UNC Celebrates Its
150th Anniversary
University of North Carolina alum
ni of this section were interested
this week in the celebration held in
the iState Capitol in Raleigh, of the
150th anniversary of the opening of
the institution in 1795.
The ceremonies were held ii the
Hall of the House of Representatives
Monday night, January 15, at 8
o'clock, with Lieut.-Gov. L. Y. 3al
lentine, president pro-tem of the
Senate, and Representative Oscar
Richardson, Speaker of the House,
presiding jointly. Members of the
General Assembly and as many
guests as could be accommodated
were present.
The principal speakers were Gov
ernor R. Gregg Cherry, President
Clarence K. Dykstra of the Univer
sity of Wisconsin, and President
Frank P. Graham of the University
of North Carolina.
Victor S. Bryant of Durham,
chairman of the Legislative Com
mission on the Sesquicentennial,
gave a brief address on the signific
ance of the occasion, and Dean of
Administration Robert B. House of
the University at Chapel Hill, intro
duced President Dykstra.
Pointing out that the University
of North Carolina was the first
State university in the nation to open
its doors to students, Governor
Cherry, President Dykstra and
President Graham stressed the point
that the University is truly a child
of v the American Revolution, for it
was conceived in the year of Inde
pendence and born with the founding
of the Republic (1789).
Up to that time, they said, educa
tion had been for the privileged few.
Almost every commonwealth has
followed North Carolina's example
with a State University and these in
stitutions have been one of the na
tion's most powerful forces in trans
lating into action the concept of de
mocracy enunciated in the Declara
tion of 1776.
Truckers Need Not
Renew Certificates

operators are good indefinitely until

on an annual basis, the District Of

Raleigh declared this week.
Under ODT regulations, operators
do not have to have their certificates
reissued unless they propose to
change the character of their ser
vices or the territories for which the
present certificates were issued, ODT
said.

No Treaty of Peace Will Satisfy

United States:

This is an important observation if
enough people believe it. Obviously,
if no treaty 01 peace will satisfy
everybody, no treaty of peace will
satisfy the people of the United
States one hundred per cent.

The most objectionable feature is
the practice of some interests to set
up a "front" organization for poli
tical activity, depending for its ef
fectiveness upon the secrecy as to
the sources of its income.
There have been numerous in
stances of committees formed, under
high-sounding titles, apparently of
unselfish design, but representing
nothing but propaganda which would
lose its effectiveness if distributed by
its sponsor.
