DAVIDSON COLLEGE, DAVIDSON, N. C, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1939 Ten Seniors Nominated For Who's Who New Alumni Journal Will Be Sent To Old Grads This Week End German Foreign Policy It has been characteristic of Ger- man foreign policy over the years that it showed at once strength and weakness. More than in most countries, German diplomacy has had to take account of the inter- nal situation. Even before the World war, the Reich was pro- foundly divided Local feeling, based on real cultural differences, was strong; a very short historical period produced the usual antago- nism between capital and labor, and a sharp cleavage between Protes- tants and Catholics has interfered with genuine unity. These many divisions were accentuated by the existence of many Germanic groups living under foreign flags and a central geographic position expos- ing the country to interference by neighboring states. As a result, German foreign policy has fre- quently served domestic rather than external ends. Bismarck, for in- stance, united the North and South Germans by fighting a war with the French, and pre-war economic imperialism had the desire to pla- cate German capitalists as one of its main objectives. The Treaty of Versailles was Imposed on a nation that was lacking in unity and there- fore consistency of aims and meth- ods, smarting under a sense of in- feriority of long standing, and struggling with a very severe eco- nomic depression. Hitler Is Austrian Hitler and his associates were for the most part pathological Ger- mans, as one might say, because they represented in their person- alities and backgrounds the most acute of Germany's problems. Many of the leading Nazis came from the most insecure and threatened groups of minority Germans. Hit- ler is an Austrian, Rosenberg (of- ficial Nazi philosopher and member of the party's supreme council) was born in Latvia and educated in Moscow, Hess (the party's deputy leader), spent the first twelve years at his life in Kgypt ; Rihhentrop, foreign minister, came from South Africa, and Darre. minister of agri- culture, from the Argentine. These men were more or less desperate characters in that they had to struggle in a hostile environment, and from that in part they came to over-emphasize [lower. For all their protestations, they probably do not feel at home in Berlin and arc not as nationalistic as they are iinperi- Foreign Policy The foreign policy of the Hitler regime is therefore founded im the thirst for power of its -uakers; it- is by being powerful that Hitler the obscure corporal, the former resident of Vienna flop-houses, the disappointed artist, the man without a nationality achieved eminence. It is only natural that he should see everything from that angle. The Nazis have preached nationalism and stressed internal unity because tlie pathetic condition of Germany required it, hut their plans are as world-wide as the background of many of its leaders. Is it surprising that so cosmopolite :t group should he interested in several continents? The Nazis have no set and limited objectives in foreign affairs.

    Praising the new neutrality act. the Har-vard L'niversity Crimson cautions those whowill administer it in these words: "The mainburden of enforcing the act is placed uponthe president, lie it is who must definethe areas of comhat from which our shipsarc to lie excluded, and declare what coun-tries an- belligerents. The remaining de-tail- fall in the province of the state depart-ment. It is right that these duties shouldbe placed in the executive branch of thegovernment for that is its function. How-ever, the record of this branch during thepast few months indicates that it will bearclose watching."

    Another view is expressedby the L'nivers-ity of Michigan Daily: "The United Statesis not neutral. ISy repealing the arms em-bargo, it has definitely shown on which sideof the fence it is. The neutrality act, writ-ten in peace-time, was not intended to aidany foreign country. T,y changingits own,with specific countries involved, we arecertainly behaving in a most un-ncutralmanner."

    Proceeding in this same vein, the Whcat-'.n College Record says that "the act issatisfactory enough if the public wants alsoto intervene now for England, and to makeEuropean quarrels theirs. In agreeing tosell those materials which were formerlycontraband,even in the cashand carry basis,we have sided with the Allies."

    Flying ClubIs Possible

    Large Number of StudentsInterested in Aviation;

    Alumni Prominent

    Dave McLean and Bob Mil-ler have recently made an in-quiry among memhers of thestudent body concerning avia-tions and have found that there]s a surprisingly large nunibtrof SttideritS interested in this

    They found that there are morethan twenty students who havetaken flying lessons"; nine of whomhave taken the required eight hoursfor a solo rating. One private pilot'slicense is found, belonging to BobMiller. Most of these take theirlessons in Charlotte at the CannonAirport, sales agent for Aeroncaand Waco planes.

    Flying Club?Several'of these embryo aviators

    have been meeting to discuss avi-ation and flying in general. Thesestudents have also been discussingthe feasibility and possibility offorming a flying club. No definiteaction has yet been taken, but thegroup met last Monday night totry to make a decision. To thisgroup there appeared the strongneed for such an organization onthe campus. .

    Many Davidson alumni, McLeanpointed out. have attained promi-nence in the field of aviation. Mill-er Cocliran is now a high-rankinginstructor at Randolph Field inTexasv "Coley' Windham is a veryimportant officer at the naval avi-ation training"school in I'ensacola,I'la. Also studying in I'ensacolatraining school are Davidson alumniloe Kcllam and Paul Pittman.

