He told members of the joint appropriations committee he hop ed a program could be worked out in the next two years to be presented to the 1959 General As sembly. In outlining the legislators the needs of the st3t3 schools, Ram sey proposed operation of the in stitutions on a 2-mnth basis. At present, he noted, the colleges and university operate nine of the 12 months at full force. VNcrth Carolina is too poor a state and our college needs too great to indulge inr that kind of luxury," Ramsey added. "The state has a large investment which is partially idle for three months," he added.
