Mr. and Mrs. Charles Plemmons I
and their two small daughters
have returned from a three weeks'
vacation in Florida.
? We appear, largely unheralded,
tu be approaching something of a
major crisis in the educational
life of North Carolina," says Presi- ?
dent Gordon Gray of the Univer
sity of North Carolina in his an
nual report, prepared for presen- i
talion to the Board of Trustees at
a meeting in Raleigh Monday. ?
This observation is made in a.
section devoted . to "budget re
quests" for the three Institutions
? the University in Chapel Hill,
State College, and Woman's Col
lege ? usually referred to in the
past as units of the Consolidated
University or Greater University
but more recently simply as the
University of North Carolina, as "
the report points out.
"Two lines of development are
converging," President Gray tells
the trustees in a forthright, real
istic analysis of problems to be,
met. "As is well known, state tax
revenues have been declining dur- ,
ing the current year. The prospect
is that, far from having a surplus
as in recent years, present rev
enues will just barely meet cur-,
rent expenditures. On the other
hand, increasing enrollments, and
other equally pressing imperatives,
require that the public schools and
the University not only proceed
at current levels of expenditures 1
during the next biennium, but also
seek certain specified increases."
Discussion of the monetary
phase of the institution's needs,
now before the current General
Assembly, is only one of many
items brought out in the compre
hensive report, President Gray's
first general message on status and
progress since his five-year report
delivered last year. In all it em
braces 20 different facets of Uni
versity operation. (,
"In conclusion," the 2$-page
printed report modestly states "it ?
is the judgment of the President
that our institutions have, by and
large, continued to make progress"'
during the year. We face the large
problems of the future with dedica
tion and hope."
