Dr. FitzGerald Reviews J By de Palencia, Noted Sp Students Should Read "I Must Have Liberty" Says Modern Language Prof. By Dr. Thomas Fitzgerald (Department of Modern Languages) A student recently wrote for me that Armando Palacio Valdes must have been a very egotistical man to think that people would be interested in his Novela de un Novelista. What a lot of "very egotistical" writers there have been in the world! And what a lot of deluded readers, who have been enjoying autobiog raphies in one form or another for centuries and centuries--even when not required reading in connection with courses in collegel Egotism is almost as ubiquitous in human nature as the element sodium is in the nature around us. The egotism.of my student's position is quite evident-and entirely unobjectionable. She was merely taking out on Palacio Valdes her spite at an instructor who dictatorially told her to read La Novela without asking her if she cared to do so. Egotistical Autobiographies Autobiographies may be inherently egotistical, but the wide and in creasing sale of them shows that readers very generally overlook it. Since I do not believe that students are very different from other people, I am recommnending that students at Carolina, especially the young women who are studying Spanish, read a recently published autobi ography called "I Must Have Liberty." The writer and subject is a distinguished Spanish woman who has had a remarkable life. The story is one that should give hope and stimula tion to any reader who admires an indomitable spirit. Senora de Palencia is a perfect representative of the best in Spanish civilization and she would be an honor to any people. The record of her active life is the story of a very intelligent, energetic, courageous, religious, freedom-lov ing, and, above all, utterly feminine character. Are Spaniards Lazy Perhaps you have thought that those are not all Spanish characteris tics. One thing you have heard is that Spaniards are lazy. Perhaps some of them are, in a way: the same way that students are-preferring too often to spend their energies on activities that "grown-ups" consider something less than the most essential-but not really lazy. Senora de Palenica has spent her energies on a variety of things; newspaper reporting, magazine editing and publishing, working for the betterment of the position of women in Spain, lecturing, writing, repre senting her country on *various international commissions, serving as diplomatic representative, and taking care of a family. That represents the expenditure of enough energy to prove that at least not all Spaniards are lazy. Bit of course, proof of that existed before. We knew it from the long and gallant fight that democratic Spaniards put up against great odds to protect their country from Nazi and Fascist invasion after July, 1936; some of that story is in this hook. Upper Class View There are other books that give in more detail and with more docu mentation the story of that war, but none that I know gives a more humanly interesting account of it.

Youth Congress Campus Organization Will Not Participate In Youth League's Programs The Carolina Newman Club, at a recent meeting, adopted a resolution condemning the American Youth Congress for its irreligous and sub versive activities. The adoption followed a discus sion of the practices and policies of the Congress. Excerpts from the re port of the Dies Committee giving evidence of Communistic influence in the Congress were read to the club, and also several articles from current magazines and newspapers. The resolution, which was for merly adopted by the Nationai Fed eration of Newman Clubs, reads as follows: "Resolved: That the New man Club, in its loyalty to God and Country, again records its disap proval of the irreligious and subver. sive tendencies of the American Youth Congress." The club further resolved that it refused to participate in any way with an organization such as the American Youth Co%ggress which it believes to be a "front" for Soviet Russia's Left Wing in America.
