The following are excerpts from statements by past gov ernors of the state, concerning the value of higher education to the state : Governor Daniel Russell, Biennial Message 1901: "A strong and efficient Uni versity is essential to the State's educational system, and the Uni versity must be generously sup Ported if this State is to go for ward."

Olsen will preside at the meeting. The subject of the discussion will be "Japan and the Far East" in preparation for the de bate with Georgia Tech on the subject, "Resolved: That Japan's interest in Manchuria and the Far East is the same as that of the United States in this hemis phere." Two debates with Georgia Tech and Boston University are scheduled here when the high school teams from various parts of the state come to debate March 31. SUMMER SCHOOL TO OPERATE TWO TERMSraiSYEAR Dean Walker Savs Faculty Is Practically Volunteering Ser vices to Continue Work. The University summer school will operate two terms this year, as has been the custom since 1923, notwithstanding rumors to the contrary, Director Nathan T Walker announced today. Dean Walker attributed the misleading rumors to the fact that no appropriation from state funds for the summer school had been set up by the Advisory Budget Commission. Because of this fact, he explained, plans have been greatly delayed. He said that the faculty of the University, feeling that it would be a great mistake to abandon the summer school even tempor arily in this time of dire emer gency, have practically volun teered their services in order to keep the summer terms going on the high plane they have at tained. Complete details as to courses to be offered and instructional staff will be announced in a bulletin now being prepared, he said. PLAY TO BE READ BY MRS. HOLMES Few plays produced on Broad way elicit such praise as Rose Franken's Another Language, which Mrs. Urban T. Holmes will read in the Playmakers theatre tonight at 8:30 o'clock, as the March number of the Playmakers series of monthly readings. Mrs. Holmes is con sidered an accomplished and ex perienced actress, and it is ex pected that the play will be thoroughly enjoyed in her inter pretation. For several weeks last sum mer Another Language was the only legitimate play running in New York, a distinction which almost no other dramatic work can boast. " After the play established its great popularity in this country, it was given a London produc tion, with Edna Best and Her bert Marshall in the leading roles. .. JBiHr nil) CHAPEL HILL, N. O, SUNDAY, MARCH 19, 1933 owie A State Of Campus Emergency -AN EDITORIAL Similar to the national diffi culties of 1917 and March 1933 when a national emergency was declared by federal authorities, The Daily Tar Heel declares today for the University of North Carolina a state of cam pus emergency. The battle that must be waged during the next few days is against a common enemy of the State and Univer sity, the Bowie-Cherry bill. The student body will convene tomorrow morning in Memorial Hall for the second time in two weeks. In the first meeting the student council and the Univer sity administration called on the undergraduate body to suspend plans for the regular Spring holiday. The question of the hour was a way out of the bank ing difficulty, which struck the first blow of the month against the individual members of the student body. Today, with a situation of virtual warfare be fore us, a state of campus emer gency exists, and undergrad uates must mobilize to combat a common foe. ; - In this battle the administra tion is helpless unless the whole hearted cooperation of the stu dent body is assured. The fight Standing For The Whole State Although every appropria- j tions measure introduced into the present session of the Gen eral Assembly has been merci lessly meagre in its grant to the University of North Carolina, those who have defended this in stitution have not spoken for the University alone. The Univer sity is not selfish. It would not starve any other institution in the state to satisfy what its ene mies claim to be its own inordin ate appetite. Rather, all the University's spokesmen take their stand with President Graham to fight for public schools, public health, public welfare, and efficient depart ments, "the very agencies of civ ilization," in North Carolina. Our position is taken for the whole state. All who represent us stand for the whole state. For example, it was a University graduate, a former football star, who made an Impassioned plea Friday in the General Assembly for fairer treatment of Negro IMMEDIATE ACTION NEEDED If. the onslaughts against the University in frantic and doubtful "economy" measures now before the General Assem bly in Raleigh are to be repelled, immediate action from every loyal Carolina student is needed. Below are suggested ten word telegrams to be sent as soon as possible to parents and friends and to state Senators. If the University is to main tain its existence, the Bowie-Cherry bill must be stopped in the Senate Tuesday. Immediate action is needed. Telegram to parents and friends: Defeat Bowie bill. Save University by telegrams to Legislators immediately. Telegram to Senators: Counting on you to oppose false economy of Bowie bill. On the back page of this paper is a petition which every student should sign and mail to his state Senator at once.

But the fight against economy" is not one adopted solely for the interests of the Chapel Hill Branch of the Uni- versity of North Carolina.

This figure plunges the Uni versity into a state of almost economic extinction. The key note, however, must be faith and organization. A state of campus emergency un- President's Call Important Meet doubtedly exists.

As much as the Univer- sity of North Carolina wishes to maintain its standards of serv- ice to the state and the nation, its spokesmen are also taking a stand for the protection of all worthy departments of the state's activity. Not onlv can the University not hold up its head against the vicious attacks that have been leveled against it, but no other state institution can maintain a respectable existence without adequate funds. The parents of North Carolina have sweated, slaved, and sacrificed to keep their children in school during this period of ravaging depres sion. It is not to be believed that they will now, in these days of hysterical action, coun tenance any doubtful "economy move" to deprive their children of the educational facilities that they have purchased for them at the price of economic chains and slavery.

Verbal brick bats flew back and forth in the state legislature when the Cherry-Bowie bill was under consideration. The story of the procedure in yesterday's Greensboro Daily News is ex ceedingly bitter in tone, declar ing, "It was as ruthless a job as any resident Methuselah ever observed and some notable horse traders have been in the general assembly of North Carolina." Here are some of the signifi cant statements made by repre sentatives : Harriss Neurman from New Hanover: "Fair play possibly would be the best course for this House to pursue." , D. Emmerson Scarborough from Richmond : "The man (Tam Bowie) who led the fight for $165,000,000 highway sys tem shouldn't be here cutting off the chance of North Carolina's youth for a higher education." R. O.
