CAROLINA 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. 3fie J40TEL JJoili Dlih Weclt lo MINNESOTA 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. Minnesota Daily.

LINCOLN FRIDAY KVKNINO Phi Kappa Psi Formal Party OREGON 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.

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. Iowa State Daily Student.

J era, buy r,i on 0 Bu L2)n TEXAS 50ofT.U. 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.
