They should take a tour around State College, and then look over their elementary and high schools (which are operating at a point of minimum efficiency because of a lack of funds) . Then they should reckon the maintenance cost of these few de partments. If they do some really serious and unselfish thinking, they will not feel that 34 cents is too much money to pay for safety, comfort, con venience, and culture. JJ3.L. Working Together Every day except Monday the Daily Tae Heel is delivered to over half the population of Chapel Hill, and whether we regard it a part of the daily routine or take" an interest in it as a purveyor of news and campus comment, the fact remains that some 3,000 individuals come in contact with this paper almost daily. When we stop to realize that a paper is made up not only of readable matter, but of a certain "amount of advertising, we can do no less than admit that the Daily Tar Heel is very definite ly, as much so as' any other newspaper, an ad vertising medium. Although it has not the capacity to reach the number of consumers that other larger papers have, the Daily Tar Heel has the advantage of being the only daily paper in Chapel Hill and therefore is the only paper to reach consistently the number of Chapel Hil consumers that it does. Chapel Hill merchants are interested in the buying possibilities of Chapel Hill residents, whether permanent, like the faculty, or tem porary,' like the students. And for this reason local merchants are advertising in the Daily Tar Heel. Those of us who receive the student paper of this University scarcely realize on first thought that Chapel Hill business spends with this paper approximately $5,000 per year in ad vertising. That, we conclude, is a fact that testifies to the good-will existent between student and Chapel Hill merchant. But we maintain that it should mean a great deal more. It should mean that it pays to advertise in the Daily Tar Heel. And it undoubtedly does, for this student paper is not being financed by charity. But if we are to prove to Chapel Hill mer chants tnat the advertising tnat tney ouy is not a contribution, but a paying business propo sition, we must show them that advertising in the Daily Tar Heel brings results. What we want is more comments from students who buy in Chapel Hill on the advertisements of those mercnants irom wnom tney buy. m tnat way we can prove that every inch of advertising in this paper is bringing results profitable both to student and to merchant. A.T.D. Loan Fund Cooperation No better recommendation could be made for the University than that in times such as these it has been possible for more than 323 students to obtain financial aid to the extent of $22,517, and this from a loan fund a large part of which came as the result of donations from the stu dent body. - Those students who were in the University during the spring of 1931 will remember the intensive drive to increase the loan fund and the remarkable reception it received from the stu dent body, both individually and through its various campus organizations During the past several years the loan fund has found itself called upon more and more by needy students seeking doggedly for an education. The abol ishment of free tuition has thrown an additional burden upon it and taxed its resources to the utmost. While the so-called "state scholarships provided financial aid of only $75 yearly, they aided many students who were unable to pay their tuition. Consequently this year students have had to make applications for loans because they could not raise the money to pay tuition. Every effort is being made by the office of the dean of students and the Y. M. C. A. to give aid to those students whom they feel merit it, the Y through its self-selp bureau and the dean's office through loans. The recipients of. loans are carefully selected by those in charge. To receive a loan a student must be making good grades on his studies, be of good character, and have some form of reli able security. In the past the fund has been remarkably successful in its collections, losing only about one per cent. This fact is in itself evidence of the sincerity of the students in their desire for an education and their worthiness for aid. In the face of such a splendid record it should be -the duty of every campus organization worthy of its place to offer its full support to the loan fund. The fund needs money and it is the privi lege of the campus to help it carry on its work V.C.R. ust what the prof is getting at, others can think of infinite ways of pursuing the answer. It is then that the instructor is able o clear up matters and prevent that helpless feelmg of idea confusion which habitually pre vails. Most students particularly those who have prepared tor their examination, feel that they nave a rignt to oraer. inere- fore, the professor feels that he is really needed in the room dur ing the quiz. He certainly is not remaining with the hopes of finding cheating. That is the ast thing he does want to ob- a i 1 J 9 A. serve. Ana certainly it isn i en tertaining to remain in a pen scratching atmosphere of wor ried frowns and depressed coun- enances. So those who have been feel ing resentful at the insinuations of the prof's remaining within the class room during an exam, should change their attitude to one of annreciation. It would be easier on student and pro fessor alike. -J.S.C. a Taxes And Tintypes . Raleigh taxpayers, after the fashion of tax payers in general, are getting ready for an in dignation meeting to protest a proposed increase in the tax rate. It seems that the city fathers need more money for debt service and running expenses, so they are considering raising the tax rate 34 cents, from $1.10 to $1.44. " The situation is not unusual. Citizens of the United States are noted for their opposition to taxes. They believe that the government should be run for their benefit at somebody else's ex pense. The only time that the citizenry voted a tax on itself in any great proportion was when it ratified the seventeenth amendment. And then the popular vote was brought out because the proletariat believed that the income tax was really designed to sock the rich. Getting things by the customs without paying a duty has be come a game played by people who could afford to