administration is currently spend
ing seven per cent more than

the general fund has gotten into ;
such bad shape from overspend
ing that revenue from license

Honors Westbrook
At their regular meeting last
Thursday, the trustees of the school
raised the tuition that Campbell
College will charge all students next
year by $60, To tlhe fees of out-of
state students they added an ad
ditional $50, for a total increase of
$100.
In beginning their sessions, the
trustees honored the late Earl McD.
Westbrook of Dunn and Herbert W.
Jones of Kinston, former trustees
who had* died1 since the last meet
ing of the group. Tributes were
spoken by Rev. Tom Freeman, pas
tor of the First Baptist Church of
Dunn for Mr. Westbrook and by
Spurgeon Boyce of Durham for Mr.
Jones.
A principal speaker of the ses
sion, Ben C. Fisher, executive sec
retary of the N. C. Council on
Christian Education, said that he
does not subscribe to the commonly
held view that within 15 to 20 years
church - related colleges generally
will be out of business. "The poor
ones vail," he said. “The good ones
are here to stay.”
Under the new tuition rule board
ing students from North Carolina
will pay a minimum total of $926.50
and out-of-staters, $976.50 for a
two-semester stint at Campbell. The
cost to day students will be $536.50.
In announcing the action of the
board, President L. H. Campbell ex
plained that the increase was fur
ther planned adjustment of Camp
bell’s income to meet greater ex
pense of operating as a senior col
lege. Campbell, In the third year
of a new senior college program
is continuing to install required
upper lvel courses and employing
instructors academically qualified
to teaoh them.
Normal operating costs have risen
for all schools, the college head
noted, and the present Increase does
not represent a departure from
Campbell’s traditional policy of
charging the minimum amount pos
sible to a school not supported by
public funds, he said.
