In the Chat's Letters to the Editor
column this week there is a letter
from the Committee Aprimt Intol-
erance in America proposing the or-
ganization of a mixed army division
made up of white* and negroes. The
committee believes that we can havf
a greater army if we let the races
light in the name divisions, thus in-
creasing our chance* for ultimate vic-
tory.
The Chat printa the committee'*
letter with the comment that we be-
lieve both sided of the que*tion should
be considered. Whether a mixed divis-
ion of whites arid black* would be a
more efficient fighting force than an
all-white or an all-black division i* a
question that has not been answered
because it has not (so far a* we ar«-
able to learn) been tried before. We
are inclined to think it would be a
failure.
We do not agree with the commit
tee and we cannot support it* plan.
We have no quarrel with the black
race and we believe that the two races
should get along with as little friction
as possible. But we believe we can
<io it without asking the whites aim
the blacks to live and tight and die
together as social equals.
We do not believe our attitude in-
tolerant. Each of the race* has it*
own set of high ideals and each be-
lieves itself superior in many way* to
the other. Self-respecting member* of
either race, in most cases, would pre-
fer to maintain their racial independ-
ence.
Yes, it will take both white and
negro soldiers to win this war. But
let's win it by keeping our army di-
visions separate. North Texas stu-
dents arc willing to give everything
for America, but most of us had ra-
ther do our fighting in an ull-white
division of the army. Then if our ne-
gro buddies need help, we'll lend a
hand.
PcU^uUUm ^Uat PayL
A lot of the North Texas men are
finding that patriotism pays—and is
fun, too.
When the government froze tire
sales, there were some almost imper-
ceptible grumbles from the male ele-
ment who hated to see moonlit auto
drives doomed. And when the manu-
facture of silk hose ceased, the men
fussed a little because they hated to
think of the cotton stockings that
women may have to wear very soon.
But the latest government order has
made every North Texas man happy
-- and a lot of other men over the
nation besides.
The manufacture of razor blades
has been drastically cut and may be
stopped altogether before the war
n il. At least, a strict rationing pro-
gram will almost certainly be insti-
tuted. Or so the males hope.
Whiskers may bloom again on the
North Texas campus, and the men
students hope they will. Shaving is
the om chore moat men hate, mm! R
will be a real pleasure to pas* up the
morning shave for the sake of patrio-
tism Most of us can hardly wait un-
til the great day come* when we can
throw our razor out of the window
and let the forest grow.

Word comes from Washington that
the nation's Defense Bond and Stamp
sales are declining. During the last
two months, sale of bonds and stamps
has steadily declined and leaders are
worried. , ^
We can't stop now Our govern-
ment needs our support and
to keep on buying.

Sir
The t'ouneil Airainst Intolerance
in America ha. prop«>sed to the
War Department that a mixed
(white and colored I division tie
formed an u practical expression
of the democratic belief that all
men are created <i|tial.
Thf formation of such a division
would do much to offset the danger
to national morale inherent In the
policy of segregation and would be
of the greatest value in creating
that national unity which is essen-
tial for victory Moreover, the for
mat ion of such a mixed division
would have significant and heart-
ening effect on the morale of the
hundreds of millions of allies in
China. India and British Africa
who would find it a concrete in-
stance of the democratic ideal for
which we are fighting
From the Revolutionary War
days, through the t'ivil, Spanish
and First World War, the Ameri-
can Negro has a splendid history
as a fighter las a matter or record,
two privates of the :u>Sith Infantry,
Negro, were the first Americans to
be decorated with the Croix tie
(Incite in HMHj The proposal to
form the mixed division was first
made at a Victory through Unity
Conference in New York City by
Professor Alonmo Myers of New
York University, who stated his
conviction that "a man who is good
enough to fight for me is good
enough to tight with me." Since
that time hundreds of individuals
have offered their support of the
plan and signified their willingness
to serve in such a division if
formed.

