Cups Without

-After running the gauntlet of a new student
board of censors, the recently-created Fin j an,
the "Buccaneer under an assumed name' made
its first appearance Monday and yesterday. And
what the campus thinks of this comic, featur
ing clean and clever humor, is and will be for
a few issues a matter for conjecture.
Editor Gaskins succeeded admirably in accom
plishing his purpose; he established firmly the
tenet on this campus that there are clever writers
whose attempts at being funny, don't splatter the
results with filth. Adverse comment is naturally
rife in many quarters, but, as certain student
leaders expressed it at the second student coun
cil session, it takes time "to educate anybody
to anything." ;
We are glad the Buccaneer is no more. Now
that a successful first issue of its successor has
come into our midst, we expect to see clever
innovations appear concurrently with a trend in
the student attitude toward the higher type of
humor (however puniush) for which the new
comic stands.
to the campus as the universal
spirit which it represents. Cross

Building Up
Southern Enrollment
The rapidly increasing number: of out-of-state
students has given rise to a situation which is
causing the University administration to shake
its head and which, sooner or later, will require
action on the part of University trustees.
This institution has been steadily gaining in
out-of-state . enrollment in the past few years,
but the prevailing influx has come from north
era states. This is evident in figures published
by the Alumni Review., New York freshmen are
second in number to North Carolina freshmen
for the sixth consecutive year, says the Review.
Other state delegations, ranked in importance
according to the number of students they send
here, are as follows : New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, South Carolina, and
Illinois (eight each), Georgia, and Virginia
Whereas formerly most of the out-of-state stu
dents came from the south, in recent years the
number of southern students has been far over
shadowed by those from the north, especially
those from the northern seaboard states.
North Carolina's University is proud of the
reputation it enjoys in the northern states, and
the enrollment that they send is at all times
welcome here. But the crux of the problem is
that the University could also enlist a larger
enrollment irom soutnern states, rne reason
that the number of students from southern states
has not been as large as that from the north
is a uniform out-of-state tuition differential,
which is in many cases prohibitive for the south
ern student. It is not prohibitive for the north
ern student because the cost of living and the
cost of going to college in the north is much
larger than in southern states. Southern states,
furthermore, generally have state-stupported in
stitutions, like the University, whose doors open
for fewer dollars than do the institutions of
northern states. To quote from the Review:
"We know that prospective students living in
Virginia and South Carolina have found the $100
differential for out-of-state students to be the
deciding factor in choosing some college other
than Carolina."
This, therefore, is the situation in the Univer
sity's enrollment which has grown up recently
The Daily Tar Heel is not qualified to say just
what should be done about it, but several sug
gestions of merit have been made, notably by
Ben Husbands, assistant registrar, and Dr. W. C
Coker. This much can be said : that the remedy
will lie in an adjustment of the tuition differ
ential to conform with the ability to pay, prob
ablv on a sliding scale. Action must be taken
The Luxury '
Called Education
For the year ending July, 1934, the nation's
bill for soft drinks, radios, cigars, cigarettes, and
automobiles is approximately four billion dollars
whereas the expenditures for the training of
26,000,000 school . children is only two billions,
or one-half that amount.
However, supporters of education are not al
ways following the right policy in attempting
to make an issue of what is spent for the afore
mentioned luxuries and thereby to strengthen
their arguments for increased expenditures for
education. Those who spend the four billions
for luxuries, which under a rapidly rising stan
dard of living border on necessities, simply pre
f er to do so rather than to bolster education with
a . part of it, regardless of how lopsided the fig
ures may seem.
Americans like their cigars and radios. They
also like their schools, but second to the smoke
rings and Wayne King's melodies. The reason
for this illogicalness may probably be laid to the
superior salesmanship of those producing the
luxuries. If this be true, the logical course to
be pursued by the educators would be to brush
up on their own salesmanship and fight fire with
fire. This is not always possible due to the
domination of the schools by external forces
and the lack of tangible appeals by which edu
cation may state its case.
Looking at educational expenditures from i
different angle, statistics offer the embarrassing
statement that North Carolina ranks fourth from
the bottom in the union in the amount of money
spent per year on each pupil in the public schools.
This state allots only $42.85 per child, or slightly
less than half the $86.69 which is the average
for the nation. Friend Huey Long's state tops
North Carolina, with $48.89, which, though not
much of an increase, doesn't allow much room for
this state's progressives to have any too much to
say about the backwardness of the bayou district.
History and
Preservation
Dr. Archibald Henderson has constantly
pressed the point that one of the major needs
of the state and the Consolidated University is
an adequate art and historical museum. Cur
rent opinion, as revealed in several state papers,
advocates as the best plan the encouragement
and development of those museums in existence
now, holding that to begin more little museums
in a state which is already failing to 'render
adequate support to those which exist, would be
a graVe mistake.
This opinion cannot affect the University's
work on Person hall as a new museum, because
it is merely a rehabilitation of one of the cam
pus historical- show-pieces so that it can hold
the treasures of the past and present for the
interest and experience to the future. A Uni
versity museum is significant for this reason:
museums serve as guides in the future, by show
ing concrete evidence of the past to those of the
present whose lives lie ahead of them. Thus,
students at the University are more directly ben
efited by a museum than any other single group
of people; it represents to them the experience
which is to be given them for their own tasks
of making the world's history.
While we agree that more support should be
tendered museums by a state with an historical
background such as that of North Carolina, we
are steadfast, at the same time, in our belief
that this campus is the logical site for the de
velopment of collections preserving the tradi
tions and achievements of this state. ,

Folksong Authority
The Mississippi professor,
who was head of the English
department at the University of
Mississippi before he became a
member of the faculty here in
the fall of 1930, is a recognized
authority on the southern folk
song; and almost all of his pub
lications deal with this field.
Among his publications are
"Specimens of Mississippi Folk
Lore," published in 1928; his
afore-mentioned "Folk-Songs of
Mississippi and Their Back
ground," which has been ac
cepted for publication by the
University of North - Carolina
press; and a number of shorter
articles, such as "Folk-Songs of
the Southern White," which ap
peared as a chapter of "Culture
in the South," published by the
press last year. He is also au
thor of "Git Up and Bar the
Door," a folk play presented by
the Carolina Playmakers in
1930.
