Dr. Graham Urges Action On Federal Aid For Education Calling for timely action in behalf of bills for federal aid to education, and to hospital and rural health cen ters, now pending in Congress, Dr. Frank P. Graham, President of the University of North Carolina and member of the War Labor Board, said in an address here today that these two bills "will fill two of the glaring gaps in the recent progressive move ments t to build a more productive, democratic and humane America." Asserting that the South has a great stake in the two bills, President Graham said that "shocking facts, desperate needs, and democratic logic make these bills of far-reaching value to the rural' people of America in 1 general and to the Southern people in particular." President Graham spoke at the an nual Summer Institute of the Alaba ma State Congress of Parents and Teachers at Alabama Polytechnic In- stitute. He pointed out that these two bills 'provide, "1. for more equal educational opportunity for. all children regard less of the state in which they are born, and 2. for more medical care of all people, especially including the rural people as a basic part of the American people. Tax Rate "In the Southern states, in spite of the comparatively . high tax rate for schools, we find the lowest expendi ture per child in the nation with a . consequent loss in skills and creative power for both the section and the na- : tion," he said. "The Southern states, ! with damage to themselves and the whole nation, have the worst records in infant mortality, in the death of mothers, in the proportion of doctors, hospital beds, and the rejections of young men by the Army for physical unfitness." He emphasized that "hard figures and the democratic logic of the Amer ican system made clear that without federal aid there could not be equal educational opportunity in America and there could not be equal opportun ity for adequate medical care and pub lic health in America." i Present National Crisis President Graham said the "present national crisis in public education is a crisis in American democracy. Teachers are quitting the schools and emergency certificates have been is sued to 80,000 substandard teachers, Some 197,000 teachers receive less than $1,200 a year and 28,000 less than ?600. Enrollment in teacher training is down over 50 percent. "It was found in the interests of public welfare in the recent pre-war years for the federal government to spend $300,000,000 a year on 300,000 , young men in the CCC. It is certain- iy not less in the national interest in the post-war years to spend $300, 000,000 toward equal educational op portunity of 26,300,000 school chil dren. . Federal aid for the schools is longrun sound economy. Our debt is too tremendous for us to pinch our way out. We must invest in the in telligence of our children and create our way out into a nobler prosperity. "This amount ol federal aid will be on top of the more than twobillion now spent by the several states. On the basis of the spending bill the states will, as now, provide approxi mately 88 percent of the support and the federal government approximate ly 12 percent. In addition, the bill ex plicitly guarantees state and local con trol of the schools. Coming 8 P. M. Civil Air Patrol, Phillips Hall.

Source of - Freedom Federal aid to the schools on such a basis, 4ie said, is "in the nature, logic, and responsibility of the historic American dual structure whose con stitutional frame, worked out in the Philadelphia Constitution of 1787, is based on a union of states and a na tion of people. Both the states, in their several sovereignties, and the people, as a whole, have joint respon sibilities in the education of children who are to become citizens of the state and citizens of the nation. Federal aid to the states for education has been the American tradition since the Northwest Ordnance of 1787. Acts of Congress "More than one hundred acts of Congress have provided federal aid for the schools and always without fed eral control. The proponents and the opponents of the bill are all against federal control of the school. This principle against federal control of schools is in. the American tradition and is emphatically written in the pending bill. "The federal government, with all its historic federal aid to the land grant colleges, leaves them free. The greatest guarantee of liberty is equal ity of opportunity for all the children of the people. The direct threat to liberty is inequality with her palace guard of privilege, monopoly, and in justice. For more than a century American liberty was preserved and advanced in the equal opportunity in the free lands in the west. Those lands are closed. The chief, source of American freedom and democracy can be preserved and refreshed by the equal opportunity of all children in the free schools of all states and all peo ple. "Freedom and democracy, lately re nounced or crushed in almost, half the world, are now on the march again on all the fronts of the world. With fed eral aid to the states for the schools, freedom will move forward again in America as the continental home of the people upon whom turned the global war and upon whom will tujcn the future of freedom, justice and peace for the peoples of the United Nations of the world." STUDENTS MEET i (Continued from first page) decided that - Leatherman should re main as president of the Carolina Athletic Association and a motion was made to the effect that an elec tion for vice-president of the Caro lina . Athletic Association should be held July 24. Vacancies in the Finance Commit tee, the Rules Committee, and the Ways and Means Committee were filled by election. Jaffries was elected to replace Jimmy Wallace as chair man of the Finance Committee. Art Adams was elected as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee; and Pete Pulley, as chairman of the Rules Committee. The possibility of reviving Music Under the Stars was discussed, and it was stated that Graham Memorial had the necessary equipment and that the Y would like to act as co-sponsor of the programs. Music Under the Stars was discontinued by the admin istration last summer but Dean Hobbs stated that he thought it could be held this summer in Forest theater, and that the programs might possibly start next week-end. PARTY (Continued from first page) our history. I believe that Carolina should take once again the place that it once held as one of the leading de bate centers of southern universities. Cohne Smith, Coed candidate for Legislature: I have " lived in Chapel . Hill all of my life and since being in the Uni versity I have become very interest ed in. student government. I feel that my contacts with town students make me better qualified to represent them in the Legislature. Chuck Heath, Marine candidate for Legislature: If I am elected to represent the Marine detachment in the Legisla ture, I pledge myself: ' ' To be present at all meetings of the Legislature! and to take an active part in its activities whenever pos sible. To represent the Marines on cam pus to the best of my ability by con sulting them before voting on major issues. To give my undivided attention to all matters which concern the Marine detachment on campus. To do all within my power to fur ther the Carolina. tradition of student government, school spirit, and good fellowship on the Carolina campus. Roy Thompson, Student Party chairman, had the following state ment to make concerning next week's election: "I believe that in presenting this slate the Student Party is continuing in its traditional policy of presenting the best-qualified candidates regard less of their connections with other campus organizations. Campaigning up to now, has set a new high in Caro lina politics. I am sure that members of both parties join me in the hope that we'll get through this election without any of the mud-slinging and general hell-raising that has been so closely associated with our elections in the past. Let's all turn out and vote next Tuesday, and may the best man for Carolina win in every office University Party Bob Fahey, Vice-President of CAA: High School athletics: Football and baseball for three years, captain of baseball team in senior year.

