Changes In
College Styles

NOT OF THE altitude of the
spirits or the circumference of the
breeches are we talking now, altho
there have been some rather pro-
found changes in these scholastic
essentials, too, in the last decade.
One does not see so many out
landish and freakish fads emanat
ing from our American campuses
as one did fifteen Or twenty years
ago
The peg top trousers, the rougn
neck sweater, and the pin-head cap,
have passed with the "Rah, Rah"
boy into state of blissful oblivion
to be revived only when some of the
"old boys" return for their annual
reunions.
DRESSING NORMAL
The American College and Uni
versity undergraduate is now, for
the most part, dressing like any
other normal citizens of this aee
and means. In fact there is at pre-
sent no prevailing college style OF
dressing. The campus styles are
usually influenced by those IN
vogue in the nearest city or town.
But these changes in the under

The present day undergraduate is
more independent, aggressive and
inquisitive than his professors of
ten or twelve years ago. His search
after truth-the truth that frees
both mind and spirit is more cour-

DEMAND CLOSER TOUCH
There Is a greater demand for
the closer Couch of student and in

the tutor system now in frce at
Princeton. There is constantly in
creasing respect for scholarship.
The mere student no longer has to
hide himself from the taunts and
displeasure of his fellows. AS one
writer has put it, "The Phi Beta

more respect than the block letters

MUSIC OF ASCAP

Many Familiar Musical Mum.
bers Missing From Broad
casters Programs

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-dP-Many
musical numbers were miss
ing from radio programs today, as
of the nations ~broadcasting
did without music controlled
by the American Society of Com.
posers, Authors and Publishers.
1t was the first day after expira-
ton of ASCAP's contracts with the
National Association of B~roadcasters
an expiration resulting from the
b~roadcasters' refusal of ASCAP's
terms which the NAB said would
cost the radio industry $4,000 u
year.
One of the first differences noted
by radio listeners was the virtual
absence Of college band music from
the various "bowl' football games.
Sports b~roadcasters worked from
s~ound-proof booths to prevent any
ASCAP music from finding its way
into the microphones. While all col.
lege songs were not ASCAP property,
b~roadcasters said they hesitated to
pick up any Of them out of fear
that some mischief maker might
toot one of the forbidden numbers.
At the stroke of midnight, when
the contracts expired, ASCAP set
up listening posts to detect any
violations of the copyright law
ASCAP claimed that about 100"
stations had renewed their con-
tracts, while Broadcast Music, Inc,
set up by the NAB to supply the
networks and individual stations
with music, said 674 stations had
signed with it.
BMI announced it had taken out
81, 000, 900 insurance to indemnify
any station or advertiser that might
be sued by ASCAP as a result of
the use of the new BMI music
catalogue.

when they come up for trial. The
Judge estimated 5000 visited the
court during the 12-hour session.
Judge Musmanno attributed the
success of his campaign to the wide
publicity given it in the past week.
"The people had a gay and happy
time but they were sensible; they
celebrated but they used good judg-
ment," he said in a. prepared state
ment, adding:
Considering the closely knit drag
net of police, detectives, constables

CITY WILL RETURN

Wilmington Observes New
Years Day With All Public
Offices Closed

Wilmington observed New Years
Day with a day of quiet yester.
day and prepared to resume its
regular routine today.
All city, county, state and fed
eral offices were closed and most
of the business houses shut up for
the day.
Banks, the ABC stores and the
general Offices of the Atlantic
Coast Line Railroad company were
also closed.
The day of quiet was in sharp
contrast to the way the citizens of
the city greeted the New Year at
midnight Tuesday night. ; There
was plenty of noise-from boom
ing firecrackers, singing a d
cheering to usher in the New Year.
About the only place where there
was much activity yesterday was

where motorists flocked to b u y
their 1941 automobile license
plates.

