Tuition Increase
Before Committee
By MORRIS W. ROSENBERG
Pointing out that although the
value of the Greater University of
North Carolina had increased $8,798,
000 over a period of ten years, since
1928-29, the state appropriations to
the University had decreased ?380,
641 during the same period, President
Frank Graham appeared yesterday be
fore a joint meeting of the appropria
tion committees of the house and
senate to plead the case of the Uni
versity in asking for increased ap
propriations for the years 1939-40 and
1940-41.
Dr. Graham told the "committee,
meeting in the Revenue building in
Raleigh, that "even if you give us all
the money we have asked for, we will
still be operating on only a 77.6 per
cent basis."
Arguing against any raise in tuition
fees for either state or out-of-state
students, Graham told the legislators
that . the University , ranked high in
the nation as compared with the fees
charged students at other state uni
versities. The President declared that
the Constitution of the state of North
Carolina declares that the University
should provide free tuition for -students
as far as possible, and that,
since at present all students are char
ged tuition fees, any movement to in
crease these fees would be totally out
of line with the constitutional princi
ples of the state. '
