SMALLER HIGHWAY APPROPRI
ATIONS AND EDUCATION
The move made by the state high
way jcommissipn in ( session yesterday
at Raleigh should be of particular in
terest to those who are interested in
and intimately associated , with, other
state-supported , institutions'. The
highway, commission, adopted a reso
lution declaring that no more . .bond
issues will be requested of the state
at the next meeting of. the, general
assembly for support, and construction
work of highways. The resolution as
adopted by the commission reads as
follows: .
"Resolved, That the State: Highway
Commission will not request the next
General Assembly to authorize an ad
ditional , bond issue to be used in the
construction of. the State highway
system. The , commission, v however,
is . considering a plan for the addi
tion to the State system of additional
roads to be maintained t at State ex
pense." . . ' , '. . . ' ,
Just what this resolution means in
the matter of future support of the
highway system by appropriations of
the. general assembly is hard . to say. i
Since 1921 four legislatures have had !
issued $115,000,000 in bonds for the ;
purpose of constructing highways. . It :
goes without question that this stu-1
pendous sum spent for highways has j
paid the state heavy dividends since
the construction of our enviable sys-j
tern. North Carolina . has received
wider and greater comment on her
road building program than other ,
undertaken in recent years.
However, those informed and with
an eye to the future have seen that
such extensive outlays for roadbuild
ing cannot continue with the problem
of small and inadequate appropria
tions for other state institutions ham
pering the . eff ectiveness and function
ing of these institutions. While the
mass and progressive, leaders have
been shouting and booming for more
highways, others, have seen that edu
cation and charitable institutions, sup
ported ; and controlled by the state,
have not been receiving their propor
tional share of appropriations. Per
haps their day;, has, or is about to,
come now..
This should not be construed to
mean that there is any. sentiment, here
to disparage the value, of North Caro
lina's, highway system . and the im
portance of continuing t with the pro
gram. In this day, when communica
tion at a rapid rate in. the cheapest
way means so much to the business
activities, and . the general welfare of
the s citizens, , highway construction
cannot be allowed to reach a stag
nant stage. Nor , should , the expan
sion, in .the system by,, building jiew
roads, and the addition of more routes
to be maintained by the state, be halt
ed in anywise. .
The commission reports that , the
surplus available for construction af
ter all . other charges upon . the cur
rent revenue ,of the highway commis
sion had been paid for ; .last year
amounted to approximately $8,000,000
and is expected to be greater this
year. This simply goes to show that
funds for highway work are being,'
and can be raised by adequate tax
es on gasoline, automobiles, etc. It
is coming to be recognized that those
who use the highways should pay
practically all the costs of construc
tion and maintenance, while at the
same time it is granted that highway
construction will enhance values of
real estate and other holdings.
If the highway commission does
not ask for a bond issue and contin
ues to find ways of placing the costs
of the highways on those who use
them, it is clearly seen that, more
funds will be available for education
al and charitable projects. It is in
contestable that these recognized state
duties have been playing second fid
dle to highway construction.
CLIPPED
BROADCAST BAN
It will strike those who have fol
lowed the swift development of radio
broadcasting that the State College
and the University of North Carolina
followed a short-sighted policy when
they put a ban on the broadcasting
of basketball games. We believe it
is a policy that will eventually be dis
continued and- that the college ath
letic authorities will welcome, as
they ought to welcome, thk addition
al instrumentality for popularizing
sports. :
. Basketball is a peculiarly exciting
game from the spectator's stand
point. It is a game that brims over
with, action, and with, such xapd ac
tion that the unitiated is apt to mis3
the nice points of the sports because
the eye has not been trained to fol
low the play. Even a graphic de
scription of: the game is no substi
tute for the game itself.
. If there has been afalling'l off in
basketbair gate receipts, since broad
casting was inaugurated, is it not
possible that this is due altogether
or in part to some other cause? Even
if to some extent this decrease in at
tendance is, due to the radio, is it not
possible that the advantages in the
long run vastly, outweigh , any imme
diate handicap ? Raleigh News and
Observer.
. WOULD NOT BE POPULAR
So far as .we have been able to find,
no one North Carolina newspaper has
expressed approval of the proposed
plan to increase tuition at the Uni
versity of North Carolina. The press
of the state is about as close to the
sentiment of the people as any other
class, and the fact that there is much
opposition to the proposed increase
indicates that the people generally
would not endorse it. The University
is the state's own institution, and
should, even if : larger appropriations
are necessary, (and they will be), try
its utmost to accommodate the great
est number of young men and women
who earnestly desire an education.
If anything is done by the state, it
should be in lowering' the costs of
securing an education rather than in
creasing it. Durham Morning Herald.
