Scott's proposal was condemned by the Young Republicans club las a "betrayal of the youth of North Carolina" in a spirited ses sion held Thursday night. A resolution labelling the pro posal as "reactionary" and a vio lation of the "clear intent of the State constitution" was adopted unanimously. Gene Newton, president of the UVA sent a letter to Scott which said that "the veterans of this state who made sacrifices for it did not intend to preserve and protect our institutions for the benefit of the wealthy only." In discussing Scott's proposal to raise tuition $69, Newton's letter pointed out that the Congress of the United States had established an educational program under the G.I. bill to "help those who need ed help." Considering this, New ton said the club could find noth ing to indicate Scott's good faith with the principles of progressive education. Newton's letter said that the club was particularly disturbed by Scott's recent statement at Davidson college. At that time Scott said he advocated tuitional changes in order to take the state university out of competition with denominational schools. "A state ment of this nature, coming from the Governor of the state, can only serve to encourage those who seek to impede the over-all pro gress and growth of their public educational system." Tuition should be going down instead of going up, the letter continued. "We sincerely believe that the situation and the times demand that tuitional fees at the three branches of the University be abolished completely for North Carolina students," the letter con cluded. ; Virginia Boards Held in Contempt GLOUCESTER, Va., Feb. 18 (UP) Two county school boards moved today to get in line with a Federal court decision demand ing that they equalize education al opportunities for Negro and white students. - The Gloucester county school board passed a resolution for a $750,000 bond issue for two new high schools.