Bynum Hunter, Vice-President: YMCA Group Holds Weekly Meeting Here The YMCA Cabinet held its regu lar meeting last Tuesday night, July 17, at 7:30 in the Methodist church. f The main event of the meeting was the announcement that the Cabinet will work in cooperation with Gra ham Memorial and the Freshman Friendship Council in presenting en tertainment programs. Friday Night Frolics will be held every week in the Y court; in case of rain, in the main lounge of Graham Memorial. A tea dance will be held every Saturday af ternoon in Grahajn Memorial.

The Tar Heels have a tough sche dule to follow this fall, and they're not going to be world-beaters by any means. But those who know Coach Snavely figure they'll be a much-improved ball club before the two com ing practice periods are over and that they'll be a breather for no one.

SMOOT (Continued from page two) nor can be found. This was not the . first attempt in furthering such re lationships. Student-faculty asso ciations at Duke are not 100 stilted there are a . few who ex tend their hands and aspire to be more than a classroom' figurehead, but only a few. But here it is a different story. Here the feeling of complete friend liness exists not only on the streets, in the homes, but in the classrooms as well without- relenting one iota of respect or admiration on the part of either. WILKINS (Continued from page two) and modern society. This last point, I think, is best illustrated in the fact that at Carolina, Washington's 8 to 1 man-shortage ratio is almost inverted. Carolina and G. W. U. are among the most liberal and progressive universities in the country.

