Raleigh head
rails out-of-state
tuition
In Raleigh yesterday afternoon
at the hearing before the joint
House and Senate appropriation
committees on the university ap
. propriation, . President Graham
said, "In the Federal union, now
as when .it, was founded, the inter
change of ,, commerce among the
several states has been a major
consideration, as well as the in
1 terchange of ideas." He was
speaking of the proposal to raise
the tuition paid by out-of-state
students.
President Graham recognized
the fact that, not only do we oper
ate state universities on the prin
ciple that there is a definite
amount of reciprocity in the mat
'. ter of students from one state go
' ing to the state universities of
other states, but also that we at
North Carolina have something to
gain in the interchange of cultures
and ideas as well as something to
give in the way of an education.
And those students who enter
the University of North Carolina
from outride the state are very
carefully chosen; this year over
bO percent" of the total applica
tions for admission were rejected,
and the year before, over 40 per
cent were turned down. The num
ber of out-of-state applications ar
increasing, each year.
Those who are admitted to the
university must qualify in at least
three very important respects:
1. The quality of the work done
by the prospective student must
be above average.
2. If he lives in a section where
there are alumni representatives
of the university, he must be rec
ommended by at least one of these
3. Any students who are likely
to become self-help students are
discouraged from attending the
university, and are usually refused
admission, since Carolina cannot
afford to assume responsibility for
the support of students coming
fiom outside of the state.
With this stringent basis for se
lection of our out-of-state popula
tion, it might be expected that the
scholastic average of such a group
would be high, and the figures
bear out this expectation.
In the past fall quarter 20.6 per
cent of the student body came
from other states, but 39.9 per
cent of the honor roll came from
this same group. The percentage
of ineligibles among the out-of-state
students was approximately
proportionate to the number en
rolled, being 30 per cent.
In two other quarters, for which
only the honor roll statistics are
available, the facts brought out
above are further solidified. The
fall qu. rter, 1937, showed that
43.2 percent of the honor roll wax
composed of out-of-state students,
while they made up only 30.8 per
cent of the total enrollment; the
winter quarter in 1938 ended 34.4
per cent out-of-state on the honor
roll. 30.6 in school.
We are getting the "cream of
the crop" as far as out-of-state
students are concerned; and these
students have a definite contribu
tion to make to the education
which is offered by a state univer
sity primarily for the citizens of
that state. At the same time we
are building in these "visitors" a
better understanding of North
f!nrnlin and the South. Anv cur
tailment In this "department of
our education" would be an un
healthy one for the university and
the soum. uaiiy lar neei.
An Oberlin colleee committee
has just passed a ruling which
says that the colleee flag must
be- flown when college is in ses
sion or on special holidays.

Poor Adolf VMein
Kampf will not
mean Mein Geld'
When Adolf Hitler, man of des
tiny, learned some days ago that
he would receive no royalties from
the American publication of his
book, "Mein Kampf," he was very
incensed. It' is rumored that he
immediately rushed out, purged
three high army officials, and let
out a roar which was heard, some
say, as far off as Brooklyn.
It is to be feared, however, that
no amount of roaring will do him
any good. Publisher William Sos
kin of Stackpole Sons has given
Hitler's copyright application a
thorough going-over, and he has
found that the fuehrer's literary
agent, in making it out, has re
ferred to Hitler in one place as a
"stateless German" and in another
as an Austrian. As a stateless
German, Hitler has no right to
the protection of the American
copyright law, and it is on this
technicality that the publishers
have seized. The Stackpole presses
are clanking merrily away these
days and before the end of Febru
ary, "Mein Kampf" should be
ready for release.
Altho an expurgated edition of
"Mein Kampf" has been on the
market for almost five years, the
blue pencil and the wagging fin
ger have rendered it almost tooth
less. The new edition, entirely
uncensored and in the full glory
of its megalomanic youth, should
be in the nature of a revelation to
an eager and waiting American
public.
Meanwhile, it would not be
crawling out on a limb to prophesy
that "Mein Kampf" will be a best
seller; that is a virtual certainty.
All we can do now is sit back and
hope that Hitler, in a burst of
righteous fury, does not sever dip
lomatic relations with Stackpole
Sons. He has done it for less.

