Entered as second-class mail matter t the Post Office, Chapel Hill, N. C, Thursday, January 6, 1927 PARAGRAPHICS The old grind begins again. We have resolved not to make any more, resolutions. A news dispatch says' that Walter Johnson has signed a one-year contract for his 21st consecutive season with the Sen ators. Looks like old Barney "stays put" while scandals come and scandals go. But maybe we shouldn't be speaking of baseball so early in the year, Old King Football has finally given away to Old Lady Basketball and the old 'oman has already made her debut. The games during the holiday ses sion showed that a handicapped team may spring a great many surprises before the season is over. . that the telephone operators will say amen to this. The expected has happened a gain. It was promised that reno vation would be completed on New East building for the Geol ogy department by the begin ning of the Winter quarter. Haste will have to be made if the department is to get in its new home by Easter. Chapel Hill is a mecca this week for the Fourth Estate. We welcome the newspaper men and hope they will have an enjoyable as well as instructive institute. W. O. Saunders, editor of the Elizabeth City Independent and called a great iconoclast by many people, will speak in chapel Fri day morning, We don't know what Editor Saunders' is going to speak about, but we know it will be worth hearing. STATE APPROPRIATIONS The first quarter of the School of Religion proved to be quite successful. Twenty students were enrolled and showed their interest by the fact that there was no credit given. They en tered the courses and stayed on .them because they desired the work for its personal value in the building of their philosophy of life. The cabinet-members of the Y have prepared a list to present to the faculty, contain ing the names of men who will take courses this quarter pro vided credit is given. The deans of the.University are quite hos pitable to the idea of . the School of Religion and it is probable that the faculty at an early date will go into the matter of credit-recognition. The Orange Printshop did a great service in printing and distributing the University tel ephone directories. We feel sure In several of his recent ad dresses President Chase has em phasized the fact that the Uni versity's needs, as set forth in the budget request for the next two years, have not been over estimated by one penny and that failure to meet these needs .will cripple the institution's ; prog ress to no little extent. President Chase is everlast ingly, right, and the Tar Heel hopes the Legislature will give careful consideration to every item on that request. Economy is all right but the calamity howlers have been too ; many. The University's request for maintenance for the next two years is for approximately $1,100,000 a year, as against the $800,000 it is now receiving, Two years ago the statement of the University's operating needs for the current two years per iod laid by the institution before the legislature called for an ap propriation of approximately $2,000,000 for the current two year period. That was for things that the University re garded as important for it to do two years ago. And that re quest was sharply cut, the Uni versity receivinginstead of the little less than $2,000,000 a lit tle over a million and a half. As a result it was not able to do most of the things it had planned during this period. These things are still important. It is asking for them again, and for an increase over and above these of about ten " percent to cover its expansion for the next two years.- In other words the University is asking simply that it be placed by 1929 in the posi tion it would have occupied had its program been continued at normal rate. Surely this is reasonable request. The second part of the Uni versity's request is for buildings and calls for approximately $2,300,000. It will be recalled that in 1920 the University out lined a building program of five and a half million over a six year period; Of this amount it had received at the end of the six years $3,940,000, and is now asking for this and also for some $750,000 to carry its pro gram up to the end of an eight year period. This will put the University abreast of its cur rent needs. Of the many pressing needs of the University which are em bodied in t'he building program, the central feature is a modern library, which is regarded by al umnitrustees, faculty, and stu dents as the most pressing. If the building appropriations now requested is made, . the building problem of the Univer sity will be settled for some time to come. It will have caught up with its current building needs, and await further expansion. Surely the Legislature 1 will not halt the progress of this in stitution when it has reached such an important stage. ; ; THE NEW SPEAKER It speaks well for University traininsr that all three candi dates for the speakership in the House of Representatives were University alumni TJhey were Richard T. Fountain, '07, of Rocky Mount ; Nat Townsend, '05, of. Dunn; and H. G. "Tobe' Connor. '97, of Wilson. The three ran a close race, with Mr, Fountain emerging by a narrow margin. '.- - The Tar Heel is not quite sure what the new speaker means by his pronouncement on "conservative "progress," but it feels assured, in view 'of his pre vious record, that Mr. Fountain has the capacity and leadership to discharge efficiently the new duties for which he has been se lected. He served eight years as judge of the Rocky Mount City Court He has served as vice-president of the State Bar Association and it a member of the American Bar Association, This is his fifth , term in the House, having been elected each time without opposition. His record is impressive. OPEN FORUM Editor of Tar Heel: Please let me correct an error that crept into a recent issue. During the past month the circulation of the Main Library increased 31 over that of No vember 1925. Indiana University Department of English Bloomington, Indiana Editor of Tar Heel: I recently .spent some two weeks at the University' of North Carolina working prin cipaiiy witn tne materials, in your library for studying early American literature, and I want to congratulate North Carolina students, who have at their com' mand so complete a file of early periodical and other literature. I wish also thus publicly to thank the library staff fortheir cheerful long-suffering and .un failing courtesy in dragging out some hundreds of heavy vol umes for my inspection. Very truly yours, ROY A. TOWER Editor of Tar Heel: After all of the discussion at the senior smoker concerning the question of whether the write-ups' should go in the Yack-ety-Yack or hot, I am still con vinced that the vain flattery should be left out. Of course the majority of the seniors de ciding in favor of the annual carrying the self -satisfying van ity does not mean the editor of that book will do as they wish. He is responsible for the year book and it is up to him to make it as good as he' can in any way he may choose. v In the write-ups that always appear in the Yackety-Yack, there isn't a bit of justification for the contents. Nine times, out of ten the. men who spend four years hanging around the drug store get more praise ion their "contribution" to university life than the man who has really done something here. Everybody is the campus sheikj belongs to the intelligentsia, the literati, and it bound to make a grand success in life. Useless bunk! With the present prevarica tion, equivocation, and quibbling in these write-ups there is ev ery justification in the world for leaving them out of the year book. P. D.
