Vigorous and unqualified opposition
t© th- proposed 10 per cent salary cut
•f stile employees was expressed yes-terday
by Dr. W. C. Jaekson, vice-pres-identj
of the North Carolina College for
Womj-n, and chairman of a faculty com-
■itteh to study and keep in touch with
the yroposed legislation. Dr. Jackson
was •peaking for the committe which
held -i meeting yesterday.
Th.* committe, composed of Dr. A. 8.
•Lei.4r, Miss Buth Fitzgerald. C. E.
Teag<tc, Hiss Mary Petty, and Dr. Jaek-aom
'-u chairman, was appointed last
Thur*day evening with the approval of
the faculty, following a forceful and
eoav-aeing statement by President J. I.
Pou* The committee was expressing
the thinking of the faculty when it said
yesttyday that the teachers fully rec-ogni^
rd and keenly appreeited the seri-ous
situation confronting the state;
that £hey are as loyal and self-sacrific-ing
m other citizens; that they are per-fect)*
willing to share the tax burdens
of :;.c state on a par with all other
citizens: but that they see not only un-fairnVss
and discrimination in the pro-pose!
10 per cent cut in teachers' sala-ries
out also aerions damage to the en-tire
-educational fabric of North Caro-linaJ
Members of the committee pointed
out the peculiar relationship and con-eeqovnt
responsibility of the North
Carr'ina College for Women to the
teacjers of the xtate and expressed the
determination to do all in their power
to prevent the passage of a measure
thatfmrant, as they saw it, an injustice
to nortt than 20.000 teachers of the
rom-iori wealth.
D£. Jackson said further, "We are in
■nchi hearty accord with many of Gov-erned
Gardner's recommendations that
it is* with regret that we are forced to
expnpss opposition to thi* measure. His
recoVim^ndations concerning the 10 per
•MM cut in salaries and related salary
limitations in the budget are unsound
andiuntrise, in our opinion. The major
obj«(*tion to these measures is the irre-parable
damage they will do to the
whole educational program of the state.

Sunday Calm Is Disturbed
By Roaring Air-minded
MonsterOverDormitories
College girls still receive visitation*
of strange sights—and abunds^—from
the heavens. And at four o'clock on
Sunday afternoon, after two hours of
profound quiet. The occasion was an-nounced
by strange sounds-—not the
choir of heavenly hosts—but a steady,
vibrating roar that alternated between
a jungle chorus and an auto race track
symphony.
The shepherds did not look up from
their flocks, but scores of collegiate
locks immediately draped from stacks of
curtained apertures. The first time the
originator of the noiso was discovered,
and a semblance of the old order was
restored. A few minutes passed silently.
Then the heavens reverberated with the
same hum—hum—m—m. This time two
sets of locks hung out every window.
And what to the wondering eyes
should appear but a magnnmious mon-ster—
without the reindeer—but with
an array of wings whirling madly on
the top of its head. Presumably it had
started straight toward the heavens in
the straight and narcow way, for it
swerved neither to the right nor the
left, but went ever upward. Or, if it
could not make the steep climb, it came
directly downward till it gained new
impetus.
"Oh. look!" eried one henevolent soul,
wishing TO enlighten her fellow beings,
"There's a windmill broken loose."
1 But the eminent young biologist who
reached all conclusions by reasoning
them out. offered a better solution.
"Oh, there's a hydra plane. It looks
just like a great big hydra!"

VICTORY FASTENING HER
SANDALS' IS ACQUIRED
Home Economics Department Obtain*
Relief of Fassons Work for Mala
Corridor of Building.
The Home Economies department has
recently acquired a aew decoration, a
large plaster relief called "Victory
Fastening Her Sandels." It hangs in
the main corridor of the Home Eco-nomics
building to th© left of the
entrance, and is about two feet wide
and about three feet high.
The original was desigend and sculp-tured
in Greece in the fifth century,
when Greek art was at its height. It
is a very beautiful piece of work and
is considered among the best of its kind.
The-chief beauty of the relief is in the
rhythm of the drapery on the figure.
