TO Gordon Gray Requests For S 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 No Drinking Coeds axe reminded to ob- the Inlerfraternily Court carve rule prohibiting the drinking of alcoholic beverages on rraier nity property. Phin Horlon. spokesman for the IFC. yesterday said al- though there were no reports cf violations this past week-end. the IFC thought it best to re mind coeds of the rule. Million tudent Union Advisory Budget Commission,' 'They Got Oil Aldai's Not Demos Only Funny Boy 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.

AHl If. BRIES" NEW YORK Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower's headquarters an nounced yesterday that he will make public his entire financial situation.

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 picture on page four.) 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.

No Murderers Among Chapel Hill Policemen Search For 10 Escapees, A search for 10 convicts who sawed their way out of the Or ange County prison camp near Hillsboro Sunday was concen trated yesterday here and in Dur ham. None of the 10, one of whom is a Durham man, had been captured by early yesterday afternoon.

Good Book's Gonna Be Better New Version Of Bible Will Say Things So All Con Understand - By Tom Parramore j 5.Anevrsipn J 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." ysical I m provem I 4 mmm ' of "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 98 Coeds Atten ush Week Kickoff One hundred and ninety eight new coeds attended the Panhel lenic Tea Sunday afternoon, in dicating their desire to go through rush.
