Business Manager CITY EDITOR FOR THIS ISSUE: CARL THOMPSON Friday, April 14, 1933 New Facts On Beer r By grapevine telegraph, the welcome news comes from Raleigh that Representative Martin will probably withdraw the proviso in his beer measure which places a two-mile zone around Chapel Hill, a zone within the limits of which it would be illegal to sell legal beer. - When the beer-legalizing Francis bill was introduced and passed the General Assembly it . contained no provision for regulation as beer bills in other states had done. Here was one man in the legislature who saw the" dangers with which such a bill was fraught. Although he had fought against the Francis measure be fore it was passed, he did not take an attitude of "they asked for -it now let them take the con sequences." Rather, he immediately drafted & bill providing for the regulation of the sale of beer. ' - That man was Representative Martin. He saw that the uncontrolled sale of beer would be taken over by men who had hitherto been in -illicit liquor traffic, that conditions surrounding the sale of legal beer would be no better than those under which the illegal product was sold. He foresaw unscrupulous exploiters in a busi ness that is at best not a noble profession. It was not his intention to see public enemies bootleggers, rum runners, and racketeers take over a business that is, in some measure, intend ed to wipe out the blind tiger trade 'in alco hol. It was not-Representative Martin's intention, nyiunig iu iiixui ma nuii ictcivcu Biiict; mi ciu- torial was written yesterday on this same sub ject, to prohibit to the University students any pleasure that the rest of the state would be en joying. He gives the University and its student body full credit for sane manhood and the abil ity to handle its. Own drinking problems. But, "U L : 1 TTMl -I 11 TT T jie uiu uoi wam to see onapei jam ana ine uni versity, desecrated by the activities of a mob of hoodlums who would exploit students in the sale of beer. - .., Representative Martin says that a zone is bet ter than no regulation at all. As one official of the administration expressed it, "We want to have respectable people selling beer in Chapel Hill under suitable regulations. But if we can't have respectable people selling it, we want a zone that will keep the disreputable ones out." So, what Mr. Martin proposes to do, it is re ported, is to take the Chapel Hill zone clause out of his bill and substitute for it a provision for local control, either by licensing or zoning of the sale of beer in university and college towns. In other words, if Mr. Martin's bill passes as he intends, Chapel Hill can have beer if its local officials want it. And-the officials are willing to have beer if respectable people alone are al lowed to sell in an orderly manner. Representative. Martin has shown his faith once more in the University. He thinks that we are capable of taking care of our own beer problems; he would leave. the regulation of its sale in our hands. It is up to us to show him that we can drink our beer and hold it like gen tlemen. E.C.D. Attention! President Roosevelt ' It is much too early to begin criticizing Presi dent Roosevelt for so-called "sins of omission" (it is perhaps impertinent of a college student to criticize the President anyway), but it may be useful to keep in our minds some of the deeper social problems which a strong, willful, and con scientious executive would attempt to solve. President Roosevelt, by his activities to date, has exhibited practically all of the necessary qualities which should characterize a good na tional leader; however there exist in our nation such deep-seated and elemental evils that even Lincoln might term them unconquerable. But they exist, and shall continue in their being and flourish unless a persistent campaign of exter mination and correction is instituted. The first and most pressing concern, of the administration should be, and is, the economic well-being of the citizenry. You may say that this function is so basic that it is almost amus ing to mention it; but the idea can well endure repetition. After all, it is a concept which has just found favor in the eyes of men during this present century. Preceding our generation the laissez faire attitude prevailed. Today, when we are told that there are over a million children under the age of fifteen who are employed in gainful occupationsthat two and a quarter "wage, earners are constantly in capacitated because of illness that 500,000 workers die each year in the face of facts pre sented by experts that at least fifty per cen of these deaths could have been easily prvented that there is an almost mathematical relation ship between illness and poverty that. America shows the highest maternity death, rate of any civilized country on earth that about twenty per cent of the children of the country are suf fering from malnutrition that there are over twelve million unemployed in America and no national system of employment bureaus to co ordinate worker and job that in the prosperous year 1927 the minimum health and decency budget (per family) was $2300 and the average wage in manufacturing industries was $1300 a year, thus forcing mothers and children into the labor, market that in New York City (the rich est city m the world and the culminating Bin nacle of our civilization) there are 500,000 fami lies living in tenements forbidden by the build ing laws of thirty years ago, when we are told these things some consciousness of social respon sibility must be forthcoming. Perhaps it is well to look at "the bright' side of things," but there is little honor in trying to avoid the challenge these facts contain. V.J.L. Why Be Late? The ancient philosophers instead of debating the question