Expected to act as a spur to out

time slogan, a doubt raised in Presi-
dent Roosevelt's recent broadcast.
Many purchasing agents, accord
ing to business reports, have been
ordering raw materials and goods to
hold in reserve against the possibili-
ty government defense planners
might act to divert mill capacity into
war industry.
This forward buying increased the
untitled business stemming directly
from U. S. and British arms spend
ing.
After record-breaking production in
the final quarter of the old year, the
busy steel and motor industries were
expected to keep up the pace for
some weeks, anyway.
Steel and automobile plants were
considered the focus of the 'busi
ness as usual" enigma. In event

Police Help Firemen
Battle Truck Blaze

CHARLOTTE, Jan. 1.0R-Coun-
ty police were called to help battle
a spectacular blaze aboard a huge
noving van which developed when
a. gasoline line was broken.
The police report said the truck
was the property of H. G.. Goodson,
was being operated by the Harris
Brothers Trucking Co., and driven
by Wayne C. Bingham.
The officers quoted Bingham as
saying another vehicle had forced
him off the highway near Plnev1lle.
Several of the 10 large tires burst
with loud blasts, the police said, as
they became heated.
The officers said they shot holes
in the gasoline tanks, at the drlv'

al opposition, he said he had no
intention of using it except when
necessitated by a great emergen-
cyl Repeal the "Greenback" pow
ers of the 1888 agricultural adjust
,ment act, under which the treas
ury could issue So, 1000, 600, 900 of
new money, backed only by the
governments credit, instead OF
gold or silver. Repeal the treas
ury's unused power to issue $1.29
worth of currency for every ounce
of foreign silver purchased, re-
gardless of actual cost. This metal
is bought currently at IS cents.
The report made no recommended
ton about similar powers to issue
S1.29 worth of currency for every
ounce of domestically-mined silver
bought by the treasury, currently
at I'LL cents.
No Method Suggested
3. Neutralize the credit effects
of imported gold. No method was
suggested, but in 1868 the treas
ury tried to do this by using bor-
rowed money to pay for the gold.
This meant that the treasury was
borrowing money from the public
as fast as foreigners were Great
ing new bank deposits with the
cash they got for their gold, and
the net effect was no substantial
change in the amount of money
available for credit in this our
try. At present, the treasury pays
cash for gold and gets the cash by
reselling the metal to the IL Fed
eral Reserve banks.
4. Sell government bonds, in the
future, to the general public and
not to banks. Monetary experts
said that when the treasury spends
borrowed money, the contractors.
employees or others who get the
money deposit it in banks, gen
orally, and thus create new lend
ing powers for the banks. They
suggested that if the government
should borrow its money from in
dividuals or corporations who
would have to draw money out OF
banks to pay for the securities,
this would offset the deposits made
later by those who receive funds
from the government.
5. Balancing of the federal bud
get, increasing taxes gradually un-
til they equal expenditures, was
advocated by the report on a
''some day" basis. Officials indi-
Gated no hope of accomplishing it
quickly, since President Roosevelt
was reported to be preparing a
ST., 600, 600, 900 budget for the next
fiscal year which may involve a
deficit of as high as 50, 1000, 900, 900.
The report said the balance should
be achieved whenever the coun-
try approaches a condition Of full
utilization of its economic capaci-
ty." This was interpreted to mean
a time when every employable per-
son has a job and every factory
is going full blast. 1

land in general terms, and many
expect the speech to the national
legislature to go into the details
on which he did not touch at that
unexpectedly where the 'lease-
lend' plan for helping Britain is
concerned.
While that obviously will furnish
the central controversy of the ses-
sion, the double-headed question of
federal finances-taxes and appro-
priations-has already taken on
enormous stature. There is too.
a new tax bill, and there is much
disagreement as to what it should
contain. Probably any really hard
work upon it will be postponed un-
til the March Is income tax re-
turns can be inspected. House COM
mittees. however, will make a
start upon the appropriations at
once.
Some leaders have indicated the
general objective would be to pare
n~on-defense expenditures and i'll
crease tax rates and revenues to a
point at which they will bring the
government enough money to pay
for everything except the defense
and aid-to-Britain program at least.
The latter, it is expected, will be
costly. Some, in a position to
know, have estimated that it will
require an outlay of So, 600, 600, 900
to So, 500, 600, 900 over and above
the cost of Americas own defense
plan.
The idea behind it is simple. 1t
is that when England's resources
here run low, the United States
government shall pay for the con-
struction of tanks, planes, guns
and other fighting equipment and
then lease or lend them to Great
Britain. After the war is over, the
latter is to return or replace them.
with an added possibility that part
of the repayment may be made in
such raw materials as rubber and
tin. l
