The UNC Library Wednesday
was voted an increase of $80,000
by a Joint Appropriations subcom
mittee for the 1957-59 biennium.
The Advisory Budget' Commis
sion had originally recommended
that the library be granted $125,
000 per year for the book acquisi
tion fund during the coming bien
nium. During the 1955-57 biennium the
library was granted $100,000 per
year for books. During the 1953
1955 biennium the library received
$125,000 for this purpose.
The increase will provide $165,
000 per year during the next two
years, the amount originally rec
ommended by the State Board of
Higher Education.
FRIDAY 'GRATEFUL
Consolidated University Presi
dent Friday commented on. the in
crease, "'The administration is very
grateful that the subcommittee on j
appropriations has recommended
an increase of $40,000 (per year)
ever and above the recommenda
tion of the budget committee for
the purchase of books- for the Uni
versity Library."
lie went on to say, "This action
will enable our library to acquire
the essential volumes and manu
scripts we so badly need."
Dr. Andrew Horn, Head Libra
rian, said the new budget would
put "us much closer to the amount
being spent in other comparable
libraries."
He said he was grateful to the
pre.-s and the administration for
calling the attention of the legis
lature to this problem and to the
people in the legislature who had
ot-ei wining to resiuay tne pro

"Get in another racket. It ain't

These were the words of advice
given to potential writers and re
viewers yesterday by - author
columnist Robert Ruark.
In the local area for a special
showing in Raleigh of the movie
made from , his latest book,
"Something of Value," Ruark
spoke to Walter Spearman's
journalism reviewing class on the
writing of his new novel and his ;
life as an author.
Asked why he had written

of the library and the people of
the state.
"I am quite sure that the rec
ognition of inadequacy was pretty
well demonstrated when. President
Friday presented his argument to
the appropriations committee.'"
RISE IN PRICES
Dr. Horn explained while the
sum eems like a lot,- the money
had to be distributed over a wide
field. Also recently the book pric
es have risen and the colume of
publishing has increased, especiall
ly in "important books."
As the departments require
more specialized books, the prices
of these books increase. As the
size of the library increases, the
expense of cataloguing the books j
grows. ' j
He said any prospective head !
librarian would ask what the bud- !
get was. Dr. Horn did not think j
UNC would have been able to keep
a good librarian long without more ;
money to buy new books.
When President Friday came I
before the Joint Appropriations !
Committee on March 20, he spent !
one half of the time allotted him !
for talking on the budget of the I
i i
; Consolidated University giving the j
rea 'ons for an increase in the li
brary appropration.
He pointed out what the other
universities were spending for their
libraries. President Friday stated
"adequate libraries are second
only to salaries in
faculty members."

ESSENTIAL
He explained a good library was
essential to graduate . study and
many people not enrolled in the
University but who live in North
Carolina use the library facilities.
"He believed in it (the increase
in funds); and he was the one who
accomplished it," commented Dr.
Manhattan telephone books of
copy and a new book."
Ruark said the book had been
called "the monster," but he at-
I tributes its success to the fact
that it is a "peculiar product of
timing."
"If the timing is good, the
book will be good, and this one j
deals with the unrest of a part i
of the world today," Ruark ob-1
served. 1
His timing has proved his point,
according to sales records. 200,
000 copies have been sold in
J hard-bound copies with 14 foreign
also added that 3 million copies
of the paper-backed editions had
been sold in 3 weeks.
