Measure Would Let - Certain Students Give Own Notes North Carolina's House Appropria tions committee Tuesday asked refer ence ot the committee on higher educa tion of a bill introduced Monday by Representative Thompkins of Jackson to allow certain students to give thier personal notes as part payment for expenses at state-owned schools. As stated in the measure, the priv ilege would ' be limited to graduates of North Carolina high schools who finished in the upper third of their classes. The loan would not excede $200 per year and could not be used for payment of not more than half of a student's charges for tuition, fees, room and board. The notes would be repaid semi-annually at five per cent interest, the first payment, $50, to be due January 1 of the year after the student grad uated or withdrew from school. After the initial payment of $50, subsequent payments would be increased $10 each. It is estimated that a graduate who would have borrowed the maximum of $200 each year would have repaid the note five years after his graduat ion. Because a copy of the bill had not been received yesterday, University of ficials refused to comment on the bill.
