HUTCHISON Toward Permanent Insomnia After a totally apathetic in terval of six years, the student body has at last awakened from a deep dream of peace. During this brief but disastrous leth argy, the stock of the Univer sity has descended with amaz ing rapidity from the high pin nacle of almost unchallenged supremacy of the glorious edu cational year of 1927. While the student body has. slumbered blissfully, the burden for main taining the prestige of this in stitution has bowed the heads of two presidents and worn the combined "administration and faculty to the breaking point. It is small wonder that the Legislature, seeking to wipe clean the debt slate of the state, has cut down on education. Though the importance of edu cation is readily admitted by our solons, and despite the fact that many of them are University graduates, the length of their post academic tenure removes the exigencies of Tiigher educa tion further and further from their scope. It is thus that an apparently, fabulous , sum of money requested to maintain a state institution of, higher edu cation appears ludicrous. In waging the battle for ap propriations, the president and faculty of the University have always succeeded in marshaling their forces like true veterans of the field. Yet in all this length of time, there has been no sin cere and spontaneous effort of the student body to come to the aid of the University; it seems that the student body has not realized the direct effect that "the paring of appropriations will have upori them individually. Perhaps today we are visual sizing a new era. It appears now that there is a concerted senti ment among the student body to enlist in the battle for the life of the University as the group most likely to suffer from any further curtailment of appropri ations. Many realize that a di ploma from an institution which continues to descend ovr a pe riod of ten years is worth lit tle or nothing a few years hence. They , realize that a slash in ap propriations would force the elimination of some- important component of the University, perhaps an entire -school or a number of departments. They are aware that further 'salary; cuts must ultimately drive forth what members of the faculty in high stations we now possess. Perhaps we have come to real ize that our present circum stance eclipses any single dep redation in the history of this institution. D.C.S. Things Are Picking Up It was a scene in "Heirs An gels." With all her decollette charms, Jean Harlow was try ing to entice the noble hero into tier arms. Apparently reluctant to leave her, he seemed about to turn away and yet was on the verge of going back. At the very height of this moment of delicious suspense, a calm, he- manly voice intruded upon the dramatic stillness, addressing it self to the hero on the screen: Courage, man!" The audience roared. . University student movre au diences are critical to the ex treme. Their standards are strict. They voice their disap proval with vehemence, their praise with enthusiasm. Although they cannot give their reasons, it is easy enough to tell what they like and what they do not ike. Strangely enough, their opinions usually coincide with those expressed in the best re views. But, as a rule, the students in the Carolina theatre carry their expression of approbation and condemnation to an unwonted extreme. Their exhibitions, usually beginning every after noon at 1:30, are the most ob jectionable displays of collegiate bad manners that this campus is subjected to seeing. The prac tice of booing, yelling, and wise cracking is a hangover from the old days in the Pickwick the atre, when students went to the movies at their own risk and women stayed at home. Noise and rowdiness were ob jectionable in the days of the silent films, but they are unpar donably rude during the per formance of a talkie. It is nat ural for a college community to take comedy or .facetious drama for what it is worth. Yet, it is difficult to understand how an intelligent audience could be so undiscriminating as the students in Chapel Hill have become. Boorishness has become a habit with them. No one objects to the booing of an incontestably rotten pic ture, nor to applause of a good one. But, when it gets to the point that no serious movie goer can ever enjoy a picture without impolite interruption a halt must be called. Motion pic tures,'' like all drama, attempt to create a mood for the audience. If this mood is once broken, en joyment of a picture is rarely possible. ' Theatre boors must be squelched. Some of the more serious movie-goers have lately gotten courage enough to hiss back at the hissers. And that is a good sign, we hope. E.C.D. . Rigor Mortis The announcement recently by David Clark that a bill would be introduced in the present session of the North Carolina General Assembly calling for the aban donment of the proposed plan of consolidation of the three state institutions of higher learning shows the growing impatience of the general public for the pro cedure of the consolidation com THE DAILY mittee, y The plan as originally present ed by advocates of the Greater University urged the complete unification of the three institu tions with a careful division of functions to prevent overlap ping. The whole idea and prin ciple of the consolidation was to be economy. It was proposed by its adherents that it would com bine departments in the vari ous branches and do away with the need of appropriations for duplicating "functions of the Uni versity. There was to be one central executive and one cen tral purchasing board for the three division. In a word, the three institutions would be one. With such a plan of consoli dation The Daily Tar Heel is heartily in accord, but as mat ters have proceeded we have Been seized by misgivings. In the issue of January 10 The Daily Tar Heel urged that un less some definite steps be taken the plan be dropped. Said the paper : "For this reason, therefore, it is only logical that in times such as these, if the proposed consoli dation as presented by the in vestigation committee ... is not carried out to its fullest extent, the idea had best be given up entirely until the sentiment of the public as well as the state's financial condition is more satis factory to the realization "of the proposal." The University and the state are in dire distress. The recom mendations of the budget com mittee to the legislature called for a curtailment of expenses tft an estimated reduction of $2, 000,000. Of this reduction the University must bear its share, a circumstance which this year seems to allow it but $390,000. Instead of an economy pro gram what have we ? Nothing has been done towards an actual, material consolidation. We have a Greater University in name only. None of the duplicating departments of the institutions have been combined or abolished. We have only a president, a cir cumstance which, should Dr, Wilson leave Chicago and the consolidation be abandoned, bids fair to leave either him or Dr. Graham out of a job. The. need for some form of concerted action is urgent. If the University is to meet the situation witlr-a program of rig id economy it calls for the lay ing aside of petty prejudices and jealousies. For the moment we must do without red-tape and useless technicalities. Instead of going forward we are "going backward. If we cannot ap proach the matter sanely and soundly, let us wipe the sheet clean and let the Greater Univer-r sity die a natural death. V.C.R.

