Progress at the University under the consolidation plan has been so rapid and so far reaching that there can no longer be any doubt as to the wiseness of the move of the North Carolina General As sembly some years ago. C Carolina, WC, State Chiefs Against Hikes Three University of North Car olina educators and one member of the state Advisory Budget Commission made statements yes terday on hints that Carolina stu dents may have to pay more for tuition, room rent and other col lege facilities. The three University men were President of the Consolidated Un iversity Gordon Gray, State Coir lege Chancellor Carey Boslian and Chancellor Edward K. Graham of Women's College. They and Ad visory Budget Commission mem ber LeRoy Martin were question ed by telephone yesterday. What They Said. President Gray, who last Wed nesday at a meeting of the Com mission and University officials said he felt "it will not be neces sary to raise costs to the sUf- dents," maintained the same stand yesterday. Asked if he knew any way money might be made available to build dormi tories without raising student fees, Gray said "A comment from us now would be premature since I don't have any facts, figures or proposals to consider."