PLATTER PARADE
Wealth of Charm
M akes Concerto
Popular with Fans
One of the best record releases
of recent date is the t hausson ( on-
i-i-rto for solo violin, piano, and
string quartet. Tnis interesting
combination of instruments does
not, of course, constitute u con-
certo in the usual sense of the
term.
The album, one of the Victor
Musical Masterpiece Series, con
sists of four discs. The composition
is performed by a coterie of top-
notch artists. Jascha lleifetx plays
the solo piano in the usual warm
and masterly manner, Jesus San-
mina, well-known pianist in Bos
ton circles, performs the piano part
with characteristic lire. The
Musical Art Quartet furnishes the
substantial background for the
composition.
Perhaps no student in composi-
tion has ever more clearly reflected
the characteristics of his teacher
than does Ernest Chausson. His
style in tiany respects so closely
resembles that of his teacher, Ce-
sar Franck, that one uufamiliar
with a composition by either would
be hard put to it to determine
which of the two masters was the
composer. The latter composer is
of modern harmonic invention,
foreshadowing the more remark-
able innovations of Debussy by a
generation. Chausson took over
front his teacher the harmonic tools
and many melodic cliches.
The work, which was composed
in 1891, is a four-movement com-
position of moderate length. The
first, movement opens with a three-
note motive emphatically announc-
ed by the piano and used through-
out the movement. On the whole,
the movement maintains musical
interest by frequent exchange of
material between violin and piano,
the latter instrument especially ac-
tive for the virtuoao oerformer.
Second Movement ia Dance
The second movement ia a short
Sicilienne, an old dance form from
Sicily, in slow 6-8 meter. This
movement has a very captivating
swinging rhythm and a charming,
restful mood.
The third movement is charac-
terized by more feeling and depth
than that revealed in the other
three movements.
The fourth and last movement
has an appeal largely due to the
lively syncopated rhythms of ita
two main themes. Here again the
piano and the aoto violin pass the
themes around in a lively manner
Taken aa a whole, the most out-
standing feature of the work is ita
harmonies with the unmistakable
Franckian cliches of chordal pro-
gression and the inevitable modu-
lations giving the effect of constant
shifting tonality. A fair estimate
of the music should point out that
thia la neither great nor profound,
hut it has a wealth of charm which
mflies It a worthwhile addition
te anjr raeord library. ~H. M.

Prima Donna on Music Faculty
Is Also International Personage
By NaDeane Walker
Chat Associate Editor
According to her publicity releases,
Olive Bond, newest addition to the
North Texas music department, is
quite an international person. Pub-
licity releases are not always strictly
reliable, but this one does not exag-
gerate. Born in South Africa, educat-
ed in Belgium, well known for her
operatic appearances on three conti-
nents, Miss Bond's personal history
reads like a lesson in world geogra-
phy.
Though she prepared to go on the
dramatic stage and did not take up
opera until after her graduation from
college, it was a natural thing that
olive Bond turned out to be a prima
donna after all. Her grandmother had
appeared in ballad concerts in Kng-
land, and her mother was singing in
the memorial services to Queen Vic-
toria in Durban, South Africa, about
the turn of the century.
African Birth Wu Accident
Miss Bond happened to be born in
South Africa because her father was
there at Johannesburg, 1 a m o u s
gold mining center on business. She
lived there until she was 10, and re-
calls the British colonial life of many
servants and gay society, under a
British governor. Because all South
Africans go "home" to Europe almost
yearly, Miss Bond made several trips
to England and the United States.
In Belgium for a year's study, she
'a
learned to speak French like a native,
and she has since perfected her Ital-
ian and German, and is now learning
Spanish.
The Bonds came back to the United
States to live after the outbreak of
the first World War. Miss Bond says
she just missed both world wars- the
hrst because she came back by way
of Australia, and the second because
she left Europe a step ahead of it. In

Miss Bond graduated from Welles-
ley and studied at a New York dra- ,
inatics school. She went abroad in
light opera, later taking up grand
opera. Her lirst professional appear-
ance was in Italy.
Appearing with the Teatro Lyrico
at Milan, and in 20 other Italian cities,
Miss Bond Latinized her name to
Olivia Bondi. One of her biggest sur-
prises came at the Municipal Opera
House in Algiers when u box of roses
sailed out of a box and lunded on top*,
of her head. The gesture was intended
as a compliment, but it left the prima
donna rather dazed.
In the United States, Olive Bond
has appeared in Town Hull, N. Y'., and
many other American cities. In Texas
for the first time, she says she finds
the country particularly beautiful and
Texans extremely patriotic and proud
of their state.
Amusement Merry-Go-Round
By Charles Dameron
A romantic fun-for-all with thrills
and all that stufi" is headed this way
by stars Kay Milland and I'aulette
Goddard. It is Paramount's spy-hunt
movie, "The Lady Has Plans," which
is due to arrive Sunday at the Texas
Theater.
From all accounts, this is an hilari-
ous film, teeming with suspense and
racing with action. The story revolves
around an ace newscaster. Milland,
who is stationed in Lisbon, from
which intrigue-steeped city he tries
to keep America posted on European
goings-on. To get the news and give
it, he needs an assistant, and it is
Paulette Goddard who gets the as-
signment.

One of the most interesting things
about the inside of Hollywood now is
the effect that the war is having on
the film capital, particularly in re-
gard to the problem of actors. Film
fans are still seeing their favorite
big-time, top-notch actors in picture
releases from Cinemaland, but it
won't be long until a lot of Academy-
Award film names will disappear
from the top of billings. .
With some of the most versatile*'
actors in the world now serving in
some branch of the armed forces, the
motion picture public is scheduled to
see a new crop of film stars ... and
