Mascot Like all outfits, the Chapel Hill fire department has a mas cot. For those who go to the fires, and it seems that most of the town turns out when the alarm sounds, the sight of" a white bulldog riding atop the fire engine is familiar. The dog has never had any name, but is widely known by the vague but appropriate appellation of "White Dog." At the first twinkle of the . telephone White Dog is on her feet and ready to leap upon the truck and ride yelping to the fire. According to Partin," White Dog has a very mild temper ex cept at the scene of the fire.

(UP) Predictions yesterday that the wily Defense Gounsel Edward J. Reilly had "just one more witness" were . smashed when the attorney brought for ward almost a dozen men today. Walter Manley took the stand today and was the fifth man to swear that he saw Hauptmann in Fredericksen's Bakery on the night of the kidnaping. - Among the several other wit nesses that came forward were three Sourland Mountain resi dents who testified that Millard Whited, state witness, had a poor reputation for veracity. Delegation SAYS UNIVERSITY IN DIRE NEED OF 25 PERCENT RISE Pleads That Faculty Salary Cuts Must Be Restored Partially to Uphold U. N. C.'s Position. TALKS BEFORE COMMITTEE Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 7. (UP) -Weary but sympathetic, the joint appropriations committee of the General Assembly today learned that for lack of proper funds, the University system of North Carolina is in danger of slipping f roin the high place it has gained in educational circles. Headed by President Frank P. Graham, a delegation from the University painted a picture of impending disaster and asked for an increase in - appropria tions of 25 per cent, not as its right but as pure necessity. Salary Restorations To make up a total operating fund of $3,356,332 for the fiscal year 1935-36 and $3,395,694 for 1936-37, the delegation asked an increase over the budget esti mate of $545,438 the first year; and $553,548 the second. Of these increases, $389,804 for each year was requested to make partial restoration of salary cuts totalling 32 per cent The balance, aided by the University system's own income, would be used for returning fac ulty members now. , on leave without pay, placing present personnel on 12-months basis, promotions, added extension ser vice staff, added summer school staff, and to fill vacancies. The committee listened close ly as Dr. Graham told of hard ships imposed upon faculty members by salary cuts and traced their effect on the value and prestige of the University. "When the last budget was re ported out of committee," he said, "a man who is very close to the University told me This will junk the whole system.' But that has not been true. "During the last two years, the University was saved by the faculty. Now we ask you to save the faculty." Beginning to Slip John Hinsdale told the com mittee that the University .of North Carolina was once the greatest in the South and was "on its way to become the great est in the United States, but it is now beginning to slip because of lack of money." -, . W. C. Woodward, a former member of the appropriations committee declared: "What the University of North Carolina will be in the next two years will be just what you write in its budget" "The University now is like a man who has been wearing the same suit of clothes for five years," said Irving Tucker, a member of the board of trustees. "It has an accumulation of defi cits and short appropriations that must be disposed of at once. "Its professors have hung on because of their faith in the University, but they aren't go ing to listen to the story of hope much longer." s.' "It is in the hands of the col leges of the South to revolution ize the civilization of the world," Dr. Graham said, leaning forT ward and wagging a finger by way of emphasis.
