s*$. XfeA&r* Chapel Hill has proven at the polls (the defeat of 5a t year's tax hike referendum notwithstand.ng) that il is willing to pay more than the regular fee to provide bet ter; facilities and programs for ns schdod children. A timely challenge . . . So’it was timcfy aird proper that the Governor use bis platform last Thursday to challenge the pupils them selves to take the fullest advantage of their oppor tunity to — realize tire value of and need for the best possible education — and to go after it themselves. For with the provision of adequate buildings, teachers, and cur riculum the state and local governments hate done all they can do. \ Nobody is going to GIVE the children ah educa tion.. They are going to have to work hard, study, and get: it themselves. i N|WS—THURSDAY, MARCH 7, 19«3 . ' “ * FEATURES * • «; -<t from Page One) Here's an object lesson in land * use controli There is an object lesson on land use controls to be learned from the recent actions of a group of Chapel Mill home Owners. ■■■’ .-———£-— Residents of the old, established and very attract ive Cinighoul neighborhood have formally petitioned for up-zoning of their area. They ask that their proper ty be re zoned from RA-io — the next to the lowest clas sification to RA-15. No opposition having been ex pressed at a recent public heaving on the issue, the re quest may logically be expected to be granted. So often we hear complaints against land use re strictions. Now here comes a <_>roup of small home own ers' with nothing but a naturally selfish interest in the situation, asking greater restrictions for their own pro tection. Local historians Will do well to make a mental note this, for to the perennial doubters of the need for and jialue of sensible zoning, this case -provides _a ready answer. Let them show the building (Editorial in The Raleigh Times) It’s time to take a look at legi lat ve employment policies, and the use of legislative employes. By custom, people on the legislative Payroll fre paid on a basis of seven days of work each week, though few of them man age to put in as much as five full days of work, especaly at the • start of the session. Last weekend, the State House was opened so that its owners—the taxpayers—could fioal'y .get in to see it. The opening was supervised by volunteers from the staff of George Cherry, head of the General Services Division of State Government, even though the legislature had specifically ordered that Cherry not he permitted to supervise op-ration of the build ing. Why, therefore, since Cherry was to have nothing to do with operation of the building, should he be1 charged with the respon sibility of looking after the building on the weekend so that the public could see it? Why not have Some of the sevet-day-a^week legislative employes on hand to take the people through the build tag? If the legislative employes are to be paid for^even days a week, they shouldn’t mind working seven days. And, a legislator has the legal right for a relative to be on the legislative payroll. Whether it’s smart for a son or a daugh ter or a wife of a legislator to be on the payroll Is open to ques tion. Thomas J. White Jr,, son of the Senator from Lenior, is on the Senate payroll in the Senate Printed Bill Office. He has been Notepad (Continued from Page 1) spoken out oh this point—they could try to offer a quiet hoss trade with tl»- administration. This Newsman’s opinion is thair the IraUo would be turnel down — cold; though the prof fer is not an unlikely develop ment. Another liability - potential cf the current session of this leg islature is the proposed name change for N. C. State College. The danger this Newsman has sensed in the whole same change hassle was that rocking The boat on this issue "Wghf sink the ship. That is, it wou d obviously 'be more advisable from the standpoint of sheer logic to designate the Universi ty by its three campuses — at on the payroll since February 4, two days before the sess on started. HL=t pay is $13 a day. If Senator White wants” his son tc have a spot on the Senate payroll, he has a right to do so. Undoubtedly, he will be reminded of that fact if he decides to go through with his plan to run f:r Lieutenant-Governor in 1964. And, he should be reminded of it. Those who dance in 1963 in the Stats House should be willing to hear the echoes of the piper during the 1964 campaign. Greensboro, Chajpei JfiH; and Raleigh* At' the situation new stands the University administration will seek the lengthy "North . Carolina Stele, the University : of North Carolina at Raleigh" as a third-choice compromise name. This is also a less-than first choice for State College patrons. In the last few days they’ve again started cranking up the name - wagon for their special status handle of "North Caro lina State University.” To grant this would be a consequence that would put the Greater Unt versity farther back than it was before the name business was ever brought up in the first place.
