UNO fIt would be surpris< Ing if there are any real obstacles in the \^ay of establishing a one University' concept for the three existing units of the Consolidated University of North Carolina.

It is expected that this concept can be csUbl shed within a year, through actions of tlie U.u\ersity trustees, the Gene.-tl Assembly and the University administration.

At the same time this is hap-pcriig. Charlotte College can and will be moving tov.'ard a dRie in the no, loo distant fu,ure mhcn it will a,.ain University status.

There are ether necessary steps before this happens, but umfying of the present three branches of tiie University vsill be the first o. e.

STEIPSTlie one University " concept includes not only a common narre snch as the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the Univer.sity of North Carol nn at Raleigh and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

It also includes a specific statutory deiiniUon of University function in the state, something which already is written and needs <ly to be acted on by tbe legislature.

Then finally, the most complicated and tedious of the re-Quirements involves changes in and strengthening of academic programs, and changes in admissions p(rflcics. This will be the work of the trustees and administratl<Hi and an outlines of it already has been drawn.

FORWARD WTiile this is taking place, both Charlotte and Wilmington colleges are scheduled to reach full four-year senior college level by the faU of 1964. Asheville - Biltmore College Is expected to achieve this status when its enrollment reaches 700.

No less important in this overall plan (rf moving forward In higher education in North Carolina is the role to be played by other state institutions of higher learning. Their role is to be defined and their programs and influence strengthened.

Private institutions in the state are overlooked either In the plan, and it includes g projection that private college and universities will take care of between 11.000 and 12.-WO (rf tbe estimated 42.000 student Increase In college enrollment In the state by 1970.

COMMUNITY COLLEGES Another feature of the overall plan for higher educiUion being

developed is the proposal for establishing new community colleges for commuter students.

These, according to the plan unfolded by Higher Eldncation officials, are to have four specific functions and will be iocally-flnanced. locally controlled and under the State Board of Higher Education.

If there has been any serious objection thus far to the overall plan, it has centered mostly on the role of these two-year corrmunity colleges. Officials supporting the plan believe, horrever. that much of this objection is based on misunder-standii. They stress the local charaC'.er and nature of these schcols and the fact that a com-murtiy itself is to decide the need.

F-'CKGROUND-This 'overall rlcn thus embraces the one Univrrsi.y coi ccpt. future banching of the University, forr-year status fo three present community colleges, establishing of new community coliches and the role and functions of other s'ate and privare institutions of higher learn-ins.

It is. in essence. outgrowth of the work by the 1961-appoint-ed Governors Commission on Education Beyond the High School of which Irving Carlvde of Winston-Salem was chairman.

Tbe three major recommendations of the Carlyle Commission were these:

Establishing a system of community colleges.

Elevating three flourishing community colleges at Charlotte, Wilmington and Asheville to four-year status on a gradual basis.

Statutory definition of the University of North Carolinas function.

Significantly, all three major reccmmendations received the full endorsement of President William C. Friday of the Consolidated University earlier this week.

And Governor Sanford is scheduled to put his support behind the proposals and major recommendations later this week in a speech at Payette-\'ille on Thursday.

GAPSMany gaps are left in the overall plan and officials recognize that a great many .specifics must be answered before it or any particular part of it can be implemented fully.

But It appears fairly clear that most of the plan is receiving a favorable reaction and chances of its getting the go-ahead are good.

Its a big jump from a $500 million surplus, predicted by the Kennedy administration in Januaiv for the current fiscal year, to the $7.8 bfllion deficit administration officials now say will appear on the governments book at the end of this year.

The change in the figures not only means the government wdll operate again in the red instead of the black, but a $7.8 billion deficit would be the second largest peacetime deficit by $1.5 billion.

By JAMES MARLOW WASHINGTON (AP) President Kennedy has painted himself into a corner with election campaigning for a big Democratic Congress. Getting out of it these next two years will require all his poliUcaJ skill. Since he has plenty of that, the burden on him wtMit be unbearable and, ^in or lose with Congress, the result shouldnt Interfere with his trying for the White House again in 1964.

But it ^ill be interesting to see how he handles Congress with the presidential race coming up and the need for accomplishments intensifying.

In the past two years his has been a policy of be-nice-to-ev-erjbody, including even those Democrats and Republicans in Congre.ss who did the most to frustrate him and his programs, like medical care for tbe aged.

Its possible, feeling th need for a better showing, hell switch and get tough. But it isnt likely, if wily because of the presidential race when he may feel he needs every vote from every section.

In the recent campaign he pleaded for the electiwi of more Democrats to Congress to help him make good in the next two years on programs he couldn't make good on in the past two because his Demo-cratic-run Congress blocked him.

It was an amazing political sight to see a President saying he needed more people from hla own party In a Congress where in sheer numbers people from his own party already drowned the Republicans.

What he really was asking for was more Democrats to offset those Democrats who teamed up with Republicans to kill his programs. In this case it was mainly the ScHithem Democrats The voters ga\> him four more Democrats in the Senate, making the partys majority there 68-32, or beUcr than two to one over the Republicans, although in the House the Republicans picked up two seats.

