For This Issue: ' NEWS: ED RANKIN SPORTS: GENE WILLIAMS o As The State Sees It Convinced that a $50 increase in the Greater University's tuition fees would inevitably sacrifice the educational op portunities of hundreds of North Carolina youths and would be a bad thing for both the University and the State whom it serves, the Daily Tar Heel naturally has an editorial policy opposed to the proposal for such a tuition increase now in the hands of the State Assembly at Raleigh, s From the editorial columns of our State papers have ap peared encouraging comments on this issue so vital to the well-being of the University. They have been expressions of opinion by citizens of the State on whom the fate of State-supported institutions ultimately rest. "The legislature is dealing with a serious matter, indeed, when it considers a proposition, the adoption of which would .make the road to a college education more difficult for thou- sands of poor, but talented and ambitious, boys and girls in North Carolina," writes an editorialist in January ll's Winston-Salem Journal. He goes on to say, "We do not believe the General Assembly should increase tuition fees until it is certain there is no better way to provide funds to maintain ; its institutions ..." The Kinstori Free Press made this editorial comment last i week, concerning tuition increases: "If such increases mean that any considerable number of worthy applicants tare de prived of higher educational opportunities certainly it would be unwise to make such increases ... In other words, let's not make the colleges stand still while other phases of the State's life go forward." "It may be assumed," says a Greensboro Daily News edi torial of January 14, in reference to students who could not pay $50 more of tuition, "that a third, more or less, of the best minds in the State, those that would most richly repay the State for its expenditure on higher education, are in cluded in this class who would be served with notice that . the State's invitation to the spring of knowledge had been withdrawn." 4 0 Monetary Standard Here are some of the facts brought out in a recent study of college education in Pennsylvania for the Carnegie foun dation by Learned and Wood: 1. Tests of high school seniors in Pennsylvania showed that one-fourth of those who did not go to college were above the college average of intelligence. 2. The dullest boy in one superior college was found by ac tual test to be ahead of the brightest boy in an inferior col lege. 3. In various instances students knew less in tested fields when they graduated than when they entered. 4. Colleges were getting one out of every seven young people, where they used to get one of every twenty-four. 5. One-third of the cost of sending students to college is paid out of public funds, one-third from gifts and endow- , ments, only the remaining third by students. From these facts it may be deduced that many of the stu dents today in college are not the students which should be there, and further, that we should only let the gifted stu-' dent go to college. However,, we look at this conclusion with a somewhat jaundiced eye, if only because the purpose and policy of this university is not to pick and choose its stu- Car Heel -Editor Managing Editor .Business Manager .Circulation Manager THE 1:30 CLASS By Adrian Spies PLEASANT WEEK BLOWS IN WITH "TRADE WINDS' . "Out West with the Hardy s" (Sun and Mon) is one of the lesser1 Hardy films, but is still pleasant entertain ment. In this latest sequel the "typical American" family carries their homey pleasantries out to a western ranch. In this case the inevitable complica tions are something out of the old judge's past a former sweetheart is in danger of losing her ranch. As the formula dictates, the Hardys romanti cize, capisze, harmonize, and sigh into a happy ending. The authors and director of the Hardy sequence have hit upon a very pleasant and profitable practice. They take the you and me of America and place us into the adventurous but plausible spots that we never quite at tain. This clever practice and the ca pabilities of the cast have made this series the most popular of its sort in screen history. Lewis Stone, Cecilia Parker, and Fay Holden are as accept able as ever. And Mickey Rooney, he of that French interlude and swingy clarinet, overacts in the same delight ful robustness that has made him a young star. "The Girl Doumstairs" (Tuesday) is a. society comedy with a mild social consciousness, if such a paradox is possible. Franchot Tone late of Joan Crawford and newly acquired of most of the footloose beauties in the business is cast into the ancient rich girl-poor girl situation. As a cocktail noble of drawing room parlance he