o Tomorrow's March
During the next few days the legislature in Raleigh will
review and pass a revenue bill, dealing with the income of
the state, and an appropriations bill which will determine how
that income shall be spent!
Some of the members of the legislature have already ex
pressed their attitude toward the two bills by taking a stand
for "economy." By adopting this word as their slogan of ac
tion, these legislators have sought to hold the state's income
to a minimum, that is, they have said to the people that their
efforts would be concentrated on keeping taxes low.
But in complying with the supposed will of the people, on
the one hand, they have on the other seriously threatened the
welfare of vitally necessary state agencies, such as the Great
er University, the State Department of Health, and Public
Education. .
- This "economy bloc" in the legislature has built up a strong
political organization. Its opposition has been weak and scat
tered. The parade and assembly in Raleigh tomorrrow, composed
of a representative bloc of youth from all over the state, will
be a positive and clear proclamation of the legislature and
North Carolinians in general that the future tax payers of
the state are anxious that the progress of public and higher
education, of health and welfare should not be turned into a
program of retrogression because of a philosophy of false
economy that holds taxes to a minimum, regardless of values
involved.
Speaking in an organized and orderly fashion for the groups
most directly affected by the meager appropriations, the stu
dents marching, assembling, and voicing their feelings
will hold in mind the relative poverty of the state, the in
violability of the laws of division in distributing that state's
income, and the heavy burden our tax payers must bear.
But they will have also in mind their belief that education,
. health and welfare are our citizens' most practical invest
ments that will, in the long run, relieve the vicious circle of
poverty and retrogression that are brought about by a slack
of these vital fundamentals.
They will brand as false economy that policy of government
which affirms unreservedly that the least spending is the
greatest saving.
The citizens of the state and the members of the legislature
will not be able to turn a deaf ear to the marching forces of
-younger, generations standing firmly for that foresight and
advancement they believe to be so essential to the progress of
democracy in North Carolina.
o Out-Of -State Tuition Yoke
A Carolina alumnus, now a resident of Norfolk, Virginia, came to the
University recently to make arrangements for entering his son here
next year. When he learned that the State Legislature was considring
an appropriations bill which would raise the out-state-tuition differ
ential by $75 he became aroused by this discrimination.
For such an addition to the present $100 tuition fee for out-of-state
students would make sending a son to his alma mater practically im
possible. He told us of 14 other Carolina alumni sons in Norfolk who had
hoped to enter the University next fall, but probably could not if the
appropriation bill now on the Legislature's calendar is passed.
If the appropriation bill, which will soon come to a vote, is passed,
a very heavy yoke will be fastened upon the 'University. The increase
To Tell The Truth'
By Ad2ian Spies
This is the column which I have
been wanting to write since last June,
when To Tell The Truth was first born.
For, trying to be truthful, we have had
to write things as we felt them to be.
And there is much gloom in the world,
you know. And perhaps too much of
it has crept into this thing which we
have fondly liked to label as the Truth.
But today there is a little less need
for gloom, worry, or warning. We can
forget our Fascist hordes for the mo
ment, and cease our warning for the
defense of democracy. For there will
be a beautiful testimony to democracy
tomorrow in Raleigh. And the force of
students, secondary teachers, public
health officers walking together into
a common meeting hall is a more po
tent defense of freedom, than the
ideals of a thousand closet dreamers.
And that is why this is the column
which I have been wanting to write
since last June. It is in exaltation of
a part of our state which is alive and
vogorous. It is in praise of our class
mates who have the courage to take a
position upon an issue which they deem
vital. Today this is the Truth.
On the front page there are stories
of the group who planned the demon
stration: Creedy, Merrill, Joyner, Ni
grelli, and others. There are details
of the "march on Raleigh" in com
bination with the students from State
and Greensboro. And all of it is con
structive student action combined into
an articulate unit. And for a day at
least this is happily the Truth.
As far as can be recalled, this is
the first time that the three divisions
of the consolidated university have
ever blended into a single action. Cer-'
tainly they have never before risen to
gether to defend the furthering of edu
cation, and public health. Such a move
ment is highly significant and encour
aging. It is the sort of thing which we
have read of in exchange college news
papers and wistfully admired .
Although the state budget program
is probably a matter for those most
closely concerned, it is imperative that
those affected may have their say. And
although the program may be unaf
fected by today's plea, at least students
have met to have that say.
There may be economic difficulties
so severe that our present educational
and health facilities must be cut. There
may be undeniable statistics for more
persuasive than young voices speak
ing in unison. But it. is doubtful if
they are any more eloquent or im
portant or nearer to the fundamental
Truth. .
For the meeting today will be a suc
cessful thing even if the budget re
mains limited. It is the sign of young
FROM THE FACULTY

people who have left the false security
of little circles, got excited about a
major issue, and done something about
it. And the shouting will be in harmony
with the sounds of student voices
throughout the land. And they are the
strong sounds of. this land's youth
working toward the realities which
claim them.
