The unanimous acclaim accorded Mr. Janis recently in Russia has now become musical history. For the past five years, Miss Vinson has been a student of Dr. Robert Carter of the East Caro- lina College School of Music. Dur- ing this time Miss Vinson was chosen in open competition to play the Bartook Concerto No. 3 with the North Carolina Symphony Orchestra, Dr. Benjamin Swalin, conductor. Last season she ap- peared in New York City in con- cert and this year has several en- gagements to fulfil. As a sophomore at East Caro- lina College she won the orchestral appearance with the college or- chestra and played the Beethoven Concerto No . 3 in C Minor. Miiss Vinson is just one of sev- eral students that are achieving distinction in applied music through the hands of Dr. Carter. Tasker Polk, a former student of Dr. Garter's, is now in Basel, Switzer- land, studying with Paul Baum- gartner. Mr. Polk had the honor of playing at the Governor's Man- sion two times last season. Hs also gave two performances at the North Carolina Museum of Art in Raleigh. Mr. Polk played with the North Carolina Sym- Hand Ccncerto. A nother student. Miss Carolyn Hinton, has this semester received the highest and most coveted award the School of Music of the Univer- sity of Indiana has to offer?the Performer's Certificate. This award is given to one student only.

Recently, a report was issued by the Committee on the Foreign Student in American Col- leges and Universities. Leading educators studied the report and endorsed a call for U. S. colleges and uni- versities to re-examine the philosophies, objectives and operation of their foreign student program. The report says that schools must recognize the significance of foreign students as basic and essential parts of their educational missions, and points out what the committee calls a "new dimension of educational exchange that of furthering the development of emerg- ing countries. "In vigorously pursuing their own primary goals? the advancement and diffusion of knowledge?colleges and universities contribute also to a primary goal ot United States foreign policy?the preservation and sup- port of free nations around the world Actually, it should not have taken a special com- mittee to remind us of the need to educate those foreign students in our schools. But an even more important aspect of the problems concerning foreign students is the treatment which these individuals undergo while enrolled in American schools. Their education may exude quality; but if they return to their own countries disgruntled with the attitudes of the Americans they have contacted, they will scarcely employ this educa- tion in any way to benefit America or its foreign policy. Yet the ethnocentric American frequently refuses to accept foreign students on an equal level with Amer- ican students. Americans usually have never gotten outside their own tiny sphere of interests. In conse- quence, they fail to realize the tremendous insecurity felt when one is living in a strange culture. Insecurity can rapidly develop into dislike if some attempt is not made to assuage the feelings of strangeness and dif- ference.But Americans treat foreign students stand- off ishly and at times extremely rudely. For example, one student, Martin Abeln, who was returned home to the Netherlands. He has written caustic comments on observations from his six-month stay m the U S. The allegations may or may not be true, but the point is that Martin Abeln has returned home bit- ter A potentiallv useful "ambassador for the U. S. has been lost, and in fact has become an outspoken anti- American element. Many such incidents certainly would not help create a favorable image of the U. S. abroad. Outrages against foreign students continue to oc- cur in American schools, East Carolina is no exception. We ourself committed one such injustice recently when we made an unnecessarily strong comment in an edi- tor's note to a letter written by a foreign student. The letter deserved the comment; but did it if read in the light that the student had been in this country less than a year? More recently, a college offical misused his posi- tion to discriminate against a foreign student. The stu- dent has been at the college for one year as an above average student. He requested to borrow money under an available program; money, which, under the pro- visions of these programs he is entitled to borrow. At first he was merely put off with an "I'll see what I can do After a month or more, when he pressed the matter, he was told rather curtly that the members of the loan committee had been unofficially contacted and were "not in the mood Justifiably, this student was upset. Faced with such treatment in a foreign country he had no real alternative but acceptance. But the repre- hensible action of one college official scarred his im- pressions of America. Is this what America wants? In the future we hope that all America wants? In the future we hope that all Americans will realize their responsibility and act accordingly.

The briefer they are, the better is the prospect of publication. Letters should be kept to a maximum of 250 words. They should also be of general interest. All are subject to condensation and should conform to the standards of decency and good taste. We assume no responsibility for statements made. All letters to the BAST CAROLINIAN must be signed. Names will be withheld on request if the Editor can be shown sufficient reason for doing so. I have gone into frequent tirades on the necessity of education in the use of the English language to facilitate communication. The other day & friend gave me the following sentences from actual letters received by the Depart- ment of Welfare. They are indica- tive of what results when people cannot effectively use language and its rules. I am forwarding my marriage certificate and six children. I have seven but one died vvhdch was bap- tized on a half sheet of paper. I am writing the welfare de- artment to say that my baby was born two years old. When do I get my money? I cannot get sick pay. I have six children. Can you tell me why? Mrs. Jones has not had any clothes for a year and has been visited by the clergy regularly. I am glad to report that my husband who was reported missing, is dead. Please find for certain if my husband is dead, as the man I am now living with can't eat or do nothing until he finds out. I am very much surprised to find that you have branded my boy as illiterate. This is a dirty lie. I was married to his father a week before he was born. In answer to your letter, I have given birth to a boy weighing ten pounds. I hope this is satisfactory. Unless I get my husband's money pretty soon, I will be forced to live an immortal (sic) life. I am forwarding my marriage certificate and my three children, one of which is a mistake as you can see. My husband got laid off from his job two weeks ago, and I haven't had any relief since. In accordance with your instruc- tions, I have given birth to twins in the enclosed envelope. You have changed my little boy to a gfri. Will this make any dif- ference ? I have no children as yet as my husband is a bus driver and works all day and nighL I want my money as quick as I can get it. I have been in bed with a doctor for two weeks and he hasn't done me any good. If things don't improve, 1 will have to send for another doctor.?June Grimes In 1923, eight of the most successful financiers 1 Chicago.
