Arey, Jr. Sports: Frank Holeman BROWDER AND A . NEW COMMUNISM When Standard Bearer "Comrade" Earl Brow der rose to the platform Thursday night before a packed house of what he called "representative Americans," he made no proposals to overthrow the present capitalistic regime, nor did he wear a crop of tousled hair to fit him for the top of a soap-box; ' When an intelligent champion of Marxism mounts the platform to air his cause, any illusion that the communist movement is a slinking snake, always growing larger, plotting to plunge the world into a revolutionary chaos fades into its rightful background. Browder was on the plat form facing a scrutinous audience which demand ed sane, practical ideas. He met their demand. In a short rehash of the history of Communism in the United States he pointed out a political technique fhat characterizes a new communism: no longer are the Comrades meeting in dark al leys to plot against the capitalists, and wait un til the time is ripe for revolution. Rather their leaders are coming out in the open and taking stands on current political issues, voic ing their cause by a new means. In the forum after his address, Browder open ly stated that ten years ago he would not have been allowed to talk before a group of such "re presentative Americans." But by raising a more specific issue, such as Concerted Action vs. Isola tionism, or democracy vs. the threat of fascism, he gains an audience. Thus he can spread hisV message lying behind the words, in a sincere, but subtler manner. ETCETERA - s 'A I FROM THE EXCHANGE DESK By Ben Dixon CARRY ON, MEN, AND EXTEND YOUR SERVICES Most University clubmen have cold black hair. The annual crop of sophomore initiates did their rites the other night, and with a stroke of bucolic sagacity or rustic wisdom, if you like let us charge the new responsibles to keep alive that spark of campus fire called Carolina spirit. ' The University club has had a varying prom inence over its five year life-span, but the record is generally a testimony to the worthiness of the crew which Benny Carr organized to massage a tired student body. Key man each year is the club president, who, for the. newcomers, hasn't been named. Except for such childish exhibitions at last fall's midnight march on Duke, the campus mor ale and sense of unity has been exceptionally fine for a place of. this size and individualistic atmos phere. The club has done a good job with its ral lies, parades, smokers, and sponsors. Besides continuing all this, the club should ex tenpy the "pre-college" program which it began only recently with special Tar Heel banquets in different sections of the state. The character of the club's approach should en 4 able it to create a great deal of "Carolina spirit" in the minds of preparatory and high school fel lows who will be going off to college in the fall each year. But for Ace-Man Roy Armstrong's scouting activities, the "advertising" program of the University is relatively non-existent. This field for the University club's lively touch is wide , open. , T. Jefferson The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. The ivy dignity of the Prince ton university campus was transformed into the scene of an excited deer hunt as three terri fied fawns, pursued by eager students, police and dogs, scam pered over the university grounds. Despite the efforts of the hunters only one deer was captured. It was learned later that the animals were playing truant f rem their reserve near Princeton. The BULL DOG at the Cita del reports a story about an absent-minded professor here. It seems that this professor came racing up to the door of his of fice at 8:30 a. m., jumped out of his car, and ran inside. At 1 p. m. he ambled out, calmly got in his car, put it in gear, and drove off, not seeming to notice that he had left the engine run ning for over four hours. , . . . . Even college students have their ups and downs psycho logically speaking. Two stu dents from Macalester college, St. Paul, Minn., charting from day to day the emotional highs and lows of the average under graduate, found their charts re vealing the following character istics: 1. Students emotions run in cycles, with a low generally reached about the middle of the month. 2. Monday frequently is a gloomy day, but from Wednes day through Sunday most stu dents are "on top of the world." 3. Academic activities are the most upsetting, for vacations and examinations caused the greatest fluctuations. 