FRINK SUGGESTS
NAUTICAL SCHOOL
BE ESTABLISHED
Salary Proposals
Cut Professor's,
Raise Lawmaker's
By LOUISE JORDAN
Plans for the establishment of a
fourth unit of the Greater University
of North Carolina have been inaugu
rated by a group of sponsors into a
plea for the founding of a State nau
tical school. The proposition, incor
porated in a bill introduced by Sena
tor S. Bunn Frink of coastal Bruns
wick county, was to have been put
before the Senate Education commit
tee at a hearing yesterday morning.
Hope for aid from the Federal gov
ernment in setting up and 'maintain
ing the school is behind the plan, and
North Carolina's Robert. R., Reynolds
has proposed a measure to the United
States senate which would make this
possible. His bill, an amendment to the
Marine School act of 1911, would pro
vide an annual Federal appropriation
of $10,000,000 to be used in matching j
State appropriations for nautical
schools. .
The Frink bill calls for $50,000 from!
the State; therefore, North Carolina's
nautical college would be founded with
. f , . AAA
an initial expenditure oi xuy,uuu.
Also, if established, the school would
receive Federal' aid in the form of a
loan- i marine equipment f?- ' --
With the appropriations made avail
able by the Reynolds bill, now in com
mittee, it would be possible tor .any
state to establish such an institution.
The North Carolina sponsors seek to
act early and establish a ischool whicn
would be a model for other states to
follow.
Although four states now operate
schools under the old Marine act,
North Carolina's proposed school
would offer a curriculum of much
broader scope than is now provided
in any public nautical school.
Senator Frink says that since the
first proposal of the plan there have
been many expressions of support
from the public. He predicted that
within 25 years, North Carolina's nau
tical school would have an enrollment
equal to that of other branches of
the University.
Also from the legislature comes the
report of action taken by the joint ap
propriations committee, which on
! Tuesday lopped off without exception
pay increments recommended by the
Advisory Budget commission for in
structors in the various State-supported
colleges.
The increases in appropriations for
educational institutions necessitated by
the decision not to raise tuition for
resident students, amounted to ap
proximately $468,000.
Several days ago Representative
Mallison introduced a bill to submit
a constitutional amendment increasing
the salary of legislators from $600 to
$900 a term.

(2) It is $167,197 less than a conservative estimate of need.
Also because the University at Chapel Hill is now:
(1) Near the top in reputation among the 32 Universities comprising

(2) At the BOTTOM in salary scale among, the same 32 Universities

tions, were told by President Graham
that the appropriations for the con
solidated University for the next bien
hium will be over $400,000 less than
the amount allotted for the current
two-year period if ' the figures tenta
tively approved by the joint Appro
priations committee of the legislature
are hot revised upward.

parents,' friends, civic groups, and

Carolina Alumnus
Was Once Pierced
By Devil Prongs
Arthur Benjamin Stein, former Uni
versity student and bandmember who
was "speared" by the Duke Blue Devil
while parading at the Carolina-Duke
football game in 1933, was killed in
an automobile accident September 26,
near Santa Margarita, Calif., the
Alumni office was informed yesterday.
A native of New York city, Stein
was employed at the time of his death
as salesman for a woolen concern.
Thirty-two thousand spectators, the
largest crowd to witness a football
game during the year 1933, saw the
dramatic near-fatal accident that hap
pened to Stein.
According to the November 19, 1933,
Daily Tar Heel: "Stein was march
ing in the last row of the University
band as it marched down the field
during the half followed by the Duke
musical organization. The Blue Devil,
who was capering between the bands
throwing his pronged fork around the
field, misgauged the distance from his
position to that of the last members
of the University band and overthrew
the spear. It pierced Stein's back just
above the hips.1
"The fork was cut in an emergency
operation on the field by a member
of the Duke hospital staff . The wound
was ' treated later by anti-toxin and
antiseptics at the hospital where he
was a patient for several weeks."
SAFETY COUNCIL
WILL REGULATE
STUDENT DRIVERS
Committee Set Up
To Investigate
Debate Fee Levy
By CARROLL McGAUGHEY
" Working with a minimum amount
of delay last night, the Student legis
lature decided:
(1) To table the bill proposing the
abolition of intercollegiate boxing at
Carolina until additional information
is received concerning its effects on
participants.
(2) To accept the report of the
committee on organization and proce
dure, which included a recommendat
ion that the tendered resignation of
Legislature Chairman Bill Hendrix
be accepted.
(3) To set up a Student Safety
committee with delegated judicial
powers from the Student council over
matters of student lack of responsibil
ity in handling automobiles.
(4) To set up a committee to in
vestigate the debate fee levy.
(5) And to continue the present
system of selecting cheerleaders un
less further action is taken.
In resigning his position as chair
man of the legislature Hendrix re
quested that the constitution of the
body be waived for the remainder of
the administrative year to allow some
person other than the vice-president
of the student body to act as presiding
officer. The committee report recom
mended that this provision be accept
ed and that the president of the student
body, Jim Joyner, be allowed to fill
the position. - --
.When the bill proposing' the abolit
ion of the intercollegiate boxing at the
University came up on the floor for
discussion it was explained that much
of the information necessary for the
discussion and decision on the bfll.had
not yet been obtained, and that it was
advisable to delay action on the bill.
Joyner explained that the University
Health service is at present making an
investigation into the effects of the
sport on participants, but the report
is not yet ready for release.
By a vote of the body the bill was
tabled, and a committee consisting of
Studie Ficklen, chairman, Dick Wor
ley and Grady Stevens, was appoint
ed to investigate the problem, organ
ize the evidence, and present its re
port back to the legislature.
