PHILLIPS SPEAKS ON EDUCATIONAL COSTSJ STATE School Superintendent Flays Fallacious Thinking at North . Carolina Club Meeting. There is at present a great deal of fallacious thinking about the cost of North Carolina s schools, due largely to the fact that many people of the state have not become fully acquaint ed with the true picture of edu cationj. Guy B. Phillips, superin tendent of the Greensboro city schools, stated Monday in an address to the North Carolina club. "The school people have noth iiriiri.fi ii isi- it in rz v ci v nil lit: lu - r - - - -- . . , . i n 11 n J am navm an me i acts pxe- sentea Ior experience nas snown time ana aam tnat nose Know ine irue iacLS auuuu uie schools are tnose most anxious i i i ji i J 1 ' to n1P xnem Sec a ue" I -r-k-i M1 ll J mps asserieu Pointing out a disposition on the part of some people to hold the schools responsible for pres ent troubles, Phillips cited fig uresf rom the report of the State Tax Commission. The speaker showed that during'l930-31 edu cational expenditures were re duced 19.8 per cent, while re ductions for other items were as follows : highway expenditures 6.1 per cent, state expenditures 4 per cent. Phillips stated that it was conservatively estimated that teachers in North Carolina are now due more than a million dollars in salaries dating back as far as four years. Phillips outlined a program pd tn rp-pstablish state schools. He believes that sup port for public education must be placed on a broader base, since the burden of taxation is being centered in too small a nwledere of the purpose of education must be come more common ; that the rrii'r nf a minimum State A. A llWl A s V. surjDort. with provision for lo cal supplement, must' be adhered to; and that the administrative iilu't ',vp nnWi'o education must yield to the demands of effi ciency. - - Co-ed Tea Today Lore Roval and Emma Ray will be the hostesses at the regular weekly tea at Spencer oftprnnon from 4:30 ii an Lino to 6-00 o'clock.

Freshmen Opposed To Gym Work Because 'It's Too Much Trouble1 Concensus of Opinions of Twenty First-Year Men Is That Required Physical Training Is Beneficial and Is Not Merely "De partmental Devilment,, Contrived by Faculty. o So loud and so protracted have j portant. The three classes that been freshman complaints to re quired gym work that it has long been the popular belief that the first year men regard it as one of the necessary evils ac companying a college education. However, when the freshmen themselves were questioned seri ously on the subject, the con census of opinion indicated that rather than as some department al devilment they, looked on phy sical training as a definite ser vice and aid to them. In a group of twenty freshmen, chosen at random, the majority view was distinctly for a continuance of the system. . t All of the first year men fav ored compulsory attendance, for they stated that if gym were npt required they would certainly not seek exercise voluntarily. Most of them agreed that the gym routine, taken at frequent intervals, was not only benefi cial, but necessary to insure physical well-being. The few who were opposed to required work off ered as their reason, the conventional, "It's too much trouble." Inconvenient Hours Apparently it is not gym it self which causes dissatisfaction among the freshmen but ' the hours at which the instruction is given.- It was claimed that the classes at 4:15 and ,4:40 o'clock break into the very cen ter of the afternoon, disrupting any business that might be im- Co-eds Break Down Old Theories As To Why They Enter University 0 Opinions Revealed in Investigation Show That Factors Ranging From Educational Advantages to Social Appeal Influence Girls Who Come to School to Carolina. The common belief that co-eds j come to Carolina to rdefy the male desire for a womanless University has been blasted. Nor do they come primarily to sit on front rows and wheedle high grades from professors or to make life uncomfortable for the men. That is assuming, of course, that the inhabitants of the "Shack" spoke with refresh ing candor in this investigation. A survey of the opinions volun teered reveals that the girls' choice is shaped by factors rang ing from 'the University's edu cational advantages to its ap peal from the social point of viewr ' Among North Carolina girls the liberality of the University as opposed to the stifling restric tions of girls' schools appeared to be the chief motivating force in their coming to Chapel Hill. It was noticeable that this idea was stressed particularly by the transfers from Saint Mary's School. It is obvious that an in stitution which permits consid erable personal freedom as to dating and other feminine inter ests 'will be more popular than those with iron-bound regula tions. Prefer University to Duke Several co-eds who are native North Carolinians but who at tended out-of-state schools for their first two years declared they cme back to meet the peo pie of their own state. All those in this category considered North Carolina girls' schools in are given at 5:15 o'clock, it was said, come too close to the din ner hour. A few of these men stated that the chapel period, from 10:30 to 11:00 o'clock, would be 4 a far more convenient time to take physical training. The gymnasium department stated that the main object of the course in physical education is "to attain the development of the physical attributes of every individual to the