It's Up to the Trustees Tomorrow the board of trustees meets in Raleigh, and one of the topics under consideration will be the proposed raise in tuition at the three branches of the University. In the last few weeks much h'as been written and said about the tuition raise. Most students are in, agreement that the raise will be detrimental to the University and to many , prospective students. They do not agree that al though regrettable the raise is unavoidable as many people claim. But in denouncing the proposed raise most students have aimed their remarks at Governor Scott because of his faux pas in saying that the University tuition rate should not undercut that of denominational colleges. The governor, however, should not be the primary target. Al though it is true that he favors the raise, it was not he but the advisory budget committee that recommended it and the joint appropriations committee that approved it. Yet neither are these bodies the responsible party not yet. The board of trustees is the one group that has authority to declare a raise in tuition. ' "! The student Council of the Greater University, which represents the students of UNC, WC and -State', has sent : a letter to each trustee pointing out that there is a possibil- " ity the state legislature will vote to supply funds which would make the hike unnecessary. For this reason the trustees are being asked to postpone action on the raise un til their meeting in June. If in the meantime the legisla ture does not increase the appropriation, the trustees will be forced to raise tuition but the blame will be .upon the budget commission and the legislature for forcing them to. If, however, the board acts tomorrow to institute the raise, then the board of trustees and only the board must accept full and complete responsibility for the increase. Klan Is No Criterion As dangerous to the American philosophy of Democ racy as the Communist doctrine is the influence of its opposite number, the Ku Klux Klan. The radicals say "change everything, and change it immediately." The reactionaries say "don't change anything ever." Dominance of the one group means chaos; of the other, stagnation. Neither is the path America would follow. It is good to note that even in its southern" stronghold the Klan is more and more losing its grip upon the younger generations through the process of education. That this is true was shown when students at the University of South' Carolina disagreed with a speech by Samuel Green, Grand Dragon of the Klan, last week. A comment Green made about the students was illuminating. "I was young once," he said. "I did some foolish things then myself." If by this Green means he is now a criterion of wis dom, then thank God for fools. Entertainment Guide little Foxes' By Vestal C. Taylor Holding the spotlight in campus entertainment for ihe coming week is the five-night stand of "The Little Foxes," beginning March 2nd and run ning through March 6th, under the direction of John Parker, Playmaker business manager. This drama has enjoyed a long and successful career, be ginning back in 1939 when it was first produced on Broad- way as a stage play. Since that time the "Foxes" has ap peared as a screen play, and at the present is being pre pared for presentation as an opera. The "Foxes" will play for the visiting firemen later in the week when the campus plays host to the representa tives of theater groups from 10 states (not 15 as originally planned), gathered here for the Southeastern Theater con ference, scheduled for March 3Tar 3HCecl ..ED JOYNER, JR. .

The Pan Hells begin work during the coming week on their charity show and plan to open the spring quarter on March 25th with a full-grown variety show, with a melo drama thrown in for good measure. The girls will do a repeat performance on March 28th. Both dates are booked at the Rendezvous and pro duction is under the watchful eyes of Edie Knight and That Man Strader. -This writer would like to urge all parties to keep this show in mind and plan to at tend. These good people are going to produce a show that will be fully appreciated by the audience, but more im portant is the fact that they are doing this thing to raise money in order to adopt, by proxy, a small war orphan.

