Candidate Graham Discusses
Problems Now Facing State
Lieutenant-Governor
Approves Sales Tax
Candidate For Democratic Gub
ernatorial Nomination Favors
County Control of Liquor
FAVORS IMPROVED ROADS
Discussing five problems
which now face North Carolina
.and offering his solutions to
them, Lieutenant-Governor A.
M. "Sandy" Graham, candidate
for the Democratic nomination
for governor, spoke last night in
Memorial hall under the spon
sorship of the Carolina Political
Union.
Stating an opposing view tc
that of , Candidate McDonald in
regard to the sales tax, Graham
said, "Finances in the state will
permit removal of the sales tax
only from meals in hotels and
restaurants and from necessities
of life." He declared that he
-did not believe more of the tax
could be removed if appropria
tions for the necessary functions
of government were continued;.
Prohibition
, Giving his opinion on prohib
ition, Graham affirmed that he
is in favor of a change of laws
to permit county - controlled
stores selling liquor if the ma
jority of the people in the coun
ty were in favor of the plan.
Graham declared that he is in
favor of adequate maintenance
of all roads and. better up-keep
t of secondary roads.-; In regard
to the educational system of
North Carolina, the lieutenant
governor blamedi the deficient
number 'of children who finish
high school on the inadequate
pay of the teachers who are so
worried over their financial
straits as to be unable to inspire
interest for education in youth.
U -A.u- ., -Labor:,-,.. ;;!.:.-;: J ,,
i .Referring to the labor, prob
c. Jem Graham, said, "We have to
: . submerge some individual liberty
for the good of the whole." He
estimated that the profits from
a controlled liquor business
would help to bear North Caro
lina's part in the social security
program.
During the open forum after
the speech, Graham was asked if
.appropriations for Swain hall
and a gymnasium at the Univer
sity were included in his educa
tional program. He answered,
"I favor a gymnasium but I
doubt if the legislature can ap
propriate enough funds for a
new building without the help
of alumni."

SENATORS DEBATE
FACULTY CONTROL
OF SPORTS SET-UP
Di Passes Bill Approving Faculty
Rather Than Alumni Control
Of Athletics
A lively session of the Di Sen
ate last night found "flaying
woras oemg driven irom one
t i t
senator to another as they de
bated the bill: "Resolved, That
the control of athletics should be
in the hands of the faculty rath
er than the alumni."
"It seems that alumni control
would bring about a college with
in a college with education in
second place," said President
Yeatman as he lighted the flame
for the discussion which follow
ed.
"We now have faculty control
and no coach," said Senator Coe-
field, who was in favor of fac
ulty control although he believ
ed that such things as conference
rules, choosing the coach and
athletes, and determining the
source of money should be of no
interest of the instructors.
The athletic bill was carried
by a large majority and the sen
ate continued to further plans
for the joint Di-Phi debate to
be held on April 28.
Before adjourning, the Di ap
proved the training course to be
conducted here next week for the
newly elected officers and the
senators also decided to take
part in - the conduction" of the
courses.
