public business should be con-ducted in the open," said Umstead.

_Judge Susie Shazj, called the press and judiciary "natural part-ners" but said newspapers inter-fere with due prOcess of law by printing pre-trail rumors 1 and alleged confessions.

(The following quotation recently appeared in The Daily Tar Heel, stu-dent ne\vspaper of the University of North Carolina.)

"Next Wednesday night, Robert Frost makes his annual trip to Chapel Hill to lecture and read some of the poetry

that critics have called among the best of our time.

Mr. Frost always has a large, ap-preciative gathering to hear him-as well he should. His coming however, occasions a question from us:

"Whv don't we have more lecturers like hi zit?"

Old Gold and Black has a question, too:

\Vhy can't wake Forest have just one lecturer like Mr. Frost?

The immediate answer is nQt long in forthcoming. The Concert Lecture Com.:. mittee, which handles the contracting of performers who appear here, is be-ing strangled by a small appropriation which comes too late to permit the scheduling of many of the better per-formers. With these deplorable handi-caps, the Committee is doing the best

Case OfThe Lost $400 "\Vake Forest's missing $400 is no

longer missing-it is lost. Last year the College provided 20

freshman honor scholarships, 10 at $660 and 10 at $330-a total of $9,900. 'For 1954-55 there are 15 scholarships, 10 at $760 and five at $380-a total of $9,500 and a difference of $400-the missing $400.

The appropriation from the Trustees is $10,000, leaving a balance of $500 for 1954-55. (Though the 1954-55 bud-get will not be acted upon until this spring, the Trustees had guaranteed $10,000.) .

This balance is not used in the fresh-man scholar
