CITY EDITOR FOR THIS ISSUE: IRVING SUSS Sunday, November 4, 1934 SUNDAY", NOVEMBER 4', 1934 PARAGRAPHICS Twinkle, twinkle, little Saar, How we wonder whose you are! Allowing three seconds per melody and three seconds for the carilloneur's breath, we estimate that the tower chimes whipped off 25 hours in 10 minutes Friday. It certainly beats our time. Insull is something like limburger cheese : he gets a little stronger every day. Reporting on The Report The Daily Tar Heel was the only publication in the union system which was revealed bv.Mr. Sherrill's report as showing a profit for the year ended July 31, 1934. The Yackety Yack, nation ally recognized as one of the finest annuals in the country, incurred the greatest loss.- But the figures do not tell the entire story. It is commonly agreed that the Buccaneer's ending up "in the red" was due to poor business management and lax financial administration of the student manager. But the Yackety Yack's debenture was the result of a definite move on the part of last year's Publications Union board both to cut the revenue and increase expenses. And why this policy? The board, controlling the publications in a year of financial depres sion, believed m passing on savings to the stu dents. It upheld the idea that the profits of the union should be reinvested in the publica- ions rather than amass in stocks and bonds. It agreed that organizations in a time of financial disparity, should be aided in making ends meet by being offered more discount for space payments. So, junior-senior fees .for representation were decreased; prompt space payments were re warded by liberal discounts ; the budgets for all publications, especially the Yackety Yack, were greatly increased. Results: all publications showed improvement, more students and organ izations were represented in the Yackety Yack. a better annual was publishedand the Yackety Yack received an all-American rating. To make this latter point a reason for con doning the board's deliberate action in "losing money is not our purpose. The reasons they advocated this policy were more than to help in the financial crisis or to better the publica tions; they were faced with the problem pf bal ancing the budget to the demands of a student body which did not favor the $2,500 profit the year previous or the continued amassing of sur plus. So the budget was "balanced" so that in normal years, when student fees were increased in number and organizations could pay for their space without qualms, the union's report, would show neither profits nor losses, but an even break. In the meantime, of course, more money was being put back into the publications and the reserve was not being increased. One fact is evident from the report, however, that deserves immediate attention. Some pub lications, regardless of board action or business management, support the others, in the union. A re-allocation of student fees for publications must be effected in order to provide a truer basis upon which to build each publication's budget. Dan'l The Explorer - Loyal Kentuckians and Governor Ruby Laf foon, who are intending-to see that 600,000 com memorative half-dollars are to be issued in honor of their patron saint, Dan'l Boone, might very well be indignant over discoveries of Dr. Archi bald Henderson, who is writing a biography of the pioneer explorer. Dr. Henderson believes, with the acumen of a good historian, that Boone's discoveries 'and explorations were 'motivated by other than the pure pioneer spirit. One Richard Henderson, organizer1 of the Transylvania Company for west ward exploration, and prominent figure in North Carolina history, says Dr. Henderson, apparently held a mortgage on Boone's property and sent him into the wilderness that he might free him self of .his debt through his services as advance agent, so to speak, for the Transylvania Com pany. What a blow that must be to true Kentuckians can only be surmised. Why, it takes all the glamor of the sixth-grade history books away, leaving us little more than the realization that Dan'l Boone was a mortal who got into debt just like the rest of us. And, instead of blazing a trail with visions of all the national parks and half-dollars that would be named after him. Daniel Boone was pushed in the press of neces sity. If true, it's an argument in favor of the eco nomic interpretation of history. But, by the way, is Richard any kin to Archibald ? Need of Tuition Change There must be an insistence on the need thai something must be ,donev to remedy the lack of enrollment of southern students at the Univer sity. Its decline in recent years in proportion to the number of students from the northeastern states has brought about a weakness in our pres ent tuition differential for out-of-state students. A difference of $100 in tuition payments for all out-of-state students, regardless of whether they come from states which have state-supported institutions or not, is working a hardship on the south. . Plans have been offered to remedy this state of affairs, and even if they are no more than tentative, they show the pressing need of formu lating some system of a Sliding tuition differen tial which will not exclude northern students, but which will attract southern students. Rph Husbands, assistant registrar, has suggested in a