Editor's note: State newspapers in their columns yesterday morning reacted generally against the pro posed tuition increase. The following editorial re printed from the Raleigh News and Observer not only makes a simple and clear point but quotes some com pelling statistics, A legislative news story identifies the chief opposition thus far to the proposed increase of tuition rates in State-supported institutions of higher education as taking the form of suggestions to legislators that our boys and girls cannot af ford to pay the higher rates. Surely, that ought to be a valid enough objection. Any increase which handicaps further an already handicapped group of students, a group including from a third to two thirds of the entire enrollment, represents a dramatic re versal of a State policy thus far dedicated to the achievement of universal education and the equality of educational op portunity. " If North Carolina moved in reverse direction, it will be moving directly against the tide of educational thought and practice throughout the country and immediately to a lower rank than it already holds in the scale of comparative edu cational opportunity. The table of tuition rates presented in these pages yes terday is compelling in its significance. For agricultural education among the 29 State institu tions listed, only seven states impose higher tuition rates than those current at N. G. State, while seven states among those in which tuition is lower provide free tuition. For engineering education, the showing is even more im pressive. Among the 41 State institutions listed nine only have higher tuition rates than those prevailing at N. C. State, and among those with lower rates seven provide free tuition. Moreover, if the State increases as proposed the tuition at N. C. State from S0 to S125, North Carolina's technological institution will stand with Missouri alone as the highest in the country for agriculture, and for engineering it will stand with Missouri and the University of Virginia at the peak. In the matter of tuition for liberal arts among 47 State supported institutions in the country, only ten now have rates higher than the University of North Carolina, and ten among the institutions with lower rates provide free tuition. The proposed $125 will put the University of North Caro lina also at the lonely and unenviable top with the University of Missouri, which alone now charges its native students as much as 125 for tuition. If the suggestion is made to North Carolina legislators that North Carolina boys and girls cannot afford the increase proposed, at least it has the virtue of having behind it the wisdom and experience of most of the other states of the country supporting their own institutions. Editor .Managing Editor eBusiness Manager .Circulation Manager To Tell The Truth- By Adrian John Greedy and I were sitting in his ofSce late one Saturday right. We had been working over a story for the entire day, and now it was al most finished. We looked at our watches and saw that it was almost 3 a. m. Both of us realized that a whole night had been spent in work ing over only a small part cf John Creedy's Carolina Magazine. And I know that this interview was just one of the many that he had con ducted in putting out the best and most popular magazine in years. Now John Creedy is out of school. The last, and supposedly final, vote of the readmissions board rejected him again. For he had failed, by a misunderstanding into which he en tered by mistake, to comply with the ten hours rule of this university. And that, apparently, is the sole judge of the worth of a college student. I wonder what it is that John g done that is not in line with all of the theories of education which are offered to us so profusely. This edu cation which is supposed to train us for life, and mold us to usefulness. As editor of the Carolina Magazine he gained further national fame for this university when parts cf his pe riodical were reprinted in national publications. Somewhere out in this country people learned that college boys had compiled what Maxwell Per kins called an outstanding work of Thomas Wolfe. And somewhere out in ihi country people learned that college boys had written an honest work on the South. And you can take it from me that most of the credit is John's, who hacked hewed and frenzied his magazines into shape. Now another part of this glorious ideal of education is learning how to live wisely, and with the best re sults." John certainly needed a les son in the proportioning of his time. For he was performing the great crime of serving his university, at tending to personal affairs, prepar ing for a career, and amusing him self at the same time. The unfortu nate sacrifice was in his two clasps, where John had applied for two in completes so that he could raise his marks. Later he learned that he had Letters To Over 100 Words O PLACE OF EXTRA-CURRICULA ACTIVITIES To The Editor Dear Sir: In the light of the artkle in the Tab TTrrr. whkh appeared yesterday (January 12) on the readmissions board, and particularly in view cf the rather significant campus furore over the board's actions, one rather strik ing factor merits consideration: that is, the large number of campus lead ers who were dropped, and to a large extent, readmitted. Now why did these campus leaders, these "activity boys," find themselves unable to keep