Of Entire Student Body in
Financial Crisis.
Before unprecedented enthu
siasm manifested by the 1,200
students who attended assembly
yesterday morning, president
Frank Porter Graham spoke on
the present financial crisis which
the University is facing.
At the conclusion of his ad
dress and his plea for "concen
trated attention on those prob
lems which are most imminent,"
Mayne Albright, president of
the! student union, rose and
pledged the support of the stu
dent body to plans for the re
establishment of student loan
funds and to every other ex
pedient that might be necessary.
President Graham emphatic
ally stated that the University
Tvould not contradict its former
policy of leaving student fees
untouched. "We mean to pro
tect student fees, laboratory up
keeps, board and dormitory up
keeps . . . and the general main
tenance of a stripped plant. We
have cut everything else . . . I
mean cut while the blood ran.
Now we want to restore many
vital things such as the News
Letter and the Learned Journals
from an emergency fund which
we propose to raise."
Drive for JLoari Funds,
In response to the interest
evidenced by an unusual attend
ance, President Graham explain
ed the drive for the student loan
funds. "Our immediate con
cern is with the student loan
funds, which are drained dry.
