Commenting on the new fish hat- I
chore program the Charlotte Obser- j
ver lays: (
Oac important proposition in the (
promotion of the welfare of the state ,
provide*; by the present administre-J
tion and one which has had but scant
notice at the hands of the public, is j
that of developing the.fisheries industry.
To that end hatcheries ar*. '
to be located at strategic points in
both coastal and mountain sections,
and the people of Watauga, alert to '
the advantages, made strong pull for
the location of a hatchery. Proposed
sites were investigated but difficulty
developed in securing title to a site. {
Word was passed around that aban- '
donment of the scheme, so far as I
Watatfgfa was concerned was in con-'
teinp!ation. Then came forward aj '
public spirited mountain man in thet
person of Mr. Bait Cook, with pre-'
soniation to t r-< . .ate of sufficient'^
land at tfcuthcriv.?<>d, six mile- from
Boone, upon which to establish the!
jj hatchery. Water and land v.er< exactly
suited i?. ill:.' purpose and the
State tto'.jrfenlY ... s pted the gift but j
neat irorru-lia > to woi k getting the
hatcherv busier way. The Watauga;

Ifeve thai anyone who has been coj
n^cted with the university for a tin
will agree with me that there i^no
less drink hi# among the 2,000 st'
dents here than there was amoi
the six or seven hundred at the Ur
versity fifteen years ago, with tl
exception oi a relapse mat occurr<
just after the war. a relapse that w;
country wide, drinking has stedi
diminished.M
"The regulations of the truste<
requires that the faculty dismiss fro
the university any student that
found guilty of drinking intoxicatir
liquors. It is a statement, not mere
that a student has no right to g
drunk, hut that he has no right
take a drink on the campus. This
the regulation under which the fa
uity was acting, and this reguiath
was specifically reaffirmed by tl
trustees at their la?t meeting,"
