Members of the North Car
olina Central University Board
of Trustees heard Vice Chan
cellor William Jones explain
budgeting procedures under the
new organization of The Uni
versity of North Carolina.
Jones told the board mem
bers, whose responsibilities are
to promote the sound develop
ment of the institution and to
serve as advisors to the Board
of Governors, that it is not
possible to identify the prior
ities assigned by the Board of
Governors to N. C. Central's
various budget requests.
He said the legislature will
make a lump stun appropriation
for "Change" budget requests
to the Board of Governors,
which will apportion that ap
propriation to the sixteen con
stituent institutions.
Jones noted that the univer
sity had asked for a total of
5i,902.177 in its change bud
set request for 1973-74 and for
$2,485,954 in its request for
1974-75.
The 1973-74 figure included
$67,821 for
previously approved support
levels and $836,996 as a result
of enrollment changes. In
1974-75, the previously-ap
proved-support-level request is
$137,999 and the enrollment
change total is $923,727.
The amounts for maintenance
of previously approved support
levels include such items as
telephone rate increases, price
increases for supplies and "equip
ment, utility rate . increases,
norrnal replacement of motor
vehicles, maintenance and op
eration of previously author
ized construction, insurance
rate increases, and expenses for
the Board of Trustees.
The university's top two
priorities in new programs and
activities and improvements to
existing programs and activities
are also the largest single re
quests in that budget item.
Top priorit) is given to im
proving the instructional prog
rams, for which $147,271 is
requested for the first year of
the biennium and $145,256 is
asked for the second year. Im
provement of library resources
is sought with a request for
$188,260 in the first year and
$206,378 in the second year.

Gets $3.5 Mi
Dr. Albert E. Manley, Pres

Chairman of the Council of
Presidents of the Atlanta Uni
versity Center announced today
a Ford Foundation grant of
$3.5 million to five of the in
stitutions in the Center and to
the Center. This is the largest
financial commitment to date
made to a cluster of minority
institutions in this country and
carries with it a five to six year
commitment of a total invest
ment of between 15 and 21
million dollars.
The grant will be used to
support the reorganization
plans in the Center, while sim
ultaneously strengthening the
member institutions according
to their individual needs. Dr.
Manley emphasized, however,
thai there are no plans for a
merger of the six institutions,
lie pointed out that the partici
pating colleges will still be free
and independent.
In the proposed reorganiza
tion plan, which has been con
sidered by each of the partici
pating institutional boards, the
aims are (1) to reorganize the
Atlanta University Center and
to have as chief officer a Chan
cellor instead of an Executive
Secretary as is now the ease,
(2) to increase the number of
non-institutional members on
the Centerwide Board, and (3)
