The most charitable thing - and
from a newspaperman' view about the
only thing not profane - that can be
said about the House of Lords of the
1868 General Assembly is that its dis
concerning.
Historically, and for reasons that have
never been satisfactorily explained, the
North Carolina Senate has always been a
pretty moss-backed gathering.
Besides ultra-conSerVatism, its hall
marks have been deadening pomposity,-
gallopng delusions Of grandeur, a brist
ling hostility toward all creative and
imaginative legislation, and towering
contempt for the public interest.
The State Senate is the place where
old legislative elephants 90 to die, and
its biennial performance is characteris-
tically elephantine
The disconcerting thing about this
years Senate is that it is sitting in that
splendid new State House. 1t is hard,
even for those who have not yet be-
come completely disenchanted with the
North Carolina legislative process, to
reconcile twentieth century architecture,
the latest electrOnic aids, and all of the
other modern trappings of the Senate
chamber with what continues to be a
18th century legislative state of mind,
along with the usual Senatorial syn
drOmeS
The delusions Of grandeur and con-
tempt for the public have found their
most comfortable embodiment this ses-
sion in Senator Tom White of Lenoir.
Suave and spirited, he has the appear
ance of gazele among the elephant
herd. Despite this non-conformity, he
has been able to work his will on the
Senate, largely through a close friend
ship with the Senate president, Clarence
Stone.
Elected by his fellow Senator's as pr&-
ident, in the absence of lieutenant tov-
ernOr who normally presides, Stone owes
his new eminence to his colleagues in
stead of the electorate Since he is COM
pletely without political ambition and
needn't pine about what the public might
think, he can afford to pay primary al
legiance to his fellow Senators. Although
he enjoys the prestige of the Senate
presidency, Senator Stone never figured
to commit himself entirely. He is getting
on in years, he's tired and his health has

Senate Raises Fund Of
University to $685., 900

The State Senate has voted to
raise the appropriation for the
Greater University to 1882 900. the
figure set by the joint commit
tee. The share of the University
in Chapel Hill, one of the three
units of the institution, is S426. 900.
THE $4,000 is $4,000 more
than the amount approved by the
House last week. The difference
will have to be settled in confer
ence, and so what the University
will actually receive is still in
doubt .

And so it was. When Opera

Then, too, the expedition had
a captain along-Capt. Homer
Richardson, commander Of the
Metropolitan Police Depart
ment's fourth precinct. Rich is
a veteran deer hunter and the
woods Of Quantico aren't new
to him.
The expedition could have
had a quartermaster corps,
since Johnny Mandis. the Mar

destined for bigger things. He
got the only deer.