must move through the contrasted loveliness of "Fifth Avenue sables and Tenth Avenue frocks." Franciska Gaal and Rita Johnson1 are the poles of femininity, and both of them are good. Tone moves tongue-in-cheek through not too serious situations and finally chooses his lady. It is fairly clever comedy well handled, with an especial appeal who like their characters en sconced in a royal blue. "Trade Winds" (Wed and Thurs) is a motion picture that cost a million dollars and might be worth a thirty cent investment. We use the dubious case because it has been created for certain entertainment appetites those who like their adventure in round the world proportions, and like their love backgrounded with an au thentic shot of some near legendary land. For those of us who like a ro mantic brain massage, this film will be worth some thirty cents. This is the very famous movie for which Director Tay Garnett sailed around the world with his camera. Although much of his film was never used, there is enough to give a certain reality to the melodramatic plot. For it concerns Joan Bennett with hair done up brown and looking very much like our own Hedy Lamarr as a fu gitive from San Francisco justice. Fredric March is the detective pur suer, and Ann Sothern is the sur prisingly substantial supporting play er. In fairness to Garnett it must be said that he has blended his charac- dents, but to offer an education to any qualified North Caro lina citizen who wants it. Yet if the legislature increases the tuition fifty dollars per year, we will begin to pick and choose our students, not even on the basis of fitness for a college education, but upon their ability to pay for an education.

WC TO BE INCLUDED Joyner plans a similar trip to Wom an's college at Greensboro today and is writing letters to student leaders at the teacher's college at Boone and Cullowhee, setting forth the plans at the other institutions and making sug gestions for their cooperation. Students at State college Friday held a mass meeting to discuss to ad visory budget commission's proposal which would increase their tuition by $45. Col. J. W. Harrelson, dean of ad ministration said, "We are respectful ly appealing to the general assembly to defeat this proposal . . . We believe the majority of the members are op posed to it, but we must not rest until this matter is defeated." E. L. Cloyd, dean of students, also addressed the hundreds of students assembled. "The - general assembly won't pay attention to you if you go down there to protest, because you can't vote," Cloyd said, "But the folks back home can vote. Say to your families to tell the legislators ou can't afford to pay $45 more." UNANIMOUS The students unanimously adopted a resolution calling on the legislature to kill the commission's recommenda tion, and letters were passed out at ters and story into the background with discretion. Miss Bennett looks exotic which is all that can be asked of her. Mr. March, without a conveni ent mantlepiece to rant and disclaim from, is rather lost. But there is enough vitality to the plot, and sup port from the general fullness of the production to make it worth while, v "Flirting with Fate" (Friday) is another Joe E. Brown picture. We rest our case. "Little Tough Guys In Society" (Saturday) has been reviewed once before in this column. For some reason or other, it never appeared at the scheduled time. In repetition then, let it be said that this is another of the conscientiously juvenile "kid" films. However this latest regurgitation of "Dead End" compromises with all of the laws of the movie industry by sup plying the farcial element and the happy ending. Mary Boland is pre sented as a flighty lady of society af flicted with a son, Jackie Searl, who has developed a convenient complex which keeps him in bed. Counciled by Mischa Auer, she imports a gang of "Little tough guys" to revivify her offspring. Among other things, such as a theft case, the little mugs cure the son. But the obvious humor of a gashouse gang invading New York society is crudely played, and there is more confusion than any of the situa tions warrant. Mary Boland is worthy of a better fate, as is the newly ressurected Auer. WED.-THUR. . Fredric March Joan Bennett in - "TRADE WINDS' FRIDAY Joe E.

Senator Frink of Brunswick and others ex pressed confidence in their belief that the legislators would not follow the commission's proposal to raise tuition fees for North Carolinians. 3,301 Students Enrolled (Continued from first page) ' school of library science; and 54 stu dents are engaged in social work. 378 COEDS Three hundred and seventy-eight women students ar registered in the University, amounting to 11.50 per cent of the total University enroll ment.
