Delamar, acting presi dent of the club, and stated that the "increase in tuition in our state-supported schools has con siderably disturbed many of our people who are deeply concern ed with the possibility that a number of our young men and women will not, for financial rea sons be able to attend an insti tution of higher learning. "The state-supported schools have always been in the logical choices of students from low-income families and of a large number of 'self-help students," the club declared. "A dollar more or less is of the greatest import ance to these students and their families. High costs of food, cloth ing, textbooks and other items could well make an increase in tuition the straw that breaks the camel's back. "Some of our most astute pro fessional people are the products of the state schools. Our need for certain of these categories is not and -cannot be filled. A tuition increase may well provide an effective block to prevent the materialization of brilliant engin eers, chemists, architects, textile experts, agriculturists, artists, government experts, pharmacists and others of equal importance. "So many of these specialists come from humble homes of small means that the state of North Carolina would, in effect be discarding some of its most valuable raw materials because it is usually true that those with limited means strive the harder for success."

He has also written a semi-weekly col umn, "This and That," on the editorial page for the past 15 months.

He was discharged from the Army in Germany and re mained in Bremerhaven as a War Department civilian for a year where he served as assistant public relations officer for the Bremen Enclave and as editor of the eight-page weekly, the 17th Reporter.

I saw deer, bear, elk, grouse, and partridge in large numbers. Sometimes, you had to work . a ways back into the woods to get a decent shot at them, but often the game will come right up to the camp itself. "Of course, Cal was with me all the time," said Fleming, re ferring to Cal Woodard, of Wil son, "but still, if I'd made the trip alone, I would have met a lot of other fellows from colleges all over the country, who'd gone up to work there for the summer, some of whom belonged to my fraternity."

MacIVER Democratic Ideas Backed By Maclver Declaring that there is no eco nomic or political democracy, but only one kind a way of govern ing and being governed Dr. Robert M. Maclver, Lieber pro fessor of political philosophy and sociology in Columbia university, told a Hill hall audience last night that "democracy, in a word, liberates human nature. All other forms of government inevitably distort humanity." Dr. Maclver, who delivered the first of the annual series of three Weil lectures on American Citi zenship here, said "when democ racy fails, it is not .because its principle is faulty, but only be cause men are too short-sighted or interest-blinded to understand what it means." When democracy fails it is not the common man alone who suf fers most, he said, "but the true elite among men the thinkers, the artists, men of deep faith and generous hearts and a free spirit in short, the creators of all that has enriched and ennobl ed mankind." Dr. Maclver was-introduced by Dr. Frank Graham, president of the University. Chancellor Robert House presided. Giving three lectures on suc cessive nights, Dr. Maclver's gen eral topic is "Perils to American Heritage of Democracy."

The bill proposed includes several objections to socialized medicine as "whereas" clauses. It criticises the socialization idea first on the grounds that it would eliminate parsonal interest of a physican in a patient. . .

Upon accepting the CP nomina tion, Talley said: "If elected I will consider it my duty to make the Student legislature operate smoothly and to assure the passage of the Cam pus party's campaign platform. "The legislature is infamous for the careless and indifferent attitude of its members. I shall demand that committee chairmen perfonn their duties and I will strive to secure the active par ticipation of all 50 legislators. A few members of the legislature have done all the work in the past while the majority sit back idly and refuse to give their vot ers the representation they are entitled to expect."
