Student Growth Outpaces Outlays

A good many things may happen to the budgetary requests presented by East Carolina College to the Advisory budget Commission before the final appropriations are made by the 1961 General Assembly.

In subsequent considerations of the requests by eommissions, boards^ and even legislative committees thefe are a few cardinal points which should remain paramount.

The needs outlined in East Carolinas budget requests for the next biennium represent a realistic evaluation of the capital outlay needs of the college if it is to meet in A reasonable manner the increasing demands made upon it. Applications for new enrollment at East Carolina for the school year which begins this fall is 46 per cent above that of the past year.

This increase follovvs a pattern of several years which has seen the colleges enrollment grow at a rate unequalled by any other major institution of higher learning in North Carobna.

While the capital outlay appropriations for East CIrolina''college in recent years have been far above that of the previous decade, the rate with which physical facilities at the college have been Improved and expanded has not kept pace with the rate of growth of the college in terms of student enrollment.

Capital improvements now being requested by East Carolina represent those needs which can be rea-

By LYNN NI8BET BLIND AND DEAF North Carolina maintiinfi two irmtitu* tiona (actually threei ior the education of the blind and the deaf. A school for white blind is situated in Raleigh, and under the same administration is the school for Negro blind and deaf four or five miles out on the Garner rod. A school for wmte deaf IS located at Mor-gahton, under a separate board of trustee- The appropriation for operating these schools is nearly three and a quarter mU-lion dollars a year.

Morganton has 3i? acres, 50 in the developed campus the rest in pasture and crops- Continuation of the farming operations is of doubtful wisdom, according to budgeteers. two years aeo Governor Hodges suggest-^ ed selling the white campus at Raleigh for industrial development and moving the school to the country- The idea didn't **take'* and was not pursued-the Morganton school asked fur no capital improvements, except reoiacement of the clock system at 110,ooowhich might be reelasMd as repairs.

The White school at Raleigh flcCds substantial replacement of eltctrlcal equipment, renovation of the auditorium and minor other llittis; the colored School needs a new boiler and other equipment for a total of |3l6,dOd. Tbi School buys electric current from Dorothea Din HospHal, but must maintain its

own cimpus distribution system. iBXistint lines installed 38 years ago are inadequate for the load imposed by radio, talking books" and other requisites of modern teaching-ComplacencyFalse complacency on part of the public poses a serious threat to privately financial souicea of funds to fight polio and tuberculosis.

Administrators at the orthopedic hospitai.s told advisory budget folks L there had been I noticeable die.) off in March Of Dimes contributions aince discovery of Salk vaccine.

The TB*. sanatoria doctors Point to drop in funds for research and prevention of that disease because of the false notion that the tremendous decline In death rate indicates the great white plague'* has been licked. The fact is, that while deaths have dropped from 20 per 100,000 patients to a mea-ter eight per 10.WW, the incidence of tubelculoFls is as heavy as ever- NeWly discovered drugs and treatment methods have reduced the deathi and the seriousness of impact, but bave not reduced the number of affected people.

A considerable percentage of

ciUi and continuing research is necessary to keep them from becoming active. The success of experiments during the past quarter century has reacted to cause a let down In pubUo concern.

Refusal of the National Foundation to participate la united fund campaigns has contributed to the decuae in polio coatrlbu* tions-

Another significant facior, which doctors talk about only in whispers, is the growing concept of socialised medicine. More and more people are taking the attitude that tax receipts should provide the money for research and treatment. An a consequence they are leas generous with contributions to the non-twx agencies-

NAMEB-the itate Board of Hospital Control last year adopted the policy of naming each of the units in the mental hospital system under its control for some person who had made great contribution toward the care and treatment of the mentally ill,

Btate Hospital at Raleigh became the fjorothea Dik Hospital: State Hospital at Morganton became the Broughton Hospital State Hospital at Goldsboro became the Cherry Hospital, and State Hospital at Butner became the John W. mstead Hospital' Butner and Goldsboro training schools were named the dames W. Murdoch and the O Berry schools, The name of Caswell School at Kinston was retained, and the proposed Western North Carolina School at Morganton may later be named for an individual.

