United States would join the

"We should join the League,"

think we will, in a year or two,
cither on our own terms or on
Senator Pope's resolution which
is practically the same."

NEW BOOK SAYS
MORE LIBRARIES
NEEDED IN DIXIE
Miss Walker, Authoress, Pro
poses Regional Solution
The southern states are con
fronted with a serious lack of
library facilities, and the solu
tion apparently lies in the estab
lishment of regional libraries,
according to Miss Tommie Dora
Walker, whose book, "Libraries
of the South," has recently been
published. '
The book, a critical studv of
library conditions throughout 19
southern states, shows that the
South spends an average. of 23
cents per annum per capita for
the portion ocf the population
which has library service while
the average for the country is
59 cents. r
In spite of improvements re
corded during 1930 through
1935, the period covered lby the
report, two-thirds of the popu
lation of the' 13 states from West
Virginia to Texas is still -without
free library service. Rural
areas are generally without lib
rary service.

The spellbinders were Mac

by the relationship that Mac

Oppose Plan
The majority of the faculty
members who spoke at yester
day's meeting indicated clearly
that they were opposed to the
type of consolidation which the
University trustees adopted by
an overwhelming vote at their
meeting last June.
The consensus of those in dis
agreement with the action seem
ed to favor the retention of cer-
tain branches of engineering
here, with specific allocation of
functions, rather than a. return
to the status before the 1931 leg
islature passed the Consolidation
Act.
. "Misconception"
Several faculty members em
phatically told; President Gra
ham, who read a prepared state
ment and answered questions for
more than an hour, that they
thought he had a misconception
of the proper functions of an en
gineering school.
President Graham, in his pre
pared statement stressed the
point that his recommendations
to the trustees last June were
based on a careful study of the
entire consolidation plan over a
period of several years.
Plan Recommended
He said that representatives
of the faculty, and trustee com
mittee on consolidation and the
administrative council of the
Consolidated University, made
up of representatives of the
three units, had carefully con
sidered each phase of consolida
tion and that the consolidated
administrative council had rec
ommended to him by a decisive
vote the present plan.
Dr. Graham quoted a number
of nationally prominent educa
tors, including several members
of the out-of-state committee of
experts, who stated they felt it
would be a great bfunder to go
back to the status prior to -con
solidation.
Dr. Graham pointed out that
the present plan of consolidation
was arrived at on a basis of
sound working principles" fol
lowing several years of study
and research, conferences with
competent authorities, and free
and open discussions participat
ed m by faculty, students, trus
tees representing" all three insti
tutions. "Without sound working prin
ciples," he said. "consnlidatinTi
I becomes z, tug of war and a mat
ter of cross loyalties apart from
rather than a matter of co-operative
loyalties as a part of con
solidation, of institutional pres
sures and arbitrary power ra
ther than long run consideration
of the highest educational inter
ests of all the people of North
Carolina." '
