The Policy
"Our University athletic council
has established the following regu-
lations: Tickets to our rome foot
ball games go on sale to alumni
of the University on July /. Non
alumni may place ticket orders
ON and after August Is. We are not
able to accept orders to games or
to make any reservations except
al set forth in these regulations
The letter we received stated as
follows: What is your opinion IN
regards to the above policy. Don't
{ you think it freezes the public
out-and leaves the way open for
the students and alumni to pur-
chase all of the good seats at the
general admission price and scalp
them to the state of North Caro-
t lima taxpayers, the people who help
-te-make the University the Greater
University of North Carolina"
In the first place, we admit that
the policy in some ways freezes
the non-alumni group out, but on
the other hand, there is hardly an
alumni that would not be deeply
hurt if he didn't get this special
privilege. Looking at it from his
viewpoint and also from a non
objective angle, the alumni is en-
titled to first choice on the football
tickets.
But our correspondent has his
points-he is a taxpayer, helps sup
port the University, and from his
standpoint he has as much right
to buy tickets at the same time
as the alumni. Personally, we don't
see where it would matter either
way, if the Univer sity would place
its football tickets open to alumni
and all on the same date.
However, we would like to point
out to the person that there are
special sections in Kenan stadium
reserved for students entirely; that
there are no general admission
tickets sold to anyone at present
and as far as I could see from the
folder sent out from the school,
the biggest reduction in price that
an alumni gets on any single game
is one. cent.
AS for the scalping of tickets,
that's a big business these days
and l know very little about big
business.
Here and There
Alex Mustaikus, the big right
handed pitcher who trained in Will
mingtcl with the Scranton Red Sox
last year, made his big league de-
but with the Boston Red Sox Sum
day, but was shelled from the box
by Washington in the seventh inn
ing of the second game OF their
doubleheader. The American
league is the heavy favorite to win
over the Nationals in the All, Stars
game again today, despite the fact
that the National leaguers beat the
junior loop team in the Finnish
relief game last spring. =. We are
not predicting the outcome, but
look for the game to be much
closer than expected. The lights
will be turned on at Robert Strange
park for the first softball games

Baseball association hopes to make
use of the diamond for a few

There is considerable opposition to the policy OF the
University of North Carolina that allows alumni to have
the first crack at football tickets, and in attempting a
reply to a letter we received a few days ago we are re-
minded that the policy cuts both ways. =.

 Aside from the questions of whether Annenberg pays the government $500 ,00O, and Wheth- CT he goes to jail for 147 years for illegality of his nationwide race tip-and-information service, the ! Annenberg cases are going to set tie something else of vital inter- est to all horse players.
 It is the question of whether in playing the races you are using skill in picking 'em, or whether the thing is sheer chance, and not a very good chance at that.

 It was an iron-gloved monopoly, Annen5erg's opponents charged. It was profitable.
 In 1882, for instance, when things were tough, the government charges that Annenberg took in $610,690, though he reported only $28,257. Even Moe admitted hav- ing good year tn 1886, when he returned gross income of $735, ,805. But the government says 1t should have been $2,316,634.

A NEW PENSION GRAB

While pensions for World War vet
Grams have heretofore been confined the
oretically to service-cOnnected disability
cases, a bill now pending in Congress
would break down this barrier by provid-
ing pensions for needy widows, orphans
and dependent parents of veterans regard
less of disability as result of war service.
This means that a man who served
few months in training camp will be
placed in the same class with the soldier
who died in France with a bullet through
his body. Frankly, we see no justification
for this provision.
The widow Of the veteran who died in
France is entitled to greater consideration
from her government than the widow of
man who was unframed during service
confined to a few months training in this
country.
1T should also be pointed out that the
effect of this legislation is to place widows,
children and parents of uninjured veterans
in class entitled to superior benefits from
the government as compared with widows,
children and parents whose husbands, IA
theirs or sons did not happen to be of fight
ing age.
We have repeatedly pointed out that
the government cannot do too much for
veterans wounded in the World War and
for parents, widows and children of COM
bat dead and injured. If the government
has additional funds available for pen
sions, it should increase the amount now
being paid to these classes.
The bill now before Congress does not
give any additional aid to those who really
suffered the loss of loved ones during the
struggle.
