' President Fee Structure Amendment Defeated By Legislature in Close Balloting Dorsett Fights For Fee Structure Bill By Bookie Jabine Split down the middle like an axe-hewn log, the Student Legis lature last night argued loud and long over a constitutional amendment to change the fee structure, finally spurning it by a vote of 20-18. Meeting in the Di hall before an un usually large turnout, the assembly witnessed a drawn-out argument be tween Dewey Dorsett, who last week had recommended that student fees be reduced from $20 to $12, and Jim my Wallace, who defended the origi nal sum. Dorsett Explains At the request of numerous legis lators, Dorsett explained how the figure of $12 was reached. Said the student body president, "It is a logi cal figure, that will satisfy both the students and the administration." Under the proposed amendment, the Graham Memorial fee would be a sep arate levy. This was the chief bone of contention in the debate. Dorsett defended the new fee struc ture, saying that it was not a "helter skelter figure picked out of the sky, but one that will be ample to meet the students needs." Referring to the constitutional fig ure of $20, the chief executive ex plained, "It's not that easy, we've got to work with the administration." O.

The Budget Appropriation bill does not give the University all it wants and what Graham says it can use. The University President re-asserted the request made last fall. But as he said he "left it to the wisdom of the Appropriations Committee to do the best it can in relation to all the other state agencies." Return on Investment Graham did say the State could get a return on its investment by pouring more money into the Greater Univer sity. He pointed out that during the war the Advisory Budget Commis sion spent 200-thousand dollars at State college to house a Naval Dies el Training School. In return, he said, the State received free of charge more than two and a half mil lion dollars worth of diesel equipment and "the finest diesel engineering school in the world." Chancellor Robert House at Chapel Hill said the University now hopes to continue two special research projects turned down by the Advisory Budget Commission. One would provide nu clear research and the other would establish a Marine Fisheries Re search Laboratory at Morehead City. House said private funds and profits were expected to help to get this work underway.
