KEEP III STEP WITH THE ARUYI Jda tb fca pcrcda thct wiO tavt you Issgkiag ia docble tins Also Community Sing Color Cartoon NOW PLAYING (By Student Opinion Surveys) The Dies committee has often pointed a finger at colleges and universities in various parts of the nation, some- times -aeensiriff- faculty, rnembers' for the spread' of un-American "ism." Just how much' such propaganda is being spread through pedagogical methods will perhaps never be accurately known.

But it is possible- to measure at least how many students think attempts are being made to influence them. Student Opinion Surveys of America has taken the question directly to the collegians who some da-fenders of Americanism claim are being taught to believe in the "wrong" doctrines: "Have you-: ever felt that a facul ty member while teaching in a class was attempting to influence you in favor of nazism, fascism, communism, or socialism The answers of representative sample of students taken the country over were these: NO 79 YES 18 YES, but apparently not purposely (A very small number about 2 per cent, told Surveys interviewers they did not know. Their "no opinion" answers were not included in the tabulations.) The above figures must be interpreted with reservations: The stu dents who answered were typical American collegians, and all classes of students were represented, but each student's own definition of the "isms" and of what constitutes propaganda in favor of those doctrines no doubt con ditioned each answer. Just the same, these are. the answers they, gave to the question, asked everywhere exactly as worded.

Perhaps even more significant than the mere figures above is the fact that the poll makes possible the location of the sections of the country where students believe this "teaching" of mms is more prevalent. The eastern schools represented the survey show a much larger, proportion answering in the affirmative, while in the South and especially the West only a few students say they have detected any attempts to influence There is strong evidence, according to the records of-previous polls taken by Student Opinion Surveys, to vsup port the belief that' on eastern campuses there is greater activity in this field than anynere'eise." One of the first polls this organization ever conducted nearly three years ago pointed out that eastern students had felt a larger incidence of attempt to influence them on the campus; that time the question wa3 not limited to the classroom. Again "thi3 year in FebruV ary Student Opinion- Surveys found the loudest cry in that- same section of the country for continued study and definition of the "isms" in their college classes as a need for safeguarding democracy with the provision that in such courses there should be "teaching, not preaching." The National Youth Administration is providing part-time work for about 450,000 boys and girls from i6 to 24 in high schools arid colleges.

CONNIE HAINES (Continued from first page) days in the south she used the name Yvonne Marie, but Harry James ob jected and gave her the present "Con nie Haines" when she joined his band in 1939.

There was no particular reason for the name ames just thought it sounded like the name she should, have. Connie made her debut as a child singer in Pick Malone's Saucy Baby Show at the Bipou theater in Savan nah at the age four. She made fier radio debut at the age of ten over a Jacksonville, Florida radio station on a commercial series." north Jher family, she made her New York debut on the stage of the Roxy theater. She was then 14 years old and sang "Lullaby of Broadway" while the Gae Foster girls danced. Connie's main ambition in life is to stair in a Broadway musical produc tion.

IT' SPORT SCRIPTS (Continued from page three) vitation some years back, with Maryland's triple sweep at those same Penn relays last year, with Carolina's surprising showing against Dartmouth in the National basketball tournament at Madison, Wisconsin, last quarter or with any creditable showing by teams from this part 1 of the country were evident below blar ing black headlines, on the better sport pages of the northern metropolitan sheets. It seems difficult to convince a skeptical athletic world that the New South, phrased originally by the national political administration to be used in an economic sense, has spread far afield and now embraces a wide-awake Dixie sports renais- sance that will concede not an inch to the East, to the Middle West, to the Southwest, or to the Far West in big-time intersectional competition. The Carolina story should be sufficient to prove the point.

football ledger for the past several seasons shows victories over Texas Christian and Penn as compared to a single loss to Fordham; the basketball tale is one of a share and share alike rivalry with the larger eastern schools; the baseball log indicates' a pretty even split in the intersectional bracket, and the track club can boast of a pair of Ivy league scalps taken at the expense of Princeton's Tigers. The so-styled minor sports have even more impressive records. The tennis and golf teams have made remarkable showings against visiting clubs and such clubs as Yale, Cornell, Dartmouth, Michigan, Boston college, Williams and Franklin and Marshall have all bowed at the Hill. And so it goes and so it will continue to go at least until the "Yanks" recog nize the resurgent Dixie tide in ath letics that has been so evident of late.
