STAFF ENLARGED
School
rain
What is the University doing to
train more and better teachers for
the public school system in the face
o( the swelling enrollments?
One answer was provided this
week by Dean Arnold Perry of the
University's School of Education.
The School of Education is being
strengthened. More students are go
ing into teaching. Dean Perry an
nounced today three new additions
to the faculty, aside from the ap
pointment of Dr. Ben Fountain of
Itocky Mount some weeks ago.
Dean Perry revealed that under
graduate enrollment in the School of
Education here has increased 40 per
cent since 1955. An additional ten
per cent increase is expected with
the enrollment here this week.
Also on the rise is the number of
part-time students doing graduate
work or taking post-baccalaureate
work to complete requirements for
teaching certificates in North Caro
lina and other states.
Part-time enrollment has jumped
27 per cent in four years, and an
other five per cent increase is pre
dicted for 1953-59.
Continued growth for several years
is expectel because of the strong
demands for teachers, Perry said.
"For the past decade the demand
for elementary ' school teachers has
been exceedingly high and the State
of North Carolina has reached each
new school year with a shortage of
more than a 1,000 fully qualified

In Men's Dorms Saturday
Social rooms in eight men's dorm
itories will be open Saturday to all
guests.
The opening of social rooms has
been seldom done in the past but
may become more frequent in the
future, pending the results of Sat
urday's large-scale experiment, ac
cording to Student Body President
Don Furtado.
The move for opening the eight
social rooms came yesterday at a

"During the next six years the
most acute shortage will apparently
be in the junior and senior high
schools as the children bom im
mediately following the close of
Worll War II are now of junior high
school age," he continued.. "Each
year for the next six years there
will be an increase in the demand
for teachers prepared for junior high
school work and the variols subject
departments in the North Carolina
high schools.
NEW STAFFMEMBERS
Joining the UNC staff to help
meet .the teacher demand are four
new staff members: JUiss Annie Lee

Medical School Money
To Help In Research
Carolina's School of Medicine
has received a $186,000 grant en
abling it to establish a new re
search program for the next five
years, Dean W. Reece Berryill
has announced.
School professors' recent discov
eries pointing to allergic and in
fectious processes as factors caus
ing major heart and kidney di
seases led to the grant.
The sum was awarded by the
Institute of Allergy and Infectious
Diseases of the National Institutes
of Health. It will support an ex
panded program of .study in mi
crobiology and the related clinical
fields of allergy and infectious
disease.
Director of the new research
will be Dr. William J. Cromartie,
associate professor of medicine and
fective efforts to develop ways to
I respectively. Tracy will work in the
field of educational administration,
and in an improvement program for
secondary school mathematics teach
ing. Rogers will 'assist in the Edu
cation School's graduate centers as
well as work in the school adminis
trators program.
EMPHASIS
Passage in late Augjst of the Na
tional Defense Education Act of
1958 by the National Congress fore
casts still greater emphasis upon
teacher education in order that the
programs in science, mathematics
foreign language and guidance may
be strengthened in the public
schools, Dean Perry noted.
The staff of the School of Educa
tion at Carolina has been studying
the new Defense Act. for the past
three weeks and is making plans to
take care of increals;d enrollments
number of fellowship; and the sub
that will be assured ' by the large
Lantial 'stipends to 'be paid from
federal funds for stuients who are
working in various filds covered by
the National Defense Education Act.
Special emphasis i$ being placed
upon the graduate offerings in die
School of Education. Since the doc-
j toral proeram in Education was
started slightly over 30 years ago,
more than 100 students have com
pleted doctoral programs and are
now placed in .responsible adminis
tratvie positions and college teach
ing positions in some of the best
institutions in the Uaited States. A
One
bacteriology.
The program will provide post
doctoral fellowships and fulltime
residencies for students wishing to
specialize in these fields.
"We need many more individu
als trained in the basic'science of
microbiology and the clinical
fields of allergy and infectious di
seases, Dr. Cromartie said, "if ef
treat and control these important
diseases are to be made."
Participating in the program as
teachers andor researchers in ad
dition to Cromartie are faculty
members Dr. D. A. MacPherson,
chairman fo the Bacteriology De
partment; Dr. Edward C. Currien,
chairman of hte Pediatrics Depart
ment;and Dr. Charles II. Burnett,
chairman of the Department of
Medicine; and specialists in seven
fields.
few are holding important adminis
trative positions in international edu
cation. Four years ago the University
started a program for the develop
ment of graduate centers in Edu
cation. One is sow in operation in
Charlotte with an average enroll
ment exceeding 100. A similar grad
uate center is in operation in
Goldsboro and plans are underway
for programs of this nature in High
Point and Fayetteville.
Under the direction of Prof. Guy
B. Phillips, former dean of the
School of Education 'and until 1953
director of the summer school, the
field services program is being con
siderably expanded to include study
groups for superintendents, assistant
superintendents and supervisors.
Included will be a special program
for junior high tschool principals to
meet the need for improved leader
ship in this rapidly growing par t of
the North Carolina public school
system.
An important part of the work of
the School of Education has to do
with the training of school adminis
trators. A considerable portion of
this work has been financed in
recent years by a grant from the
W. K. Kellogg Foundation. In this
program the School of Education has
worked in cooperation with other
schools m the southern . region
through the Kellogg Cooperative
Program in Educational Adminis
ti ation.