TAR HEEL Autopsy By Robert Berryman CLIP THE COUPON! Did you know that you can "step into a well-paid hotel job?" No? Well, all you have to do is clip the coupon. "Many earn $1,800 to 5,000 a year." With the many lucrative jobs at our scissors' ends, there is really no reason we should not all be as rich as kings. Do you know that "you, too, can learn to write!" It's easy. Just write the "Newspaper In stitute of America" and it will send you (without obligation) a "writing aptitude test." If y6u pass this test (no one has ever been known to fail) you are fair on the road to big profits in the "writing game." If you are a woman, perhaps you will be interested in how Mrs. Brown "made up for John's shrunken pay check." Poor old John ! He was "only making a bare living" and "working at top speed, too." When "they cut his piece rate," he didn't know what to do. He "fears it will be impossible to make both ends meet." Mrs. Brown knew what to do. - She "idly fingered thru the pages of a magazine and saw an advertisement telling how women at home were making $15.00 to $50.00 a week." She clipped the coupon, and soon hers and John's worries were over. "You can do the same !" Simply buy a pair of scissors and cut your way to easy street. "Good dancers are always popular sure of a good time wherever they go!" Do, you "create a favorable impression, have ease of manner, a pleasing assurance that. wins?" If you don't, it's probably because you don't dance. "Good dancers are good mixers." Clip the coupon! All of Bill's friends, want to know if he's "been on a vaca tion?" With a smile, he assures them that he hasn't even left town. The reason he's "gained six pounds in a week" and "feels like a new man" is because he has given up "the dreadful nar cotic habit," or, in other words, smoking. A harmless drug does it. All correspondence is strict ly confidential. You can "make real money in commercial photography." No this is not a 'counterfeiting scheme. The picture shows a well-fed and beaming photog rapher taking a picture of a young, almost nude, lady. You can do the same if you are a photographer.- "Salaries are good, opportunities plentiful. Skilled operators are needed everywhere!" Particulars are free. And, best of all, "no sales man will call on you !" Do you want "a marriage that will remain a'lasting honeymoon a love life that will grow more complete with the years, unfet tered by doubts and fears ?" Well, you can have it. At last the publishers Have persuaded the censors that their book, which "fearlessly tell you every thing you should know about your desires wipes out all the dirty sentiment and misinforma tion and reveals sex and love for what they REALLY are" should be "available to all." At one time, only doctors could secure the book, and it cost them $7.50. Now, because of the generosity of a public-minded publisher, and a slightly less expensive binding, the same book, mind you, can be had for only $2.98 and a few cents postage. Clip the coupon! A woman, says a western so ciological group, should not marry a man until she is sure she is his mate, or at least, we venture to add, until she is sure she's a match for him. Boston Herald. ' Contemporaries Say, My Name's Long! "I says to him, 'this is the King fish and then I said 'I want a post office.' "He said to me 'I think you have a fair chance of getting it if you are right.' Well, I'm al ways right." Good 01 Huey . That's the way, Huey, old boy. Show 'em the stuff you're made out o'. Give it to 'em right from the shoulder--you're the King fish. ' You don't wanta take nothin' from nobody. You can't never tell when they'll try an' get yo-all in a jam. You're it. An' if Roosevelt hadda sassed you, you shoulda upped and told him he was only President-elect of the United States and you were Huey. That woulda slayed him. An when it comes to those doggone senators up there at Washin'ton why, you've put them in their places. They're all a-scared of ya. Think of it. You're only thir ty-four and ya come up there an' told those old boys where ta get off at. They don't know nothin', Huey, not a thing. You know it all. ' Why, sure we think you've got the stuff in ya, Kingfish. sure we do. Only don't let 'em bluff ya out. . An' lissen, Huey, oP boy, oF boy. When they start pullin' that old stuff like love of country and squawk about not gettin' no wheres in this relief business an' helpin' the hungry widders and childern, all you have to do is hop right onto yer ol' feet and let em have it, Huey, let 'em have it.