with their courses? I cannot believe that Carolina students chose as their leaders men who were simply lacking in the mental capacity to carry out the demands cf a ccEege curriculum. The only conclusion I can draw, and it seems to be inescapable, that their extra-currkular activi ties took too much cf their time. That raises the whole question of e place of extra-curricular activi ties in the college scheme of things. As a graduate student, I have seen and been on a number of college cam- puses and the thing about Carolina impresses me the most strongly in this regard is the great interest and participation that these activities receive here; and I think it all to the good, for the activities are almost all certainly worthwhile. A letter to the Tax Fttt. a few days ago spoke cf these as "socially necessary,' and in that I concur, but just, how far this social necessity should be carried is onen to debate. I, for one, feel that a student's first concern is, or should? be, with studies, and that his actrsi - ties should be selected and adjusted to allow Yirn to keep up his average and to fulfill the minimum require ments. It seems to me that if he can not do as simple a job as passing ten hours cf work, he is not the type of student who should be a leader. Too many campus big men have made Phi Beta Kappa, and too many cf them are in the process of daing it now, for any excuse cf "net enough time" to be passed off for not being able to carry the dual lead cf activities and studies, And, if I may be permitted cne Spies been given just one week to make up bis incompletes whkh he fcd agreed to do at leisure. He was un able to, and now he is out cf school. It is obvious that John Creedy was wrong in the apportioning cf his time. Just as were the crapshooters, poker players, and movie-goers who busted out of school and were read mitted. John, whose crime was late conferences in the magazine cffice, and a misunderstand fng of the "in complete" rules, was not readmitted. We wonder then as to the standard cf behavior that we as college stu dents are expected to maintain. And we wonder if the red tape cf office regularity has advanced to such a degree of efficiency that sincere in telligent boy's mistake cannot be treated with special fairness. If John Creedy had failed in one part cf bis debt to this university, he certainly had overpaid it in many other ways. And authorities who have dedicated themselves to the education cf boys might have helped this one out of what was only a temporary difficulty. There is much talk rampant in col leges of standards. And standards are a fine and noble thing that cer tainly ought to be encouraged. There are some students here who have managed to pass ten hours of work and have done nothing else. They are in school with accredited stand ing. John Creedy did not pass ten hours of work, like several other campus leaders, because he did so much cf everything else. But John Creedy alone is out of school. Those cf us who have had neither the courage nor the ability to do the things that John Creedy has done can sit back and say that it is too bad. But even in sitting back we have benefitted, through our university's new prestige in literary ranks. We might all show our appreciation and indignation at this time by voicing ourselves as opposed to his dismis sal. And we might beg the authorities, in considering the case, that they re member some cf the grand old ideal3 of education. And that they realize that a lesson in paternal construc tiveness is far more potent than a lesson in red tape adamance. Until then, John Creedy is out cf school. The Editor Subject to Cutting more point, I would beg permission to disagree with Professor Woodhouse on the matter of going especially easy on extra currieuiar men because cf outstanding ability." It would seem to me that life is a matter of choosing between competing values, and of mak ing the best choice according to your circumstances. And if these men can not choose to make the effort to re main in school according to the rules to whkh the ordinary student must conform, they merit no special con sideration over and above that same ordinary student. In conclusion, I admit a bias. As a graduate student, I perhaps tend to favor academics over activities. But. also as a product of twentieth cen tury education, I realize that activi ties are an integral part cf that sys tem, and I don't hold with those who favor their abolition. All Pm asking is that these activity boys realize that they are in school, and that their im mediate job is to do the work thai the school requires. And Fm asking too that they dent come crying about ."socially necessary extra currieuiar activities" when they find that they've neglected their job, and then want special treatment. And I woncer how many otners leei tae same way!

After spending 11 years composing and arranging music for leading dance bands, Miller emerged from obscurity to take a high place among orchestras cf the East. Twice he visited North Carolina as an arranger for dance bands, and last fall he appeared with his own or chestra to furnish musk for the Debutante ball in Raleigh.

Dancers re turned to their home towns after the week-end to describe the orchestra and its vocalists. Marion Hutton, as girl vocalist, won the boys with her sultry renditions accompanied with an easy-to-look-at torso and blonde tresses.
