For This Issue: NEWS: ED RANKIN SPORTS: FRED CAZEL o Confidence At this critical point in the administrative progress of the University when the legislature will soon consider decreas ing our appropriation for expenses by $150,000 and the gov ernor has proposed a $50 increase in tuition, the atmosphere is clouded with speculation and fear but authoritative opinion and statistical facts are scarce. With good reason, the intentions of the administration on the one hand and the principles of action by the governor on the other hand are not available. Furthermore, the scene looks even darker if, through idle speculation, the prophecy is made that next year the Uni versity may find some of the old dormitories empty, a num ber of new buildings, and a $3,000,000 bonded indebtedness to be paid by revenue from those new buildings. Without the basis of fact, however, any contact with au thoritative opinion, any such prediction is completely on the surface. The student body, in what appears to be a critical financial situation, has expressed its interest and concern in a num ber of ways, such as petitions and lobbyists sent to the legis lature. One fraternity, for example has sent a group letter to an alumnus who is a member of the legislature. But, we feel, because of a confidence in the legislature's willingness to hear student opinion, there is another attitude of the student body that finds an appropriate expression. That attitude is an identification of the student body and administration, and an expression of confidence in the lead ership of "Dr. Graham. 0 Mooney Released Exonerated of the crime for which he had spent 22 years in prison, Tom Mooney lives a free man in California today an American Dreyfus, returned and absolved. His pardon by Gov. Culbert L. Olson is the belated recti fication of a deliberate and wanton miscarriage of justice, fantastically unreal and inconceivably horrible. That the bond of persecution should be perpetuated through 22 years of California courts is the stigma of that state. Mooney was convicted on the testimony of five witnesses who placed him at the scene of the fatal Preparedness day parade bombing in San Francisco in 1916. The testimony was later repudiated after virtual admissions j)f perjury. The judge who presided at his trial, the district attorney who prosecuted him, and nine of the ten surviving jurors who condemned him to death later joined in Mooney's fight for freedom. Despite this overwhelming evidence, Mooney was, again and again, denied his plea for a new trial on the basis of legal technicalities. Expiration dates in legal trans fers condemned him forever to the prison that had been his after "President Wilson recommended the commuting of his original death sentence to life imprisonment. ' While technicalities and statutory restrictions are essen tial and necessary to the institution of law; their purpose" is thwarted when they are substituted as .reasons for the re fusal to reconsider a trial believed by millions to be unjust. Only through appeal to executive pardon has Mooney been able to evade the absurdities of a law seeped deeper in cal endar restrictions than in human rights. Long labor's symbol of "class persecution," Mooney has been the "cause celebre" of American unionism. His free dom besides re-establishing .justice in corporate California, Budge And Vines Bring: Records (Continued from first page) brilliant, undefeated singles triumphs in Davis Cap competition the past two years and only one loss out of five doubles matches, when Quist and Bromwich defeated he and Mako in four sets. Among his stellar singles victories in Davis Cup competition were: over Jack Crawford in 1937 in straight sets, over Gottfried von'i Cramm and Henner Henkel in the Germany match in 1937, and over Bromwich last year against Austra lia. Ellsworth Vines, Jr., pits his . am azing professional career against his opponent's fine amateur career. Start ing in 1934, against the world's great est tennis player. Big Bill Tflden, Vines began a clean sweep of the pro fessional ranks which today is still awaiting a fit challenger. Slated for defeat in 1934, his first attempt in the pro ranks, Vines went on to smack around Tflden and annex 61 of the 80 matches. EASY GOING From then on it was easy to the hard-hitting young Californian. Hans Nussleih, Lester Stoefen, Henri Co chet, Martin Plaa, Robert Hamilton, Fred Perry, Bruce Barnes, Vincent Richards and Berkeley Bell all went down before the powerful forehand and the best overhead hitter in the game. Fred Perry, in 1937, gave Vines his closest battle. The final tally was 86-71 in favor of Ellsworth. Now, at the start of his 11th pro tour, Vines leads his opponents 240 to 108. j This fine pro record of the serious Pasadena lad evidently does no please j him most. For, only recently, during an idle moment of reminiscing, "po ker-face Vines," as he is sometimes called, claimed that his greatest "kick" in tennis was beating Henri Cochet m the finals of the United States singles championship in 1932. The man who has met and defeated all of the world's best pros goes back to his amateur days for his greatest thrill. AMATEUR RECORD And it was in those amateur days when Vines also hung up an enviable record. Among his championships well tucked away between 1929 and '33 are: 1929 Western doubles with Gledhill; Middle States doubles with Gledhill; 1930 Metropolitan Grass Court dou bles with Gledhill; 1931 Pacific Coast singles, United States Clay Court singles, United States singles; 1932-United States singles, British singles (Wimbledon); 1933 United States mixed doubles, Pacific South west doubles with Stoefen, and many others.

