For This NEWS: RAY LOWERY A Price Of Expansion President Roosevelt, attempting to stabilize a nation long off its eco nomic balance, unloosed millions of dollars this year, with the purported intention of "priming the pump" of business. The University has just felt the impact of the latest government spending, to the extent of a PWA grant for $478,925. This nearly half million dollars represents 45 per cent of a spending program which must receive the remaining 55 per cent from a special bond issue. . The 45 per cent prize was placed on a platter before the North Caro lina General Assembly. "Take it," they were told, "and build and re pair your State institutions." They acted swiftly. President Frank P. . Graham appeared before the legislative committees and told them what he, as head of the Greater University, wanted f ot the educational institutions. There can be no doubt of the wisdom of his choices of . new buildings to be secured and old ones to be repaired locally. Every improvement, every expansion, whether it comes now or later, is in evitable. The time to act, therefore, was at hand, and Dr. Graham seized the opportunity, bringing to us a construction and remodeling program of more than a million dollars. Self-Help Needs But the Federal government had other money in its seemingly limit less treasury. The annual appropriation for the National Youth Ad ministration was made, and the University was given 33 NYA assign ments more than the total for last year, each recipient of such a. job td be paid $15 monthly. Thus, there are around 245 students on NYA : rolls here, and approximately 225 others on regular University self help pay. ' ' But and here is the dismal side of the picture over 600 applica tions for jobs were received and the University had no budgetary pro visions for them. Many of the applicants remained at home because they would have no income here. Many came on, and their financial burden is ever pressing them. ' : Purpose of the University The founders of the University visualized it as. the one agency re sponsible for educating their sons and their descendants. To perpetuate this principle,, they provided that tax . money should be used "to make education available for every son of tne . StaW. If any son. of a North Carolina taxpayer could fl6t bear the whole additional expensisr, they provided that the tuition fee should not be chargecti This provision was later amended to make: available to needy students a tuition loan, to be paid back with interests '." Two Problems , . . . , . The University, the State, and the Federal government, which is temporarily acting as guardian angel for all concerned,' are faced" with at least two problems: (1) Enrollment growth demands a parallel ex pansion in the educational plant and its subsidiaries'. (2) At the same time, there is the traditional financial obligation in connection with education for the youth of North Carolina With each expansion, however, comes higher costs of operation. Witness the result of the new gymnasium a $15 annual increase in student fees. Every material increase in the University's possessions will mean added operating costs, with few new revenues resulting" from the building program. Those additional expenses cannot come from a PWA grant; they must come from the students or from the State. The State has saddled on itself the approximately $600,000 debt as its share of the expansion. It seems, then, that any increased costs must be passed on to the students. Self -Help Temporary At any time, though, the Federal government may abandon NYA ' the funds for which it considers primarily an emergency expenditure. -The self .-help students thus thrown out of work if and when the aban donment takes place will still be under a heavy financial burden,' which the added operation costs certainly will not tend to lighten. The State, as party to the National government's action, will have fulfilled in the sense of providing adequate educational facilities-its obligation to the founders of the University and to their descendants ' now enrolled here. But, through no fault of its own, it will have been less successful-in a more important consideration: to make financially available an education to the largest possible number of North Caro lina sons. So, whatever higher, education the -State can offer to its progeny is being made more difficult. Those possible future students of the University who are financially handicapped must bear, part of the costs of operation of the new buildings through increased student fees, ' and they must be denied those funds that might have come to their aid through self-help allotments. For our new buildings, a price is being paid. JEditor -Managing Editor -Business Manager -Circulation Manager Staff Leonard Lobred, Noel Woodhouse, Issue SPORTS: C. B. McGAUGHEY THE ls30 CLASS By Adrian Spies (Guest Columnist, Sanford Stein) The combination of theRitz brothers, a race track story, and a Darryl Zanuck production ought to bring forth, by all the laws of logic and box office a picture capable of extracting at least a few stray titters from any audience. "Straight, Place and Show" (Sun. and Mon.) goes further than that. At times it's downright funny. The Ritz brothers possess a brand of comedy which consists of perfect timing, A-l team work, and a severe case of de- lerium tremens. Their new pic tiire gives them ample oppor tunity to fully display all their talents : "jabbering at each other hi unintelligible shouts or whis pers, making faces, screeching into telephones, executing Rus sian dances in cowboy costumes, worrying, ringing bells, riding horseback forward and back ward, crawling on all fours and swinging from the limbs of trees." (Time) This time the boys become the owners of a nag named Play boy, whom they enter in a $25,- 000 sweepstakes race. The man ner "in which they win provides one of the most hilarious se quences ever filmed, not to men tion a proper culmination to the cinematic romance of Phyllis Brooks and Richard Arlen. 