4. Factors which send stu dents spirits soaring are dates, health, weather, grades and let ters from home. Periods of de pression are unaccountable and often are attributed to "nothing to do" and a "feeling that I wasn't wanted around." The speech that is beginning to take a place among famous old lines is one heard from the folks back home : "No, Johnny is not going back to school this next term because the studying ruins his eyes." The Little Rock Junior college student publication recently brought to light the fact that five new Shakespearean plays were discovered in an English quiz given to sophomore stu dents. "Winterset," "The Mer chant of Venus," "Anthony and Juliet," "It's Love I'm After," and "You Can't Take It With You" all were credited to the bard of Avon. . Horse sense is pure fiction, according to Prof. E. A. Trow bridge, mule expert at the Uni versity of Missouri, but mule sense is something else again. A mule is more valuable than a horse because he will refuse to work when he knows his health is endangered, he said. Men who read this will talk about it more than women. This fact, that women talk less than men was revealed by a Univer sity of Minnesota professor of speech who conducted a survey among university and high school students. He found that: 1. Men like to talk more than women do, according to speech situations in a list of 165 ques tions. 2. Both men and women are more at ease discussing sports than books, religion than busi ness, and subjects about which they are uncertain than about which they are uninformed. 3. Furthermore men are more inclined to bluff than women. 4. But women enjoy giving advice more than men. '' . Dr. Jay Jones, instructor in English at the University of Texas got even with some of the "bright boys" in his class. Be fore Dr. Jones came to class one of the students wrote in the board: "Dr. Jones will not meet his classes Wednesday." By the time he arrived another student had applied the eraser, making: "Dr. Jones will not meet , his lasses today." But Jones had the last laugh when he erased one more letter. Where University Money Comes From (Continued from first page) tution is from trust and endow ment funds, which last year sup plied 12.2 per cent of the Uni versity's finances. Transfers from the Univer sity service plants supplied 3.2 per cent of the income last year and miscellaneous sources ac counted for the remaining .5 per cent. Summer School The major part of the student fees is collected during the regu lar session, when 24.3 per cent of the University's annual in come enters the coffers. That is the 1936-37 amount, revealed by the accounting department. In the two previous years the fig ure was slightly higher. Custo dial care, which embraces dor mitory rents, board, etc., ac counted for 16.4 percent last year, and the summer school and extension service income ac counted for the remainder of the student fees last year. The General assembly's appro priation of approximately 40 per cent is started on its way when the heads of the Univer sity departments, in the fall prior to the biennial legislature, prepare for the Advisory Budg et commission an itemized esti mated budget of their needs. Estimated Budget When the Advisory Budget commission holds its session in the fall preceding the legislative meeting, Dr. Frank Graham or other departmental heads ap pear and explain the needs for the different items set up in their estimated budget. The commission balances the requests against the amount they believe they can raise under the proposed Revenue bill and this information is printed and is known as the state budget. The budget is delivered to the Legislature by the governor afer he has made his budget message. House Speaker The total amount for each de partment shown in the budget is set out in the Appropriation bill, which is introduced into the Legislature by the Chairman of the Appropriation committee. (D. L. Ward, of New Bern, who supplied this accurate informa tion to the Daily Tar Heel, was last year's chairman of the ap propriation committee. He is considered the next choice for the speakership of the House.) After the bill is referred to the Appropriation committee, a date is set for a hearing, and at that time Dr. Graham, or other University officials, appear be fore the committee, explain the institution's needs and request additional amounts which were rejected by the Advisory Budget commission! Upon completion of the hearing, the committee determines the amount it will recommend to the Legislature for passage. Budget Procedure The bill must pass the House as any other bill, and amend ments can be offered at that time to increase or decrease the amounts recommended by the Appropriation committee. The same procedure is followed through in the Senate, except that the Senate and House Ap propriation committees meet jointly in considering the budget. When the amonuts are fixed, the University has first to apply its receipts in taking care of ex penses and after its receipts are exhausted, they are entitled to draw from the general fund up to the amount set out in the budget, provided the revenues are sufficient to take care of these amounts. Decrease Right , If the revenues fail to come through as anticipated the di rector of the budget, the gover nor, has a right to decrease the amounts set by the Legislature. Through all this labyrinth of legislative channels, Dr. Graham is an important figure. He fol lows the budget from the time it is being created here until it is returned with the approval of the Legislature. He usually stays at the state capital from the time the budget message is de livered until the Appropriation bill is enacted into law. 11 IU Again Those confined to the infirm ary yesterday were: A.