Those two seats have practically no significance in changing the already heavily conser-

\'ative mood of the House since the Democrats there will outnumber the Republicans 259-176.

These small changes in the makeup of the two houses actually can be considered a Kennedv \1ctory since the minority party in an off-year election like this traditionally makes solid gains but this vear didnt.

Therefore, through this triumph over tradition. Kennedv should be expected to deliver on a number of programs, particularly since he has overwhelming numbers of Demo^ crats to help him.

But anything so nebulous as victory over tradition melts when placed against the hot arithmetic of politics.

Despite the huge Democratic majorities in both houses, some of the program*: Kennedy talked most about, like medical care, were slaughtered by a combination of consen'^ative Democrats and Republicans.

The complexion of Congress hasnt been changed enough by the Nov. 6 elections to make the outlook for his pet programs any more optimistic.

Nevertheless, Kennedy campaigned, he won a victory over tradition and now its up to him to perform.

If he gets slaughtered again on some of his major programs, but manages to get through a moderate amount of more or less usual legislation, he probably will say in 1964 as he did this year: It was a tremendous Congress, one of the best.

And when he runs for re-election, as he seems certain to, he will be out campaigning for even more Democrats in Cwigress.

Quote

If the American tobacco manufacturers are buying African tobacco instead of American, it is high time for the American grower to find an authoritative answer to the question. Why?Durham Herald.

Western readers are frequently puzzled by their glimpses of prices in the Soviet Union.

At the height of the Cuban sugar crisis they discovered that Russian housewives pay perhaps five times as much for sugar as Americans. By contrast they may read that although the U.S.S.R. is still gripped by a severe housing shortage, shelter represents a much smaller portion of the average familys budget than it does in most of the West. The Soviet state airline, Aeroflot, radically undersells competing world airlines; yet its jetliners are generally considered less efficient to operate.

This perplexing situation is due to a tangled and arbitrary cost-accounting system in a nation whose industries have, in the final analysis, a single board of directors, near-raono-poly control over a restive but still captive consumer market, and a controlled labor force only now being granted an incentive-pay system in some areas.

Premier Khrushchev, the restlessly tinkering pragmatist, has been responsible for a number of reforms that have helped to promote local industrial autonomy, more competition, quality control, and productiwi incentives. These very reforms have made plain the need for other improvements in the erratic cost-accounting systems that have left prices in the Soviet Union a roller-coaster of figure

set to serve political ends until budget efficiency is jeopardized and both consumers and laborers react with either anger or apathytwin dangers to any economy.

Some Sovietologists expect reforms in the nations cast-price-incentive system to b. a major topic at the mid-November meeting of the Communist Partys Central Committee. If recriminations over the Cuban policy boomerang do not usurp its place, this economic overhaul does appear to be a likely central topic. It is believed that proposals for a system of profit incentives developed by Professor Aksel Berg, a scientist advocating computer analysis of the contributions of all industries to each other, may be accepted as the official line. Professor Bergs system Is based on pioneering American work in scientific analysis of labor productivity and price relationships, overlayed with a veneer of Leninism.

Although this system does not promote an economy as efficient and profitable as one in w hich business competition prevails, it would mark a considerable step forward and Westwardfor the Soviet economy.

A more efficient U.S.S.R. economy may be jus as dangerous to the West in world competition as the old monopoly that manipulated its prices to undersell intemational rivals. But at least it is a more predictable competitor, more likely to play by the economic rules because it needs to.

I have a letter signed by Richard W. Oudersluys, President of Market Opinion Research Company of Detroit, Michigan, in which he says:

Your article One Mans Reply to Phone Survey, imbllsh-ed this week-end, was one of the most insulting attacks a highly respected profession I have ever read. You have probably alienated thousands of men and women who are engaged in this woric, many more who use it and the still more thousands of marketing ^udents and their professors.

One of the workers in our office suggfsted we hang your picture in our lobby, so that when any one of us passes it we can stick a pin In it or throw a handy dart at it.

I did not know that his was a highly respected profession.

I know, of course, that medicine, law, the clergy, teaching and other skills, requiring long years of study and training, are professions. I should imagine that his enterprise of Interrupting persons at lunch is a semiskilled industry^ involving only a rudimentary knowledge of the vernacular. Madam, does your washer get clogged up?*

I am sorry that I have alienated thousands of men and women engaged In this work. If I worried about whom I alienated, I should have nothing else to do, because the truth always alienates somebody. Also, Oudersluys attempts to frighten me that there are thousands of marketing students and their professors. I suppose that every time I attack the use of heroin in this country. I should worry about what the thousands of users and pushers and their bankers think about me.

But to be serious about this thing, if one can be, on a very busy day, a young lady was called (Ml the telephone by one of these pollsters and asked whether she had recently got any new electrical equipment. She replied, Yes, whereupon a long list of such equipment was read to her, including electric irons, television, hi-fi,. and all sorts of things. Yes, she replied, I recently got all of these except the washing machine.

What did your television cost you, for instance? (Meanwhile the stew began to bum.)

Oh! said the young thing, about $801.30.

This knocked the pollster over.