9 Chief defect of the Ritz brothers' last picture was that whenever the three were off the screen, the plot was hackneyed and the dialogue stank. This has been remedied in part by having the script based on a Damon Runyon play and the use of a good supporting cast, including Ethel Merman, who shells out with a few Brown and Pollack songs. "Garden of the Moon" (Tues day) is one of the better musi cals of the year. Using as its plot the tried-and-true formula of the unknown orchestra leader who substitutes for a name band at the last minute and makes a big hit, it's made into good enter tainment by several topnotch songs ("Love is Where You Find It," "Lady on the 2-cent Stamp" etc.), clever lines, and a highly competent cast. Although Pat O'Brien gets top billing, chief acting honors go to John Payne, who plays the young maestro, arid Margaret Lindsay; who has the rMe of a' distinctly unmgenuisn pres agent in love With him. Payne prhaiM besi khdwri as the grandson of the 6timisi who- wrote "Home jWeei Home," is being' groomed for stafdom by WarrieV Bros, and should prove an effective heart-throb for the coeds. Mar garet, whose English accent originated in Dubuque, Iowa; displays as much looks and class and considerably more vitality, than usual, , As for Pat, who plays a night club owner willing to do any thing short of murder for pub licity, he is vigorous and con vincing, but, says Variety, "there's never any subtlety to his playing and his only way of giv ing emphasis to a line is by rais ing his voice." Picture is also graced by the presence of Jim mie Fidler, the radio cinemagpie, whose performance undoubtedly wouldn't rate more than two bells on his own program. "Valley of the Giants" (Thurs and Fri) , in spite of Technicolor, finished production, and the presence of Wayne Morris and Claire Trevor, is little more, than good, old-fashioned melodram mer, complete with fierce-fights- MODERN HORIZONTAL. 1,8 Pictured English , painter. 1Z Valuable property; 13 Native metal. 14 Artificial silk. 16 To counter sink. 17 One who tunes pianos. 19 Poynesian chestnut. , 20 Small flap, 21 Organ of hearing. 22 Corded cloth. 24.

Photographed in the magnificent setting of the Northwest Redwood country, it makes romantic, exciting stuff. Chief , defect is that the1 trees dwarf the players, but don't let that keep you away. Someday, some Hollywood genius is going to make a for tune by the extraordinary pro cess of producing a movie show ing college the way it actually is. Until then, however, we must be resigned to having Hollywood inform us that what we really came to college for is to put on smash-hit musicals, win football games at the last few seconds of play, and see, hundreds of gorge ous coeds, all wearing sweater sets. This week Chapel Hill plays host to two ' variations of the brand "Freshman Year" (Wed.) arid "Touchdown Army" (Sat.)., The former stresses the musical angle, features cute Dixie Dunbar,. anoT is concerned with a group of boy who hope to make easy? money by selling "flunk" insufance. The latter emphasizes the athletic branch, has two football heroes in Jove with Mary Carlisle, and bases its climax on a rendition, of the Rebel yell. Also present in 'Touchdown Army" is one Bill Moore, who played end for Caro lina in 1935. Students of long standing in Chapel Hill, may perhaps remember his football exploits. '- . Friday's Midnight show is a reprise of "Blockade," notable for being one of Hollywood's few attempts to use vital social problems for material. Setting is modern war-torn Spain. Major asset of the picture, though, is the opportunity it gives of gaz ing for almost two hours at the patrician loveliness of; Ideal Desert Companion Madeline Carroll. ; There are approximately 150, 000 words in the English langu age.

CAMPUS PERSONALITIES Bj DONALD BISHOP "There's not much to write about me," Deke President John Moore, head of the Interfra- ternity council, declared when approached as a Campus Per sonality. But, especially during the present rushing period of fraternities, he rises to a posi tion of undisputable major cam pus importance. He is president of the organi zation which imposes upon its membership the 22 University social fraternities rules for gaining their pledges. It is a mild policing duty, but a regu lative board becomes almost es sential at this particular time. His council also takes the initia tive in promoting understanding among fraternities all through the year. John has spent part of his ex tra-curricular time on the DATLT Tar Heel, Yackety-Yack and on class committees, but this year he will concentrate on Interfra- terhity council affairs arid grad uating as an English major. In the summer, one is likely to find him sailing a boat up and down the waters surrounding his home town, Edenton. Arid mention of his home brings out an interesting, side light. John and Puddin' Wales cairie up from Edenton as fresh men arid roomed together a couple of years in 311 Old East. John pledged D. K. E. and be came its president in his senior year. Puddin' was elected to the Interdormitory council, served on it three years, and recently, became its president, a position similar to the Interfratternity presidency. - The interests of John and Puddin' have diverged some what, but they still retain one secret to themselves. Puddin re cently refused to divulge the ori gin of his saccharine name, and John won't talk about it either.
