No One's Fault
The history-making bonus measure passed recently by the
State legislature is a credit to North Carolina and to the men
who passed it. Nearly all state employees are better off today
because of the bonus voted them for the last' eight months of
the present fiscal yea.r. The legislators who listened to the peo
ple instead of the administration have the admiration of all the
state employees as well as most of the other voters. We wish
to commend the state senators and representatives for adopting
the report of the conference committee that made the bonus
possible. The measure says, in effect, here is the money you
have earned. The last appropriation was not sufficient. This
bonus is our way of making up the deficiency.
In checking with the comptroller of the University, we learned
that the bonus is granted to all state employees with the excep
tion of one group. Mr. Carmichael says that according to his
present information, the bonus will not be granted to the part
? time, self-help students who work here in the University. This
means that those students who serve us in the library, in the
cafeteria, at the book exchange and in other jobs on the campus
- will not benefit by the measure. If the final interpretation of
the measure denies some bonus to these self-help students, we
believe that the legislature has made an unfortunate oversight
in preparing the bill.
Certainly no group of state employees need some sort of bonus
more than these part-time workers. In many cases they are
veterans who have obligations that cannot be covered by their
G.I. allotment. In other cases, they are students who depend
on this part-time work to help them get through school. The
usual hourly wage of these workers is 50 cents an hour, and they
usually work about two hours a day. A few years ago this
dollar a day would have taken care of their meals, but now it
does not. The average food expense now is nearer to $1.50 a
day". These students would not be working if they did not need
the money. They have been victims of the same inflation that
has hurt all others in the fixed-income group.
These students do not have the same free market for their
labor that many other state employees have. Since they want
first to get an education, they must sell their labor in the im
mediate vicinity of the institution they attend. Probably no
where else in the state could such workers be obtained at 50
cents an hour as in Chapel Hill.
There can be little doubt that these workers are rowing their
own boat. They are doing the same work in the book-exchange
and in the cafeteria that brings 75 cents an hour in other parts
of the state. It would be difficult to imagine the work of the
University being carried on without the work of these students.
We believe that the aim of the bonus measure is to help put
state employees on an equal footing with other employees in
buying in the inflated market that now exists. We believe that
the proponents of the measure would recognize that the self
help students are' also the victims of this inflation, and need
the bonus as badly as the other state employees. We believe that
the measure, as it is now interpreted, does an injustice to this
group of part-time workers.
There is no need to say that this is a deliberate injustice. The
noteworthy way in which the legislators have handled the mea
sure precludes any such charge.' It has merely been an oversight
on the part of men who have tone tremendous work in the
past weeks.- Compared to the vast payroll of state employees,
the wages of this little group of self-help students are insignifi
cant. Yet even a small addition to their small salaries would be
of great importance to them.
The oversight has been no one's fault. It can be remedied by
the legislature, or perhaps by the administrators with very little
trouble. We would like to see the self-help students get an even
break. J.M.

Dan the Dog Accuses Scribe
Of Taking 'Dive9 in Contest
By Jnd Einberg
I was just observing that my tongue tasted like the fuzzy side of a
canine's ear, when Dan the Dog dropped up to the office for a brief chat.
Dan is usually most compassionate, so I was startled when he put his
paw menacingly under his coat and snarled, "The boys do not like what hap
pened Thursday night, Kinberg."
"You mean about the Carolina Magazine dropping a close one to the
DTHoochsters in the beer-guzzling contest?"
"That is just what I mean, bright, .
boy. There is some talk roundand-j0 m h?s. SfCnds befr6

at ,
Are you certain mat tnis lack 01
about that you personally

"Oh that, I just got, under the table
for a gag picture, Dan. I was not
in the least affected."
"Can the wise talk, bright boy. The
boys are saying that. you dump this
little game after you tell them to bet
heavy on the Magsters."
"Nothing of the sort, Dan. I will
admit that I noised it around we could
take the local yellow journalists with
a beer bottle tied behind our backs,
but I never advised anyone to wager
hard cash on the outcome."
"Stop weasling, bright boy! Assort
ed gamblers are placing money all
over town Thursday afternoon on
your say-so. Now they are hinting
hat maybe you encourage this in
order to make a killing by backing
the DTH yourself."
''Horrors, Dan' I exclaimed. "Does
that sound like the sort of thing I
would do?"
Again Dan's lips curled and he bark
ed, "Are you kidding? Why it is gen
erally noised about that you one time
turn in your grandmother to Federal
peepers for her using, cancelled pos
tage stamps on her mail. The gamb
lers are more than somewhat per
turbed, Kinberg."
"I can explain everything. It was
a series of unlucky breaks and skull
duggery that brought the sad deci
sion." "Start talking, columnist!"
"Our first mistake was to leave all
preparations to the Daily Tar Heel.
But then, how was I to know?"
"Know what?"
"That Woestendiek would get
Schlitz when he knows I drink noth
ing but Budweiser."
"What sort of fairy story is this
concernii brand?"
"It is very important. My aesthe
tic sense was so outraged by the
Schlitz label that my concentration
was greatly impaired. On the third
round of the contest:, I had the cup

