PAGE TWO Cheating Racket Publicity Fails To Hurt Registration State University’s Assistant Registrar Cites Experiences Interviewing Prospective Students As Aftermath of Stories of Honor S ystem Violation By K. W. MAURY Chapel .Hill, Aug. 11 There may be something after ali in an old saying that “any publicity is good publicity.” When seme . r >o students were su spended from the University of North Carolina last winter pending an in vestigation of charges that they par ticipated in a cheating racket news papers of the nation broadcast the story far and wide. The existence of these wholesale violations of the university’s honor code could easily have been suppress ed by the university administration had it been minded to do so. Had the leader of the been tipped off that ht? activities were about to be investigated, he certainly would have left town pronto and destroyed the evidence.or taken it with him. for his bookkeeping system furnished the principal testimony that led to the conviction. Attitude of Administration The university administration how ever. never considered for a moment a suggestion that the situation be given a whitewash. “Ho to the very bottom and make a thorough invest igation. regardless of who is involv ed” was in substance the order that went out from the administration and the student council. Immediately the front pages of newspapers throughout the country were carrying the story., and they continued to carry it for the three weeks tha investigation was under way. And "immcdintnly some represent atives of the student body, faculty and alumni began to protest such publicity. “You ought to suppress re ports on this situation,” they were saying. “It’s terrible to let the news papers print such stuff. It will do the university great harm ’ Such ex pressions were typical. Those who complained in such man ner apparently overlooked the fact that the university’s policy has al ways been to send to the press all legitimate news, whether goud or bad, and not to attempt suppression. Moreover, there was another side to the picture. Wasn’t it a good l E i % If . % >ER the su* X ** Don’t/ rirwr^ — i i ■ Your Steering Wheel „ . YOU can’, win the de- there’s something wrong ?

Wouldn’t this cleans ing have a wholesome effect and make the Carolina campus a better place for all students? What many people at the time con sidered bad publicity may turn out to be good publicity, if one may judge by the experience of one uni versity official recently. Ben Hus bands, assistant registrar, went to New York to interview more than a hundred boys living in the metropo litan area who were applying for admission to the freshman class of the university. "Practically every boy I talked to said he had read about the cheating racket in the New York papers last winter, and each one said that it had made him more eager than ever to come to Chapel Hill,” Registrar Hus bands related. “They told me they had heard such things wont on in a great many colleges <p q that they had the gccatout admiration for an institution that was honestly trying to correct such condition;'.” Soy Bean Hay To Be Better If Cut At Earlier Date College Station, Raleigh. Aug. 11.— Most North Carolina farmers would get a better quality soybean hay by cutting it three to six weeks earlier. The best hay is secured by cutting the crop when the pods are small and before any beans have formed, said E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at State College. Most growers wait several weeks after this time and the farmers get a mixture of straw and beans rather than a good hay, he pointed out. Early planted soybeans will be ready to cut in August. Lespedeza hay, he added, should be cut while the plants are blooming. Korean les pedeza usually blooms about the mid dle of August, while some of the other varieties will bloom the latter part of the month. When common Kobe and Tennessee 76 lespedeza are cut at an early stage, Blair pointed out, they not only pro duce good hay, but the second growth will reseed the land or make a good crop to turn under. August is the month to start sow ing fall cover crops so the land will not be left lying bare after corn, cot ton, and tobacco have been harvested. Vetch or crimson clover hay may be sown in cotton when it is laid by, or in corn and tobacco which have already been laid by, Blair stated. Scatter the seed and cover it with a cultivator. Sow vetch at the rate of 20 to 25 pounds to the acre and crimson clover at the rate of 30 pounds to the acre When it is sown in the hull. Terrace Outlets Are Important As Terraces Are College Station, Raleigh, Aug. 11— A chain is only as strong as its weak est link, and, likewise a terrace is just as good, or as bad, as the out let into which it empties water. Terraces emptying into a gully, over a steep slope, into a road ditch or any other place that may erote is not only defeating its own purpose hut in many cases does far more harm than good, says H. R. Tribou of the Soil Conservation Service. In cooperation with the State Col lege Extension Service enough ter races to reach from Manteo on the Atlantic to Fairbanks, Alaska, and back, have been constructed in North Carolina. Many times where there is a poor terrace outlet it is necessary, Tribou advises, to construct a ditch for the r HENDERSON, (N. C.) DAILY DISPATCH, TUESDAY. AUGUST 11, 1936 Architects drawing of N. C. State's new athletic field house is pictured above. The house will cost $30,000 and its construction is to begin Thursday of this week. It is estimated that more than three months will be required to complete the building. When finished the filed house will terraces to empty into, the ditch car rying the water to a siutable outlet. These ditches may be of two types, the vegetative ditch, which is protect ed from washing by pasture glasses, and the mechanical ditch in which properly-placed dams retard the flow of water and minimize erosion. The mechanical ditch should be used on a steep slope and the vegetative ditch on the gentle slopes where silting will not occur. The meadow strip is, however, the best type of outlet. On fields that nave a natural “draw,” often a mea dow strip can he established that will serve both as a terrace outlet and as a source of hay. The cheapest and most effective outlet, says Tribou, is woodland, out even these need some protection, es pecially when the woods are very steep and the vegetative cover thin.

Several of these fruit jar substitutes for slot machines have made their appearance here in places where the feeding of nickels to the "one-armed bandits” was the prin cipal pastime until _ Superior Court Judge M. V. Barnhill, of Rocky Mount, cracked down on the slot machine op erators in Raleigh and Wake county. Similar home-made gambling equip ment has also been noticed recently in tilling stations and lunch rooms in neighboring counties. The fruit jar slot machine consists of nothing more than a two-gallon fruit jar, filled with water; a small glass in the bottom of the fruit jar, and submerged in the water and a top in which a slot has been cut large enough to permit the insertion of a nickel or a quarter. The idea is to drop a nickel or quarter into the small glass at the bottom of the fruit jar. Two different plans for paying off are used, at the discretion of the pro prietor. One is to pay the player dou ble the amount played when he or she succeeds in dropping a coin into at the south end of Riddick Stadium. A large passage way will be provided through the center of the building to permit cars to pass out of Riddick Stadium. State College is furnished sft),ooo of the total cost. Construction work will be done by WPA labor. the small glass at the'bottom of the jar, so that if a person plays five cents and succeeds in dropping his nickel into the small glass, the op erator pays him 10 cents, or if he uses a quarter and succeeds in drop ping the quarter in the small glass, he gets 50 cents in return, A second plan of paying off is to pay 25 cents to each person who succeeds in drop ping a coin into the small glass at the bottom of the jar, nickels being used entirely. This is a five-to-one pay-off plan, while the other is only a two-to one pay-off. Most of the fruit-jar “slots” in this section were introduced by a man who went about “selling” the idea to filling station and lunch room operators for $2 per “machine.” Horace M.
