Requests

By John Jamison
RALEIGH, Sept. 29 "For some strange reason the State
has done little for student activities at Chapel Hill," said Pres
ident Gordon Gray here this morning in presenting the 1953-54
budset requirements of the Consolidated University.
Gray, speaking before the
pleaded the case for the physical
improvements needed at the three j
institutions.
He recommended for the Uni
versity at Chapel Hill a $1,200,000
allocation for a student union
building, pointing out that up to
now facilities for student activi
ties at UNC have been provided
from private funds and are ser
iously insufficient because of in
creases in enrollment since their
construction.
An auditorium-armory capable
of accommodating the entire stu
dent body, was recommended at
$1,500,000. This building would
provide an assembly hall for the
Student Entertainment series and
lectures to the student body spon
sored by various organizations
on campus.
As it was presented today, the
proposed budget for the Consoli
dated University totals over 18
million dollars.
Gray complained with special
vigor about the seats in Memo
rial Hall. "Those seats are the
same ones which were used in the
first building to occupy that site.
They are now about 67 years
old." Forty-six thousand, one
hundred dollars has been recom
mended for providing new seats
for this auditorium.
The budget request submitted
today will be studied in detail by
the Commission. This group will
make any changes in the recom
mendations which seem necessary
and will present the revised re
quest or the total request to the
General Assembly in January.
Should the projected budget
pass the Advisory Budget Com
mission and the General Assembly
construction of the various build
ings still would probably not get
under way until July 1, 1953, the
beginning of the next fiscal year.
Chief items regarding perman
ent improvements at Woman's
College were an art building,
$950,000; General College class
room building, $750,000; addition
to the music building, $478,000,
and a new dormitory, $500,000.
Another item for WC was
termed "security measures in
Market St. Woods Area, $60,000."
This would include moving the
main campus entrance to Mar
ket Street and surrounding the
woods with some type of growing
fence.
"This would give the Woman's
College campus an integrity which
it does not now enjoy," Gray
said.
Improvements recommended
for State College included a
General College classroom, $780,
000: military science building,
$600,000; an addition to Thompson
Gymnasium, $500,000, ana iacin
ties for the School of Design,
$540,000.
A total of $2,538,000 was re
quested for the Division of Health
a ot r.hanel Hill. Chief
Lilian o -v
item in this division would pro
vide $l,010,00p for a new phar
macy building and equipment

As spokesman for yesterday's
budget request before the Ad
visory Budget Commission in
Raleigh, President Gordon Gray
was obliged to say a few words
about his own salary.
Upon the aCvlse of a Trustee
committee, Gray pointed out to
the commission that he was
offered a salary, of $17,500 to be
come president of the consoli
dated University. His present
salary is $12,360. This was men
tioned along with a request
for general increases in the sala
riesof top-level administrators
in the University.
- In the course of his explana
tion Gray pointed out that Dr.
Logan Wilson, vice-president of
the University, will receive a
salary higher than any men
tioned in yesterday's meeting
when he becomes president of
the University of Texas.
Gov. W. Kerr Scott was heard
to say, "They got oil in Texas."
Night Spot
Getting Set
To Reopen
The Carolina Club will reopen
tonight after a $1,500 fire closed
its doors last Wednesday morning.
Don Forbes, co-owner, pointed
out yesterday afternoon that the
Chapel Hill Fire Department is
not permitted to leave the city
limits, so the owners, along with
host of helpful neighbors,
hooked up a garden hose and ex
tinguished the blaze, but not be
fore it had done considerable
damage.
Forbes said 300 fee of ceiling
in the main room have been re
placed along with the cash re
gister and a number of signs that
were melted during the fire.
To celebrate the reopening to
night, couples will be treated to
all the drought beer they can
consume during the evening. A
price tag of $2.48 was attached to
the offer.

nounced yesterday that he will
make public his entire financial
situation. The Republican presi
dential candidate thus accepted
an implied challenge from Gov.
Adlai E. Stevenson of Illinois, the
Democratic presidential nominee,
to bare the status of his finances
Stevenson made public Sunday
his income and tax payments for
the past 10 years. (See related