comprehensive study that tuition differentials be based on the reciprocity of student exchane-e - - 0 between (1) students from North Carolina at tending state institutions in other states and (2) students from other states attending state . - institutions in North Carolina. Dr. W. C. Coker has proposed another t)lan which would allow for the giving of a sort of fee-grant or scholarship to students coming to the University from neighboring states. Either of these plans contains the germ of reform, which is sorely needed if the University is to draw heavily on the south for a large portion of its student body. It is time that a remedy for the situation was considered by the administration. Et Tu, Brute? Professor E. J. Woodhouse, efficiency exnert and connoisseur of English as she should be snok- A. en, wound up Tuesday night and took a trood swing at Youth. In warning the debaters against vague generalizations in public state ments, Professor Woodhouse said that Youth is especially prone to use such words as "never ' "ever," and "forever." Without pausing to quarrel on this point, (al though we don't think that the words mentioned above are vague and generalizations, being plea santly euphemistic) we only remark that it was with great glee that we observed that a criticism of the 1934 Yackety Yack by the N. S. P. A.-was that the copy written by the deans is too vague and general." Well! This is interesting. Apparently Youth v isn t the only offender in this line. In fact, in this case, it's a mighty fine compliment to Youth that it is able to" write and talk a nice vague jar gon, just like the deans. Vagueness is not. the result, therefore, of lack of training: on the rnnJ frary, the art of talking jargon is something of an accomplishment, useful in dealings with the press and so on. Glad to have you, boys. Mighty Good Samaritans We understand that a student "Y" committee under Paul McKee is eroiner to take it upon iteif to give attention to infirmary inmates in "the little details beyond the scope of the regular in firmary attendants." This, we think, is noble Now with a student committee to run that oonoxious reserve book back to the library, to trundle over with the sweetie's epistle, or to rmvl 1 ii , . .

At the debate banquet given in honor of the Oxford debaters the other evening, Michael Foot, son of Isaac Foot, M. P., and president of the Oxford Univer sity. Liberal club, tod a story which indicates pretty plainly to us that the : English sense of humor is better than it's reputed. It seems that an English school master required one of his stu dents, as punishment for some misdeed, to write a paper on "Godliness, Nobility, and Chasti ty." After nearly a week of con centrated thought on the subject, the student turned in a paper which contained only this line under its imposing title: "My God, Duchess, take your hand off my knee. line and with something to keep them warm inside. Arriving at the Auditorium about 2:30 A. M. (the dance was scheduled from midnight till 4 :00 o'clock) they were approached by a Negro in a loud checked suit, spats and a derby, who asked: "Yawwl wanta buy some spectator's tic kets?" "Spectators' tickets, hell," came a voice from the rear fen cer. "We came to dance." ' A broad grin spread over the Afric visage as he asked: "Didn't yawwl know dis-yar dance is fo' cullad people?" EXPRESSION IN AMERICA The following isa an example of American wit, a paper turned in by an eight-year old boy in the class of Miss Gertrude Rus sell, a former University stu dent: Under the caption "Eng lish ' the paper read like this : "Once their war man planty his corn late an when it came up it war little and yellow. The corn war thick with grass. An one day a precher came a long when the boy was planty it. He said why is your corn so grassier, said the precher. We planty the grassier king said the boy. And the field war fence in. What be tween you and. a fool said the precher. That fence their sir." "WHERE DO HIGH-HATS GO?" On the spur of the moment, nine of Mangum's worthy in habitants piled in and onto a Ford roadster to go to Raleigh to a dance at which the Mills bro thers were scheduled to play. They ran out of gas twice, and twice refueled, both with gaso BASE KNAVES On one of the introductory pages of former University stu dent Keith Fowler's novel, "All the Skeletons In All The Closets" appears this statement : "The characters in this book have no existence beyond its pages." Quite a nice transept, we think. QUARANTINE We spent most of last week envying the Phi Delts their free dom from the cares of this dear old work-a-day world, and tried to decide what we would do if we were quarantined for two weeks and didn't have scarlet fever. Our schedule is as fol lows: Write two term themes of five thousand words each, catch up with a month's back corre spondence, read eleven books for parallel and do all the other reading we've put aside for the last month or two because of "no time," read the Daily Tar, Heel every day, play bridge, poker, and ping-pong until we were heartily sick of all of them, and then 'phone the bootlegger and go to bed until he got there. We eave the rest to your imagina tion. Band Meets Tomorrow The University band win stage a full rehearsal tomorrow night at 7:00 o'clock in the Tin Can, announced Earl A.
