In doing this, legislators were left empty - handed with no budget approved. Vice President Jim McLeod, who broke a tie vote and thus killed the Student Party efforts, called a special session of the Legislature for Monday night. Ed Gross, outgoing Secretary Treasurer made an impassioned speech calling for the adoption of an amendment which cut out of the budget bill an earlier sur plus rider. Gross pointed out that the Publications Board, the budget Committee and Secretary Treasurer were united in their opposition to such a measure.

FRANK GRAHAM UNC's Budget For 1953-55 In 3rd Reading RALEIGH, April 24 The Uni versity's budget request, part of a $14,250,000 proposed institution al appropriation, passed its semi finals on the Senate floor here yesterday. Chapel Hill is due to get $1, 001,000 for permanent improve ments under a bond issue if the bill goes through. The bill passed the required three readings in the House early this week. It will face its third reading in the Senate today and in formed persons here see ho es pecially rough going in the final stage of its progress. There were moments of some doubt yesterday when Sen. Fred Mclntyre of Mecklenburg offer ed an amendment to .have the en tire appropriation submitted to public referendum. When this amendment was defeated, Mclntyre offered another to slash off $500, 000 for the Institute of Govern ment and a smaller amount for alterations to the fourth floor of the Dental School. Senators Hob good, Curry and others made speeches in opposition to the sec ond amendment, and it too was de feated. Mclntyre said he was fully aware of the great service of the Insti tute, but he felt its expansion could be delayed for another two years. This bill covers appropria tions for the 1953-55 biennium.