WASHINGTON Former Atty.
Gen J. Howard McGrath denied
yesterday a Congressional charga
that he sabotaged the administra
tion's anti-corruption drive last
spring. McGrath was ousted from
President Truman's cabinet a few
hours after he had summarily fir
ed Newbold Morris as chief cor
ruption hunter. A House Judici
ary subcommittee has been try
ing ever since to find out just
what happened.
ABOARD TRUMAN TRAIN
PresideritJIJuman yesterday bit
terly denounced Gen. Dwight .D.
Eisenhower's charges of corrup
tion in government by calling him
a 'front man for an unholy crew"
of lobbyists using that issue as "a
political football." Truman tore
loose wtih one of his most scath
ing attacks on the Republican
presidential nominees in a whis
tle stop-speech at Fargo, N. D.,
where he told a trainside crowd
they'd better hesitate about re
turning the Republicans to power
if they "want to avoid a third
world war."
PARIS Gen. Matthew B. Ridg-
way disclosed yesterday a serious
lack of Allied air base facilities
in Western Europe and put the
major share of the blame on
France. The Allied commander in

"rock-bottom minimum" of air
fields needed for defense against
any Russian attack.

American Sabre jets knocked
down two Communist MIG-15 jet

Good Book's Gonna Be Better
New Version Of Bible Will Say
Things So All Con Understand
- By Tom Parramore

will take the dullness out of
Scripture study.
The lowdown on the new edi
tion was heard yesterday from
Dr. Bernard Boyd, 'head of the
Religion Department here. He
spoke to a ? YWCA Cabinet
meeting.
The most striking change in
the new edition, which goes on
sale today, is that it largely
is in poetry, Dr. Boyd said. He
said the reason for this is that
"we become poetic in the en
deavor to express feelings and
truths which are so deep as to
be nearly unexpressible.
"I become poetic when I
talk of Jesus because it is the
strongest thing I know1. Just so
for a Jeremiah or a Luke. They
were talking about eternal
truths which refuse the limi
tations of mere prose."
Dr. Boyd's talk included a
discussion and evaluation of
the new Bible. He blamed the
dullness of present day Bible
study partly on professors, part
ly on students for not being able
to transfer a written page into
a living experience, and partly
on the editors of our present
Bible who have made pages too
thin, printing too small, and
form too unintelligible for clear
understanding.
He said that clianges in the
new Bible have been made only
to clarify ambiguous statements.
Them
where by mingling with thou
sands of newly-arrived students
they would be difficult to spot.
Brack Craig, veteran superin
tendent of the camp, reported
that bloodhounds apparently fol
lowed a group of the escapees
along the railroad tracks and
footpaths almost to Carrboro be
fore the trail vanished in a Ne
gro section some two miles from
Chapel Hill.
State Prisons Director Walter
Anderson described the fugitives
as "mostly burglars and highway
robbers." He said none of them
apparently was armed and
don't believe there were any mur
derers among them."

"It says things in the kind of
words you and I hear everyday,"
he commented.
Dr. Boyd opened his lecture
by urging "practicing the pre
cedence of God" despite the
multiplicity of college interests.
He said other interests should
not be disregarded but that re
ligion should be primaryl He al
so suggested the beginning of a
program of regular Bible read
ing, which would be infinitely
easier with the new version.
"There are only three reli
gious alternatives for the mo
dern man," Boyd stated. "These
are Buddhism, Mohammeda
nism, and Christianity."
He went on to explain that
Christianity was the only loci
cal choice of the three, since
the other two religions do not
necessarily depend on the exis
tence of a God, and that we
must believe in an ominpotent

tomorrow night. All girls are in
vited to these first parties.
Invitations will be picked up
throughout rush at the Panhel
post office in the Horace Williams
Lounge, Graham Memorial. At
the time invitations are picked
up, rushees also may sign up for
the-time at which they wish to
attend each party. !
Thursday and Friday there will
be . five parties, so - one sorority
must be omitted. Three of these
parties will be on Thursday night
and two on Friday night.
Saturday is a day of rest and
four parties are on. the agenda
for Sunday. By decreasing the
number of parties in this gradual
way, Panhellenic hopes to give
both rushees and sorority mem
bers plenty of time to make de
cisions, its officers say.
Next Monday there will be only
three "parties followed by a day
of rest on Tuesday. On Wednes
day and Thursday, Oct. 8 and 9
there will be a dinner party each
night, and on Friday Oct. 10. All

and second choice. Preferentials
will also be signed at the Panhel