$62,700 Grant
For Psychology
Is Announced
Psychological research at the
University has been given a boost
by a $62,700 grant from the Na
tional Science Foundation, Psy
chometric Laboratory Director Dr.
Lyle V. Jones has announced.
The ward will facilitate research
to be conducted during a five year
period, Dr. Jones explained. Stu
died wil be methods for measuring
and analyzing simultaneously a
number of different psychological
traits and characteristics.
The new program constitutes
part of a series of recent research
projects undertaken by the Psy
chometric Lab staff members.
Among others are (1) the revision
of group tests in reading compre
hension from the fourth grade to
the superior adult level; (2) the
recording of test scores in prim
ary mental abilities, reading, arith
metics, and spelling of children
age six and later at age nine in or
der to predict academic success
in school;
(3) The study of the pattern of
growth and subsequent decline of
mental abilities with advancing
age; and (4) the analysis of 150
pairs of identical and fraternal
twins with a number ofpsy chologi-;
cal tests and physical measure
ments to make a "twin diagnosis.'"
OTHER STUDIES'

currently underway at the lab. Two
are financed by governmental
agencies, one dealing with pre
ference for food combinations and
the other with acceptance of cer
tain clothing and equipment items
by Army enlisted men.
The other two are concerned
with aphasia, the partial or total
loss of speech due to brain mal
function. Lab staff members include Dr.

