PARAGRAPHICS Dale Ranson's Brooklyn telegram read: McRAE PULLED TENDON WEDNESDAY STARTED RACE TONIGHT AND HAD TO DROP OUT RETURNING SUNDAY. What was it, a marathon? j From a look at Person hall, we'd suggest they close it up before they formally open it. i Local expectations: maybe Coney Island's devil-ride will buy the Carolina Coach Com pany's buses. The Rude Awakening: The only kick we hare coming about the sum mary buccaneering of the Division of Water Re sources and its spiriting away to Raleigh s is that no letter of marque or reprisal attended .the aforesaid act. Which is to say that occur ring as it did during the holidays, without a chance of being subject to the approval or dis approval of the officials with whom it was so in timately connected, it represents an unwarrant ed removal of a ten-year-old institution, founded on this campus and in many respects a part of it. Yet we are glad it happened. The loss of this division is infinitely less than would be the loss of the engineering school. But that is exactly what is going to happen if the administration persists in its sleepy' policy .of presuming that "virtue is on our side and we will win out" and letting Chapel Hill be bull dozed out -of its engineering school. It's being done; the legislature is primed to accept the superficial arguments that in the interest of consolidation thet engineering school belongs , in Raleigh. Mrs. G. L. Donnelly, secretary of the division, knew nothing about the moving day until it was in progress; State Geologist H. G. Bryson re turned from a trip to the western part of the state to find the division gone; and members of the engineering faculty witnessed only two .truckloads of office equipment as their informa tion that the division had quietly scrammed. And one fine morning we may wake ud to find the engineering school, too, has been spirited away. Who knows? Academic x Question The jury f or the trial of Bruno Hauptmann, .charged with the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby, may or may not provide an inkling as to the emotional appeals that will be set forth in an attempt to secure his conviction on an indict ment of first degree murder. Sensational as it is already, there is reason enough to believe that the trial, before it reaches the jury, will have made history in the way it will arouse the universal sentiment of the mothers and fathers of children. , Of the 12 men and women who will decide the fate of Hauptmann, it is interesting to note that only three have no children. Of the nine others, one woman has an adopted child, another two step-children. Supposing a hypothetical lack of State's evidence in the theoretical not-guilty scale of .abstract justice, could it be possible that parental love would sway the jury to send j Bruno Hauptmann to a murderer's death? Roads-vs. People? ; O ;-Ji - . . if .. - ; - . ? Whether it is merely the limelight of publicity or the more searching light of truth, the illumi nation that has been cast upon the 1935 general assembly, which meets next Wednesday, offers an absorbing chiaroscuro of issues. As a legis lature, it will consider among other ; things unemployment insurance, child labor amend ment, state drivers' license law, absentee bal lot law, and further sales tax legislation. But topping all else will be the financial issues, which hitherto have attracted mOre controversy, we daresay, than any of the foregoing with the possible exception of 'the sales tax. Unfairly or not, from recent comments it would seem that the disposition of the highway surplus has sur mounted even the consideration of more vital legislation in importance. . Latest of the trends in this direction is the foreword to the assembly of Capus Waynick, re cently appointed chairman of the highway com missiohv The chairman, if his picture of the needs of the highway, commission is considered, paints a doleful portrait of the state of North Carolina roads and bridges. That perhaps is true enough, but it is also a strange contrast, not especially since it comes from Mr. Waynick himself who naturally enough is pulling for the home team from his position as head of -North Carolina's road system, but because no other state official has set forth in such graphic style from such a peak of eminence the condition of the state's school system. . We believe with all sincerity that the state has the utmost right in its pride in our roads to wish to protect that investment which makes them possible. But there is also such a thing as making Roads overshadow People the people of the state, both present and future. An of t re iterated argument, which does not make it any less applicable here, is that material prosperity is not everything, that an investment in the con crete good is no more valuable than one in the intangible betterment. Education certainly comes under the head of this latter investment. As Dr. Frank Graham remarked before the advisory budget commission, it is the "barometer of the commonwealth." It is, in other words, themea- sure of our citizenry. There will undoubtedly be an even bigger fight over the disposition of the highway surplus than is indicated from the opening gun as sounded by Chairman Waynick. While this is not to make suggestion as to what part, if any, ought by nature and right and equity to go to the schools; our demand is that they be given the equal pro tection of the state's finances along with such a spending department as the highway commis sion. If the case resolves itself into one of Itoads vs. The People, the general assembly, as judge and jury, should see that its duty lies toward the latter. Truth and The Press Giant headlines in the various newspapers throughout the nation have been hinting strong ly of impending war in Europe. This practice has been prevalent for the past several weeks all over the United States, yet peculiarly no really serious trouble has resulted from the sup posed critical controversies. According to the syndicated news reports, Russia was due to have a gigantic war with Japan some weeks ago; Germany and France are supposed to be on each other's neck in the Saar territory, 5playing to an audience including Mussolini, John Bull, and various other powers who are presumably hanging around in anticipa tion