week-end for lots
of us. If you find some of the
columns upside down in the
newspaper, don't blame us. The
paper will be edited between
dashes to dances and pounces to
parties and favors to females.
Dance week-ends are really
.and truly as much a Carolina tra
dition as the Davie poplar. They
-ten us that out in the state peo
ple think Carolina activities are
nothing but week-ends, but that
as false. Week-ends have their
place in our schedule and dances J
lave first place on the week
ends. But we do other things
"besides celebrate. That's why
"we're the best university in the
south.
Dr. E.W. Knight
scored the present
system of complete
XOCAL
SUPPORT
estate control of public schools
hecause he says equality in edu
cation cannot be fully provided
hy the present system. "No
democratic country or state has
ever succeeded in high educa
tional centralization," is what
"the newspapers credited him
with saying.
We wonder, as interested
dilettantes, why North Carolina
could be condemned on this
basis. The burden of public
schools rests as plainly now on
the local units as on the central
estate control, insofar as local
xmits have the power and duty
"to .vote supplements in support
of their schools.
In 1929 North Carolina taxed
itself sufficiently to raise an av
erage of $33.00 per pupil for cur
Tent school operation. For the
present school year, the total sum
Taised from both local and state
sources will average less than
321.00 per pupil enrolled. The
state can't recapture the differ
ence any better than the local
mit. It seems logical that the
"burden would still be as much
-the tetter's as the former's.
The lowered classroom morale
Is a local problem primarily and
it is the local unit's business to
see that its schools are sup
ported. The change to state
centralization should not have
the effect of centralizing educa
tion any more than in the mat
ter of county finances, which is
handled by the Local Govern
ment Commission. It can't be
said that in the latter case the
responsibility was shifted alto
gether. And so it is in the
school situation.

That was what you call a polit

it wasn't very satisfying to gov

But the great mass of people
evidently like to hear such elo

MANNING TO STUDY
NEW ENGLISH PLAN
OF MEDICAL CARE
Former Medical Dean Favors
Socialized Hospitalization Ser
vice Used in London.
SAILS FOR BRITAIN SOON
Dr. Isaac H. Manning former
dean of the medical school, will
leave next week for England to
make a study of the voluntary
contributory hospital fund now
operating successfully in London.
This hospitalization system
has met with great success in
England, but has not yet gain
ed a strong foothold in the Unit
ed States.
The purpose of the plan is to
provide hospital service for all
those who are in need of it. Dr.
Manning has worked with un
tiring effort on this plan since
he was first inagurated as presi
dent of the State Medical So
ciety.
Neighboring Interest
"Neighboring states have al
ready shown an interest in the
project," says Dr. Manning,
"and it seems incumbent upon
us to set up a model plan not
only for adjacent states, but for
other states essentially like
North Carolina.
"We are very fortunate in
having the Duke Endowment
thoroughly in sympathy with
this movement. It has been very
generous in providing the funds
for the study of the English
system, and the inauguration of
the plan in the state. Without
this grant the attempt would
probably have been abandoned."
This is the first attempt to
conduct a group payment plan
on a state-wide basis to receive
the approval of the State Medi
cal Society.

Following the tea dance held
in the Tin Can yesterday after
noon at 4:30 the Junior-Senior

The dancers gave an enthu
siastic reception to Barney
Rapp and his New Englanders.
The Tin Can was colorfully
decorated in alternate strips of
green and white crepe paper
with young pines and a crystal
ball hung from the ceiling.

The rain in the late afternoon,
although it interferred some

University Sociologist Will Help
Start Sophomore Course at
Alabama College.
Dr. Lee M. Brooks of the
University sociology depart
ment has been invited by Ala
bama College at Montevallo,
Ala., to participate in the estab
lishment of a general course for
sophomores in contemporary
problems during the aeademic
year, 1935-36.

ceived his doctorate from the
University in 1928 and who, af
ter making a reputation for him
self in Alabama, was appointed
conciliator of labor last year by

Granted a year's leave of ab

Brooks will aid in an attempt to
treat current problems in a uni

Black Snakes Infest
Local Golf Course
Professor George Horner
likes to play golf, and he also
likes American literature; but
when black- snakes interfere
with his game," he prefers the
literature.
Thursday Professors Horner
and G. L. Paine took the after
noon off for a round of that aus
tere game. After several holes,
the bag weighed mighty heavi
ly on Professor Horner's shoul
ders; and he decided that some
thing was amiss.
In order to discover the
source, he emptied the contents
of the bag on a green, and out
wiggled a six-inch black snake
which had caused the undue
weight of the bag.
Horner left.
Not so with Professor Paine,
who Saint Patrickly drove the
vicious and terrifying reptile in
to the rough, which was not far
distant.

Editor of Textile Bulletin Will
Be Sponsored Here by Local
American Liberty League.
GROUP IS ANTI - SOCIALIST
Appearance Will Be of Interest
To Both Right and Left
Elements on Campus.
Charlotte's David Clark, edi
tor of the Textile Bulletin and
self-appointed leader of critics
of the University, will speak
here next Tuesday night under
the auspices of the American
Liberty League.
Clark's appearance here will
be an event to both conservative
and "radical" elements on the
campus. Whether favorably re
ceived or not Mr. Clark will be
assured a large gathering. '
The University chapter of the
Liberty League, chief exponent ,
of conservatism on the campus,
came into being two weeks ago
when a group of 25 students met
to pledge themselves to the creed
of this organization which
"stands for the defense of Amer
ican principles against fascism
and socialism."
No "Reds" Here
One of the chief purposes of
the group, as stated at this ini
tial meeting, is "to prove to
North Carolina and the nation
that this University is not a
Tiotbed of radicalism.' "
Also among the first . ideas
springing from this pioneer con
servatist movement here was to
bring Mr. Clark to the Univer
sity to speak in behalf of the or
ganization.
A telegram received yesterday
from league member Stuart
Rabb, who had gone to Char
