Sound Business
In the past, our approach to
the University budget before
the Legislature has been to
point out the great values of
universities in the well-rounded
life of our nation.
Tpo often, we have ignored
the job of the Legislators who
have to reasonably keep a
budget from overbrimming
into a deficit.
For instance, with the cur
rent budget before the Ap
propriations committee in
Raleigh, probably the two
main objections" to the perma
nent increases that Dr. Gra
ham has recommended are the
present high building costs
and the uncertain world con
ditions, which threaten to blot
out many of the existing in
stitutions of our state and na-
tion.
In answering these claims,
we must take two series of
facts into consideration. It is
true that a rise in building
costs is sweeping the nation,
but these rises are only paral
lel to the expansion of busi
ness in general. Now, when
business in general grows, and
its volume increases, the state
revenue also increases. Hence,
the rise in building costs is
likely to be proportionate to
the rise in business conditions
and the income of the state of
North Carolina.
Yet, the real difference, and
the short run expedient reason
why the Legislature should
grant the requests of the Con
solidated University, is that .
interest rates for borrowing
money are the lowest in" the
history of modern finances.
The actual cost of building the
required permanent improve
ments for the University is
not nearly as great as it might
seem, when one realizes that
it is low-interest money we
are borrowing.
The uncertainty of world -events
might be viewed as
another valid criticism against
granting the proposed ap
propriations., Yet, it is neces
sary to have a potent national
defense program, so that we
can make our position in an
uncertain world a more certain '
one. Here1, in Chapel Hill, we

No U-Turns
Chapel Hill should enact a
law prohibiting automobiles
from making U-turns at the
post office corner, and also at
the corner of Columbia' and
Franklin street.
Especially is this condition
bad at the post office corner.
More Carolina students and
townspeople cross the street
here than any other spot in
the village. Pedestrians should

are doing our part in national
defense. We are training
young, skilled aviators and
educated, intelligent naval of-
fleers.
Thus, we can see from the
viewpoint of the state as
represented and led by the
Legislature that it is sound
financially to back up the. re
quested appropriations of the
University. Not only do busi
ness conditions back up the
grant, but also the need for
national defense makes it im
perative that we do a first rate
job over here in Chapel Hill.

Figures Are Out
Jitterbugs and figures do
more to ruin Carolina dances
than anything else. The dance
committee has been asked to
make an effort to rid us of
jitterbugs, and over the past
weekend the law and med
students decided not to have
any figures at their set of
dances. If other organizations
would follow suit, it would be
better for all concerned.
To hold a figure at any Caro
lina dance takes anywhere
from 15 to 30 minutes of the
dancers' time. Those who par
ticipate have openly voiced
their approval against it. Why
do they continue to have
them? Perhaps it is custom.
If it is, it might be well to
realize that the change will
come sooner or later, so why
not now?
If other dance groups do
away with figures, Carolina
dancers will forever be indebt
ed to law and med student for
their progressive step. They
broke a tradition that should
have been kicked over years
ago.

enough so that his friends don't
stop him with questions like "Say,
where are you preaching" every
time he puts on a suit. . . . He
can't understand why anyone in
these times criticizes the govern

tends that whatever his country
does is all right with him that he
is an American and not pro-any-other-nation.

He may not go to church but once
a month, but still you, don't find -him
getting drunk every night in

on the campus, he is usually the
first to speak and if you fail to
answer he feels hurt. . . . His eyes
aren't red and his head doesn't
ache from playing poker until 4

Most towns have ordinances
against cars making U-turns
on main thoroughfares. It is ex
tremely dangerous. It would
be a simple matter for the
cars to go around the block,

move more swiftly in the busi

driver and pedestrian would
be more satisfied with a new

likes to see Carolina athletic teams
win, but he's a good enough sport
to acknowledge a better team. . . .
You never hear him boo no matter
how raw the decision may be. . . . He
may date a coed for the dances, but
he won't have a late date just be

He knows that the "Star Spangled

sometimes has tears in his own

that no one noticed them. ...

State Press Hits Action
Of Board of Education
Action of the state board of education in marking oST the supplc:ea
reading list for North Carolina public schools the book by Professors:
some and Lefler of this University has created much unfavorable eoi-V
in the state press. Here are two extracts:
From the Hickory Daily Record:
The Newsome-Lefler text was originally recommended by the Eleae-ta
Textbook Commission, for adoption in the schools of .North Caro!;- f ",
use in 'the Fifth grade.
However, a board of education that obviously is more interested in ve
technique of politics than in the needs of children in a given grade r".
jected the book recommended by the school people. The reason the
some-Lefler text was turned down -was because the authors dared print ti
truth in giving recent history of the Democratic party of North Carolisa-I
particularly concerning the use of absentee ballots in the primary clecticrc
. of 1932 and 1936 when Ehringhaus and Hoey won the gubernatorial ncmhT
tion. i
The Warren history book, which was chosen by the political group, is ver .
complimentary of the members of the two' administrations.
In view of the criticism which the original action stirred throughout th
state, The Record believes that the Democratic party, which the state boari
quoted as being eager to protect, will suffer more at the hands of itj
friends than at the hands of its alleged unfair critics.
It seems to us that when a board which could not profess to know any
thing about textbooks from a pedagogical standpoint, goes so far as to bar
the Newsome-Lefler text from the list of supplementary reading matter,
the fundamental spirit of democracy is violated.
The public would do well to saw off the limb on which the State Board of
Education is now precariously perched.
If only history books whose authors are willing to lick the boots of the
board members are deemed fit for use in our schools, in the opinion of those
now in complete control of our system of public education then there
should be no argument concerning the necessity for a new set-up as no
proposed in the state.
From the Durham Herald :
Considering what has gone before, that looks mighty like an arbitrary
action and reflects something closely akin to petty politics, nothing le3s.
Fact of the business is, it is a bit far-fetched to leave it to state officials
whose chief connection with schools is inviting school folk to help them
get elected to state office to say what textbooks are fit and unfit for use in
classrooms. To permit that group to black-list a book because they thir.k
it repeats estimates of political history1 held by a great number of citizens
is, to say the least, flirting with Huqjt Longism.