CELLAR
EEPINGS
By Andy Anderson ,
James M.' Cox says that prohibition
is an experiment, and that the experi
ment must run its course. Well, there
have been a lot of runs made since
prohibition. ,
"That isn't gneiss," said the man
as a passing motorist threw a lot of
dust in his face.
The. earliest known use in.Euglish
literature of the expression "I do not
choose" is in .several of Shakespeare's
plays. , We expect to hear .the-reverend
Cal bust out most any day with
a pun. .
Chapel Hill Weekly ,says that Mr.
Booker; was , "on - the ; air" the other
night. We beg to differ with . Mr.
Graves; a more, appropriate use of
our., language 4 would have been "in
the air." ..'
A certain criminal . was sentenced
to be hanged. . When the party ar
rived on the scene,, the rope was there
but there was no , loop. "Well," he
said, "no noose , is . good noose."
Trotsky is as good as his name.
He's forever on the trotsky.
We notice that Hickman has told
an alienist that his (Hickman's) con
fession was not correct. v If this goes
through, Ye Stude will probably try
the same method on professors 'after
quiz papers have been graded.
Kidnapping seenfs to be quite in
vogue at present. How come some
of , the professors have been over
looked? : Secretary Wilbur wants the navy
either built up or scrapped. Why
not do both and use this scrap iron
we' hear so much about?
Two of the oldest chickens in the
world were exhibited at a poultry
show v in New York recently. What
we want to know is how one of them
got down this far.
A man was arrested in Chicago
the other day for operating a machine
gun and being drunk. We suppose the
judge took, his drunken condition into
consideration and let him off.
Scientists say that man's cycle of
life will be 100 years before very
long. . As long as the scientists have
quite , a bit to ; do with : the matter,
we suggest that the life of congress
men be shortened.
. Geraldine Farrar says that youth
is largely a state of mind. . Goodness,
youth can't, have sunk that low.
The annual cost of higher education
in this country, now is . $300,000,000
educators estimate. We suppose that
includes funeral expenses of collegiate
liquor experiments.
Some woman has written, to a doc-
i tor; telling him that her - baby eats
dirt whenever he can get hold of any.
Reports extant are that' seyeral cam
pus politicians are related to the family-'
. ' ; ' .
"Maybe the university authorities
who- banned automobiles were - only
taking ,a . rap at companionate car
riages." This probably means that
spooning couples can't be divorced
from them.
A 12-year-old New Jersev bov
pointed a rifle at a teacher when she
refused to give back his dice. It is
rumored that both weapons were
loaded.
Law dance here tomorrow night and
a Grail Saturday "night. Students
will be going round quite a bit over
the week-end.
Fireman added to local department,
we learn. Probably to keep things
hot in the village.
Chapel Hill is to have an art ex
hibit. Will slickers be included in
the show? v
We notice that Jamaica expects a
record number of tourists this year.
The ocean must have been playing
havoc with rum ships.
This paper . formerly was a sport
sheet exclusively. From the last is
sue, it appears that it is going back
to the, old policy.
' . .
Add to Southern paradoxes the
speech of a Kentucky gentleman when
he accidentally stepped on the toe of
a man he hated: "Pardon, suh; damn
you."
BUCCANEER DEADLINE
FALLS SUNDAY NIGHT
The last, home and final dead
line for copy for , the Travel
Number of the Buccaneer is
Sunday night, February 5. This
applies to reading material only
as the cuts are already up.
This is the first "number"
that the Buccaneer has put out
this year; this others have not
labored under any special title.
After this issue, the Girl's Issue
wilj appear in March.
Andy , Anderson, editor, stated
that keys were awarded on a
competitive basis and those
holding the best record in ex
cellence and volume of copy
submitted would be ( awarded
charms at the end of the year.
He also . stated that the editorial
staff had not been f unctioning
as well as it shoula have for the .
past two or three months, neces-
, sitating the deadline to be
moved up constantly to , allow
for late copy. The above dead-
line, he says, is final.
Appearance of
Hampton Quartet
Again Postponed
,;. Due o a continued conflict.. of en
gagements a definite announcement of
the date of the . appearance of the
Hampton Quartet cannot be : made at
present. The group was. to render-a
concert, in Memorial Hall on. March 6.
Mr. H. F. Comer announced yes
terday that they were expected be
tween now and May. This event will
be looked forward to by the entire
campus. Last year the group gave
a ., selection of negro spirituals and
old-time songs to a capacity audience.
The songs were well-received, and sev
eral encores were given. The singers
hail from the Hampton Institute in
Virginia, and are practically the only
famous quartet who still present 'in
their programs the old negro songs.
MISTAKE
A Duck Brand slicker was taken
Tuesday night from Welcome Inn
cafeteria by mistake. The slicker
bore the name of Paul L. Gilbert on
the inside of the lapel. If the mis
taken party , will come to 202 F he
can get his own in exchange. .
