The bill of the joint committee on
appropriations after passing the
House on Friday was put through the
Senate in a rush on Saturday a pro
ceeding that has been looked forward
to with keen interest by everyone in
, any way connected with the Univer
sity. The bill carried appropriations
to the University of $87,000 for main
tenance and $50,000 annually for a
period of four years for permanent
improvements.
It would be useless to say that the
provisions of the bill are looked upon
as satisfactory by all the friends of
the University. The most of these
believe that the maintenance appro
priation should, at least, have been car
ried up to $100,000 even if the very
necessary fund for permanant im
provements should have had to be re

to this 'effect-namely that all non

who were interested in seeing the
dances put on a more Democratic
basis should takesteps to give a third
dance during Junior Week.
The leading men among the frater

matter prior to the meeting showed an
admirable spirit in encouraging the
project. The leading non-fraternitymen
of the . campus have put them
selves behind the movement. This
plan was adopted by the meeting and

But the provision of the Legislature
is, on the whole, a fair one in view of
the universally admitted deplorable
condition in which the State treasury
continually exists. The pertinent
question may, however, be asked: is
it the fault of the State's institutions
that there is no money in the treasury?
or does the finger point to those whose
business it is to see that the financial
condition of the treasury keeps pace
witn the growing wealth of the
Commo nwealth?
The biggest agency that helped the
cause of the University before the pre
sent legislature, outside of the loyal
support of the old University men
who were members of that body and
of others who voluntarily trave their
time and service to emphasizing her

tively launched by the leaders of one
of the denominations of the State
against institutions of higher learn
ing. The boomerang of the Hender
sonville resolutions came back into
the very faces of some of those who
launched it, and the end is not yet.
The campaign issue should be set
squarely before the people, without
any soft pedal notes; shall the Uni
versity grow and prosper?
The Legislature should have the
thanks and the commendation of all
University men for what it has done

that a few of them Were. A few in
dividuals seemed to think that after
they made a frat they could do as thev
pleased, the same spirit which says,
Alter l get to Heaven I'll be as wick
ed as I wish." This was what we
meant and what we still stand by. He
would be a snob indeed who would say
that all the boors in college were non-
frats. Against fraternity men as a
class, however, we had absolutely no
complaint to make, and did not think
it necessary to say so