Help the poor
guys when old
1
age comes
Mention the idea that a hard
pressed college boy, earning his
board or part of it by waiting on
table or washing dishes, should be
obliged to pay an old age insur
ance tax, in order to provide him
with a theoretical old age pen
sion when he reaches the age of
65, and you are greeted with a
wan, incredulous effort to per
petrate a rather poor joke. Yet
this is exactly what a solemnly
paternalistic government at
Washington, probably unintention
ally it is true, has decreed.
A Great Help.
Under the broad general provi
sions of the federal social security
act, each fraternity must pay 2
percent of its pay roll (or the
equivalent of pay in board, in or
der to safeguard the latters years
of such of its members as are
given jobs to help them to pay
for their meals. There is already
a section of the law exempting
employees of educational institu
tions but under a technicality this
does not cover fraternity waiters.
The act further provides for a
gradual increase in this old age
insurance tax to 6 percent by 1948.
To meet these payments frater
nities will be forced eventually to
cut down on either wages or jobs,
hurting those who most need fi
nancial help. Thus is higher edu
cation encouraged.
Sense of Justice.
And that is not all. The law
provides in addition that a federal
unemployment tax of 3 percent
shall be levied on fraternity pay
rolls where there are eight or more
employees. No one has yet discov
ered any possible return to be de
rived from this tax since it would
take more than the ingenuity of
a Philadelphia lawyer to determine
just what constitutes unemploy
ment in college. Can a college
waiter be considered unemployed
if he spends the summer vacation
in more pleasurable pursuits? lne
legislators who passed this gener
ally meritorious act are not, how
ever, to be blamed for the palp
able absurdity of applying it to
undergraduate fraternity employ
ees, as there is little reason to be
lieve that they ever intended the
general provisions to include the
student waiter.
As the law now stands, the aver
age chapter maintaining a private
dining room with undergraduate
help, will be taxed about 5125 a
year, unless the fraternities can
combine to bring their case effec
tively and Immediately before the
national law makers. That the so
cial security board should recom
mend, and congress enact, amend
ments exempting student employ
ees from the taxable pay roll is
earnestly to be hoped for if there
is any sense of humor, not to
mention sense of justice, in Wash
ington. Oregon Emerald.

Cupid exists
amid cyclones
Cupid lurks in every nook and
cranny of the Iowa State campus,
if figures don't lie. Statistics gath
ered by Grace Pohlman, '24, of the
Alumni office, show that 63.2 per
cent of the women graduating, in
three key years who have mar
ried have husbands who are also
alumni.
According to her records, 94 per
cent of the women who were grad
uated in 1910 have married. Fifty-one
and five-tenths percent
maried Iowa State men. Men in
that graduating class, it might be
significant to note, outnumbered
the women by 175 to 33, or bet
ter than 6 to 1.

students vote
no third term
The university student body haa
yet to make up its mind for a
national presidential choice for the
1940 election.
Early in January students voted
in the Bureau of Student Opinion
poll 49.8 percent for a "liberal
New Dealer." Thirty-four percent
nodded to Vice President John N.
Garner.
Last week's referendum asked:
"Would you like to have V
Roosevelt elected for a third
term?"
Many in their reply paid respects
to the third term precedent as
they answered:
No third term 58.8
Third term desirable. . .36.7
No opinion 4.5
The local sentiment voiced in
this week's poll shows an 8.5 per
cent gain over the 28.2 percent
figure set by the Student Opinion
Surveys of America in their na
tionwide poll. The American In
stitute (Gallup roll) gave third
term 30 percent.
Last December when polled on
the third term question, university
students said: No, 64 percent; Yes,
31.6 percent. That question which
asked, "Would you like to see
Roosevelt run for a third term?"
was found in the Bureau's system
of accuracy control to be vague
in that some respondents who
didn't favor the president ex
pressed their desire fo sec him
run so he would be defeated.