They should withdraw lic enses upon infraction of the principles of safety in operating automobiles. 6. A clear statement of the Safety council's policy with reference to auto mobiles should be sent to the parents of all prospective students. Such, a statement is now sent only to parents of students who enter the freshman class. WEEK-ENDS Ludwig Lewisohn To Speak (Continued from first page) many non-fiction books, it is chiefly as a novelist that he has gained world-wide fame. Many of his novels, including "Crump," "The Island Within," "Stephen Escott," and "The Last Days of Shylock," have been translated into French, German, Swedish, Dano-Norwegian, Dutch, Italian, Spanish, Czechish, Hungarian, and Rumanian. LATEST WORK His latest work is "Triumph of Jubilee." As is the case with most of his books, he is more concerned with the spiritual upheaval rather than the economic consternation. In a criticism of "Triumph of Jubilee," Carl Van Doren calls it a "moving and beautiful novel of history and prophecy." Born in Berlin, Lewisohn came with his parents to South Carolina at the age of eight. After receiving his degree from the University of South Carolina, he taught German in two mid-western universities. After concluding his career as a professor, Lewisohn entered the field of literary criticism, taking over the position of drama editor of the "Na tion," editor of a prominent publish ing house, and a contributor to many periodicals. He has written two autobiographical novels, "Up Stream" and "Mid-ChanneL" 8. With respect to students opera ting cars for a temporary period or for dance week-ends only, the sub committee recommends no system of licensing. It does appear more feasible to attempt to maintain a continuing safety campaign than to go immedi ately into an elaborate system of con trol. 9. It is recommended, lastly, that the council avail itself of the services of the American Automobile associa tion for promoting safety among the students. For the time being, such a testing and educational project is be ing sought for the campus by the di rector of Graham memorial. - . The sub-committee is composed of Fred Weaver, chairman, J. Maryon Saunders, Dr. E. L. Mackie, Bob Magill, and Allen Merrill. Perkins Neglects Other . Tar Heels (Continued from first page) Steelman, who took his sociology doc torate here in 1928. After he obtained his degree he went to Alabama to teach. While there he met Secretary Perkins when she came down for a commencement address, and went to Washington to try to get work in her department. He made such a record in bringing employers and employees into agreement that he was soon pro moted and is now head of Madame UNC Ranks Low In Cost (Continued from first page) State College places tuition at $167.00 including regular fees, ?247.00 for out of state student.

The Syracuse Daily Orange. Student Chairman Calls For Action (Continued from first page) difficulty in financing its program. Rankin stated that he had received only $5.00. CONTRIBUTIONS Rankin also appealed to the stu dents and campus organizations for voluntary contributions to finance the program of the lobby. He pointed out that if each member of the student body gave only a penny it would be enough to pay for the printing of the evidence to be submitted to the com mittee, and he assumed personal re sponsibility for accounting for all ex penses of the campaign. "The outcome of this issue is now in your hands," Rankin said in a state ment to students, "Let's save what we have worked for for 145 years." - Lobby headquarters in Chapel Hill are at the YMCA, Box 815; in Ra leigh headquarters are located at the Parker house, 119 E. Edenton street. Union To Give Concert (Continued from first page concert at the University, has studied at the Curtis School of Music, and is at the present time an assistant in the University Music department. Swalin has been the head of the vio lin department at the University for Solution Offered For Negro Problem (Continued from first page) close contact with the University, it was probable that the bill had the unofkial approval of the University. Specifically, the bill does not call for formal opening of a graduate school in the two Negro colleges, but merely the opening of courses in law and pharmacy at the Durham insti tution, and agriculture and technology for the Greensboro college. The State Superintendent of Edu cation would be an ex -officio trustee of the two colleges, in order to pre vent any overlapping between new graduate courses offered. ASU STATEMENT Meanwhile, the American Student union last night issued a statement favoring admission of Negro stu dents to the graduate and profession al schools of the University. Also, the union directly opposed any attempt to raise tuition fees at the Univer sity and offered to cooperate with the Phi assembly and other campus or ganizations opposing the proposed increase. The statement concerning Negro applications follows: "T h e American Student union favors the provision of equal educa tional facilities for Negro students as stated in the recent decision of the United States Supreme court in relation to the University of Mis souri Law school in the state of North Carolina and throughout the South. "However, realizing that the funds appropriated by the state for Negro education are insufficient for the es tablishing of graduate and profes sional schools in the Negro colleges on a par with those in Chapel Hill, we favor admitting Negro students to the graduate and professional schools of the University of North Carolina."