It is gratifying to become enthusias
tic about the Truth that is a- part of
today. And it is heartening to discover
that all the protest upon this campus
is not confined to one sagging and iso
lated limb and this is the column I
would like to continue writing from
now on.
CAROLINA
By RAY LOWERY
NOTES OF A CHAPEL HILLIAN
FIFTY-TWO (it is rumored)
George Washingtons called by the box
office of the Carolina theater Wednes
day and demanded passes after the
Father of Our Country's name had
appeared in the birthday column of the
Tar Heel. Davie hall's janitor was
not one of them.
PARK AVENUE socialites, whose
literary achievements are probably in
closed in glass cases under someone
else's names, purchased for $1,700 this
week the original manuscript of Tom
Wolfe's "Look Homeward, Angel."
Although written in long hand, the
mss. contained a minimum of correc
tions. J. K. SVENDSEN of the English
department informs us that in a
library file, listed next to "social
progress" is the word "snail," leading
one to believe that they both creep
along at about the same pace.
THOSE WHO ARE confident that
President Roosevelt's signature was
rubber stamped on the letter which ran
in Thursday's Tar Heel should not be
so hasty. On the original copy the
name is in ink. But did FDR write it
himself? Well, praps.
THIS ONE'S going the rounds. One
night a student called for his date
at Archer house. "Is Miss (so 'n so)
inside?" he asked. "No," replied a date
less young thing who had opened the
door, "she's 'round at the rear." "I
know that, dope," he said, "but where
can I find her?"
.JUNIOR BILL Tenenblatt, chem
major, can double-talk like the tobacco
auctioneer in the movie, "St. Louis
Blues," or the comedian (who is the
same guy) on Jack Benny's program.
STUDENT spiritualists held a se
ance in the Alumni building the other
night for the purpose of receiving
spirit communications. Led by senior
E. G. Shaw, the group cut the lights,
sat around a table and asked questions
which the table answered by swaying
back and forth. This is college and the
20th century, but one fellow was scared
stiff when that table began tapping
against the floor.
NEW FIRE extinguishers have
been installed in the "Y." This equip
ment will be an addition to the old
rope on the third floor supposed to
be thrown out the window and slid
down on in case of fire.
THE UNIVERSITY press will
break an all time publishing precedent
when on April 29 it releases its first
novel. Heretofore the organization has
preferred to publish non-fiction works
exclusively. The novel is "Purslane"
and has to do with rural life in middle
North Carolina in the late 90's and
early 1900's. The author is Mrs. Ber
nice Kelly Harris, a native of Seaboard
and a former member of the Play
makers. GEORGE Laycock, special student
who underwent an operation for ap
pendicitus in Watts this week, is re
ported better and hoping to return to
the 'Hill this week. Louise Hudson,
who had pneumonia, is also reported
improving steadily.

of $75 on out-of-state tuition precludes the entrance of many prospec
tive students. By their absence, the University will not only fail to re
ceive the $75 tuition addition which is supposed to help make up the
$100,00 cut imposed upon appropriations by the bill," but will lose the
larger sum of $225 for each now prospective out-of-state student, who
would not be able to matriculate here under these conditions.
Furthermore, if this appropriations bill is passed with its $100,000
cut and consequent raise in tuition, the University will no longer be
able to select its out-of-state students on a basis of their character,
scholarship and general merit. It will be forced by financial necessity
to accept any and all out-of-state students who seek entrance here.
It will be a severe blow to the financial status and the morale of the
Greater University if this present appropriation bill goes through.
This week by Dr. Glen Haydon.
(Dr. Haydon, musicologist, clarinet
ist and composer, did his undergradu
ate work at the University of Cali
fornia and received his PhJ). from

of the Music department here.)
The concert by the Coolidge String
Quartet which is to be given in the Hill
Music hall on Monday evening, March
6th, is a gift of the Elizabeth Sprague
Coolidge Foundation of the Music Di
vision of the Library of Congress. In
the past five years, so far as I know,
no major quartet has appeared on the
campus, and we are especially happy
that students will have the opportunity
at this time to hear one of America's
finest organizations.
When I was asked to write a column
for the Tar Heel it occurred to me
that it would be timely to say some
thing about chamber music, the Coo
lidge Foundation, and the coming con
cert. STRING QUARTET
The string quartet, composed of two
violins, viola and 'cello, is one of the
most excellent mediums for musical
expression. In the sixteenth century
the parts of songs for soprano, alto,
tenor and bass voices were often played
on stringed instruments. During the
seventeenth century a more specifically
instrumental style for stringed instru
ments was developed, but it was not
until the eighteenth century that the
string quartet as we know it today
came into its own. The great composers
of the late eighteenth and early nine
teenth centuries wrote prolifically for
these instruments. Haydn wrote more
than eighty string quartets and Mo
zart, Beethoven, and most of the com
posers since that time have written
at least something for this combina
tion of instruments.
