a China. In Nanking, the first thing
'Hey bomb is schools, then hospitals

Wouldn't You
Like To Know?
' As most Carolina students know,
Dick Tracy is taking a vacation at a
mountain resort in the Carolina hills
somewhere.
Wanting to know a little more
about the resort, three students,
Dodgie Cohen, Jerry Winters, and
Norman Klitenick yesterday mailed
a card to the author of the comic
strip, inquiring the exact whereabouts
of "Pop's" place. The boys stated
that they had organized a Dick Tracy
club and were anxious to visit the
famous detective and obtain the lat
est methods used in criminology to
track down fugitives from justice.
Further developments depend upon
the hoped-for reply from ' Tracy's
"father."

HIGHWAY SURVEY
Tentative Cost
Of 750,000
To Be Fixed
A survey of the proposed four-lane
boulevard between Chapel Hill and
Durham is now being conducted by
T. A. Burton, division engineer, at the
request of S. M. Bason, member of
the state highway commission from
this district.
The survey was officially author
ized by the highway commission after
a recent meeting in Chapel Hill of a
committee consisting of citizens from
Durham and Chapel HilL
Availability and cost of the high
way, tentatively estimated at around
$750,000, will be determined by the
survey. Plans call for a four-lane
boulevard, divided by a parkway of
grass and shrubbery, with two lanes
of one-way traffic on either side.
SYKES SUGGESTS
Judge Robert H. Sykes of Durham,
suggested that the state highway com
mission finance the construction out
of its reserve fund. However, Bason
stated that the commission voted
against making the appropriation at
its last meeting but authorized him
to proceed with the survey if he
deemed it advisable. Bason added, un
officially though, that he did not be
lieve the commission as a body would
oppose a move to secure an appropria
tion from the state legislature.
At its recent meeting, the group of
citizens backing the' proposal selected
an executive committee to place the
proposal before the legislature some
time during its present session. The
committee Js headed, by Judge Sykes,
and consists of R. M. Gantt, Col. M.

HIGH COST OF
MAINTENANCE IS
GIVEN AS REASON
Graham Says That
Project Finances
Have Been Covered
By MORRIS ROSENBERG
Since "a great building program
increases the need for maintenance,"
students face an increase in the cost
of University tuition fees.
In his biennial message to the
General Assembly Thursday, Governor
Clyde R. Hoey declared that "the
state is confronted with the necessity
of calling upon students ... to make
a larger contribution in the form of
tuition charges, as much as we may
regret that course."
Governor Hoey based his recom
mendation on the increased expenses
at the higher institutions of learning
in the state because of the enlarged
building programs He felt that this
increase could be borne more equit
ably by increased tuition than by in
creased appropriations. The Governor
pointed out that the cost of tuition
at the University is comparatively
low as compared with other schools,
both state-owned institutions and
those supported by large endow
ments. FEES AT MINIMUM IN PAST
The policy adopted by the Univer
sity in the past has been to keep fees
at a minimum in order to allow those
of somewhat meager means to have
the privilege of obtaining the benefits
of a higher education.
In his speech Hoey declared: "Our
institutions of higher learning are
filled to capacity. A - great : building
program increases the need for main
tenance. They are bearing aloft the
banner of learning and have dedicat-.
ed themselves in a fine way to the
high task of bringing knowledge to
the feet of service. They are torch
bearers for the development of a
finer state. The state is confronted
with the necessity of calling upon
students attending these institutions
to make a larger contribution in the
form of tuition charges, as much as "
we may regret that course. This is
not out of line with all other institu
tions of learning, even those heavily
endowed have found it necessary, to
make higher tuition charges. This
would now seem to be essential to
aid in meeting increased cost of main
tenance. Even then North Carolina
is making a most substantial invest
ment in every student who graduates
from any of her institutions.
"When the present building pro
gram is completed every North Caro
linian will have cause to be proud of
the provision made at the various
educational institutions for increased
service. The magnitude of the pro
gram can be visualized when I tell
you that the Greater University of
North Carolina, at the units in Chapel
Hill, Raleigh, and Greensboro, will
have around 30 new buildings or
projects when the work is finished.
Somewhat similar provision has been
made as far as circumstances would
permit for other colleges at Cullow
