UNC Ranks Tenth
In State Support
The Consolidated University
ranks 10 in the nation in the
amount of state tax support
received for annual operating
expenses.
This ranking is on a list com
piled by Dr. M. M. Chambers
of Indiana University. Cham
bers is a noted educator and
publisher of a monthly news
letter on state legislation af
fecting higher education.
"It seems probable," Cham
bers said, "that the top 20
state universities in terms of
annual operating income would
also be the top 20 in the sub
jective opinion of academici
ans." Chambers figures show that
the Consolidated University
received $32,238,000 in State
Appropriations for the fiscal
year 1963-64. In 1965-66, the ap
propriation increased to $43,
247,000. UNC ranked No. 10
both years.
The University of Califor
nia ranked first on the list,
receiving $155,384,000 for 1965
66. Other state universities
ahead of UNC were the State
University of New York, $149,-

Planetarium
Attendance
Record Set
Morehead Planetarium Di
rector, A. F. Jenzano, an
nounced that the attendance
figures for the month of July
at the famed Chapel Hill insti
tution broke all records and
exceeded even the most opti
mistic expectations. Said Mr.
Jenzano, "Normally, we count
on 6-7000 people a month to
attend the Planetarium pro
gram during the summer. This
July, over 9,500 people came to
the Planetarium to see the
presentations."
When asked how he account
ed for the surge in attendance,
Mr. Jenzano replied, "Our pro
gram this summer, 'Moon
City', is quite timely and this
surge seems to be born out of
its popularity. Also we are be
ginning to feel the impact of
Federally sponsored programs
such as the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act and
Project Heardstart, both of
which make funds available to
schools for educational field
trips." .
The Planetarium is self
supporting in its day-to-day op
eration with funds derived
from receipts. "We try to keep
. our admission rates as low as
possible without denying use
os this facility to anyone, and
still provide sufficient money
for economic stability. Major
improvements have, from time
to time, been funded by The
Morehead Foundation. The lat
est Foundation gift provides
for a completely new model
Zeiss Planetarium Instrument
and auxiliary devices costing
nearly a quarter of a million
dollars to be manufactured
and installed in two years,"
Mr. Jenzano said.