COOLIDGE FOUNDATION
This type of chamber music is cot
spectacular, but for sheer radical
.beauty it can hardly be surpassed. It
is perhaps due to a realization of the
uneven battle that chamber music Li
general has to- wage in order to bold
its own in competition with other mere
striking kinds of musical performance,
and further in recognition of the deep
musical values of chamber music, that
Mrs. Coolidge has for many years been
an outstanding patron particularly of
this branch of musical activity. Her
gifts have been too numerous to men
tion in detail but of immediate interest
to us is her policy of providing con
certs to colleges and universities in
many parts of the country. Cornell,
California, Princeton, Stanford, and
many other institutions have been the
recipients of her generous gifts. Her
activities have been an important fac
tor in the growth of chamber music in
America.
PROGRAM
The program for the coming concert
will include Beethoven's String Quar
tet, Opus 18, No. 6, Hindemith's String
Quartet No. 3, Op. 22, and Dittersdorf s
String Quartet No. 5, in E flat major.
Beethoven wrote eighteen quarters in
all, and this is the last of the first
group of six included in Opus 18. It is
early Beethoven and what we might
call "easy to listen to." Hindemith is
one of the most prolific of the modern
composers. He is one who, in the minds
of many, is one of the greatest com
posers of today. His third quartet is
much more difficult music to listen
to, being in a dissonant modern style,
but it is worth hearing as a significant
example of contemporary music. Re
cordings of these two quartets are
available in the music library. Students
are invited to acquaint themselves with
them during the week. Dittersdorf was
a contemporary of Mozart. His quartet
affords a pleasing close for the concert.
Wynn Comments
On Speech Standards
(Continued from first page)
merely to the locality in which a per
son is reared."
VOWEL SOUNDS
Wynn remarked that the section
around Chapel Hill has a vowel
quality closer to standard than any
other part of the country. However,
he notices that there is a definite
tendency to lengthen vowels and to
transpose single sounds into dipthongs.
"In voice the greatest fault is the mo
notonous lack of variety."
The University is the only one in
this part of the country and in North
Carolina which has a fully developed
program of voice training and stage
speech and adequate facilities for such
training.
EQUIPMENT
The equipment in the voice studio
cost over $2,000, and includes a sepa
rate sound studio and professional re
cording equipment. These instruments
also have the facility for radio prac
tice and for radio broadcasting when
lines are extended from different sta
tion studios near here.
Wynn puts as the two principles in
voice improvement the recognition of
one's voice and diction differences
through phonograph recordings and
the imitation of good voice models.
At the beginning of the course Wynn
has the student to read a selection in;
the sound studio and records it. He
describes the reaction of a student
when he hears his own voice speaking
back at him for the first time. "The
student invariably says 'This can't be
my voice!' and that shows how little
conscious one is of the true sound
of his voice. This is very necessary for
him to know if he is o improve."
About the middle of the' quarter
another recording is made, and the
student can tell what he has accom
plished. For the examination a third
recording is made, and the final grade
is based on the difference in the first
and last recordings.
WAS AT NORTHWESTERN
Wynn came to Carolina last fall
from a position on the faculty at
Northwestern university, and in the
short time he has been here his course
in speech has already become popular
on the campus. He graduated from
Augustama college and received his
M.A. degree from Northwestern col
lege, which offers, the best instruc
tion for voice "training in America.
Fromthere he went to a college in
Missouri to teach, and' returned three
years later as a professor at North
western., In his spare time he did in
cidental work on his Ph.D degree so
that now he has only to complete his
dissertation. -
"There are two elements in the
training of the voice," he said. "These
are diction and froice. Some people
need one, and others both. At the
present I , am combining both in one
course, but in the near future I plan
to separate the course into two di
visions, Voice and Diction. Then the
student may take either."
TO SELECT VOICES
By the first of the spring quarter
Wynn will select a group of 30 voices
of all pitches and varieties from the
Dramatic Arts school and the Univer
sity in general to work up "The Con-
j go," which is an impression in poetry
01 tne xviegro nature through different
rhythms. The recording of it which
will be made in the University voice
studio will be used by Mrs. Ora Mae
Davis and her class in dancing and
interpretation of the poem.
Dr. Phillips Russell, professor of the
well-known Creative Writing course,
remarked: "I think that all writers
and journalist students should take a
course in speech, that of Mr. Wynn's
or some other good voice professor,
so that they may be able to read their
own works -clearly and impressively.
At some time or other, a writer is
certain to be called upon to read his
own articles, and how he reads them
will be an important part of their
success!"