You didnt buy it in a discount house?

No! she replied, and named the most expensive store for such doo-dads in New York.

The pollster could hardly be-^ lleve her ears.

What does your husband earn a month? the pollster asked.

$83.50 a month hes a soldier.

The pollster must imagine that the young voice was either a liar or a multimillionaii-e. The truth is that she is a young bride and got a lot of wedding presents, some of which, as such things go at his early stage of life, are not usable.

She was also asked how many hours of leisure she had to which she replied, None. And then the busy-body Inquired as to her husbands education. No questions were asked about her sex life, or whether she hated her father and mother and therefore lived alone, or why girls left home.

The young ones Indignation ran high because the stew was burned. When she told me the story. I asked her whether she thought answering a pollster was worth a well-thought-out stew with tarragon and red wine yet. Why did she not tell the gossip to mind her own business?

These pollsters have become a pest. They disturb one at lunch and dinner. They interfere when one is reading a book or even having a pleasant talk with his wife, or even an unpleasant one. They clutter the mail with questionnaires.

Apparently Oudersluys point is that one must answer these questions to keep these marketeers at work. That may be a good reason. However, they ran join the Navy and see the world: New York City is short of policemen and If they have the qualifications, they can get a job there be pensloned-off after 20 yeais of service and encouraged to be idle forever (Continued on Page 7)

THAT UNFAILING 8UPP0.

The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews urges his readers to "draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith. Faith is the soil out of which true religion grows. Assurance is the confidence we may well hav'e that if we behave after a pattern laid down by God Himself we can be sure H i s blessing will rest upon us. He may lead us through dark valleys and require us to surmount obstacles and mountains which tower above us and menace us, but faith leads us to beUeve that since God is love we are the objects of His love, and such being the case He will do ev-errthing for our welfare He may appear at t^ies to be pun

ishing us. Somctlines (but very sridom) He does punish us. For just as we have to punish children once in a while, so God occasionally has to punish us. But most w^hat we regard as punishment is only the hard iocipline which comes from following the pathway of right. It would be easy to go along the wide highway of evil, but that way leads to destruction.

Let us, therefore, as We confront lifes situation's some of them pleasant, some not so pleasant, some tragic draw near to God remembering that He is a God o love. And let us have full assurance that our faith in Him will be answered with a bigger and better life.

Let us draw near. . in full assurance of faith. God never fails.

You and I and the million other youngsters who trudged door to door years ago trying to win a pony by selling bars of soap, tablets of ink. cans of polish and other shoddy merchandise will be interested in a decision by Judge Joseph R. Willson in the Federal District Court for Western Pennsylvania.

The court levied civil penalties of $45.000 on the Wilson Chemical Co. (that's right, one-L Wilscm). the distributor of White Cloverine Brand Salve.

Judge Willson found that company Wilson violated a 1936 order by the Federal Trade Commission by publishing two false and misleading advertisements in numerous comic books which reached millions of youngsters throughout the coun- . tr>-

"LI RE THE JUVENILE

The advertising. Judge Will

son said. "Is carefully worded so as to lure the juvenile into the belief that when 1^ sent for the 14 cans of salve and returned the 50 cents for each can, he would receive premiums free at no extra charge.

"I find this not to be the fact. What was described and offered into evidence was false and misleading In that each of the two exhibits misrepresented the true cost of many of the premiums or prizes. . .

The premium catalog offere a total of 90 different prizes. Eight of these prizes may only be secured by sending extra money in addition to selling the required cans of salve. Two others. . .require the recipient to pay express charges.

The Judge added; "When one ccHisiders the number of juveniles reached by these comics and the amount of business done by the defendant, it does not seem inappropriate that the

maximum penalty be imposed for tbe riolations here, which in fact is the seccxid penalty imposed against this defendant. REVIVES .MEMORIES

This reminds me of the occasion when I. about 9, sent away for some soap which, if I sold, would start me on the way to winning a pony. And, by selling a few thousand more bars, get a cart. I have Icxig forgotten the advertiser, but I am sure it was not Wilson Chemical.

I got a shipment of bais of soap and after school every weekday and all day Saturdays I went from door to door in the Piedmont section of Oakland, Calif., begging people to buy the soap at 10 cents a bar. It seemed everyone had just bought a bar of the stuff from another boy, or had laid in a large supply of soap from Sacks Grocery on Piedmont Avenue.

My mother bought one bar from me bujt complained that the blue of the soap rjxm qh

on her hands and would not wash aw'ay.

After many weeks the company started sending me threatening letters, demanding its money for the 120 bars of soap it had sent me. I would have had to have sold several thousand more to win a pony. I talked things over with my Dad and I sent back 60 cents for six bars, and the remaining 114 unsold barsat Dads expense. I had nothing for my days of work.

About the same time, a friend no smarter than I answered another ad. Mother bought (me of the 10-cent tablets he was selling. He came back a few da vs later, red-eyed and crying. I made a mistake. he said. That tablet was* not for shoe blacking. It was for making black Ink. Mother refused to take the dime back.

If that little tad Is still around, I hope he reads Joseph Wilisou's decision.
