One Little Word
The little word "not" can
cause an enormous amount of
trouble.
In the latest such case, sin
cerest apologies are due to D.
Hiden Ramsey and to the
Young Democrats club on cam
pus for two omissions of "not"
in the write-up of Ramsey's
speech which appeared in the
'DTH yesterday.
Accurately, Ramsey said that
the Democratic parly had not
inflicted upon the people of
North Carolina such men as
Huey Long, Jim Folsom, and
lhe Talmadges; and that he
(Ramsey) would not vote for
a Democratic scoundrel.

Large Increase
Along With GM
By Gordon Huffines
A $105,000 general campus
budget for the fiscal year begin
ning June 1 was passed last night
by the Student Legislature by an
almost unanimous vote. With the
exception of an $87.50 cut in the
appropriations for the Elections
board the budget was passed in
tact as presented by the Finance
committee.
An attempt to kill the new
Carolina Quarterly by cutting the
proposed $2,000 appropriation
was defeated by members of the
Legislature. On the recommenda
tion of Ernest House, chairman
of the Finance committee that a
cut be made in the budget to in
crease reserve funds. Tag Monta
gue introduced an amendment to
cut the amount of money to be
appropriated for establishing the
quarterly to $1,000. Tom Kerr and
Charlie Gibson appeared before
the Legislature to defend the
quarterly.
Largest item on the new bud
get is a $65,717 appropriation for
campus publications. Of this
amount the Daily Tar Heel will
receive $24,670, the Yackety
Yack, $33,818, and the Tarna
tion $5,775.
By a decree of the Board of
Trustees Graham Memqrial is to
receive $21,000 to cover opera
ting expenses for the next year.
An additional fund of $5,250 was
appropriated for student enter
tainment, (to be administered by
Graham Memorial.)
With the exception of the op-
posal to the Carolina Quarterly
the only other dissent evident in
the routine passing of the budget
items was over the transportation
expenses for the Debate council.
Ernest House explained to the
legislators that the council's bud
get is being increased to $4,125
this year to aid in expanding the
activities of the University's de
bating teams. Earl Fitzgerald,
president of the Debate council,
was extended the privileges of
the floor to answer questions on
the council's expenses.
Other appropriations provided
for in the general budget are:
executive branch of the Student
government, $937.50; legislative
branch, $400; judicial branch,
$1,243.50.; Carolina Skrum, $600;
and the Men's Interdormitory
council, $80. An unappropriated
balance of $1,472 remains in the
budget for the forthcoming fiscal
year.
