John Sanders, president of the
student body, and Gordon Gray,
president of the Consolidated
University, have separate ap
pointments today with the Appro
priations Committee of the Gen
eral Assembly in Raleigh to dis
cuss the University budget for the
coming year.
Sanders will argue the stu
dents' case against the proposed
increases in the tuition rates of
the Health Affairs Division. Stu
dent presidents from each group
in the division will accompany
him. Gray will present the re
commendations of the University
on the entire budget.
In a statement released yester
day, Sanders said the action taken
by the Board of Trustees in ap
proving the proposed increases is
disappointing, but that the final
decision lies with the Legislature.
He appealed to students to con
tinue more than ever the vigorous
letter writing campaign to their
representatives intlie ..assembly
protecting the proposed increases.
Sanders said yesterday that
bilt Chancellor, issued a state
ment replying to Taylor "because
the senator has raised an educa
tional issue."
"Vanderbilt University is op
posed to Communism without
qualification or equivocation,"
Branscomb said.
"But how, I would ask the sen
ator, should an educational in
stitution oppose Communism by
never mentioning the word and
going around the subject as if it
did not exist in the world, or by
not exposing accurately and in
detail its vicious doctrines and
practices?"
The course in Communism is
the third part of a three-part
study in comparative government
which already has gone into Bri
tish government and the govern
ments of western Europe.
Dr. Alexander Dragnich, a Jus
tice Department and Office of
Strategic Services analyst during
World War II and later U. S. at
tache at Belgrade, will teach the
class of 21 students.

Selection Bill Shuttled

smoke-filled room Tuesday with
out a change for presentation to
change nothing.
. The music is derived in the
main from one folk song, "Down
in the Valley," but the score also
employs such songs as "Hop Up,
My Ladies," "The Little Black
Train," and "The Lonesome
Dove."
. "Down in the Valley" is com
posed for five solo voices, sev
eral speaking roles, and chorus
with small orchestra.
The chorus in this ballad-like
opera has an impressive and var
ied role. Weill's use of massed
voices is quite different from the
traditional operatic chorus func

Summer Term
To Be Quarter
For Freshman
Many Applications
Received By UNC
For June Entrance
Freshmen entering the Univer
sity this June will work through
the summer on a quarterly basis,
Roy -Armstrong, Director of Ad
missions, announced yesterday.
The new students will not di
vide the summer into two ses
sions, but will start in June and
metriculate through August as
first quarter freshmen, he added.
The full-quarter summer does not
apply to present undergraduates,
however, Armsrtong pointed out.
"Applications are coming in
very well in face of the present
uncertainty facing most high
school seniors," he said. "Most
of the entering freshmen have
Switched their " -entrance dates
from September to June to take
advantage of the summer quarter
work offered by the University."
Armstrong advised applicants
to enter in June if they were in
tending to become medical or
dental students.
"The one summer session en
ables a student to save one calen
dar year to enter the medical
schools, entering in September,
1953. But if a student does not
take advantage of the summer
school work, he would have to
wait until September, 1954," he
continued.
In other news concerning en
tering freshmen, Armstrong an
nounced that the "segregation
policy" of placing entering men
in separate freshmen dorms will
be discontinued.
the Legislature tomorrow night.
The bill had been recommitted
by a stymied Legislature last
Thursday after 90 minutes of de
bate, in what some solons termed
a sly poimcai move.
The Committee had once ap
proved the bill unanimously.
In its second hearing on that
measure, the Committee debated
for over an hour, heard members
of both political parties vent their
feelings and then overwhelming
ly defeated two amendments pro
posed by Chairman Jack Owen,
leaving the proposed law just as
it had entered committee.
It was a 7-3 vote this time, how
ever, to present the bill as it read
to the Legislature.
At its last sitting, the Commit
tee had made two major changes,
both deletions, on the original bill
as introduced by SP Floorleader
Bill Prince.
Owen's first amendment would
have changed the membership
of the non-council portion of the
board to "four students, not mem
bers of any council, one male stu
dent and one coed to be selected
from each party."
The other amendment would
have stricken the Student Coun
-cil from jurisdiction of the board.

Budget Defict
Causes Change
In Publication
Second Time DTH
Has Been Slashed
Within 2 Months
- Saturday editions .of The
Daily Tar Heel have tem
porarily been suspended by
the Publications Board be
cause of an impending $2,500
budget deficit brought on by
decreased enrollment, Board
Chairman Zane Robbins an
nounced yesterday.
The cut, which reduces the
"daily" newspaper to four days
a week, is effective immediately.
Robbins said the cut was ap
proved at a meeting of the Board
last Friday in Graham Memorial.
It marks the second time within
a two-month period that the
financial body has been forced to
cut the frequency of publication
of the official student newspaper.
The printing cut will realize
some $1,500 savings, but a por
tion of this cut will be offset by
a small loss in advertising.
Several other money saving
measures are being considered by
the Board, since an additional
$1,500 savings will have to be ef
fected or another $1,500 in in
come added, according to Rob
bins. Robbins
following
the cut:

concerning
"It is with sincere regret that
the 'meat' of The Daily Tar Heel
was cut by the Publications
Board. I believe I speak for every
member of the Board when I
say this. We certainly have no de
sire to see a college newspaper
that has been taking steady
strides forward suddenly go into
a tailspin in the middle of a year.
"In the fact of the current fi
nancial crisis, however, we were
left without an alternative in this
matter. We could have dipped into
our rapidly-shrinking surplus to
stave off the cut for a short while,
but the axe had to fall sooner or
later and we think the time for
action is now.
"We have prepared a budget for
next year that will allow us to
resume publication of The Daily
Tar Heel on a near-normal basis.
If that budget passes the Budget
Committee and the Student Leg
islature without alteration, I can
assure you The Daily Tar Heel
will resume its place among the
leading college dailies in the
United States."
In other action, the Board ap
proved and passed on to the Bud

1951-52 for The Daily Tar Heel,
