North Carolina College of
ficials, appearing before the
State Advisory Budget Com
mission on September 10, re
quested $1.7 million in additio
nal funds to raise faculty sala
ries and provide new services.
These requests, the institu
tion’s “B” budget recommend
ations, followed an August 18
capital improvement request by
the college for $7,741,000 for
the 1965-67 biennium.
President Samuel P. Massie
also presented $287,000 in ad
ditional requests to the capital
improvement requests made last
month. These include $252,000
for the construction of a chem
istry building instead of an ad
dition to the existing science
building as originally recom
mended for the addition.
Also included in the second
capital improvement request
was a total of $35,000 to be
used for paving an area behind
the graduate and senior wo-,
men’s dormitory to providel
parking facilities.
The largest single item in
the September 10 presentation
was a $925,000 request for fac
ulty salary increases over a
two-year period—$300,00 the
first year and $625,000 the
second year of the bienniimi.
Receiving similar priority were
increases in postage, telephone,
and telegraph allocations; tra
vel expense; and state aid for
faculty research totaling $34,
200.
In commenting on the request
for increases in salaries, Dr.
Massie said, “The most critical
budgetary problem is that or
providing satisfactory salaries
for teachers. Competing with
government, industry, and out-
of- state colleges and univer
sities for qualified teachers has
become a nightmare . . .
Included in the request also
was an allocation of $39,715 for
additional scientific equipment;
$131,712 for the appointment
on nine administrative officers
and workers; $83,152 for addit
ional counselors and other per
sonnel in student services; and
$203,888 for additional faculty
and staff members, primarily
to support the college’s deve
lopmental and laboratory pro
grams.

PRESIDENT AND MRS. MASSIE DINE AT WHITE HOUSE—^Pre
sident and Mrs. Samuel P. Massie were among the dinner guests
of President and Mrs. Lyndon Johnson in the Rose Garden of the
White House in July on the occasion of the visit of His Excellency,
the President of the Malagasy Republic and Mrs. Tsiranana.
pleasant, profitable an^ inte
resting year.
To those of you coming with
us for the first time, we especi
ally invite you to join our com
munity of scholars and friends
as you obtain the education de
signed to prepare you for liv
ing in our modern world. We
invite you to apply your ener
gies and talents to the fullest.
You will find that college is
interesting and challenging, but
that it is often like money in
the bank—“you get out what
you put in, with interest.” You
are here to learn—then learn
well. Learn languages so that
you can commxmicate properly
and well; leam history so
that you know some-
thing o f your past and
present; learn science, so that
you understand nature and the
physical and -biological forces
which surround you; leam to
know and appreciate the fine
arts, for man is more than an
animal; learn all of your sub
jects well—learn, learn all that
you can. Do not be satisfied
with less than your best.
But school is more than books
—so lend your talents to extra
curricular activities, such as
athletics, drama, band, choir,
class organizations, dormitory
groups, student govenunent.
You will find a variety of extra
curricular activities to stimulatei
your imagination and challenge
your energies and ambitions.
Do not forget the religious
heritage you bring—attend the
church of your choice, or our
services on campus at 9:30 a.m.
on Sunday morning.
We hope that you capture and
hold fast “The North Carolina
College spirit”—that intangible
feeling that makes an “Eagle”
go forth to live an interesting
and significant life—one de
voted to Truth in order to better
Serve.
To those returning to North
Carolina College for the second,
third or last time, we are
happy that most of you had a
pleasant summer. We are glad
to see that so many of you have
returned with renewed ambit
ions and goals. We desire that
the experiences you share this
year will be meaningful as you
press ever forward toward yoxir
individual goals.
We ask that you join in help
ing the new students find the
full meaning of college life—
that you show them by ex
ample, both in and out of the
classroom, how North Carolina
College students act.
North Carolina College is
continuing to provide you with
the experiences and facilities
needed to obtain a quality e$Ju-
cation. All around, you will see
evidence of physical changes—
new buildings going up here
and there, old buildings being
removed. You will find a new
language laboratory, new scien
tific equipment, new and more
audio-visual equipment, more
books and other tools designed
to aid you in receiving a better
education.
You will find a faculty and
administration seeking to ever
assist you. Many of them spent
the summer studying and seek
ing ways to instruct and guide
you in obtaining the best possi
ble education. You will find
them anxious and enthusiastic
—even if they seem a little
hard at times—to help you to
develop to your fullest capaci
ties.
Requests have been made to
the state for almost 8 million
dollars for capital improve
ments, 2 million dollars for new
special services. As these re
quests are honored, we will be
able to provide even more en
riching experiences and pro
grams.
The college is glad that you
have chosen to come here and
we are proud of you. It shall
give you the best that it has
and will do all that it can for