    It's A Small World"It's a small world," says

    'Charlie Watt, a member of thesophomore clast.It ■wmi that Charlie sent to

    Chicago to purchase a second-hand copy of a Phy»ic. book,which fact, although unpatriotictoonr own Davidson book store,does not cause the world to les-sen its dimensions. However,when the book arrived, the a-forementioned quotation indeedbecame appropriate, for whenWatt looked inside the fly leaf,what should appear but thename of Charlie Hines, a lastyear's graduate. Hines and Wattare fraternity brother* androomed nest door to each otherlast year.

    the question for this week is:"What type of band do you prefer

    for Mill-Winl.ri and do you haveany preference among the currenthit bands?"Bill Perdew, Senior:

    Personally, t prefer a name hand,( if course, thru is versatile enoughto play pood swing and Rood sweetmusic; for a combination nf bothsatisfies both type! of dancers andadds necessary variety. A leaderwho is a pood master of ceremoniesU desirable. One who puts on alittle show can add considerablecolor, «et things off to a quickerMart, and "ill then turn the danc-es into a bigger success. All thisleads to one suggc-ticm, Glenn Mil-ler. He's a combination of the bestajld would make this Mid-wintersthe most outstanding vet.Billy Masters, Senior:

    With the number of top handsin the country I think that onecould he easily obtained which canplay both sweet and swing, withemphasis on the sweet. Glenn Mil-ler would fit in perfectly. I thinkKay Kyser would put on the hostshow, hut for dancing Miller by allmeans, with...Kyser or Jan Garbersecond choice.Bill Bolin, Senior:

    Jan Garber or Will Osborn aremy two choices for Mid-winterdances. In my opinion either bandwill be an excellent one for ourdances. I'm looking forward tothese dances and I hope that theyare the best ever.Miller Sproull, Junior:I prefer a versatile band with

    both sweet ami swing arrange-ments. Glenn' Miller would -comeneaTcr to fulfilling the requirementsor fulfill them as well as any handthat I know. If we net a band thatstrictly "swings it", many will bedissatisfied, or if we get a bandthat only plays slow sweet music,many will lie dissatisfied. Why notget Miller, who can do both?Winston Taylor, Junior:I would prefer a sweet swing

    hand for Mid-winters, playing a-bout three slow pieces for eachfast one. My first choice wouldbe Glenn Miller, with Charlie Barn-ette and Hal Kemp following inorder. I would prefer one largeband'for the whole set even at ahigher price.Elmer Knoeller, Sophomore:

    Preferably Iwould choose a bandthat dealt especially with sweetmusic, something on the order ofGlenn Miller or Tommy Dorsey.Last year we had two bands forthe dances. This year. I woidd rec-ommend one good big name bandfor the whole set, even if it meantan additional dollar or two."Porkie' Woodward, Sophomore:

    By all means a big name band. Ithink the plan last year was fine,but Ibelieve that it would be bet-ter to have one band for the wholeset. I prefer a swooth sweet handwith variety. Glenn Gray is mychoice for a better set of dancesand under the present conditionsshould think that he would be ,better from the Pan-Hellenic stainpoint.Jpe Barnwcll, Freshman:

    ir~a~ TresTiman fnay-frp "so^bom1-

    at

    to voice an opinion in such a mattcr. then Iwould like to express mypreference for the Mid-Winter'band. We woidd all agree that aband that is versatile enough to"send" even the most enthusiast]Jittcrburgs and at the same timplease the smooth dancers would ban intelligent choice. Charlie Barnette's band of recent popularity iswell qualified for both styles ofplaying without the least bit of"corn", and therefore receives myvote for the delightful Mid-winterdances.Hector MacLean,Junior:

    YupIIam in favor of getting oneof the good Hawaiian bands to layus an illusion of blue moonlight andthe beach at Waikiki for Mid-Winters. Iam against the ri-di-dilads and think that only a native-outfit can provide that mellowbackground which is so conduciveto a successful week-end. After all,the dances are not really the in-tegral part of the week-end butmerely form a background for in-troductions and trivialities.

    There are any number of suchgarland - bedecked organizationstouring the countryside and Ithink the Council could secure oneof the best with no great exer-

    . tion on their part.

    That the classics are slowlyluit surely waning in popular-ity is the inevitable conclusionfrom a study of figures onjregistration for courses com-

    :piled by Registrar F. \V.Hengeveld.

    At present tiiere are 12' studentsjenrolled in the course leading to

    ■ an A B, 1 degree,' This number haslshown a steady decrease since thetirst decade of the century.

    Also decreasing in enrollment ■arejthe courses leading to an A. B, 1degree. Only 89 are registered forthat degree*this year.

    B. S. 1 IncreatingDespite a slight drop from la^t

    year's number, the B. S. 1 enroll-ment is gradually increasing. This!year it numbers -'12 students, ;i re-|lativcly IukIi percentage of the stu-dent body.

    Leading in popularity, however, isB. S. i. This course has attracted.'_7 students, over half the entirestudent body, and has shown asteady increase since it was firstoffered.

    Largest EnrollmentEnglish is the single study most :

    in demand, with an enrollment of4.i.}. Next in order are IJibie with!391, and economics with 258. t'oli-

    'tical science, mathematics and his-tory follow close with 2-48, 240, and217 respectively. Next most popu-lar group is the natural sciences :biology 198; cheniistry 136, and phy-sic*; 106.

    Despite the decline of the clas-sics, modern languages s|in\v upwell with Spanish in the lead with171. French next with 167, and (Jer-man with 122.

    Other subjects attracting overfifty students are : psychology 97tbusiness 75. geography 72. andastronomy 66.

    The advantages of this new kitidof teaching procedure are summedup by one of the professors in these jwords: "This technique keeps the:subject alive.
