Aid Is Needed For N.C. Independent College Students
RALEIGH—The General
Assembly needs to provide
more aid for the 24,000 North
Carolina students attending
the state’s 38 independent col
leges and universities, the
chairmen of a newly formed
statewide group said
Wednesday.
“North Carolina’s indepen
dent colleges and universities
complement the fine educa
tion offered by the University
of North Carolina System and
provide a diversity of pro
grams that is unmatched in
the public sector,” former
N.C. Supreme Court Justice
David M. Britt said. “But this
balance is threatened because
an ever-widening ‘tuition gap’
exists between the public and
independent institutions.”
Judge Britt noted that tax
payers pay $2,450 for every
out-of-state undergraduate in
a public university, while
North Carolina students at in
dependent colleges and
universities receive only SBSO.
If a balance in state policies
is not achieved, independent
institutions may well become
unaffordable for most North
Carolinians. The ratio bet
•wwen public and independent.

The Silver Amalgam Filling
If you have a cavity in
one or more teeth in the
back of your mouth, often
the dentist will use a
silver amalgam filling to
protect it from decay. He
has good reasons for do
ing so.
Silver amalgam, an
alloy that includes silver,
is one of the most com
mon fillings used because
of its durability, low cost,
and ability to seal off
cavities effectively. It is
often used in the back of
the mouth because of its
color. When you open
your mouth to speak or
smile, the silver
amalgam filling is not
very noticeable.
It can last for years
before it needs to be rein
forced or replaced. A lot
depends on your oral
hygiene habits, how well
you are able to control
decay-causing bacteria

tuition in North Carolina is
currently among the highest
in the nation.
Judge Britt, one of three co
chairmen of the 400-member
Citizens Concerned for Higher
Education Committee, said
the group will work through
this session of the General
Assembly for increased aid to
North Carolina students at in
dependent colleges and
universities. “We feel that the
Governor and members of the
General Assembly will sup
port us in our goal,” he said.
Mabel Claire Maddrey of
Raleigh, a member of
Meredith College’s Board of
Advisors, said independent
women’s colleges and church
related institutions will find it
increasingly difficult to main
tain their ability to attract
students if the tuition gap is
not addressed by the state.
“These church-related
schools provide programs
aimed at the moral and
spiritual development of our
young people - programs the
public universities are pro
hibited from providing,” Mrs.
Maddrey said. “They also are
small enough to provide more
-individualized attention , to
in your mouth. A lot
depends, too, on where
the filling is located. If it’s
in an area where your
heaviest grinding and
chewing takes place it
will be more subject to
wear.
But if you get regular
dental checkups, your
dentist will be on the
lookout to make sure all
your fillings are doing the
job they’re intended to
do: protect your teeth.

aim of promoting better

students who need the type of
education offered in a
smaller, more personal
setting.”
C.E. Boulware of Durham,
a former professor and head
of the math department at
N.C. Central University,
stressed the educational op
portunities provided by
historically black institutions.
“Also, the continued vitali
ty of these institutions makes
business sense,” said
Boulware, who is a trustee at
Barber-Scotia College and
trustee emeritus at Duke
University. “If the 24,00 North
Carolina students at indepen
dent institutions were to at
tend public universities, the
cost to the state would be SBO
million next year, not in
cluding construction costs.
Our request would cost only
$3.5 million next year,”
Boulware said.
John Henley, president of
the Association of Indepen
dent Colleges and Univer
sities, noted that the recom
mended state budget provides
no additional money to meet
the Association’s request to
raise individual student sup
port from SBSO to $1,025 next
year. TTie continuation budget
does include a $75 per student
hike (to $3673) in tax support
for undergraduates at public
universities, not including
salary increases, while no tui
tion increase is recom
mended. “This is pricing
many students out of having
a choice about the kind of col
lege program they might
want or need,” he said.
