STATE LAWS
TO BE ENFORCED
by W-itticm Eevring
Following the wiaeiy puoiicized
criticism by the State Auditor, of
our students' accounts receivable,
Tha School's Business Office , has
been instructed to adhere strictly
to the State regulations concerning
the collection of students' tuition
and fees.
In the past the Business Office,
knowing of cases of particular per
sonal hardship or a student's forth
coming ability to pay his accounts
through summer work, etc., has given
the student every opportunity to
settle his account. Under the new
regulations, however, such paterna
listic leniency will no longer be
permitted, nor can the Office accept
a pledge or a promissory note for
the unpaid balances.
The following points summarize
The North Carolina Department of Ad
ministration regulations, uniform
for all institutions of higher edu
cation :
--The policy of the State is that
all student accounts are due and
payable on registration day and must
be paid in full prior to the close
of the quarter, semester, or other
period for which the student has re
gistered.

YOU GOING?

This summer the Drama Dep^art-
ment will be well represented in
this state's outdoor drama program,

program read: The North Carolina
School of the Arts presents .
To begin with, as many of you know,
Paul Green is a member of the Board
of Advisors of the school; he wrote
The Lost Colony. Duncan Noble, a
member of the Dance faculty puts the
entire production together during
the first three weeks o£ the summer.
Then Joe Layton adds the final touch
during the last week of rehearsal.
(There is a possibility that Mr.
Layton may be a visiting director
next year at N.C.S.A.)
Mike Wiesman and Margie Perkins
will head the production end of the
drama for the first three weeks
"teaching" the show. They are both
students in the Department of De
sign. Johnny Walker, a former stu
dent of the Dance Department will
set the dances for the production