about which comes first, the chicken or the egg, should have come to the University of North Carolina to determine which comes later, the audience or the performer. At every public performance of any sort there is always a group of people who persist in coming late be cause they think it fashionable or because they care so little for the feelings of others that they cause inconvenience merely because of their own ill manners. , This regrettable habit is absolutely useless and unexcusable because it is so obviously un necessary. Being on time at a performance re quires no more effort than being tardy, but late ness has consequences which disturb everyone interested in what is about to take place on the stage. It not only bothers those who have been con siderate enough to come early by causing un necessary commotion, but it causes a postpone ment of the performance until an opportune time when noise has abated to some extent, or the program is disrupted so that the audience is un able to hear many lines and some of the' best effects are entirely lost. ' If those who plan to attend would be consid erate enough to dress only a few minutes earlier, then the performance could start sooner thus permitting an early finish to afford time for those who have other things to do, and there would be fewer interruptions to mar the beauty of the program. F.P.G. Thrift From Grammar School to College Due to Senator Capus Waynick's efforts, the chances that North Carolina's public schools may nave a- system of thrift, education have definitely increased. Wednesday Senator Wavnick. an j alumnus of the University, introduced into the senate two bills whose passage will mean a step forward in the history of North Carolina educa tion. They provide for "instruction in thrift and savings" among the 800,000 school children of the state and the creation of a North Carolina State Thrift Society, which is to be incorporated by special charter granted by the legislature The purpose of the Society is not only to teach thrift in grammar and high schools but to afford a secure investment, for school children who plan to go to college. From this latter viewpoint, it may be considered a state-wide student loan fund. It is an undoubted fact: and nrm wrnVh is re-affirmed by the success of the Student Loan Fund of this University, that there is no more valid investment than a loan to a student for educational purposes. And fhp Rnmpt.v ooi mates that it would be able to eive interest as high at 4 per cent on deposits of six years' dura tion. So. every 'indication seems to be that it would afford a secure and profitable investment. benator Waynick is lending his full sunnort. to securing the passage of the two bills intro duced by him and now pending consideration be fore a senate committee. The Universitv- ran Ko J KJr proud of him not only as an alumnus but as onp who is vitally interested in furthering the cause of North Carolina education. A.T.D. Despite popular allegations, there are n persons in the world believing college students worry. A study by a psychology elass at Pur. due University conducted over a neriod of vpar? revealed that 56 per cent of the students were worried about their studies. Furthermore 40 per cent oi them are reported worried about money, family affairs have 21 per cent of the undergraduates perplexed; social affairs, 17 per cent, and religion, 5 per cent. The report shows only 12 per cent of the students are worried about affairs of the heart.

For a number of years it has been the policy of the For Conduct Of Book (Continued from first page) of $5.25 for each of 312 seniors. In addition, the senior class paid $75 for space used by the class as- an organization. The junior Yackety class Iast year paid $1;638.

"No surplus from the year goes over to that publication the next year and no deficit is .charged against that publication, but it is retained and added to the fund for all publications," said Lear. For the last six years the an nual has shown a surplus but publications as a lwhole showed a deficit of $4,320 in 1929-30. and the following year a deficit of $1,133. The other years showed a surplus. The Publica tions Union board attempts to thus balance the deficit of any one year, against the surplus of any other year. JNutt Parsley, editor of the Yackety Yack, expects the cur rent number of the yearbook to cost around $9,000, which is $2,500 less than any annual published here during the last six years, with the one excen tion of 1931-32 when the year book cost $8,000. Previous to last year, each senior paid a fee of $6.50, and for each senior; whose picture appeared in the Yackety Yack, a separate cut was made. Last year, however, the fee was cut to $5.25 per senior and pictures were made un with twn for the space had been paid' for in advance. An exception is made to. this rule in reference to the senior and junior classes. This is done because the collec tions for the spaces are made through the treasurers of the classes and since only a part of the class fees are due in the fall, the rest being paid in the winter term, it would be impossible for the class to settle in full at the time the pictures are made. This is the method .which has been used in the past and was used this year : A man goes down to have his picture made. He is asked to which class he belongs. If he says that he is a senior or a junior no collection is made from him at the time His class is charged both for the photographer's fee and the Yackety Yack space. Three hun dred and seventy-six men hand ed in their names as seniors. A contract was accordingly made between the Yackety Yack and the senior class for this many TJ. 1 1 1 " . - - uamr a diii, accompanied by a ist of these 376 men, was rend ered the senior class.