pay several, duties without missing a cent. And the devious plans for beating the sales tax could be originated only by an American. We observed one upright citizen buying six dopes one at a time, making six separate trips from store to car, in order to avoid paying a penny tax. We believe that it's high time the American people were waking up to the fact that taxes are imposed on them for their own ultimate ben efit. True, there are abuses that should be eradicated in the handling of public funds; but these abuses do not arise from the existence of excess funds, and the way to curb them is not to refuse to pay more taxes. The primary rea son why people object to paying taxes is that they can not see the direct benefit of the money they pay out at the time they pay it. They realize that municipal, state, and federal funds are constantly being used to. make things a lit tie better for them and their neighbors, but they don t see the connection between public improve ments ana beneftts and the money that they themselves pay out. . We suggest that before the Raleigh indignants go to their meeting that they do a little thinking about the things that the government alone has made possible for them. They should pass by a fire house, ask directions of a policeman, look Parents ' And Student v The management of Graham Memorial is to be congratulated on its not particularly hove but certainly thoughtful plan of sponsoring Parents Day in conjunction with the regular University Day celebration. It should be the duty of every student in the University to take advantage of this planned program to urge his or her parents to come to the Hill at this time and participate in the pro gram planned for them. Many parents and fami lies are forced to go on a strictly economica budget in order to maintain their children dur ing their career at the University; many sacri fices are made for them and it is only natural that the parents would have an interest in the work, activity, and environment at Chapel Hill Although the modern youth has clothed him self in a veneer of superficial boredom (see Speaking the Campus Mind," October 4), has taken on what he believes to be an air of sophis tication, and believes that any sentimentality is a display of ignorance, there is, nevertheless the old and invincible law of the parents' love for children. It is directly to them that we owe our existence on this earth and any small action of ours seems vitally important to them. The age that a youth passes through during his college, days produces the most complete change in him which he ever experiences. It is threfore the most intersting phase of his life to his parents. The opportunity offered this year to allow the parents of the students to see at first hand a bit of .life on the campus should be taken advantage of to the greatest extent possible.

SPEAKING the CAMPUS MIND Old Man Happy The editorial in yesterday's Tar Heel entitled "Old Man Happy," which dealt rather blindly and harshly with the field announcer's work at the Davidson game Saturday, was unjust and deserves correction on a few points. The writer, H. N. L., de nounced the announcer first and to great lengths on his repeated warnings concerning walking across the playing field. H. N. L. forgets or else he has never seen a game in Kenan stadium previously to the Davidson con test, for last year the same .an nouncement about not walking on the grass was repeated many more times than it was Satur day. Since all the spectators .do not enter the stadium at the same time, the announcement must necessarily be repeated several times and impressed upon a few, probably those who are bored most by the grass warning. ; In the editorial H. N. L. also attacked the quality of Old Man Happy's coverage of the football game itself. It is both interest ing and laudatory to know that the reporters in the press box nraised our announcer for his full detailed description of each play and his accuracy on all points such as names and meas urements. - We are very fortunate in hav ing a man who last year played fullback on the Carolina varsity and who is one person surely in a position to know exactly what is going on in a football game. Another criticism of H. N. L.'s was that the announcer never in formed the crowds in the sta dium of the number of minutes left, to play. Well, H. N. L., you slipped this time. If you know anything about what you write, you would surely know that that choice bit of information is not even given the coaches even on request from the timers. Lets stop knocking and appre ciate what Old Man Happy has to offer at the football games. J. W. C. Co-eds Arrange Dance If the arrangements made by the girls of Spencer hall at special meeting Monday night for the co-ed dance to be given Friday, October 13, are unsatis factory to the co-eds in town, suggestions should be made to Jane Jolly at the Shack.

Ann Hardimr Plavs At Carolina Today "Double Harness," playing at the Carolina theatre today and starring William Powell and Ann Harding, is a story of a girl who thinks marriage is a wo man's only business and pro ceeds to attempt to justify this assertion. Ably assisted by Reginald Owen, an English .comedian, Henry Stephenson, Lillian Bond, and George Meeker, the two stars present a realistic drama of the life of a couple who were forced to be married. Tricking her lover into marry ing her, Ann Harding, in the role she plays, trys to make a great man of him and nearly succeeds. William Powell gives one of his best performances as a polo-playing, sporting, million aire playboy who is losing his fortune until Miss Harding steps into his life to readjust his af fairs. This ultra sophisticated drama is typical of the greater art the motion pictures are achieving. NRA "BUY NOW" PROGRAM PLANNED BY COMMITTEE The NRA has been recently reorganized in Chapel Hill. The response to it has been very en couraging to the members. ; Committees are now busy en couraging the individuals, firms, and others who are interested in the NRA work. The commit tees are also urging firms that have not signed to sign now in order that they may have part in the "Buy Now" campaign which is to be started October ninth. - It is planned to have several three-minute speeches at the Carolina theatre within the next ten days.
