The two dealers offered no sol-
ution to the question of higher
Chapel Hill gas prices according
to Bryan. But the Esso represent-
atives declared that their company
is charging 2.1 cents lower on the
wholesale price. The lower Raleigh
price, the dealers said, is to aid
dealers in what they call a "sub-
normal market condition."
Bryan described the "sub-ner-mal"
conditions as heavy competi
tion. But what causes all Chapel Hill
gas prices to run highter?

.There are not many people in
Chapel Hill who can say that
they knew Thomas Wolfe or re
membered when the University
Inn was standing, but if any stu
dent drops in the University
Restaurant, he can get first-hand
information from an employee
named Edward Perry.
It was Ed's first year as a
waiter at the University Inn in
1916 when Thomas Wolfe first
came to the University, and it
was then that their friendship
first started. In 1920 Thomas
Wolfe graduated, and in 1921
the University Inn burned down,
but those days have not been
forgotten: as Ed recalls it, "They
were great days."
"He was a nice man." Ed re
calls of Thomas Wolfe, "and he
was not very big, but he had the
wildest eyes of any man I have
ever seen. Most of his friends
were from Asheville and round
abouts, and - we use to have a
lot of fun playing and wrestling
on the campus in front of BVP.
Battle Dorm was just built then,
and Wolfe lived there while he
was a student."

Letters To State s Legislators
Will Object To Tuition Raises
l By DICK CREED
The student Legislature last
dormitory lees by oka. tig a letter to be sent to every member of the state Legislature.
Hie letter states that already student fees a e '"as high as a great manv of our students can
pay.'! - ' -
It states further that the student I M ' ... n
Legislature has gone on record j
against any raise in student fees
and that "we therefore hope that '
you as one of the (state) legisla- j
tors will find it possible to agree
with 'us and oppose such legisla
tion should it be introduced. j
It is anticipated by both the ad- ;
ministration and student body lead- ,
ers that a measure will come be- I
1'
! fore the next session of the Gen- ',
;ral Assembly calling for a raise j
in tuition and dormitory fees here )
to help offset the cost of building
a new dormitory. j
Administrative officials here j
and Sat State College and Woman's j
College have come out against the"!
proposed hike in fees. j
Charles Hyatt (SP), author and i
introducer of the letter and the J
resotution to send ,it said, "By j
sending this letter we can call to j
the attention of our legislators j
! that -we are already paying as much i
as we can.
He said that "many students are
here on the shoe string" and that
any hike in fees would be "like
telling thm to gt out of school."
Charles Ackerman (UP) opposed
the bill saying that it would be
better to raise student fees to make
up the deficit than to. raise the
cost of food and books on campus.
Said Ackerman, "A tuition 1 Druten's play, "I Remember Ma -
, . mnira thoma" will be read, under the direc-
raise is necessary to make up the i '
part of the budget which it is up
telling them to get out of school."
He said, however, that the "ba
sic idea "of the letter and resolu
tion was "fine"
Dave Keid (bf) lavorea me re-
solution and letter and recalled to
the student Legislature the "fine"
fight against Saturday classs wag
ed by students two years ago.
He said that when tne General
Assembly meets, "a pressure group
should descend on Raleigh and
make the students' feelings well
' known."

GAS PRICES ASSAILED
The assembly also heard a rc-
! port from Max Chron (UP) which
! , . ,:

price survey. Chron said that
"Chapel Hill gas prices were on
the average higher than those of
surrounding cities primarily lie
cause tankers had to transport the
gas farther and a reasonable pro
f fit had to be made by the establ
ishments to survive." The commit
tee findings showed that a certain
Carrboro station boasted prices
considerably lower than other loc
al establishments.
DATE TICKETS THRASHED
A Student Party introduced re
solution which opposes the $3.50
that students must pay for guest
tickets to athletic events was re
ferred to the Student Welfare
Board on the basis that it was
i "prepared too hastily."
Bob Harrington (SP) proposed
a substitute bill for a "flaw in the
election law." The flaw, accordng
to Harrington, was such that "per
sons who attended summer school
without the designated amount of
hours credit are declared ineligi
ble to run for political office "
A report of the Band Improve
ments Committee cited that the
band was receiving no monatory
aid from the University and that
the student Legislature would in
troduce at the next session a bill
to appropriate such funds.
Nine SP legislators and five UP
solons were absent from the meet
