Tuesday, May 17, 1932 Gubernatorial Sacrifice V An article appeared in the Greensboro News of Saturday which stated that the salary of the governor of this state would beiChanged from $6,500.00 to $10,500.00 after December, 1932. TKe results of' this change can beivery far reaching. As every one only too well knows, busi ness is stagnant throughout the country, but yet, it is seen fit to raise the salary of the governor, th$ one person who should do all within his power to order to economize and have money for the state. The eminent Governor Gard ner has apparently endured the period of governorship under the present salary and it there fore seems that any other gov ernor should be able to do like wise. Instead of giving this in crease in salary to the governor, would not it be vastly better to donate it to some institution of learning that is in. sad need of such assistance from the state government? The University of North Carolina, depending heavily upbn the state for its mainten ance, has suffered numerous cuts in 'its budget, but still manages ' to 'go on. It seems more approp riate to give this added $4,000.00 to jthe University so as to assist in Educating the youth of this state. Perhaps someone will de cide, before it is too late, to amend this and thereby help the people of the state, if not the University, and still do no harm to the governor. The most-notable example of a ruler who has slashed his sal ary in order to assist in the new economy budget proposed by his government is the present Eng land's monarch, George V. He, just recently, took an enormous cut in his salary which will as sist the finances of his country exceedingly. And since other officials have done so, and since Governor Gardner himself has i been more than able to run the affairs of this state on the salary of $6,500.00, why is it necessary to raise the salary of the gov ernor to $10,500.00? E. J. Let us transfer ourselves mentally to the environs of a small homestead in southwest ern Tennessee. The house is of frame construction and unpaint- ed. Four rooms and a wide un heated hall are the extent of the living quarters. Giant trees cluster around the home as if to offer protection from the ill will of any brooding gods. A child lives here, just old enough to take his first tottering steps He is dark haired and dimpled. One night the father is delayed in town. About eight o'clock the mother goes out to draw some water from the well. She re turns heavily laden. The baby is not where she left it. She looks quickly around. She calls. She rushes out of the room. The house is empty except for her self. Her husband returnsand they institute a frantic search Toward morning some of the neighbors whom join the search. The baby is gone, two sympathetic down. Grieving motherhood is bowed alone in silent anguish. Let us now go northeast and stop close to another house. Tt is in the hills of New Jersey. The house is large. There are no trees. A child lives here also, one with blond curly hair. One night his nurse leaves him for a few minutes. She returns. The baby is not in his crib. She looks around calls. She runs to the mother. The father is called. They institute a frantic search. In a short time the whole world is aware that the babv is crone. The entire coun- try joins in the - search. It is useless. In a week or two the bulletins noting the progress of the search are removed from the headlines. Grieving mother hood is bowed in silent anguish, but not alone. - Was the second baby a prince? No. Was, he a future citizen of our democracy? Yes.

