Alumni Will Urge Self Government. (By Max Abernethy) Raleigh, April 15. Improvements at the State educational and charit able institutions and roadwork greatly desired during the next four years by Governor Morrison are not to be held up long ;pending the re turn to normalcy of the money mar ket. Should the governor's trip with Treasurer Lacy to New York City, where the greatest financial heads are to be talked -to, fail to produce results and it develops that, a "watch ful waiting" policy should be adopt ed, a way will be found to finance the improvement program already blue printed. "Whether it will be necessary to press into service emergency meas ures cannot be determined until gov ernor and the treasurer return to the capitol and make their report. Governor Morrison has already been assured that State bonds will be purchased in an amount sufficient to float roadwork and improvements at the University, Greensboro College for Women, State College and the various State elementary institutions. This is going to be done through the efforts of friends of the governor who are anxious to see the Morrison ad ministration a success, which is aside from their patriotic interest in their mother StEte. In the governor's weekly appointed highway commission he has some of the best financial brains of the State and it is by and with their aid that the State's bonds will, if necess ary be hanSled within the confines of Tarheelia. From the following list the governor may beat the bond buy ers of New York City and start road building and improvements during the summer months: John Sprunt Hill of Durham; W. A. Hart of Tar boro; Word H. Wood of Charlotte; J. Elwood Cox of High Point. Indictment of R. H. McComb, Hick ory student at State College for par ticipation in an alleged hazing epi sode at the West Raleigh institution two weeks ago, has brought from friends of the college about the cap itol the suggestion that student self government oaght to be tried. Trial of the student, who is doubt less not more guilty than six or eight others but who is the only one the grand jury, following an investi gation, has been able to have any thing upon, will not be commenced until the next regular term of Wake county superior court next month. It may be that by that time the in vestigation which Solicitor Harris has indicated he will conduct will cause the arrest of others. The hazing at the eollege here has not been any worse, according to President W. C. Riddick, than at other institutions In North Carolina, but it was considered by him of enough concern to call upon the superior court official to help stamp it out. Aside from hair cutting and the firing of pistols into the air the freshmen were not subjected to any other indignities. The president has indicated his desire to break up the hazing as well as the hazers. That the students at State College should be given . an opportunity to govern themselves as is done at the University is going to be urged by alumni of the institution.. The sug gestion has already reached Presi dent Riddick, Ijt.Is learned. MISSION SOCIETIES ADJOURN. High Point, April 15.
