Thursday, January IS, 1927 PARAGRAPHICS Who is it that hasn't slipped down yet? - Ihe Vicar of Leeds says ''the word 'pet' does not exist in Eng land. And 'necking' doesn't either. -The things don't hap pen over here. x I'm sure they don't' ,We suppose they put "it on love in England. A lot of it in this country is called love. We understand that the dif ference between' necking and petting, is that necking is a waste of oil, gasoline, and park ing space, and petting is the wear and tear on parlor furni ture. . The Greensboro Daily News says: "The co-ed is a safer auto mobile driver than the college boy,, say insurance companies, who, however, neglect to tell how much less safe she is after the car is shopped."

The chairman of the National Christian Students' Conference, which was recently held at Mil waukee, Wis., said she saw noth ( ing improper or immoral in a girl smoking. Further she said : "There are times when a cig arette satisfies just as much as an ice-cream soda. . It doesn't make any difference,' it seems a-v,wv 5111 ic freshment in a smoke or a s-jda glass.". About petting she said: "I believe the urge to pet is just as strong in women as it is in men. But I think it is ah im pulse which should be restrain ed." The "intellectuals" of the Governor A. W. McLean' budget, submitted to the general assembly Friday, carries an ap- propriation of $1,220,000 for the permanent improvement of the University and its plant. Com paratively speaking, the sum is fair and just. The badly need ed library, the reconstruction of new wing on Peabody hall, new .dormitory, furniture and fixtures for the above building and improvement of ground and permanent equipment' are the things listed for which the appropriations for the ' coming biennium are to be used. That the new library building leads the other projects signifies that its importance is realized It is agreed by the University authorities that the new library is the greatest single physical need of the institution today, However, a proviso in the appro priation bill stipulates that not over $500,000 may be used for the construction of . the library building. It will be recalled that the budgetary-request ; of the University when the Governor's budget was being prepared las fall asked for $861,700 with which to build the new library, which must be of such size and capacity that will augment the growth of Carolina and be of real serviceable size to keep with the increasing; number of stu dents. Without doubt the li brary of any school is the cen ter of its scholastic activities. Consider the cost of new li braries of other institutions in the class which the University falls. Iowa recently put v $700,- 000 in a new library; Illinois spent $1,250,000 for a library and equipment; Dartmouth is spending $1,170,000 on their new library; Washington uni versity is building a library at cost of nearly $2,000,000; while Yale is putting $B,000,000 into the hew Sterling library, To limit the cost of a building of the permanence and impor tance of a library to half a mil- ion dollars leads us to question if it is the beginning of a pro gram to limit the growth of the University. The present inade quate library building, known as the Carnegie library, was erect ed in 1906-07 at a cost of $55,000. Taking into consider ation that a 1907 dollar is today valued in buying power at about two dollars by economists, one may say that the present library cost slightly more than one-fifth the stipulated limit that the new ibrary will cost Further, it must be remembered that the building of 1907 was construct- to provide -facilities for sev eral hundred students and three of four schools. Today the li brary must serve a 2,500 student body of the University's one col lege and eleven schools. More over, it is but a matter of time until the student body will ap proximate twice its present size. The stipulation of the biennial appropriations for the perma nent improvements of the Uni versity limiting the new library to a half million dollars cost car ries, with it the feeling that the institution is being groomed for relegation to the second-rate class.

Q. concerning the omission of senior write-ups from the Yackety-Yack, we desire to say in the first place that Mr. P. D. Q. has no logical ar gument to offer, unless he has. re served it for another letter. rIn the first instance, he argues that "vain flattery" should be left out If that be true, ' we ' are sure that he will not hesitate to omit the insertion of his own picture. Furthermore, and admitted for the sake of argument that write-ups do, in general, carry some flattery,' we wish to ask whether the Yackety-Yack for 1927 is to be a year book of University life that the student body ; will treasure through the years, or a treatise on logic and sound reasoning. An unexpressed but seemingly un derlying reason of Mr. P. D. Q seems to be that he fears that such foolish Tvrite-ups .as . appear in the Yackety-Yack from year to year would throw his brain child open to severe criticism. Throughout the years the Yackety-Yack has been freer from criticism than any other University publication and treasured by University Alumni' as symbolic of University life as they knew it. It has found a treasured place in the libraries of all University men. To us -it seems that Mr, P. D. must be the personification of auto cracy. A Bismarck, a Trotsky, or a Mussolini, a concentration of pow er nngranted by the student body which elected him and to which he is responsible.' This matter was brought up before the Senior class in a regular class meeting and discussed pro and con. With little argument produced on the con side. A vote showed that the Senior Class was heartily in favor of retaining the write-up. To us this vote seems am ple justification for keeping the write-up. ' He has the personal right to judge the write-ups as foolish but no right to judge for the group. He can judge as one of the group, but cannot execute his judgment without the consent of the group. We ask, what good is to result from the change T The main propon ent for the change as presented at the Senior Class meeting stated that the change would allow four pictures to be placed on a page, thus giving more money, which the arts staff claims to need for carrying' out its plans. We, resent strenuously the crowding of four pictures on a page, which would mean a mere catalogu ing of familiar faces. We care not what kind of write-up the drug store cowboy, the campus shiek, the intel ligentsia, the literati get, for we know them all, and if their write-ups are "mere bunk" we know that too, Each senior is responsible for the write-up whichppears under : his name, and if he can submit , to vain flattery, why should we object? We have not been promised a bet- I ter publication if the change is made nor will the price post be less. We have all to lose and nothing to gain, but the damage would mean more money in somebody's pockets. We hope ' the following questions will lead to further discussion. I. Why was not this matter taken up before picture and space fees were paid? 2. Why was this determination to make the change not made known in the Senior Class meeting, rather than through the Tar Heel? R. B. T ALLEY, 27 DAVID B. TAYLOR, '27 R. F.

There she delivered one of the prin cipal addresses before the drama section of the National Associ ation of Teachers of Speech. Her subject was "Harlequinading in North Carolina;" in this she dis cussed the work of the Univer sity in encouraging community drama throughout the state. Miss Rockwell spent three days in Madison, Wisconsin, ,vis-i iting friends. She says that she was probably the first Chapel Hill-ite to meet Vincent Howell Snell, the new son of Mr. and Mrs. C. D.
