Parker James Rogers W.K Marshall The paragrapher in the last issue of the Duke Chronicle has seemingly raised a vital question without the omployment of that "degree of mental 3xertion necessary to determine, by glancing at the calendar, what day follows Tuesday. The . paragraph reads thus: "Carolina decides to give North Carolina the advantage, while Duke aims at Cosmopolitanism. We won der which policy is better?" This gentle inference necessitates an explanation of the subject treated in the above paragraph. At the meeting nf tli ft picw.ntive committee of thfe Walter Spearman Assistant Editor Tih nrifn 3 - the full meeting of the trustees, Pres ident Chase raised the question of finances (not a new question, at all) and dwelt upon the rapid increase of out-of-state students,. It. is obvious that without the necessary funds are forthcoming, the problem of an over crowded physical plant must be met By eliminating some of the applicants By distorting the facts, newspaper men 6f the state led the citizens to believe without so much as a small motive or' a thought, about the -con ... . . - . . . sequences, that the university was contemplating curbing the registra tion of "out-of-state students by devi ous, dark! and sinister methods. Not so. It was casually stated that the first benefits "should i be given to native sons. What the University de sired was a means of checking up on the applicants from other states as closely as it does those of North Caro lina.- The mention of raising-the price of tuition to outsiders in proportion to the benefits derived was also men tioned. This proposed tuition increase is based on the theory that .outsiders do not deserve to receive equal bene fits of the - University along with North Carolinians at the sameprice when, as a rule the out-of-state stu dents' parents pay no taxes in North Carolina. This is a justifiable increase, the Tar Heel, believes. Now are we? the University of North Carolina headed for provin cialism? Examine the facts. Fif teen percent of the total student body of Carolina comes from other states and countries than Norths Carolina Not a mean percentage when the lo cation" -of the University and other conditions are considered. The out siders receive the same care and keep ing, derive the same benefits, and have the same opportunities that North Carolinians enjoy and possess in pur suing an education here at the Uni versity. . Finally, would it smack too much of jingoism to recall that; famous homespun aphorism about the beaten path and the best mouse-trap which Mr. Emerson gets the credit for giv ing to the world?

" PLEASE GET US STRAIGHT In the open forum column of this issue will be found a letter from a "citizen of the state who decries the Tar Heel's movement to attempt to arouse interest in national politics on the campus. The personal reference to Associ ate-Editor David Carroll we excuse without resorting to the too frequent play of puerility wherein the times and customs are asked if there be no freedom and tolerance in this great liberty-loving republic. The activities of the Tar Heel, in sponsoring movements to aid in dis cussions, bringing speakers of nation al note here to make addresses, and other things to attract and gain the interest; of the student body in ques tions that wilf be projected forcibly for a year or more before the Ameri can republic, have been inspired by the no less prosaic, yet commendable (if we may be allowed to say such), de sire than to inform and educate the Carolina student body in a vitally im portant subject.

WHAT'S HAPPENING " - Standardized Study State daily papers and our own re liable tri-weekly are discussing the advisability of having a textbook com mission to select all books to be stu died at college.

Wright Debate MedaL This prize was taken by Bryce Park er of the Di last year and J. Winf ield Crew of the Phi the preceding year. In this debate, the Di will defend the affirmative of the question, and the Phi will assail the subject from the negative viewpoint. V A New Wail Coach Fetzer is decrying the lack of interest among students in ath letics. Surely this is. an entirely novel note in university complaints! For years it has been the habit of serious professors to 'decry that over whelming interest in athletics . which outweighed ery other interest on the campus and seemd to them es pecially detrimental to the pursuit of study. But now comes this complaint from the other side. . Does it indi eate that students are neglecting ath letics in order to apply themselves more intently to academic work? Or does it merely. show a waning inter est in any forms of activity? Which Is Which? - , The , loyal Democrats of the cam pus are to meet tonight in Gerrard Hall "to form a society, on the cam pus for. the furtherance of the prin ciples and the purposes of the Demo cratic party.". Soon, we suppose the Republicans will follow suit and organize their little party "for Ihe furtherance of the principles and pur poses of the Republican party." Prob ably the chief obstacle they will en counter will be trying to ascertain the difference between the two par ties! " . Show Us How .

Anyone who has been m Chapel Hill for a few months would gladly learn how to escape from the frequent and soaking "barrels of wa ter" that pour down so regularly from the sky upon this particular locality OPEN FORUM Editor of Tar Heel: I see in the morning paper where one David ' Carroll has an idea of starting national politics to humming up there. And o as a citizen of the commonwealth I want to take issue with this plan. Because it is noth ing else but a low-slung attempt to get the Pope of Rome in our White House. - - Who is this young man who starts this scheme ? I wish to point out that his very name in Catholic to the bone. Any school boy knows that Carroll is an Irish name, and the signer of our precious Declaration of Independ ence was a notorious Catholic. Now I have the heartiest respect for some Catholics. Perhaps this young man is all right. But I 'don't think they ought to get in political power. They ought to not want to destroy the American principles which have al ways admitted only Protestants to public power. Now if you young men start this politics business, be sure to. look out for a nigger in the woodpile. Some body is sure to try to put that Yankee, Alvin E. Smith, in the White House. And I am telling you that we cannot listen to such "foolishness. Catholics by themselves, are - all,- right, says Smith, but Catholics and politics don't mix. I wish you would publish this in the same paper which carries those politics ideas and give it just as much space. . 7 BUXLEY WILLIAMS. Aberdeen, N.