Newspapers in this country have traditionally played an important part in the lives of men, and there can be little disputing the many con tributions that the press has made to our nation. For any democracy to suc ceed, it is essential that a vir ile and honest press dissemin- ate news and help to educate the . people. In order to do this, the press must always be free. It was unfortunate from many standpoints that Presi dent Truman used the lan guage he did in his recent rpeech; aroused at Drew Pear son's attack on one of his aids, x the President said that he would not let any "S. O. B." tell him what to do. In this particular case Mr. Pearson was pointing out the relationship between General Vaughan and the fascist gov ernment of Argentina. Such an article seems within the realm of good journalism, for it is when the press abuses its rights, not when it gives opinions and facts, that it should be called to task. Anna Louise Strong's attack seems far more valid. She said that the papers were trying to achieve sensationalism and were forcing the world to war. In her own case she had been deprived of privacy by the press. A common practice in getting news and feature stor ies. All human beings, regard less of their importance, de serve the right of privacy. Al though the press should give opinions and news, it should not build up golden idols and , it should not attempt to arouse mass hysteria which may threaten the peace of man kind; it should be calm and , objective in its reporting. . f Although the sports depart ment of the DTH has attacked a recent article of mine, I do not believe that it is worth while for either of us to be come involved in an inter necine battle. Attacking per sonalities for opinions is not beneficial for either side, and I respect Mr. Carmichael for his ideas, his hard work, and as a person. I would, however, like to make two points. Some people may have gained the impres sion that I think Charlie Jus tice is the devil incarnate; this is not so. I have great admir ation for Justice as an athlete, but I have more respect for his sportsmanship and his mod esty. Shaking hands with op ponents after games and ' giv ing his teammates credit for their share made more of an impression than did his long runs. The other point is that great stars existed before college football was professionalized, and they are still remembered. th nntlinhr W III V-J III ting with the Foster Parents plan an organization caring for these unfortunate kids. In terested persons or organiza tions may adopt a child for one year by donating $180 to cover the cost of clothing, medicine and education. Don't balk at the door charge col lected at the door on show night. In order to clear up a popu lar misconception among the public, it is timely to say that neither "Beggar's Opera" nor "Apple Tree Farm" are being sponsored or co-sponsored by the Piaymakers. The rule reads that unless a member of the staff is actively participat ing in a production, it is not to be considered a Playmaker production. This excludes both the aforementioned plays. It is correct to state that both are being produced with the cooperation of the Piaymakers. A Distributed by King Features Syndicate by arrangement with The Washington star Washington Scene Sweet. UnambiHousWultures I By George Dixon (Copyright, 1949, King -features syndicate Inc.) Mr. Speaker, I ask unani mous consent to address the House for one minute on a mat ter that should brook no fur ther delay. I wish to speak in defense of America's vultures. I feel that these birds have been unjustly traduced and calumniated. While I am not a member of the vulture bloc in Congress, I believe in the glorious principles of Amer ican fair play. My distinguished colleague, the Hon. John A. McGuire, of the 3rd district of Connecti cut, has seen fit to attack these feathered friends before this august body. I am willing to concede that the honorable CPU Soapbox Readjustment, By Henry Adams If j'ou're looking for a job anywhere this year, you'll have a harder time of it than any year since the war. That long predicted postwar slump may be with us to stay. UNC students looking for jobs will definitely feel the pinch. Unemployment has been stead ily climbing in the last few months. It is estimated that two to three millions are now out of work. More workers are draw ing unemployment claims today than any time since 1942. Almost every major industry is laying off workers. The postwar boom has up to now made it possible for men laid off to find work elsewhere, but with the slacken ing of the demand for labor to day people out of jobs are out of luck. Unemployment is just one as pect of the new economic picture that has been developing in recent months. The country's economic system is suffering a hangover from the postwar inflation jag. Producers who made whoopee with prices in the war and post war seller's market now find themselves in the cold, gray dawn of a buyer's market. The public is no longer falling over itself to pay high prices for shoddy goods. To take one example, the demand for tex tile products is off 30 - from the postwar peak, while prices for certain items have fallen as much as 50". Clothe?, shors, furniture, and other consumer goodn a;j mc-ting an apathetic demand. Sv in aiiomcbiI?s, which hav;- been th 2 har 'est iL-m of all to cpt in ths .va.- mar ket, no longer command grey market premiums. Some makes can be bought without waiting for delivery.

