FIGHT LOOMS AS HOUSE TAKES UP BUDGETSLASHES Friends of Greater University Prepare to WTage Stern Fight If Cuts Are Proposed. Friends of the Greater Uni versity of North Carolina, which now embraces the State College at Raleigh and the Woman's College at Greensboro, are mak ing a big fight to increase the appropriations for the Univer sity, asserting that, if the bud get bureau's recommendation for funds for the Greater Uni versity for the next two years is allowed to stand, the institu tion will be reduced more or less to the status of a prep school. Whether to raise or lower the figure recommended is the big question now at issue. Members of the committee, however, seem to be of the opinion that the University's appropriations should be, kept within the figure recommended by the budget bureau. Another floor fight may result if such a recommendation is made. Study Being Conducted Sub-committees of the joint appropriations committee are now engaged in studying State supported teacher's college and Negro colleges with a view of "co-ordinating" the work. This "co-ordination" may mean con solidation, a rather popular word in this Legislature. It is the belief of many legis lators that the state can operate the schools at a -minimum of $16,500,000, but the school peo ple are represented as believing that it will take at least eigh teen million dollars to do this.
