" President Frank Porter Gra . ham's consolidated budget re quest for the University- of North Carolina for the biennium 1935-1937 is given prominence in the issue. University's Needs "The University of North Carolina," states President Gra ham, "in its combined units is .asking for an increase in total operating funds of 24.9 per cent for the first year of the bien nium, and an increase of 26.4 per cent for the second year of the biennium." , Requested during 1935-36 for total requirements is $3,356,332. For 1936-37, the University asks $3,395,694. "This requested appropria tion is around one-half million dollars above the current appro priation, but is nearly one-half million dollars below the appro priation in 1928-29," states the University's president. , Salaries Compared The low salary scale of Uni versity professors and instruc tors is pointed out in a com parison of the wages paid edu cators here with the average in other institutions in the United States.

Assembly Conf emnlates Record: Month 0 No -o- Halfway Through Its Legally Provided Term,; State Legislature Still Faces Full Session's Work; Sales Tax and Liquor Measures Will Supply Abundance of Fireworks. Raleigh, Feb. 4. (UP) To night at 8 o'clock the North Carolina v General Assembly will set another record. It will enter the second month of its 1935 session with not a single piece of major legislation enacted. Theoretically, it will be just halfway through its legally accorded span of 60 days and, should it adjourn when the f ramers of the state constitution intended, it would have only 30 days more in which to dispose of an appalling mass of state wide bills. : Since the assembly convened January 9, it has received 337 bills and resolutions of all kinds, 125 in the senate and 213 in the house. Of the senate measures, 68 were statewide and 57 local. Mostly - Local Bills The upper house has passed seven resolutions, one statewide bill, and eight local bills under suspension of rules, and eight statewide bills and 16 local bills in the regular order. The house, in the same time, has passed 11 resolutions and 31 local bills under suspension of rules and 12 statewide bills and 34 local bills by the committee route. Senate committees ended the month with 41 statewide . bills and 26 local bills under consid eration. ' In the house, commit tees were studying 72 statewide and 37 local bills. The house killed 11 bills and resolutions, either in a committee or on the floor. Di Senate Should University stu dents be forced to purchase Chapel Hill auto licenses : this is the chief question which will confront the Sen ators of the Dialectic Lit- erary Society tonight at 7 o'clock in New West. The bill reads : Resolved, That students not having their home in Chapel Hill should not be required to buy Chapel Hill licenses. The measure, resolving that this country should have joined the World Court, will be also present ed for debate. Following the meeting, try-outs for the freshman debate will be held. REILLY CONTINUES FLINGING CHARGES Still Slaps Guilt upon Nursemaid And Fisch Gang. Flemington, N. J., Feb, 4. (UP) The Hauptmann defense continued today in building up the story that Violet Sharpe, Morrow nursemaid, did the in side work on the kidnaping, while Isidor Fisch and a gang co-operated on the outside. Mrs. Bonestell, restauranter, testified that Violet had met men in the Bonestell restaurant. Hans Kloppenburg, cabinet maker and friend of Haupt mann, testified that he saw Fisch give Hauptmann the cardboard box containing the money, and further said that he was at the Hauptmann home on the night the ransom was paid. Defense Attorney Reilly said he had 30 more witnesses. Major Enactment s Among - the measures which bridged the theoretical halfway gap in committee were the rev enue and appropriation bills, both before joint committees for hearings. In the case of the rev enue bill, its sales tax provision has brought the first real de bates of the session, some of it acrimonious enough to, please the most ardent lover of explo sive forensics. This committee concluded scheduled hearings on the money measure Friday and expects to have the bill on the floor this week. Sales Tax Uncertain That the real fight on the sales tax is being reserved until it reaches the floor has been in dicated repeatedly by tax op ponents both in the assembly and outside. A substitute for the sales levy, they say, , has been discovered, but they're holding it a deep, dark secret from the finance committee. The appropriation bill has had comparatively smooth sailing so far in committee, although few department heads have failed to ask sorne increase in funds. When hearings have been con cluded and the committee at tempts to reconcile its widely divergent views on a bill to be introduced on the. floor, the rea work of the body will begin. Liquor. Question ' The question of liquor legis lation will be brought to a head early this week when the bil (Continued on page two) NEXT PUBLIC BILL WILL BE ORIGINALS Tryouts for Three One-Act Plays Will Be Tomorrow.

Man Learns to Fly "One was associated with this state, although its authors were not North Carolinians: the demonstration of flight . in a heavier than air machine. "One, was the organization of the theory of relativity. And the last, the creation of an or ganization which so far has not accomplished the dreams of its founders, but which promises much for the future: the League of Nations." Dr. Henderson described his acquaintanceships with Albert Einstein, George Bernard Shaw, Orville Wright, and President and Mrs.1 Woodrow Wilson. In connection with early aero nautical experiments, he read a copy of the original letter which is in his possession, by John Steele, Salisbury, North Caro linian, who witnessed and de scribed the first balloon ascent in the United States.

Delegates Agreed "All of the reports expressed much the same thought," con tinued Russell ; "all reported the realized fact in all countries, that jess and less money is being spent on education, there is in creasing repression of the press and speech, and more and more money is being squandered for munitions. "Before the convention ended the delegates realized that the students all over the world must work together in a concerted drive against war. "We must view the situation with 'our eyes open," Russell concluded, "and . find out what brought on the last war and what existing forces may bring on another great war in the fu ture." ' ' .

RESULT OF TRIAL D0RM1T0RYPLAN PROTOSUCCESS Student Welfare Board Hears Report of Better Grades and Less Moving in Everett. DISCUSSES SUMMER TERM A report on the Everett dor mitory experiment ' and discus sion of the problem of extending summer school activities com prised the major part of the business before the Student Wel fare Board at its regular lunch eon meeting in Graham Me morial yesterday. The report on Everett dealt with the average grades of freshmen in the new "super vised' dormitory as compared with those of Lewis, Aycock, and Grimes ; and with the per centile rank, or preparedness for college work, of those freshmen. Grades Higher The grades showed little vari ance with the other dormitories. But when compared with Ever ett's ranking in preparedness for college work, they showed that the grades of Everett fresh men, most of whom entered the dormitory experiment because of the . study advantage it of fered, had. improved favorably. The check-up also revealed that Everett freshmen have not moved as often as the occupants of Lewis, Aycock, and Grimes. Only 10 per cent of Everett freshmen moved in fall quarter, as compared with 27 per cent in Lewis, 20 per cent in Aycock, and 20 per cent in Grimes. According to these statistics, therefore, Everett freshmen are twice as stable as those in the three dormitories named.