fullest extent." The exercises are planned scien tifically and are not meant to cause a man any physical fa tigue. Every voluntary muscle of the body is brought into play in the exercises here. Dr. R. B. Lawson, the physical director at the University, declared, "Gym work develops coordinated move ments of many muscles, and this coordination is necessary for anyone. The classes are planned to come at such a time that they will act upon the various glandu lar secretions of the body which act as an aid to digestion." Check-ups Made From time to time check-ups are made. Those men who have not cut for a period of six weeks are given a thorough re-examination. In most cases, it has been found that the physical condi tion of these men has improved. This fact, is evidenced by. great er chest expansion and larger muscular development. It is on these surveys that the depart ment bases its statements that the work is beneficial. f erion to those from which they came. lt was also their view that the University took precedence over Duke by virtue of its tra dition and its relative inexpen siveness. The reasons advanced by stu dents from out of the state were of a more serious nature than those of the North -Carolina girls. Many of them mentioned the national reputation of the University as an important fac tor in their selection. Those from large cities agreed that they were anxious to find a school with the same scholastic rating of northern universities combined with the advantages of a small town. In many cases, the wide fame of the Playmak ers attracted co-eds with dra matic aspirations. Attracted by Social Life However, one "non-native" voiced an opinipn inconsistent with the otherwise sober vein of her sisters. This representa tive of the middle west admitted that she had heard a great deal about the novel social hierarchy that the Carolina co-ed enjoyed. It had also come to her ears that the girls here offered less com petition than those in the schools familiar to her. Her mind was immediately made up. This was the ideal place to get her chance in life! Practically all who were in terviewed appeared extremely jealous of the appellation "Caro lina co-ed." The fact that the ( Continued on page two) County Meeting Set Representatives of Nine Counties Will Gather Tonight. Important group meetings of students from particular coun ties of the state taking place Monday and yesterday, will be continued tonight with students from New Hanover Ashe, Burke, Franklin, Jones, Graham, Durham. Gates, and Currituck counties gathering in a joint meeting in 214 Graham Me morial at 7 :00 o'clock. Haywood Weeks, president of the student body, who has charge of the gatherings, stated yesterday that the meetings were quite important, being concerned with the welfare of the University.

LIBRARY RECEIVES LOAN OF JACKSON RELIC COIXECTION Granddaughter of Confederate General Lends University Valuable Collection. The. University library has just received a loan from Mrs. E. R. Preston, Charlotte, of a collection of material relating to General Thomas J. (Stonewall) Jackson. Announcement of the loan wras made yesterday by Act ing Librarian R. B. Downs. Mrs. Preston is a grand daughter of the famous confederate general. The collection, according to library officials, is one of the most important yet received for , the southern collection, which the University library has been building for the past several years under ie direction of Dr. J. G. deRoulhac Hamilton. The new material is said to be of in estimable value. The loan, came to the library through the efforts of Mrs. Ly man A. Cotten, who is' working with the Friends of the Library, an organization formed last year to promote the interests of the library here. Historical Sources Included in the Jackson col lection are numerous letters both to and from Jackson relat-' ing to the Civil war. These let ters constitute valuable primary, historical sources. Other objects add great inter est to the collection. There are sixteen written articles, which include several photographs, of General Jackson, an autograph album with many 'famous names inscribed, eighty-eight photosta tic copies of military papers, personal military articles, a poem by Jackson, and several newspapers published during the Civil war. MURCHISON URGES READJUSTMENT OF ECONOMIC ORDER Economics Professor Suggests Liberal Foreign Policy in Greensboro Address. An upward re-adjustment of our economic machine as a means of recovery from the present depression was urged by Dr.'C. T. Murchison, professor of applied economics in the Uni versity school of commerce, in an address to the Greensboro Real Estate Board at Greens boro Monday. Continued "down ward re-adjustment" tends to ward "maladjustment," he de clared. Murph'son siicrcrpsfpri as an im- portant remedial measure a lib. eral foreign policy that will tend to stimulate foreign buying of American products. ' Through the development of machinery, he explained, Ameri cans have increased the com modities for which a market must be sought anH at the same time curtail the purhasing pow er. By forcing the commodity prices upward by inflation ob tained by deliberate overdraft through" the federal reserve banks, Murchison believes this condition can be almost wholly remedied. As another essential part of his recovery plan, Mur chison advocated "reduction in working hours." Such a reduc tion of wages, and other mani festations of downward adjustment.
