According to Shannon
Carson of North Carolina
State University, Gov, Jim
Martin revealed in a
Wednesday night phone call
that he does not support
the increase.
However, Carson said he
knew of no action the gov

Parker said.
"If we do raise it,

societal attitudes of all

Arnold Wengrow, profes
sor of drama, said a pro
bable solution is the ad
dition of make-up days to
the curriculum.
"The university could
add e:^ra days by moving
the;.^ graduation back.
Ot if administration feels
that is not feasible, then
they must start building
in snow days," said Wen
grow.
Wengrow said the cancel

eliminate vital material

However, Dorr said the
addition of snow ^ys was

Dr. Wayne Lang, profes

"Make-up days are gen
