PARAGRAPHIAS
The sophomores will be photographed this
morning on South building" steps. That lets
them in on the ground floor.
Then there's the graduate student who
won't go to the glass blowers' exhibition today
because he says he can see through it.
We see where the band meets tonight. We
hope they like each other.
Fable of
The Turnip
"The legislature is going to give the schools
and the institutions just what the people demand
and - no more " stated Jul a "R. Wn rrpn Tnpsrtav
night "It is up to the people back home to get
busy and see that their representatives are cor
rectly informed about the situation."
Mr. Warren'is an optimist to say the least. If
the legislature had given the people "just what
they demand," the. institutions- of higher learn
ing would not be in their present state of finan
cial debasement. The University's demand was
not only ignored, but after the budget bureau,
with no discretion under the law save to balance
the budget, got through slicing the quarterly
payments to the .University, itjooks like it had
never been heard,.
As far as the public schools are concerned,
the state is already giving $16,000,000 a year for
their support, but it is estimated that at least
$4,600,000 more is needed. And there is noth
ing in sight to make us believe that the state
can get that money without totally abolishing
appropriations to other state departments. The
bare fact is that there is not enough state rev
enue. The sales tax jumped the revenue up about
$9,000,000 but the Turlington act deprived the
state of enough income to make up for the dif
ference incurred when the public school system
upped the expenses over $10,000,000 annually.
We repeat what we have emphasized in tjiese
columns before : local units must vote simple
ments to take the burden off the state even if
it necessitates a complete re-organization of
these units to allow for less administrative costs
and consequently more available receipts from
taxes.
Yes, Mr. Warren, we must ask for what we
need and we must advise our representatives of
the situation. But we'd better tell them to re
organize the inefficient local units and get more
revenue before we try to squeeze out something
that's not there.
for disagreement. Furthermore, the alumni say,
his conservatism went so far as to make him
attempt to segregate co-eds and male students
in the college. The alumni state that this week's
strike was a natural and logical conclusion of the
latent feeling of resentment on-the students'
part.
Biltmore, a rather young institution, is situ
ated in the seat of Buncombe county, a section
long regarded as a center of die-hard conserva
tism. Reynolds was Buncombe county's dry lead
er m last year's prohibition referendum. This
makes any revolt, any self -declaration, an un
usual and a courageous thing.
What the Biltmore students are revolting
against is intellectual tyranny, or what they feel
to be intellectual tyranny. Right or wrong,
their protest appeals to us as a symbol of youth's
determination to express itself for what it feels
is right. It is one of the most heartening signs
of this whole autumn that students in our state
can feel wronged and still protest.
. Tar Heels of Chapel Hill can give thanks that
no exact parallel to the Biltmore situation ex
ists on their campus, that they enjoy a freedom
unmarred with animosity between the admin
istration and themselves. And at the same time
they can congratulate their fellow-students of
Buncombe county who know enough to scratch
when bitten by insidious fleas.
Liberalism or
Mugwumpery?
On Wednesday, November 21, the Durham Sun
printed an editorial in favor of the establishment
of a new armory for the local machine gun com
pany, setting forth at some length its excellent
reasons for advocating this move notable
among which was the fact that "we may need
machine gunners one of these days." This fact
is all the more interesting because the Sun had
printed another editorial the day before, in which
it flayed the brothers DuPont for fostering1 a
spirit of competitive armament.
It may be that, with our limited comprehen
sion of mternation affairs, we have mis
understood, that the Sun has merely chosen two
ways of saying the same thing; that they have
a definite stand on the question of armament,
and are following it consistently.
However, it certainly seems to us that the
Sun has adopted the convenient policy of talk
ing first out of one and then out of another cor
ner of its mouth thus providing a sop to pari
fists, while pacifying the jingoists. Most diffi
cult it is to reconcile the two viewpoints, which;
as they stand, leave the Sun open to the charge
of mugwumpery of the sort that newspaper
readers don't appreciate.

the library's objectives for the
future."
As a result of these communi
cations, a committee from the
school of library science has met
with Mr. Downs and at that
meeting various items in connec
tion with a browsing room were
discussed, such as whether or
not to allow smoking and talk
ing, the type of book. to be placed
in the browsing room, and also
the furnishings to be used for
such a room. -
Further investigations on the
part of the school of library sci
ence are now being carried on,
for the members are in direct
communication with those uni
versities which have already es
tablished browsing rooms.

Student
Reflex
President A. C. Reynolds' refusal to allow
projected student dance to continue at Biltmore
Junior College brought to a head a boil of re
sentment, long dormant, between the students
of the school and the president. The result of
the conflict was a strike in which one-third of
the student body participated, demanding Reyn
olds' resignation.
The reasons for this strike go deeper than
the president's most recent action. According
to Biltmore alumni, the president's "forcing his
reactionary conservatism down Biltmore's
throat" at every occasion was the main grounds
Browsing Room
For the Library
Editor, the Daily Tar Heel:
In view of the fact that you published an edi
torial on Tuesday, November 20, concerning the
possibility of a browsing room for the library,
it might be of interest to the students of the
University to know that the class in book selec
tion of the school of library science 1934-35 has
taken a definite step towards securing such a
feature.
In a communication of October 26 to Mr.
Downs, the class suggested "that a better read
ing interest could be fostered through the es
tablishment of a browsing room at the Univer
sity library. Such rooms have already been in
augurated at Wesleyan, Dartmouth, Harvard,
and other universities. To provide a room that
is comfortable and pleasant one that is in a
most accessible location is essential. This would
stimulate a recreational reading interest which
is not now apparent at the University.
"May we call your attention to the fact that
there are not now such rooms in the dormitories
thus indicating that such a need could and
should be provided for by the library?"
Mr. Downs was very receptive to the idea and
replied that "the proposal to start a browsing
room m the University library is an interesting
one and I am grateful for the suggestion. The
idea has of ten been discussed in connection with
the present building but, unfortunately, no nro
vision for it was made when the library was
opened m 1929. At present we lack any. suitable
space which could be used for browsing room
purposes. . There is also the matter of expense,
undoubtedly amounting to a considerable sum
for comfortable furniture and attractive bnnV
tor recreational reading.
Any action in the near future is contingent
upon an appropriation which we aw nob-;