AND OU JS- Wd' - W Jifllllv KNOW WHAT gentleman may not have real ized the enormity of the, in justice, but one should look (laughter) before one leaps (rising applause). The distinguished gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Mc Guire) arose before this body yesterday and said we should give more thought and atten tion to colleagues who are ill. He suggested we should send them "Get Well" cards. Well and good. This shows the distinguished gentleman's heart is in the right place. But, Mr. Speaker, he threw in a gratuitous insult to our great vulture population. He said, Mr. Speaker, and I quote: "At the present time our ailing colleagues must feel that their colleagues are hovering Not Collapse er crops have brought wheat down from about $3 a bushel to $2.25, and cattle from $37 to $23 per 100 pounds. Many com modities would have dropped fur ther except for government sup ports. From ' surface indications it might appear that the country is right back where it was in 1929, right at the beginning of another depression. The fall in prices and demand looks omi nous, if we study the beginnings of past business crises. However, there are some new factors in the present situation which make comparisons invalid. For one thing, heavy spend ing by government promises to check any general decline be fore it goes far. A federal bud get of at least $40 billion dollars is in the cards for next year, and there is little chance of its being below that figure. The need for new schools, roads and pub lic works which went unfulfilled during the war has still not been met. Housing, especially for low-income groups, is millions of units short It will take many years for building to catch up with this demand. Public aid to hous ing is becoming recognized as necc-sssry if the country is to provide decent accomodations for, all its citzens. Should unemploy ment become a problem, it is to be expected that public housing would be pushed to take up the slack. In any case, home-building, both public and private will doubtless continue at a high rate for some time to- come. The general impression that emerges from current economic is that we are going through a temporary postwar readjustment, but unsatisfied public demand, and government spending, will keep it from becoming another 1929-variety collapse. over them like vultures ... so they can edge up a place on some particular committee." On behalf of our vultures I resent this, Mr. Speaker. I challenge the gentleman from Connecticut to name a single vulture who ever tried to edge up a place on a committee. This is a clear case of slan der, Mr. Speaker. If I were a rabble-rouser I would stand be fore this distinguished body and cry: "Vultures, of Amer ica, arise!" Tobacco tycoon Reynolds, who used to be treasurer of the Democratic National com mittee, has made a niche for himself in the sports world. He is also married into the sports fraternity. His second wife, known on the stage as Marianne O'Brien, is the stepdaughter of Abe At tell, once featherweight cham pion of the world. Little Abe, who held this title for nine years, is still quite a character around New York, although he is hitting his mid-sixties. He's as spry as a colt. He's also full of reminis cence. The other night in Toots Shors he was matching fight reminiscences with. Teddy Hayes, former trainer of Jack Dempsey. They got taking about fight ers being baited silly. Mr. Attell contended that the knockout with the most pro tracted effects was administer ed to Kingfish Levinsky about 10 years ago by Joe Louis. "Levinsky was out cold - in his dressing room for more than two hcurs after Louis tagged him," said Mr. Atwell, dreamily. "It must have been a lovely punch. "They finally got Levinsky into a shower and dressed. His trainer figured a walk in the air might do him- some good. . . "They continued to stride through the downpour. The trainer was about to call it off, convinced his charge was back to rationality, when Le vinsky stretched out his hand and felt the raindrops. " 'Say,' he said, 'don't you think this rain will hurt at- tndaneo when we go to the Lght tonight?' " A bunch of heavy lenders from the Economic Coopera tion administration were be fore th3 Senate Foreign Rela tions committee asking for more billicns to give away. Naturally, since they were only asking for our economic life bleed, they didn't cause much excitement. In fact, Chairman Tom Connally be came so bored at all the talk over a few paltry billions he picked up his newspaper and buried himself in it.

Incidentally, our next mee ing will come in the near future, in which we will discuss the possibility of arming each Communist on campus with an atomic bomb so as to enable him to get higher marks on "pop" quizes. Dwight E. Bunn Textile Industry Defended Editor: Mr. Myers, an instructor in French, has written that we should soak the rich, namely the tobacco, textile, and furniture industries in North Carolina, who have wrung enormous profits out of their workers' sweat. This same thought is contained in a pamphlet about the textile industry entitled "the Nation's Most Prosperous Industry" published about a year ago by the Textile Workers Union of America, CIO. Using the information contained in the statistical tables of this pamphlet I find that the average annual profit made by the textile industry over the 19-year period 1929-1947 (a repre sentative period of boom and bust) amounts to the tremendous sum of 3 cents on each dollar of sales. Further examination discloses that this Zk cents was used as follows: (1) one plus cents was paid in dividends to stockholders (who used it among other things to pay state taxes and to send their children to the state university to study French and other subjects); (2) one plus cents was reinvested in better and larger plants; (3) one plus cents was saved as a reserve for a rainy day. Take it away Mr. Myers and the TWUA (CIO), take it away and let some political scientists run the country's business. I feel certain they wouldn't make 3Vz cents profit on each dollar's sale! William E. Lofiin Malicious Gossip Editor: Why didn't Wink Locklair condense his article and merely say that Margaret O'Brien is a poor actress and that she is illegitimate. It seems a needless waste of space to devote two columns to an article which approaches, or might even be rightly labeled, malicious gossip. As for Locklair's contention that O'Brien is an insincere actresswhat difference does it make what the real emotions of an actor or actress are as long as he or she gives the desired impression to the audience?