The educational institutions all carry nam^ indicating geographic location. Several of these have implications of restrictions which do not apply. That is particularly true of the Negro teacher colleges. The colleges at Eliiabeth City and Fayetteville have the state designation in their corporate names, but the Wlnston-Saiem Teachers College implies a purely local institution.

There is question of propriety in naming a large public tax supported institution for a person, especially .for a living person. At the same time. It is recOgni2JCd that the personal names give a warm human connotation not indicated by the cold designation of a State institution.

It is suggested that thcue should be uniform policy within one Control system For example, there Is the Stonewall Jack-Son Training School at.Concord, the Morrison Training School at Hoffman, the Leonard Training school at .MeCalh, the State Home and Industrial School for Girls at Samarcand, the State Training School for Negro Girls at Kinston, and Eastern Carolina Training School for Bovs at Rocky Mountall under the Stale Board of Correction and Training.

sonably predicted for the next biennium, and if the raie of growth continues to Increase *ftt the college, even the current requestg will be inadequate to meet all the needs by the time the proposed facilities are ready for use.

It must also be kept in mind that while East Carolina Collegfe is looked upon by some as an area Institution, it serves not just one section of the state, but the state as a whole. The geographic area from which it draws large numbers of students has constantly broadened, and there is every indication that increa.ing numbers of young people from the Piedmont and Western sections of the state as well as from the east look to East Carolina for their college education.

In the intere.st of higher education in North Carolina as a whole, the capital outlay budget requests of Ka.st Carolina College must be accorded the consldera-tion due and Institution responsible for a significant portion of the higher education load of the state.

Countys Agricultural Outlook Encouraging

ritt Countys crops are far from harvested yet, l)Ut unless something unforeseen happens, this year promises to be one of the best in many years for the farmers of this county.

In a county which remains heavily dependent upon agriculture for its economy, it also follows that the remaining months of 1960 should bring about a rise in general economic conditions throughout this and .surrounding counties.

Most recent predictions Indicate Pitt County's tobacco crop this year may set a new record for per acre production. That would mean an increase of approximately 30 per cent from last years per-acre average of 1,500 pounds to surpass the 1958 yield of 1,021 pounds per acre. The increase in production of tobacco wdll also bring with it an increase in the value of the crop since prices this year are expected to be near those of last year in spite of the production increase.

In addition to the golden weed, the big money crop of Pitt and other Eastern counties, corn and other crops important to the economy of this section promise .to be among the best on record. On the basis of current predictions, the income from these crops should be considerably above the level of last year,

It is not too late for the crops of this county to suffer .set-backs which could cost farmers several millions in potential income, but .by and large the outlook for the 1960 crops is far and away better than was the case for last years crops. The income from agriculture in Pitt this year should soar several million dollars above that of 1969, and this increase will be reflected throughout the eceonomy of the entire county.

It is an encouraging economic picture indeed which Pitt County now has before it for the remainder of this year*

Other Editors Saying Watch That Mower

By JAMES MARLOW

CHICAGO AP) - It has taken the Republicans, as a party, six years to get around to saying they think the Supreme Court Was right In outlawing segregation in public schools. The Democrats, as a party, haven't said it yet.

The GoUrt handed down its decision May 17, 1054. The first chance either party had to corae out flatly in approval of the Courts historic and far-reaching acUon was in ihtir party platforms in the 1956 campaign. Both backed away from a flat approval.

Both parties, of course, had their eye on the Southern white vote. Too hearty an endorsement of the court ruling was a cinch to Cost votes ih the South for the party bold enough to try It.

