AN EDITORIAL
The University of North Caro
lina, whose place in the southern
educational firmament knows no
peer, faces today virtual extinc
tion should the "economy" bloc
in the General Assembly culmin
ate its crushing victory of yes
terday in the follow-up of the
Bowie-Cherry bill. Against the
sound recommendations of au
thorities in the field and states
manship, those interests who
would "save North Carolina
from a Sales Tax," yet relegate
education in North Carolina to
almost Reconstruction Era
standing, moved resolutely and
with heartless finality to crip
ple the State's proudest educa
tional institution.
In 1929 the then unconsoli
dated University enjoyed a
grant of $894,000, even then a
figure considerably lower than
that of previous years. Even in
that period the University found
its struggle for pre-eminence
difficult, and with increasing re
morse saw the further slashing
of her bounty through the en
siling years.
Today, not the University
alone, but N. C. C. W. and State
Dr. Graham Reviews Fight Over
Returning from Raleigh
shortly after 9 :00 o'clock last
night after a hard day's fight in
the behalf of education, Dr.
Frank P. Graham, at the request
OI 1HE Lf AILY 1AR HEEL. IOr a
statement in reference to ' the
Bowie-Cherry appropriation bill,
issued the following statement
shortly after 10:30 o'clock:
"In the House of Representa
tives Thursday night a group of
men, mainly young men, stood
out against the hysteria of the
hour and spoke their bit for all
of North Carolina. In their
deep concern for their alma
mater they would not trade their
state.
"They stood for the commit
tee bill with all its items de
structively low, but yet higher
than the ruinous substitute bill.
They spoke against the devasta
tion of essential departments;
they spoke for the public schools,
health, and welfare, libraries,
hospitals, and a fairer deal to
the Negro institutions. They
would not go over to the sub
stitute bill on the better chance
for a particular increase.
"They were standing for some
thing bigger than any institu

WIRE HOME IMMEDIATELY
In view of the recent developments on the floors of the
Legislature which may cause a set-back in North Carolina's
education such that a decade of development will not cover
up, the Daily Tar Heel urges that members of the student
body wire their home folks immediately, requesting them
to bring their influence to bear upon the Senators in the
Legislature from their districts to solicit these Legislators'
support in fighting the attack now being waged on education
in the state.
If the proponents of the Bowie-Cherry are successful in
their campaign, the University of North Carolina as well as
the other educational institutions in the state will suffer tre
mendously. The last chance to stop this murderous on
slaught will come when this bill comes before the Senate.
If sufficient support is rallied to the educational cause, the
bill might be defeated.
By wiring home and asking their parents' influence in this
matter, the students here will be rendering the University
an invaluable service.
Wire home immediately!
College hover on the brink of a
bleak chasm at the hands of
those interests who apparently
"fear the wrath of the folks back
home." The appropriation for
these three is $644,800, approxi
mately two hundred thousand
dollars lower than the figure for
Carolina alone in 1929.
But the forces of education
and sound statesmanship cannot
accept defeat. There is still a
fighting chance. With the figure
remaining as it apparently shall,
the economic existence of the
University is assuredly doomed,
if the report of President Grah
am to the alumni last December
on the operating costs of the
University and the figures pre
sented to the appropriations
committee several weeks ago are
any criteria. ,
The institution which has
fathered some thousands of
North Carolina's foremost sons,
has been put on the rack re
peatedly. The straining point
has passed the breaking point
has arrived. At this hour we
stand with naught but courage
on the crumbling pinnacle of a
treacherous fall. D.C.S.
tion. They were standing liter
ally against the destruction of
the agencies of civilization built
up through the generations and
passed on as the social heritage
of a great state and the social
responsibility of a people too
great to surrender to abject de
spair.
"Theirs was no prepared elo
quence but the eloquence of faith
and courage. They stood up for
North Carolina when it was
I easier to indulge in fear and de
spair. In their stand they were
simply trying through the night
hours to hold a broken line for
North Carolina in the hope that
reason would come with another
day. They lost. In their defeat
there was something true and
clean. With such a spirit the
broken lines of the defeated be
come undefeatable. The longer
lines of the public schools, reachT
ing from every home in the
towns and countryside will re
form with the hopes of a mil
lion children.
"North Carolina with her face
again to the morning of their
hope will triumph over panic
and hysteria for the better day
that is to come."

Figure Set for All Three Divi
sions of Greater University
Exceeds 1931 Grant to Chapel
Hill Division Alone by Only
$150,000.
By Don Shoemaker
The crushing, relentless, and
merciless "economy" bloc in
the North Carolina House of
Representatives moved with un
abated fury to obviate the neces
sity of a sales tax in slashing the
appropriation for the Greater
University to $644,800 in Ra
leigh yesterday. The Chapel
Hill branch of the Greater Uni
versity had requested a mini
mum of $691,000 to the budget
commission, where the approp
riation was slashed to $391,000.
Having adopted by a vote of
53 to 43 the Bowie-Cherry $73,
000,000 substitute for the state
wide appropriations committee
Dili ot $83,000,000 the House in
committee of the whole late yes
terday afternoon reached the
figure recommended for the con
solidated school.
Grant for Three Units
The figure of $644,800 was set
to suffice for the three institu
tions comprising the Greater
University. In 1929 the Uni
versity of North Carolina alone
received $894,000, then a bare
minimum for operation. Since
that time, the appropriation fig
ure has been steadily decreased,
until today it is probably that
the University must elicit its
scant share from the $644,800
granted so far by the General
Assembly.
The leaders of the economy
bloc, Tam Bowie and Gregg
Cherry, were at slight odds over