Ted Babbitt of Zenith, Ohio; flew his own Packard plane when he visited Brent Dods- worth (Sam's son) at his Long Island home in the summer of 1942. Babbitt averaged a hun dred and eighty miles an hour on the trip. This (an article by Henry Hazlitt in the current Scribner's) should be of in terest not only to acquaintances of the now famous Babbitt fam ily but to anyone with .an inquir ing mmcTwho wonders what this modern civilization we have builded up holds for mere mor tals. The article is a forecast of the future : economic, politi cal, and social. A Study In Democracy An allegory can be defined as a figurative representation to demonstrate and emphasize a point. If it is permissable in these columns let us allegorize briefly. . The Forum Takes a New Lease on Life The most democratic and most representative organization with in the student body will meet tonight. After several weeks of inactivity, the Union Forum will convene in Graham Memorial to continue its discussion of the honor system. Last fall the Union Forum was conceived as a medium for se curing expressions of opinion representative of the whole stu dent body. Every dormitory and fraternity was asked to send a delegate to the Forum. The idea was a good one. At first, great interest was shown in the Forum discussions. But lately, attendance at its meet ings has dropped almost to the point of extinction. Undeniably, the Union Forum presents a true cross-section of the campus mind. It has no membership qualifications. In addition to the students regularly invited, any one is welcome to attend its ses sions. - -For several years the Student Activities committee has func tioned as a clearing house for faculty-student opinion on pro jects for the campus welfare. Every , piece of important cam pus legislation in the last three years has been previewed with considerable advantage by this group. The Union Forum has oppor tunities and advantages for even more effective work than does the Activities Committee: The Union Forum is more represent ative. Its membership is more sensitive to the demands of its constituency. Through close contact with the student body, the Forum can mold and direct campus thought. Up until now, the" Forum has confined itself to. discussion alone. If it is to make full use of its potentialities, it must be given actual educational work to do. Definite responsibility puts steel in any man's spine. E.C.D. The "ever-changing" skyline of New York has ceased chang ing, for irJL939 a measure was adopted limiting the height of new buildings to twenty stories. Brent lives in a standardized home put out (and up) by the General Homes Corporation for $6,495 f. o. b. Detroit. The gov ernment took over the railroads in 1935, but the passenger busi ness is being dissipated rapidly by the competition afforded by the airplane lines. The Repub lican-Democratic party, merged when they recognized that there was no essential differences be tween the two parties and us ually referred to as the Repub lican party, managed to elect a President in 1940, but the ever- increasing Communists are con fident of victory in the presiden tial campaign of 1944. The de pression was fairly well over by 1934, and as Ted and Brent set tled down in their easy chairs to discuss the simple and quiet times of ten years ago, they ex press their belief that prohibi tion will be repealed within two years. For quite some time current comments on things new and different have centered around the North Carolina Symphony Society. It is a pretentious title suggestive of organization and events of magnitude in the world of music. It undertakes to pre dict that the future holds much that is worth while in the field of symphonic music along lines to be developed within the state. At the outset, the Society an nounced a campaign to unite music lovers over the state to form a charter membership list which, hopefully, would repre sent several thousands of peo ple. Although but recently in augurated the campaign has al ready borne fruit. Daily the names of interested people, to gether with their one dollar membership fee, have been re ceived by Felix Grisette, the secretary-treasurer. Organiza tions in certain towns and cities throughout the state have taken constituted the program in full. As introduced by Colonel Pratt during the intermission, Her bert Hazelman's novelty com posed last fall, known as the Danse Moronique was perform ed in emphasis of the plan to "produce it in Carolina." To expand critically on the program would be non-apropo here. Suffice it to say that the concert brought pleasure and satisfaction in no small measure to the large gathering of people who came from all all over the state. To have been able to as semble the musicians, rehearse and perform so creditably the standard works which made up the program was in itself a re markable accomplishment. The effort in coming to Chapel Hill from cities as distant as Ashe ville and Wilmington was great. To have made the effort with such willingness reflects an en thusiasm for the plan which is most gratifying to the board and Tuesday, May 17, 1932 for all forms of medical atten tion. up the plan with an enthusiasm to all who are interested in the tli at.

It's Worth Knowing 'That- iii a similar vein one better inted with conditions lo cally might visualize the Univer sity of the future : Attendance upon classes will become optional, thereby indue ing professors to be more inter esting or else face the conse quencesrow upon row of vac ant seats. The consolidation of the state's three largest institu tions of higher learning will be affected with but little academic discord, for most of the "dead wWl" will remain. With the passing of the depression, salar ies will return to normal" and the library will buy some new j books. The campus will become more beautiful with each pass ing year, and ceremonies under Davie poplar will become more popular Organizations and clubs as such will decrease in number, but students belonging to the remaining groups will be motivated by a loftier purpose than mere membership in an other club. Athletics will be on a professional basis, and ath letes will admit it. The Daily Tar Heel will feature world news (AP) dispatches, and will condense all local happenings to calendar form on the back page. The German club will still be under fire, and the trend of pub lic opinion will indicate that something is to be done about the honor system in the immediate future.

Pratt of this city as chairman of the executive board the foundation of a permanent so ciety has been progressing. In order to determine, at least in a preliminary manner, tne available talent along lines of a symphony orchestra, the State was : canvassed with the result i that there assembled in Chapel Hill on Thursday of last week some nity musicians. This en semble, under the direction of Lamar Stringfield, appointed as director of the first concert, by the executive board, prepared and played a concert in Hill Music hall on Saturday nisrht that was from many points of view illuminating to music fol lowers oi the south. The or chestra brought together former musicians of symphony orches tra experience, and the "cream of the crop" of high school fid dlers and tooters. A number of faculty and student musicians from the University contributed their services. The results re vealed that given timie to de- velop the latent forces of the commonwealth under authorati tive and inspirational leadership a symphony orchestra of un questioned performing ability can be created. -The plan to build the permanent organiza tion around a certain number of professional musicians adds merit to the future of it. The public has been informed, by suggestion, what is in store for it in the event the plan reaches full fruition. Just how great the contribution to the ar tistic life of this state a per manent symphony orchestra could be is food for stimulating thought. Other things being equal, North Carolina as a state is looking towards having as its own, what all the leading cities of the land feel they can not exist without, a symphony orchestra. May the power of the effort grow from strength to strength! To Colonel Pratt and the board, "Strength to your arm!" The concert Saturday night opened with Wagneris Rienze Overture.
