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

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. Q.
