FOREIGN STUDENT
TUITION RAISE
Several Raleigh
Lawmakers Favor
Such An Increase
A statement interpreted by some as
csposi-g increasing the differential in
tuiuon rates between state and out-of-state
sradents was issued yesterday by
Join- Rankin, bead of the University
tuiet lobby, following expressions by
several legislators that they were in
favor cf a boost for non-residents,
while net in favor of an increase for
residents.
STATEMENT
Rankin's statement said that the Uni
versity's percentage of foreign enroll
ment is considerably lower than that
cf some surrounding schools, and ar
gued that contact with students from
other sections and states has educa
tional values.
The complete disclosure follows:
"The student lobby of the University
of North Carolina in regard to out-of-state
students issue the following statement:
"The educational value to the North j
Carolina boys from contact with, stu
dents from other states and sections,
and the practice of inter-state reci
procity involved in the very idea of the
federal union, necessitates the follow
ing information.
"1 .That the wise selective policy
cf our three institutions in admitting
oat-of-state students embodies first
that the student must be in the upper
50 percent of his graduating class. In
terviews by faculty-alumni commit
tees and other personal interview re
quired. Also, a $100,000 out-of-state
differential law aids this wise selective
policy.

50 percent of enrollment from out-of-state;
Washington and Lee has 75 per

CPU JANUARY 26
McNinch Address
Will Have Radio
Hookup Over State
A man who can answer the ques
tion of what is the future of federal
control of radio and newspapers will
appear here as a" Carolina Political
union speaker January 26 in the per
son of Frank R. McNinch, chairman
of the federal communications com
mission. McNinch, a University graduate,
will be the second CPU speaker of
the winter quarter and will take part
in the customary open forum discus
sion with his audience after his ad
dress. .
BROADCAST
The speech, which is scheduled for
8 o'clock, will be broadcast over a
state-wide radio network including
Stations WDNC in Durham, WBIG
in Greensboro, WSJS in Winston
Salem, and WPTF in Raleigh. Al
though no definite plans have been
concluded, Union Chairman Voit Gil
more said he expected other stations
in North Carolina and neighboring
states to carry the hour-long pro
gram. MEN FROM MARS
McNinch recently received nation
wide attention as a result of the Or
son Welles' Mars Invasion broadcast
when he was asked whether his de
partment was considering action on
the matter. The commissioner declined
to make any ruling on this or any
future radio programs of that type.
In his address here he may be ex
pected to give some clue as to
whether the communications commis
sion will seek to control the Ameri
can radio field in the future.
Previous to his service as head of
the commission, McNinch served as

Troupe To Appear
In Memorial Hall
Tomorrow Night
Ballet Caravan, the modern Ameri
can troupe whkh has collected youthful
composers, artists, dancers, and actors
and which has strived for a renais
sance in native American ballet, will
appear in Memorial hall tomorrow
night at 8:30, under the sponsorship
of the Student entertainment commit
tee. AMERICAN LIFE
In an effort to replace' the borrow
ed, sterotyped European form of bal
let, Lincoln Kirstein, founder and di
rector of the company, has concentra
ted on reproducing in the dance the
gayety, vitality, and virility of Ameri
can life.
"Yankee Clipper," "Billy the Kid,"
and "Filling Station" are the troupe's
most successful American numbers.
Eugene Loring received for his compo
sition, "Yankee Clipper," Stage's
award for the finest choreographic
work of the past year. In it he tells
the story of a boy's voyage around the
Cape on a sailing vessel. Loring, him
self, dances the leading role. The music
was composed by Paul Bowles, who de
scribes, through his compositions, the
countries encountered on the voyage.
FIRST HIT
"Filling Station," the Ballet Cara
van's first great contemporary hit, has
music composed by Virgil Thomson,
who wrote the musical score for Ger
trude Stein's "Four Saints in Three
Acts," Leslie Howard's production of
"Hamlet," and for Tallulah Bankhead's
"Anthony and Cleopatra." Paul Cad
mus, the young artist whose panel,
"The Fleet Is In," caused a minor art
crisis in Naval circles a few years ago,
designed the novel settings and cos
tumes for "Filling Station."
The dancing of Marie Jeanne, pre
miere ballerina of the troupe, .has been
recognized by critics as "noble,"
frank," "open," "clear as crystal," and
"the real American style of dancing."
She is the first American to rise to pre
eminence as a ballerina in a century.
Miss Jeanne has been called an "Ameri
can version of Danielle Darrieux,
young and straight forward."
"FILLING STATION"
Lew Christensenj and his brother
Harold are two of the twenty dancers
with the troupe. Lew, who "looks more
like a football player than the usual

SENATE DISCUSSES
LEGISLATURE BILL
Plans Begun For
Annual Di-Phi Dance
The only bill, brought before the
Dialectic senate at its weekly meet
ing, last night, Resolved: that the
method of choosing members of the
student legislature is undemocratic,
was passed after a brief discussion
by a vote of 14-1. There was no
voiced opposition to the bill, and
President Walter Kleeman and Sena
tor John Busby were the only two
members to speak for it, President
Kleeman expressing the opinion that
the English system under which a
general election is called to decide
important questions would be better
than the system now in operation on
the campus.
Three motions were made, second
ed, and passed during the course of
the session. The first of these moved
that President Kleeman appoint a
one-man committee to contact the
Phi assembly about plans for the an
nual Di-Phi dance.
DONATION
The second motion passed stated
that two dollars be donated to a
fund to help finance the lobbying
against a raise in tuition being done
by John Rankin at the General assembly.

win be held this - afternoon from 5