of a chance to assist their favorite side All in all, the newspapers have painted a very black landscape on the European canvas and thrust it before the American reading public as authentic. x Dr. W. H. Wannamaker, dean of students at Duke University, has only recently . returned from a trip to Germany and surrounding coun tries with the expressed opinion that "the news papers in this and other countries are greatly distorting the news about Germany and Hitler just to make hot news." We are more (than inclined to agree with the Duke dean in regard to this matter because had one-third of the stuff printed alongthis line been well founded, Europe would have been a raging inferno long before this time. Generally speaking, the residents of these United States are sadly ignorant of tlie true condition of af fairs prevalent in the East today; we have only newspapers and magazines as a source of in formation upon such matters, and much too often these accounts are biased or false. It is a generally accepted fact that the Ameri can is a person whose emotions are highly sus ceptible to colorful propaganda ; his opinions are. as a rule, easily and definitely formed at an in stant's notice; reasons are insignificant to him. Because of these facts, our tabloids should be more careful about their statements of facts and the conclusions which they draw ; serious results mierht involving such vital problems as are rife today ' Casual Correspondent by Nelson Lansdale OUR. HOPE FOR YEARS TO COME . We happened to be wander ing around in a large Baltimore department store a few days be fore Christmas, riding up and down on the escalators, which make us feel like Fred Astaire looks when he dances, and watching the crowds of last minute shoppers. We inevit ably ended up in the book de partment, where the first thing to. greet our eyes was a huge table piled high with books like "Can Prayer Be Answered?," "God In This Modern World," and the quaint little edition of Dickens' "Life Of Our Lord. Oh the very top of the heap, near the sign, "Religious Books," was the beautiful two volume edition of Galsworthy's "The Forsyte Saga" and "The End of the. Chapter." . . ; fish; story William Beebe, famed for his underseas exploration, is the hero of a story Carl Thompson swears is true. It seems that Mr. Beebe was in a hurry to catch a train after he'd deliver ed a lecture, when some mem ber of his audience asked Mr. Beebe to perform a post-mortem on a . goldfish of which the stranger had been very fond. Beebe explained his hurry, wrapped the goldfish in his handkerchief, and hurried off to catch the train, promising to mail the analysis "to the owner of the goldfish. Trotting hurriedly to the sta tion, the famous explorer sneezed, and pulled out his hand kerchief. The poor little gold fish fell out on the pavement in the snow, and disappeared from sight. Remembering, Beebe got down on his hands and knees and started, looking for the fish in the snow when a policeman came up. "Whatcha doin buddy?" he asked. t "Looking for my goldfish," re plied Mr. Beebe. "Lissen here, buddy," said the cop kindly, "you better come along down to the station with me and getta cuppa coffee." This the explorer refused to do. Instead he explained that he was in a hurry to catch his train, and asked for help in lo eating the missing fish, Decid ing to humor the lunatic until he should have the opportunity to nab him, the cop bent over in the snow and half-heartedly started looking for the fish. Suddenly his hand closed over something cold and clammy it was our dead fish. "Say, buddy," said the law, looking piteously at Mr. Beebe, "maybe you'd better take me down to the station and get me a cuppa coffee." FASHION PLATES We don't know that it's sig nificant of anything in particu lar, but the automobile license tags for nearly every state on the South Atlantic seaboard look pretty much alike this year. North Carolina and New Jersey are identical, with silver on black, Maryland, black on white, is practically undistinguishable from the green on white of the District of Columbia, and the dark blue on white of Virginia. To Clap the climax, the Iodine state, our little neighbor to the south has black on white and white on black, the one half year, the other full. ALUMNI NOTE ' Stuck into a Washington the atre program during the holi days we found an illustrated an nouncement of a recital by Ted Shawn and his Men Dancers, ; COMER OUTLINES r PLAN OF EVENTS (Continued from page one) tin, and Bill Jordan were ap pointed as a special group to meet wifa Jack Pool and discuss plans for a deputation team composed entirely of freshmen. Bob McGill, Bob Baker, and David Thorpe will serve as pro gram committee , for the quar ter, and Drew Martin, Giles Winstead, Bill MacDonald, and Bob McGill volunteered to meet with the News Boys' Club of Durham and act as advisers.

A social committee was ap pointed to plan for a social and report at the next meeting. The tea tasters are Gene Simmons, Howard IJussey, and Tom Bass. Support Of Schools Does Not Need Road Funds (Continued from page one) than automobile taxes can be found and should be found to give all essential public servants a living wage, and it would be unwise to wreck a well-organized plan" for financing road building and maintenance either as a permanent policy or to evade an issue respecting gen eral taxation of the people." He did hot go into details about the "other sources" of revenue. Waynick emphasized the char acter of the highway system as a public utility and said that the commission is not through with building roads. Begin Preparation For Student-Faculty Day (Continued from page one) after which open house will be tendered by all campus frater nities and dormitories for all faculty members. In the evening, tentative en tertainment has been planned featuring the music department and the Carolina Playmakers, in the form of skits, concert ef fects, and other stage entertain ment. J. D. Winslow heads the student-faculty committee and the evening's entertainment, with Albert Ellis assisting. Phil Hammer will have charge of all publicity. More minute plans will be re leased later. The exhibits will include various features of each department, showing the work. progress, and scope of each.