Man ft.-6.rr r 1 SHOWER ROOM COMMUTERS Because it is nearest the YMCA, Old West the only dormitory on the campus that has how room commuters. But just in occasional bull sessions do the sev fellows who dwell atop the "Y" building get gusted with the unthinking builders who omitt mi wau;r pipes from th mid-campus three-storr atrocity. 7 . There is a great deal more to the daily lives of Gete Bricklemyer, Bud Hudson Gene Shell, George Netheiv ...11. 1 -.. cuit, jacK rairley, Jo Bonner, and Bennv iw than trotting to neighboring wash rooms. The very paradox of their campus careers keeps the "Y" boys amused at themselves. Brick and Bud are on the University Party's steering committee. Jack and Ben are Student Party committeemen. George, Gene, and John don't care.- Benny,- sophomore socialite, climbs the narrow stairs to his tiny room every day at chapel hour and hangs out the full-length window looking for Mary Taylor Hinnant, with whom he likes to little-apple. "Y" Boys' Romance Bud, between working hours at Swain and foot ball or basketball workouts, falls on the nearest bed in one of three upstairs rooms and snoozes. He, like the rest, makes above average grades His girl lives up in Asheville, out of reach. George, crack baseballer, rivals Benny in ro mance. It's a rare week-end he isn't in Greens, boro, and sometimes on Wednesday nights too. Every day at 10:30 he drops in the "Y" office eats a Dr. Pepper and Nekot-breakfast, and reads a new letter from his girl. Sometimes they, have a little blackjack game during weekends. Most of "Y" boys' vices are im ported from visitors who continually are dropping up to bull a while or sponge a nap. Bud and Brick are the funniest room mates, frequently swapping a few football love-licks be fore bed. John, a ministerial student, lives at the other end of the hall. They Have Mice, Too Of course there are mice. The fellows don't feel so bad, though, because they have been chosen oy tne- x president ahead of many other appli cants to live in their ideally-located place, and they earn their keep by working for the "Y" a few hours each month. Across from the rooms is a hiV slnrntrp snare in which are old YMCA publications, senior re- gana, and whatnot. Every once in a while the "Y" boys get together and talk of the day the spontaneous combustion will come. But the builders did think of safety. The fire escape is a long tug boat rope strapped to the wall. Some night when you see the "Y" going up in flames look , over on the sidp and vnn'H see that rope sail out and seven fellows scrambling POP QUIZ By Bob Perkins Can you take six ones and ar range them so as to make them have the value of twelve?

Letters To The Editor Over 250 Words Subject to Cutting Our Illegitimate University Daily Tar Heel 1 Editor Dear Sir: Some time ago a probing individual with muck raking tendencies indicated that the University was begot on the wrong side of the blanket by pointing out that our seal contained a bend sinis ter, which, according to him, indicated bastardy. Obviously the illegitimacy of an institution is a Physical impossibility so there was no point at aU m starting a commotion about the matter, but since it has been started and is based on nothing but legend it might be just as well to clear it up. As is usual in a case of this kind where there is something off-color involved, the general pub lic is tremendously interested and misinformed. fWS v time U has been a Popular conception tftat a bend sinister on a shield denoted illegiti macy of the bearer and this sole fact constitutes nine-tenths of the heraldic information abroad. People who don't have the slightest idea what Part of a coat of arms is the crest can tell yo all about the bend sinister. As a matter of fa the bend sinister is an honorable charge in Enghi heraldry; it is the baton sinister which indicates bastardy. Eugene Zieber, an outstanding American ToLn heraIdry in Heraldry in America, PP-9-260, states: "When a bend issues from the sinister instead of the dexter chief, it is called (Continued on last page)