nist?" "On three beers, Dan? You know
my Guzzlers Club of America handi
cap is four of the filled brown bot
tles. But this wasn't the only trick
the unscrupulous Daily Blatz boys
pull."
"This is sounding like a pretty
nasty accusation." f
"You wouldn't believe the lengths
the DTH went to in order to nose us
out. When we came to the gaming
table, I found that all our cups had
been ruthlessly sandpapered. The
rough edges cut my men's lips to
ribbons, blood flowed. None the less
we continued the. struggle."
Dan sat there, dumbfounded by the
magnitude of DTH culpability. Slow
ly, he shook his mane, handed me a
friendly paw and said, "I am carrying
this tale back to my gay dog friends.
Your name is cleared."
It was a touching farewell as my
pal padded from the office. He turn
ed and called back, "What part is
this Schaap ringer of the Tar Heel's
playing in our defeat?"
"He is pretty fast, Dan. But for
my money he is nothing but a burp
in the pan. I am grooming a chap by
the name of Kaufmann who will take
him by next quarter."
"Do you plan any coming meets for
the Mag team?"
"Next quarter we hope to meet the
Duke Archive staff in a home-and-home
series."
"Do you have any advice as to
what side we put the money on?"
"You can win back all you lost on

"We are insisting that their edi

"How does that. . .?"
"It's a woman!"
What Do
YOU Say?
TTarry Snowden
At the present time there exists a plan adopted by our state legislature
for the improvement of the health facilities of the people of North Caro
lina. This plan, known as the North Carolina Good Health Plan, has
received the support of liberal and progressive groups throughout the stat.
including our leading campus organizations.
However, parts of this plan, which in our opinion contain its essence,
are not . in operation. These parts concern the Hospital and Health
Center Construction Program, and
the expanded Medical School for
training more doctors, nurses, tech
nicians, and other necessary person
nel. It is obvious that without the
necessary tools and without the nec
essary trained human beings to
handle these tools no plan can be a
success.
Concretely, a study made by the
Medical Care Commission appointed I
1 y- rfn . . . il A. '
Dy governor inerry nas reveaiea mat
there is a need for at least 1,300 more
doctors in the state. In addition, the
study has revealed that the medical
facilities at Duke and Bowman Gray
are not sufficient for our needs.
Now we all know that the success
ful operation of a plan does not'
depend solely upon the appropria
tion of the necessary funds for its
realization. However, it must be ad
mitted that this is the first, un
avoidable step. In this connection,
it appears that the most effective
method in approaching the state
legislature is that of group action.
The elected officers of our campus
organizations will be able to obtain
copies of a Summary of the Good
Health Plan from Blount Stewart.
This summary is concise, and for our
purposes, complete.
It is well to remember that cam
pus organizations develop on the
basis of practical activities in such
situations as this which reveal to in
dividual students their real inten
tions and purposes. B. R.

The Shackles of Pride
Dear Sir:
A fundamental note was struck in
yesterday's letter from Mr. Bernard
riemmons. "A matter of pride" ' re
veals a basic attitude which is retard
ing brotherhood and understanding
not only in North Carolina but in
the world. Pride or as Webster de
fines it, "inordinate self-esteem" is
the obvious malady from which all
discrimination and intolerance pro
ceed. "Lofty self-respect, arrogance,
and disdain" are not'ths things which
noted men of our state sought to es
tablish. Instead they visualized a pro
gressive North Carolina whichwould
rise above the prejudice that is fos- i
tered by ignorance and yet how
startling to find in the midst of our
own educational set-up, so nobly dedi
cated to liberty and enlightenment,
those who would keep us chained in
the shackles of intolerance which are
antithetical to everything we profess
to obtain from a liberal education.
Before us is placed the chivalric rea
son, "a matter of pride."

The matter of interracial education
goes much deeper than merely want
ing equality of educational facilities
which is actually a right of citizen
ship and no noble concession. From
the meeting of the races in the class
room and as students would grow the
understanding which inevitably must
come if we are to ever achieve even
a verisimilitude of true democracy in
the United States or peace in the
world.
Have we more pride than fore
sight? Have we more pride than
brotherhood? Have we more pride
than the ability to see beyond our nar
row prejudice? If so then do we de
serve our place in a society dedicat

We must share freedom and respon-
! sibility alike. Our legislature has
proven that it can and does represent
us when the need arises, in this case
to initiate proper action and consid
eration to iron out obvious difficul
ties from which both faculty and stu
dents suffer during registration time.
In addition to the resolution passed
last night by the assembly I would
like to suggest that the president of
the student body appoint a special
committee to sponsor meetings be
tween Mr. Lanier and his sta.ff and
the students' representatives so that
all sides of this important question
may be aired and to help find a way,
in cooperation with the faculty who
I am certain will gladly accept any
assistance, so that registration proce
dure in the future may be based on in
telligent compromise of open minds.
In conclusion, I would like to say
for myself and the majority of stu
dents that we are hoping for an early
amelioration of the situation. It is,
of course, to be expected thatall in
telligent and clear-think people will
condemn the radical proposal by C. B.
Farrell in Tuesday's column, in which
he not only advocates but urges the
use of the "strike" as a. solution to
the present problem.
Sincerely yours,
