"It is true that all of us have impressions based only upon the governor's address and reports in the pr's.s. Hut if my picture is correct, they are asking us to teach more students at the same staff level and they are asking us to maintain our faculty in the cumpctrt'uc market without sa'ar increases." he said. "If thesr conclusions are true it (the budget) will modify the character of the University very seriously. Teaching time for the individual student will be cut down. Small classes will become larger." Dr. Holman concluded. Prof. C.corgp Y. Horner called the budget, "almost unrealistic." lie said that it ".simply will no', p'Tinit the University to operate at thf present enrollment and maintain its staff, l'.vcryone is look ing for teachers and a:s a result of th demand, salaries are going up" ProffcsNor Horner also said that when a professor is offered a or 50 per cent increase he is go ing to le.ive. local roots and loyal tirn notwithstanding. Emphasis was plaec-d on niim hers of students in classes by Urof. l.vtnan Cotton. lie said that the present trend to larger classes will cause the teachers to lose contact with the mind of the pupil. "If 1 had a d iss of 1 ."(, I could never invite the stud"nts in for a eon ferriuc." he said. "I had a class of 10 in modern poetry recently nod I felt that the sense of con tact was far greater and the stu (Iti's were 1c-s willing to corn t" petetive market. I don't know' if the people in the state realise it, but there is much more ompete ion today." "I feel very badly about it," he continued. "If it goes unchanged we will be very much hampered here. We do more than teach and grade papers. We put in time on committees, boards and research for articles and books and a big book takes years of conccntra.tcd effort." "Obviously the whole thing is inadequate," said Prof. Dougald Mac Millan. "We go through some thing similar to this every time the budget comes out. I've seen them all since 1014. You've got to convince the legislature with the presentation of the University's ease to the proper legislaivc com mittees. You must, get those per sons in the Legislature who are favorably inclined toward the Uni versity (o present your case." "Any attempt to limit the Uni-! versity's forward progress is a stunning blow." said Prof. Peter G Phialas. lie said the budget hurt it not only quanfativcly, but qualita tively as well, and that the school can no long compete in the market fer professors. Prof. II. K. Pussell said, "the University is growing and unless the staff and resources of the li brary can keep up with the grow th, the kind of education he Uni versity can provide for graduate and undergraduate students will become more and more impersonal and diluted." Concerning the library. Prof r: ussel 1 said that the budget cuts are a mistake and that it will ul- tliere is "a good deal of satisfac tion in knowing what a student is interesed in and his approaches to problems." However, he said this relaticnship becomes impossible in larger classes, leaving the student in the position of having to dis cover things for himself. Chest Drive Goes To Rebels Carolina students will be under writing the education of Hungarian students who escaped after the 1956 uprising when contributions are made to the 1059 Campus Chest. Education of Hungarian students comes under the budget of the World University Service, which is one of the three agencies being supported in the annual Campus Chest drive. Of the $3,000 Campus Chest goal this year, 40 per cent or $1,200 has been designated for the World Uni versity Service (WUS). The two other participating agencies in this year's drive are Goettingen scholar ships and the Class for Mentally Re tarded Children of Orange County. The Campus Chest drive has been scheduled for the week of March 1-7. The World University Service went to the aid of Hungarian students in 1956 and set up a special loan fund the next year. Again this year, the WUS will contribute more mony to the education of Hungarian students. In addition to the actual educa tional aid to Hungarian and other students, the World University Ser vice has sent funds to fight disease, buy food and assist in building housing projects where the need arises. The International World Univers ity Service was started to give re lief to universities in post-World War I Europe. After the Second World War, WUS again actively participat id in a program to aid refugees, pro vide scholarships, food and medi cine. The administration for the World University Service consists of a In ternational Secretariat in Geneva, Switzerland, and 40 branches else where in the world. in ine united Mates, seven regions hand'e the operation of the WUS. Sponsoring organizations of the World University Service are Cath olic, Protestant and Jewish student groups. The local Y, through the Campus Chest drive, is the active sponsoring organization on the Carolina campus. s 111 rooks ii i Asserts HOMEWORK Students Give Models By RON SHUMATE A group of UNC Air Science students recently donated some of their homework to needy children and orphanages. But the homework did not con sist of mathematics problems, term papers or the history of ancient Greece or any such standard class room assignment. Rather, each student in Capt. W. E. Moore's freshman Air Science class of the Air Force ROTC was required to build some type of air vehicle. The models raneed from the earliest types of "flying ma chines" to the recent Atlas ICBM. The models were entered in a contest and four winners were pre sented with letters of commenda tion frpm professor of Air Science Lt. Col. F. W. Swann. The win ners also received five merits, strictly a military award. After the contest, most of the models were distributed to needy children by the Chapel Hil Junior Chamber of Commerce and the Empty Stocking Fund. Each student bought his model from his own funds. The purpose of the assignment, according to Capt. Moore, was to familiarize the students with the shapes, forms and control systems of air vehicles and with the basic principles of aerodynamics. The winners and the type of model they built are Lloyd Moore, an X-13 Vertajet; John Summey, a Snark ICRM; Evan King, an F 104 Starfighter, and Jim Carver, an Atlas ICBM. Judges in the contest were Ma jor William D. Locke, Gen. F. Carlyle Shepard and Lt. Col. Swann. The models were judged on the basis of attention to detail and craftsmanship. Capt. Moore said the project will probably be repeated next year. "There isn't much time left," , South," Hays called the present said Brooks Hays last night to a time "a period of great conflict and UNC audience. The South must controversy."

We as Christians and Americans must see that these hopes are realized. We must take steps to make the American dream of equality of op portunity a reality," said the form er Arkansas congressman. Calling himself a Southern mod erate, Hays said we must accept the unpopular laws along with the popular one. "The rule of law is an ideal to be held firmly. It Is a precious value in the American heritage." Hays spoke out for the preser vation of the public school system, censuring Governor Faubus of Ark ansas who said the system was ex pendable. The speaker said he thought con science would have driven us to take the same actions had the Su preme Court decision not been pro nounced. "We knew things weren't right; they did not agree with the standards of the South or of the 1 nation." Hays said his views coincided with the Southern author who said, "There was a South of fears and misgivings; that South is dead. The South of human kindness, justice, and peace lives. Referring to the morale of Lit le Rock citizens, Hays said the people had (suffered, but he thought the "moral resources" of the people would meet the crisis. Hays, speaking under the aus- A i.

The member of the House Foreign Af Phi meets on the fourth floor of New fairs committee and of the U. S. Phi Proposal Would Abolish Military Draft Should the peace-time military draft be abolished in the United States? This is the question to be discussed by the Philanthropic Lit erary Society tonight at 8 o'clock. A bill presented by David Matt hews, chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, would have the peace-time military draft abolished, while maintaining "a comparative ly small, professional armed force by means of increased salaries and improved living conditions." The bill further states that due to the draft, the lives and careers of young American men are highly un certain, and the turnover is great thereby depriving the armed forces of highly trained specialists. Since experts in technical skills are badly needed by the U. S. armed services in this age of great technical ad vancement, it is felt that a con siderably smaller military establish ment than exists at present would be just as effective, if it were com posed entirely of experienced and professional soldiers.
