To Hand Board
Upon conducting a review of the
automobile problem which has arisen
in connection with the recent number
of tragic accidents resulting from the
unrestricted operation of automobiles
by students, the sub-committee on au
tomobiles of the Student Welfare
board has declared that students them
selves should attack the problem and
tas asked that the board urge the
president of the student body to
assume responsibility for meeting the
need for attention to the situation.
The group added that some kind
of action should be taken through
either the student council or student
legislature, and presented nine points
which it recommended to the board
to be passed on to the responsible stu
dent agency.
PROGRAM
The nine points are:
1. The establishment of a Student
Safety council chosen on a broadly
representative basis, functioning with
responsibility in the control of auto
mobiles as the Interf raternity council
functions with reference to fraterni
ties, etc.
2. The Safety council should issue
student licenses of a durable type to
all student car operators maintaining
automobiles in Chapel Hill.
3. The council should set up mini
mum standards of eligibility -for a
student operator's license. The sub
committee recommends that one def
inite requirement be the presentation
of a signed permit from the student's
narent or. guardian nthe case ot
undergraduates. The purpose of this
permit is to call more vividly to the
parent's attention the University's at
titude and policy with reference to
student-operated automobiles.
4. The cooperation of the Chapel
Hill police should be sought by the
Safety council. Student licenses should
be required by the police, and enforce
ment of the requirement by them
should be urged as their participation
in a program designed to ease the lo
cal traffic problem.
5. The Safety council should effec
tively maintain certain standards of

SOLUTION FOR
NEGRO PROBLEM
PUT TO HOUSE
Murphy Of Rowan
Introduces Bill
For Grad Courses
A bill believed by some to be a so
lution to the problem resulting from
pressing Negro applications, for en
trance into the University has been
presented in the state legislature in
Raleigh, and referred to a special
committee.
Introduced by Walter (Pete) Mur
phy, for 40 years a University
trustee and for 25 years a member
of the House executive committee,
the bill provides for appropriations to ;
set up graduate courses at the North
Carolina College for Negroes' in Dur
ham, and the A. and T. college in
Greensboro.
If enrollment for any of these
graduate classes numbers under ten,
under provisions of the bill the state
will provide a subsidy for the sev
eral Negroes to enroll in some out-of-state
school.
NO COMMITMENTS
Although the administration last
night would not commit itself con

Fire Put Out In
Elevator Shaft
A fire in the elevator shaft of
the infirmary early last night of
fered the infirmary residents some
thing out of the ordinary, even
though they didn't know what had
happened until the engine arrived.
A student, 'passing by about 6:15
last night, noticed smoke coming
out of the elevator shaft and sent
in an alarm. The engine promptly
arrived and, upon investigating,
discovered that the new elevator
motor had completely burned up.
Although no other damage had
been caused since the firemen im
mediately brought the blaze under
control, the motor itself was a
highly valuable piece of machin
ery. No official statements were of
fered by any of the infirmary of
ficials, however, John Johnson, only
Negro volunteer fireman in the
state, claimed that "there was
nothing wrong."
The incident caused very little
"excitement and everything contin
ued on as usual at the hospital,
even during the work of the firemen.

In Costs For Students Going
To Schools In State
By GLADYS BEST TRIPP
Carolina rates fourth! The Univer
sity is not at the top, or near the
bottom in the amount paid by each
student to go to school. Salem is first
with an expense account for each girl
of $740.00 a school year. $275.00 of
the amount goes for tuition.
Oak Ridge comes second with a tui
tion plus board and room of $535.00
and cost of uniforms at $115.00 which
adds up to $650. Duke is third with a
cost per student of $639.00 not includ
ing laundry.
Carolina students spend on an av
erage of $550 a year for schooling,
which is the same as that charged
by Peace Junior college for girls liv
ing in East Dormitory. Those who
stay in the Main Building pay only
$495.00.
AT MEREDITH
Meredith adds up the bill for each
student at $450.00, and Guilford does
the same. Lenoir Rhyne charges its
boys $356, and girls $370. WCUNC
lists a girl's total expenditures in the
catalogue as $340.00. Boys pay $340.00
too at Elon, but girls about $25.00
more.
At Wake Forest the tuition is $100,
and general fees $65. Law tuition
amounts to $240 and medicine to $300.

To Allow
Every Student
Asked To Write
Representatives
By CARROLL McGAUGHEY
With student participation in the
Appropriations committee hearing on
the proposed $50 increase in tuitions
at the University assured, John Ran
kin, head of the student lobbying
movement in Raleigh, last night
called for student action on the plan
formulated by the lobby to combat
the proposal in the legislature.
Chairman of the Senate Appropria
tions committee, W. B. Rodman, was
interviewed by Rankin and said that
the student body will be given a place
on the hearing Tuesday, January 24,
provided the technical qualifications
are met.
The law requires that briefs be
presented to the Appropriations com
mittee in advance, stating the evi-
Following is a list of names of
the members of the Appropriations
committees in both the Senate and
House of Representatives, to whom
students are urged to write in pro

tuition.

dence and witnesses to be presented
at the hearing. One hundred copies
of the material to be submitted must
be sent to the committee on the day
preceding the hearing.
WRITE!
"To do this," Rankin said, "and ob
tain the necessary evidence, I earn
estly ask all students who would be
so affected to write letters stating
that they will not be able to graduate
if the increase is added, if they can
honestly say so. Send these to Box
815, Chapel Hill. All students who
have any special evidence or pleas
will be asked not only to send in their
written statements, but in addition
will be asked to appear before the
committee in Raleigh as representa-"
tives of student opinion. This, I be
lieve, as does Mr. Carl Goerch, will
have the greatest effect on the com
mittee." According to Rankin, the greatest
single advance made by the move
ment was in getting the Associated
Press to carry its story this morning
to all state papers soliciting the aid
of the citizens in the name of the stu
dent body.
