Under provisions of the Advisory Budget commission's recommenda tions, the Tar Heel tuition rate will be $125; according to yesterday's sur vey, the national average is $43.64. NOW PENDING The proposal, now pending before the joint appropriations committee of the house and senate, would also boost tuition fees for out-of-state stu dents beyond the national average. Under its provisions, non-residents would pay the University $225, while (Continued on page two) Is Center Of Freshmen Decide To For Admission To Woman's College Apply At least five petitions of ; one kind or another have been circulated over the campus during the first 14 days of the winter quarter. Ranging from a request to Hedy Lamarr to become the house mother of Aycock dormi tory, to a petition to the representa tives in the state legislature to kill the proposed, action of raising tuition fees, the various petitions, all ac- ; companied by letters to the editor, have brought considerable comment and speculation as to the value of such things. FROSH COMPLAIN The scene of concerted action seems to be in Aycock, freshman dor mitory.

W. Hobbs of the College! of Arts and Sciences is now on leave for a period of three months on the Kenan Foundation. Professor A. C. Howell of the Eng lish department, on recommendation of Dean Hobbs, has been appointed Assistant Dean in charge of the Arts and Sciences school for the period of Hobbs' absence. The dean's leave began yesterday and he is expected to spend the three month period in Florida. The exact date of Hobbs' departure has : not been set, according to -Mrs. Hobbs, who, with her son, will accompany the dean, because of the necessity for Hobbs to mdergo an operation for the removal of tonsils. Mrs. Hobbs stated that if doctors permitted Dean Hobbs to go to Florida before the operation, they will probably leave this week. Otherwise,, the trip will have to be postponed until Hobbs re covers sumciently from the tonsil operation. 140 Mile Ride On Bikes Wins $38 Tom Hayes and Emmett Sebrell, University students, are $38 richer than they were last Friday. But they earned their money the hard .way. A week or so ago they laid bets with Kappa Alpha fraternity brothers and other students that they could pedal bicycles the 140 miles to their homes in Charlotte within 24 hours. With their money down, their second-hand bikes greased up, and their leg-motors turning up smoothly, the pair took off from Steele dormi tory at 2:10 a. m. Saturday morn ing. Sixteen hours and 55 minutes later at 7:05 p. m. they were in Char lotte. En route by way of Pittsboro, Asheboro and Concord they ate break fast of eggs, bacon and toast and consumed 70 cents worth of cold drinks each. Their only mechanical difficulties were a broken pedal and chain. But never again, they vehemently swore yesterday. They'll tell you $38 is a lot of money and always wel come, but when it means frost-bitten feet for Hayes and a trick knee jump ing out of place three times for Se brell well, just NEVER AGAIN. Incidentally, Pete Mullis and Vance Hobbs, who live in Charlotte and know how great the distance is, and who have the reputation hereabouts of selecting nothing but "sure-fire" bets, had their pocketbooks figura tively "taken for a ride." Phi To Hear Report By Lobbyist Rankin John W.

DUP0NT RENEWS CHEMISTRY AWARD FOR GRADUATES 750 Fellowship To Be Given This Year For Third Time The University chemistry depart ment announced yesterday that the Dupont de Nemours company has re newed the Dupont fellowship to be awarded by the department to a grad uate student who is in his last year of residence and working on his thesis. This marks the third year the de partment has received the $750 Du pont fellowship. Given only to lead ing chemistry departments in the United States, the fellowships are re ceived by 18 departments every year. The University of North Carolina and the University of Virginia are the only southern institutions which re ceive them. The graduate student receiving the award may do research in any field. For this reason, the chemistry depart ment feels that the Dupont fellowship is one of the best the department re ceives. FIRST YEAR David Milne received the fellowship the first year it was awarded. He did extensive research work on cotton in connection with the work of Dr. F. K. Cameron of the University. Last year P. H. Latimer was the recipient of the award. With Dr. R. W. Bost he has worked with organic and synthetic drugs. Announcement of the name of the student who will receive the award this year will not be made until April 1. Thirteen fellowships are given each year to the chemistry graduates. Three are teaching fellowships, which re quire teaching service in the depart ment but allow the receiver to work on any subject that he wishes. Five fellowships worth $1000 are given: a Naval Research Laboratory" fellow ship, three Textile Foundation fellow ships, and one from the Cotton Foun dation. Students awarded these fellow ships must do research in special fields. Also given to the University chemistry department are the Vick, the Le Doux, and the Virginia Smelt ing company fellowships.

The petition, passed by the junior senior and sophomore cabinets and to be delivered in behalf of the total 1400 YMCA members, cited self-help figures to oppose the increase. "The YMCA which operates the Self -Help bureau, receives ah annual average of 1500 formal applications from old and prospective students for self-help," the petition read. "This year the office has assigned 600 local part-time jobs and 270 NYA jobs to around 800 students selected from the list of approximately 1500 applicants. Of the 630 applicants for whom there were no jobs, many did not get to col lege at all. It is also a safe estimate that of the 870 who were given jobs, the majority of them could not have come without this assistance . . ." "Most serious consideration of such facts" was requested of the Legislature.