In their 1956 platform the Republicans wouldnt go any further than saying their party aCcCpfs the decision of the U.S. Supreme Court that racial discrimination in publicly supported schools must be progressively eliminated."

this was quite a long way from saying the party approved what the court did. Fresident Eisenhower himself set the pace for such a caution by avoiding saying to this day that he approves the court.s action.

But in 1956 the Demcrata* platform was even more cagey than that of the Republicans. The Democrats, whose Southern members have been ah obstacle to civil rights legi laUon in Congress, Contented themselves with this:

"Recent decisions of the 8u-

Sretne Court of the United tales relating to segregation in publicly supported schools and elsewhere have brought * consequences of vast importance to our nation as a whole and especially to coinmunitK^ directly affected.

It was hardly news that the

court decision was going to force big changes.

Two weeks ago at Los Angeles the Democrats produced the strongest civil rights plank in their historyone whiCh may cost them some louthern white votes--but still avoided flat endorsement of what the court did in 1954.

Southern''delegates at the Democratic convention were Unhappy over the whole civil rights plank of the party. Then the Republicans moved into Chicago for their convention, ,

Southern white Republican delegates fought against any Strong ciVU rights plank, though Vice President Richard M. NiXOn iSld he wanted a firm one.

Negro leaders told the Republican* that if they expected Negro votes in the November elections, they couldnt afford to cohle out with a civil rights plank weaker than the Democrats.

For days the Republican Platform Cdmmitlee at a time when it knew the Democratic plank might Cost the Democrats some white Southern votes fiddled around with the idea of coming up With a less forihright plank than the Democrats.

In the end it produced a civil rights piank which in some Way* was a little tougher thati the Democrats' promises on civil rights and in other ways was a little softer.

But the Republicans cvil rights plank wound up being the slrongcst the party had yet produced. And, on the subject of the courts 1934 decision, the Re-p^ublicans went further than -the Dcmoerats have ever eared or

dared to go.

the Republicans said flatly; We supported the position of the Negro bcIiooI childreh even before the Supreme Court. Wg believe the Supreme Court sehoo) decision was right and should be carried out ih accordance with the mandate of the court.**

(Winatoa-saiem twin City Setttinel)

The power mower is about the most dangerous rock thrower accidents will occur this

apult. One insurance authority has estimated that 80,000 mow* cer Accidents will occur this

year, for a 12 per cent increase Over 1999, and it Is also report* ed that damage claims against mower makers are going up sharply. A debate is going on Over whether more Accidenti are due to faulty mower design or to careless handling.

But no matter how Well a rotary mower is made, if its blade hits a hard object JUst

right it can kick the objects

out at a sped of oVer 100 miles an hour. If somebody is in the path of that object-weu, call the ambulance or the hearSe.

Certainly, a moWer should ba designed so that the cover goes down oti all sides, except for the Chute opehing. far hOgh to be below the level of the blade.

,6ome mowers are not adequate in that respect, and the buyier or owner of a mower ought to check to make aure he is not being needlessly endangered by a high cover edge. Also, the chutes of some mowers are

poorly placed, and the user cin Step ihto the sU'eam of shredded grass and possible stones when he i* changing directions.

But liven an adequately covered blade and a properly aimed chute, a mower can . still maim or kill because lusers fAil to understand the- hature of the machine. Unlike the old push mower that brought doWn ihe gras.s with an almost dcli-

CAtc, scissor-likf ction And

Which could be jammed by a nail or small pebble, the rotary mower does its job by sheer brut# force. It has power with a Capital Ppower to waste. The plentiful energy of its engine is what makes It both easy and dangerous to use.

By this time, though, almost any rotary mowsr owner should know enough about the nature of his machine to avoid the more obvious hazards of letting a foot go under the blade cover, or sticking a hand under the cover to clean out lumps of grass when there is any ehance the engine might start. Such things still happen, just as inexcusable auto accidents still happen, out of pure carelessness,

But there are some dangers of which there has not been enough Understanding. Ode is of injury to persons other than the user of a mower. The chute has to Point in some direction, and even if it is aimed in a way to keep the pusher completely safe, another person could get caught in its line of fire. It is partieularly risky to allow children to play where a mower is being used. Something else to avoid is refueling a nujWer While its engine is still hot. Fires and deadly explosions have resulted from that mistake.