Our slate has been chosen with care and only after great deliberation. I am very happy that the cam paign has progressed this far with so little name-calling and hope that this good start will be continued. Most important of all, I wish to urge every student to come to the. polls and vote according to his conscience this com ing Tuesday. Local OPA Gives Chart To Help Curb Inflation (Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of articles written by a repre sentative of the local OPA. The Tar Heel is presenting this to cooperate with the government's program to prevent inflation.)- 1. On entering a restaurant or cafe look around for the establishment's ceiling price poster. This i3 a stand ard form some 24 by 18 inches sup plied by the OPA. The poster is cap tioned "Our Ceiling Prices" in black printed letters. Below are the estab lishment's legal ceiling prices for up to forty items of food and drink. The items with their corresponding ceil ing prices are written or typed in by the establishment. Poster Violation . 2, If you are unable to find a ceil ing price poster or if you find it placed where, it is concealed from view, or incapable of being read by the customer, the establishment is in violation. You should report this vio lation immediately to the local price panel clerk at the office of the War Price and Rationing Board in the Town Hall. Items Priced 3. If you are in a cafeteria each separate item on the counter should be accompanied by a sign stating its price. If any prices on the counter arehigher than the prices of identical items appearing on the ceiling price poster, the establishment is in viola tion. You should report this violation immediately to the local price panel clerk, giving the name of the estab lishment and the item or items with respect to which the violation oc curred. Difference! 4. If any food items on display on the counter are different from those which are listed on the ceiling price poster, they should represent sub stantially the same food value for the price charged as the nearest compar able items which appear on the poster. Moreover, the price charged for such items may be no higher than the highest price shown for compar able items on this poster. If you are in doubt as to the price charged for any such item, communicate the facts to the Price Panel Clerk. Prices Based 5. A restaurant's posted ceiling prices are based on the prices it JANITORS (Continued from first page) ity. The new raise is. Even when we make a gain, we, lose." In a letter to Mr. Clark, J. A. Wil liams said: "There will be a new 'bonus' for all employees if the State Budget Bureau finds that there is a sufficient surplus in the State Treas ury. There is no cause, for alarm be cause there will be a delay in paying this bonus. It will be retroactive to July 1, 1945." Thus it is seen that the University Administration is working to get a raise for the janitors. How ever, the Administration is not prom ising anything until the raise is an accomplished fact. . The janitors apparently do not have much faith in the "if." When asked, "How do you think the University is acting in regards to your request for a raise?" one of the janitors said bluntly, "The University is just play ing around." As Mr. Clark emphasized in an interview, "We want ome assurance that we will get a raise or a new 'war bonus'." The Administration, the Tar Heel found, is cautious about committing itself, believing that ac tions speak louder than words. Chancellor House . Chancellor House, in a statement on general University policy, said: "The University would like, more than any one else, to increase the salaries of all employees. This can be done when there is enough money to do so." Mr. House 'did not wish to comment on the janitors' case. One of the professors in Bingham discussed the position of the janitors and of the Administration at some length. He called attention to many complicating factors in the case. In conclusion, he stated, "I will say that I think the janitors are justified in asking for a 50 cent minimum, but the case is too complex for one to make such a statement." He also pointed out that people in the library receive as low as 40 cents an hour wages, and said not to forget the faculty. There is general unrest throughout the University. Most if not all con nected with the University say that wages and salaries are far too low, and that the State Legislature should appropriate more money for the Uni versity. Headline in a New York news paper: FATHER OF TEN SHOT; MISTAKEN FOR RABBIT. I charged for food and meals in the week from April 4 to April 10, 1943. It is obliged to offer the same pro portion of low to high priced meals and food items as it offered in this base week. If a restaurant actually has on sale only the high priced items which appear on its ceiling price poster and has'-discontinued the sale of the low priced meals or items, it is in violation and the facts should be reported tothe Price Panel Clerk. List New Foods 6. If a restaurant has written or printed menus, the prices appearing on such menus may be no higher than the prices for identical items appear ing on the ceiling price poster. New food items or meals appearing on the menu may be no higher than the highest prices for meals or food items of the same class appearing, on the ceiling price poster. In other words, if the highest price for any meat item on the ceiling price poster is 50 cents, no meat item on the menu may be priced at more than 50 cents even though it represents a new and more expensive item. Food Panel 7. If they deem it necessary in order to- substantiate a complaint to the Price Panel, patrons are entitled to request an itemized receipt for food items purchased. Refusal to give a re ceipt on request constitutes a viola tion and should be reported. Student Reporter 8. A student who feels that he has been overcharged need not enter into a discussion or argument with the proprietor. All he needs to do is to report the relevant facts to the Price Panel which will conduct the investigation from there on. Com plaints may be telephoned to the Price Clerk at the offices of the Rationing Board F-3321. To insure investigation of his complaint, the complainant must give his name but his identity will be kept secret by the Price Panel. A letter or a visit to the office of the Rationing Board and the filing of a formal complaint constitutes tho morev satisfactory procedure. Dr. Swalin W rites Article On State Symphony Orchestra An article concerning the need of North Carolina for a symphony or chestra, which will appear in state pa pers Sunday, was written by Dr. Ben jamin F. Swalin, conductor of the present symphony orchestra and mem ber of the University music faculty. Written in connection with the pres ent orchestra campaign, the article discusses the educational and moral values to be derived from exposure to great music, and the subsequent good a permanent symphony orchestra would accomplish for the ' people of North Carolina as a remedy to the process of cultural decentralization now taking place in the United States. Tea Dance Harvey White, director of Graham Memorial, announced yesterday that a Tea Dance would be held in the Gra ham Memorial lounge Saturday after noon beginning at 4 o'clock. Music will be by recordings. New Information Now Available on Merchant Marine Appointments Dr. W. D.' Perry of the Bureau of Military and Vocational Information has announced that new information has been received regarding the ap pointment of Cadet-Midshipmen in the U. S. Merchant Marine Cadet Corps. Any information, including dates given may be obtained from the Bu reau of Military and Vocational In formation.
