the very verge of another war; at the moment we can count months and days to the next conflagration and we may even put our finger on the prospective origins of trouble. Are we, Mr. Mullin asks, going to be caught talking of eventualities and remote possibilities when we are faced with an actual and predictable event, just as certain ms the rising of the sun each morning? We must, he declares, act, and act more powerfuly and swiftly than ever before — Wisconsin Cardinal. A Common Stamping Ground Against War Air Y’ * ❖ ❖ Listenin’ By James Morrison Emerald of the Air The Emerald Sportcast, con ducted by Tom McCall and the Duckling reporter, Willie Erager, will be on the air this afternoon at 3:45. Radio Editor Woodrow Truax said yesterday that Frank Michek, Oregon’s fullback, will be inter viewed on the program. Loral Hands Art Holman's excellent band moves out of the Green Parrot Palms lor one night to play for the University club in Portland to night. Bucky McGowan's orchestra will hold swing at the Palms to night. Rumor has it that Holman is also making use of the Portland trip to try out for the Club Victor job there. It would be a big loss to the campus if he got it, but it will be a good start on the road to fame he deserves if he does get the Portland spot. Starlines Remember Gogo DeLys, that cute little blue-eyed blond who made her singing debut with Jimmie Grier's band a few years ago at the CocoanuL Grove? Now she's a star in the East, thrilling the listening public on Phil Baker's programs. Gogo's real name is Marie Jeanne Gabrielle Germaine Bel zemmierc Belanger. Her little sis ter, Juliet, could not pronounce any of these and called her Gogo. The name stud; bom in Elman ton, Alberta, she enrolled in law at Southern California when her family moved to Los Angeles, but. gave it up When instructors ob jected to her humming in class. While still with Grier, she met Phi Baker, and he was Intrigued by her singing style. She went East with him and won a CBS contract. Her little sister is now her business manager. Gogo's fan mail includes many proposals of marriage, but she says she intends to stay single for quite a while. The Air Amos ’n' Andy, blackface kings of radio, missed their first broad cast since they went on the air last Friday night, thereby causing a furore among eastern radio fans unprecedented in the history of broadcasting. Freeman Gosdcn (Amos) and Charles Carroll (Andy l went hunt ing Maryland and were unable to get back in time to take their places at the microphone in the NBC studios in Washington, D. C., where they have been visiting, in time for their eastern broadcast. “It was the climate, as they say in California," said Amos. "The hunting was so good we bagg'd four turkeys and the limit of ducks and pheasants that we just for got time was flying." * * Tom Coakley and his popular dance orchestra, who left San Francisco several months ago to score in the East. South, and Mid dlewest. are again broadcasting Thursday nights at 9:80 from the Netherlands l’laza hotel in Cleve land. Stations are KGO and KDYL. * * * Fred Allen and his Mighty Allen Ait Players will again take the spotlight in Town Ilall Tonight this evening at 9:00. The lpana Troubadour^ open th; program with “The Double Eagle March.” The Town Hall quartet follows through with a novelty song, “She Was an Acrobat's Daughter,” and "Rise and Shine." Peter Van Sieeden and the band will feature “I Dove to Take Orders From Youf’ “Eenie Meenie Miney Mo," and “O Little Bit Independent.” Mil'-l liS I’rognmis Today 2:00 A1 Pearce’s Gang.

" Thu Paramount studios made such ai rffer, and for two months ambi :ious picture takers have followei aim with everything from bulk; i by 10s to vest pocket candids But not one single time did th sour-faced funny man crack a snicker. He was utterly invincible. The would-be picture takers ul 1 timately got tired and quit trying, 1 so the studio withdrew the offer. ; A Lady? i One day last week Miss Ethel ■ Barrymore, queen of the Ameri 1 can theater, was approached by a ’ young woman reporter for an in . terview. ; “I don’t give interviews,” snapped the wonderful Miss Bar rymore, “especially to young whelps who don't know anything.” The young reporter was start led. She had understood that Miss Barrymore was not only an actress but a lady as well. “You can't talk to me like that,” she remonstrat ed. “The (censored) I can’t,” Ethel came back ‘.You little wart! You little rat! You little (unprinta ble) !” Whereupon Miss Barry more lent force to her remarks by digging her finger nails into the reporter’s chin. Thus the second member of the Barrymore trio hits the skids to ward oblivion. Great stars they may be. But there are lots of great stars who do not scratch re porter’s faces or play leap-frog across the continent with an aban doned love life. No matter how i much people admire you on the! screen, if your private life leaves a bad taste in your public’s mouth j you are through. Witness my statement you cinematic ghosts of Fatty Arbuckle, Clara Bow, Buster Keaton, Alice White et al. Autograph hunters rushed Jack Benny with such force at the Brown Derby the other day that he got up and went elsewhere to eat. No display of temper—no bad manners. He simply excused him self, and left. Backfire I rather like to see the tables turned as they were in Los An geles recently. Some score or more of citizens living along a boule vard in Westwood signed a com plaint to the police that UCLA fraternity men and women were speeding on their street. Accord ingly the police put on extra prowl cars to watch the boulevard in question. The first day’s catch consisted of live of the signers of the petitions. Not a single student was apprehended. sis * Fast Travel The Philippine clipper has re ported in California to join the China clipper in trans-Pacific ser vice. Other flying boats will fol low. Within a few years we will prob ably be eating dinner one evening in San Francisco, spending the night in a comfortable bed and eating dinner the next evening at the cross roads of the world— Singapore.

Bat-brain Lucas and the Marsh mallow conspired last eve, following I.B.’s declaration that he would NOT write a col. for that issue, and produced what they conceived to be an imitation of the Bystand er. This they sneaked into the pa per. SO . . . this a. m. we are greet ed by our pals with such remarks as . . . ‘‘Geez you were lousy to day, Clark” . . . “slipping, eh!” . . . “what’s the matter; hang over?” and similar jibes. And since the Marshmallow has not yet learned to lead with his chin, we found ourself in very bad odor with the administration, the Fhi Delts, the Chi Psis, etc. If we ever have a child (Heaven forbid) we are going to name it after Lucas and just beat the pants off it! It seems that these gags about registration cards will never cease coming... This one con cerns the young gentleman who filled out his with: (CLASS) . . Junior. (AGE) 21. (SEN) . . Occasionally! They threw him out! * * * Absent-minded McCall (Tom). He calls up Prof. Dahlberg. The Prof, answers. “Who’s speaking?” queries the McCall. “Dahlberg.” “Well, what do you want?” de mands McCall, testily! * * A TERSE VERSE “I hymn a hymn of hateful hate For the guy who talks about his date!” * “Ssssh, that’s her MOTHER!” Send the Emerald to your friends.

Mr. Hoppe has learned that a mild cigarette affords more pleasure... and that mildness is essential to one who prizes healthy nerves. He says: "Champi onship billiards call for healthy nerves. It was a happy day for me when I turned to Camels. I found I could smoke all I wish and never have 'edgy’ nerves. I have smoked Camels for a long time, and I want to compliment Camels on their mildness. It must take more expensive tobaccos to give that special Camel flavor I like so much—always cool and good.” You, too, will find a new delight once you turn to Camels. They never get on your nerves ... never tire your taste. COSTLIER TOBACCOS! • Camels are made from finer, MOH! lXPKXSIVl: TOBACCOS ...Turkish and Domestic... than any other popular brand. iSi&Hcd) R. J. REYNOLDS TOBACCO COMPANY Winston-Salem, N. C.

Keep tit. Smoke more—and enjoy smoking more!