Maybe the best way to Understand and use a mower is to think of it the same way one thinks of a car. Make sure youre getting a good, safe One When you buy; leirn clearly how to use iti pay close attention to what youre doing when youre behind the handle; And dont mow at all when youre in no condition to drive.

No One

Funning

For '64

By GEORGE E. SOKOLSKY CopyrlfiL I960, King Features syiidicate, Inc.

The essential dlfftrence between the Republican and Democratic coaventions la that in the Democratic Convention, no one was ruhnihg for 1964. All the candidates were for current operations, It is obvious to any-(jne who closely observes political maneuvers that the strategy of Nelson Rockefellers managers is that witlwut his ardent support, the Republican candidate this year will be defeated and that in 1964, the Republican Party will turn to the oni and only man who can defeat millionaire John Kennedy and, of course, that man will be millionaire Nelson Rockefeller.

Rome fell when the emperorship became a purchaseable commodity. It is a lesson not to be ignored in this era of American history when millioti-aires, donning the garb of su-per-llberalism, spend millions to get themselves nominated and elected,

The so-called secret deal made in the late. hours of the night between Richard Nixon and Nelson Rockefeller fooled nobody. It was an effort to prevent Rockefeller from making a nuisance of himself at this Republican Convention. Vice President Nixon took this step entirely on his own. Let the fates take care of 1964as they undoubtedly will do.

What Rockefeller has to contribute politically is the assumption that he is popular In New York State and California two very important vote-getting areas, where minorities are particularly worthy of consideration. The Jewish vote is significant throughout New York Btate and m the los Angeles area of California. Nelson Rockefeller is very close to David Dubinsky. Alex Rt^e and Jacob Potofsky, labor leaders. Alio, in New York City and in Chicago, the Negro vote is f considerable signlficance. 'im Rockefeller philanthropies hd^e always done much for Negrols.

These considerationi are not to be trifled with In a tight campaign. They are of sufficient importance for Nlxon to run up to New York to talk to Rockefeller about unity in i960 and lei the Almighty take care of 1964.

One of the unfortunatA factors in this picture is the use of the friendship between Joe Kennedy, Johns father, and Lady Astor and the so-called

Clivendec-Bet,^ This Will be Mf ed actively in this campaign w damage Kennedy in Jewish nte*

r Democrats will undoubt-answer this argument by asking whether a full-grown son is responsible for his father's doings when the father was an American ambassador at the Court of St, James*. To offset this, the Democrat* are smearing Richard Nixon with McCir-thylsm and with having been brutal in handling Helen Qaha-lan, Douglas who ran against him for United States Senator in 1956. -

In a word, it is likely to bS a very dirty campaign, durbii which the candidates and theif advocates will avoid the real i^ sues before the nation, as Ihfeir platforms have avoided the rtal issues. For instance, what has been said in these platformi about the export of Amerioan capital to low^wage and low-tax countries? Does that not, 1 reality, mean the export of Jobs? And if we are exporting jobs, what are our Workmen to do for a living? Suppose this eXport^oI jobs Continues and we hVs siieh an increase In unemployment by 1962 that we face a sefioUs depression, What is to be ddni then?

Or take the question of mcjn* ey~wha| serious remarks do either platform make on this subject? Neither parly disciisa-cs gold, but Khrushchev is moving very rapidly into tha gold business and it is io bS expected that between next October and January, the gold rouble will be in world markets, a hard currency giving battle to the American dollar. The Russians have an enormous hoard of under-the-ground g<)Id, particularly in the Ural and Altai regions and along the LSnA River- It is estimated that the above-ground hoard is Cloec tO 19.000,000.000.