Faculty Pay Increase
Is Stressed By Friday
The Consolidated University of Xoitli Carolina yester
day asked the State Advisory Budget Commission lor an in
crease of $4,41)0,881) in operational appropriations for the
1 959 -fio university year.
A. H. Shepard, business officer and treasurer, said the
budget also called for a $4,893,175 increase in the io(o-(ii
Textile Study
Funds Asked
By N. C. State
RALEIGH i? The Advisory
Budget Commission was asked
Thursday to approve a new textile
research program and a two-year,
non-degree technical course in ag
riculture at North Carolina State
College.
The proposed textile research pro
gram calls for $159,780 each year
of the 1959-61 biennium. The request
for the two-year agriculture course
is for $24,550 the first year of the
biennium and $49,833 the second.
Dr. Carey H. Bostian, State Ccl -
lege chancellor, told tlie commis
sion the new program is basic and
pioneering textile research "would
leap enormous benefits from the
amount involved."
About $500,00 a year is being
spent at State College on applied
textile research. Bostian pointed out
that approximately $2,800,00,000
worth of textile goods are manufac
tured in North Carolina each year.
The proposed new program would
be closely allied with the teaching
end graduate education programs
cf the State College School of Tex
tiles and with the present industry-supported
applied research pro
gram. I
Bostian said the new two-year ag
ricultural course would be taught
in separate classes from the 4-year
students and by teachers especially
qualified for this type of instruction.
In addition to farming, graduates
could qualify for work in hatcheries,
food service, processing plants,
dairy plants, greenhouses, fertilizer
plants, farm retail stores, and other
farm related busisess.
WC Requests
$193,578
For Biennium
RALEIGH W Chancellor Gor
don W. Blackwell of Woman's Col
lege said today $193,578 is needed
by the school during the next bien
nium to restore budget reductions
due to receipts deficiencies.
He told the Advisory Budget Com
mission $90356 is needed the first
year and the $103,222 the second
year "to correct for errors in re
ceipts estimates in the past."
Blackwell said that over the past
years "they have been projecting
receipts of about $30,000 more than
they could realize." The receipts,
he explained, are from student fees.
The college is affecting a saving
this year by not filling staff va
cancies, he said.
Burglar Takes Food
At Fraternity House
Chapel Hill Police today were
looking for a well-fed burglar who
got plenty of staple edibles last
night at the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
fraternity house on South Colum
bia St.
Fraternity officers reported that
the following items were taken
from the kitchen at the house: 23
pounds of butter, 10 pounds of
cheese, 35 pounds of sugar, nin?
dozen eggs, a gallon of mayon
naise, a dozen heads of lettuce, and
10 pounds of tomatoes. They val
ued the stolen &oods at $34.50.
xpenses
uuugei over lt-xio-oy s ngure oi
$19,015,505.
The Commission was asked to
approve salary increases of $4,749,
132 for UNC during the next bien
nium to maintain and strengthen
good teaching.
Consolidated University Presi
dent William C. Friday told the
commission, "We have made good
progress in our salary program but
more must be done if we are to
meet the problems before us."
Salary increases are "our first
priority throughout the university
in the "B" budget," Friday said.
The State Board of Higher Edu
cation has recommended salary
increases of $2,700,000 for the bien
nium. This figure, however, did not
include academic staff personnel
1 such as librarians, administrators
etc.
The president pointed out that
the university was among the ton
40 in the nation. He added that in
order for the university to stay on
a high level, the faculty salaries
must be increased.
Although President Friday
stressed the needed hike in facul
ty, salaries, he briefly discussed
research piograms, library servic
es and service functions (extension
department and adult education).
Friday strongly endorsed "the
principle of flexibility in the hand
ling" of instituiional budgets. We
can make a much more efficient
and wiser use of our time and of
the resources entrusted to us if
we have the flexibility to place
them where the need appears
greatest."
Each of the three universities,
Carolina, Woman's College and N.
C. State College, spoke on the
needs of their individual college.
Shepard said the Advisory Bud
get Commission earlier asked for
a delay in requests for capital im
provements. Ho said this budget
would probably be released some
time in October.
New Dorms
Free Steele
The addition cf 727 new dormi
tory rooms at Chapel Hill has freed
Steel building on the campus for
administrative use beginning this
year, according to Chancellor Wil
liam B. Aycock and J. Arthur
Branch, business manager.
Formerly housing students,
Steele is undergoing minor altera
tions enabling it to handle account
ing, personnel, purchasing and pay
roll activities. According to uni
versity officials, centralization in
Steele will effect more efficient
and economical operations of facil
ities formerly scattered through
out the campus.
B"uilt in 1922, Steele has housed
72 students annually for some
time. However, plans for relocat
ing the several administrative of
fices has been under consideration
for a number of years and the
transformation will bring the plans
into being.
Approximately 60 University ad
ministrative personnel, together
with their equipment nad records
are in the process of relocating in
the brick building. The offic
space vacated by these depart
ments will be re-allocated by the
Chancellor's committee on space,
headed by Dean James L. Godfrey.
The basement of Steele wil con
tinue to be used by the Booketeria.
