Li isuucsjia in JUG- n a Student t Passe Legislature Receive Proposal By NEIL BASS The student Budget Commute, a presidentially-appointed body, yesterday voted to recommend to the "student body that student fees be raised by S5. The committee's recommendation will go to the student for approval. If the Legislature : gives the proposal the go sign. then the student body will vote in a referendum to decide the final fate of the raise. ' Of the proposed increase, am ounting to $5 per student per year, $3 would go to Graham Me morial and $2 to student gov ernment. ONE OPPOSES According to Bill Formyduvall, one of the seven committee mem bers present at the closed session, the committee felt student govern ment and its agencies could not continue to operate without se rious loss of efficiency unless a fee raise was instituted. Formy druvall was the sole committee member" voting" against the "'pro posal. ' John Zollicoffer, another of the committe members present at the Meeting, said consensus of the groups was that the present fee figure $6 per person per year (as 4 compared to $20 per person per year at N. C. State) was just not enough to keep student govern ment and the student union opera ting at their present levels. According to Don Fowler, chair man of the committee, who was unable to attend the session be cause he "was in class," the meet ing was called, not by Fowler, who . has official authority as chairman to do so, but by Nor wood Bryan, a member of the committee. Fowler is Independent candidate for President. FOWLER OPPOSES Fowler's official statement was: "I am opposed to any fee raise at this time. I was unable to at tend this meeting because I was in class. I do not feel that this is the time for a referendum on a student fee raise. This decision (the fee raise) is up to the stu dent body and I will abide by their decision; however, since the state Legislature is still in session and is currently discussing a tui tion raise, this would be an indi cation to them that the students favor a fee raise." With this posi tive stand the state Legislature might feel more inclined to in crease our tuition and dorm rent." According to Fowler, the meet ing was called by Bryan with Fowler's consent, but he. knew nothing of the action that the committee took. McCURRY WANTS REFERENDUM When Ed McCurry, the other student body presidential candi date, was notified of the commit tee's recommendation, he said he thought there should be a "ref erendum" before anything is done about a fee raise. , The student Constitution states that a referendum Is necessary if the fees are raised higher than, $20 per student per year. The overall fee at this time is $18;f therefore, a constitutional amendment will be required be fore fees can be raised. So the eventual fate of the rec ommended raise, if it passes the student Legislature, will lie in the hands of the students in a referen Budget Bio cc - Fees Will Legislature Approved Last Raise The last fee raise for students was passed by the student Legis lature in February of 1954. The Legislature passed the block fee raise of $3 unanimously. There was, however, opposition to last year's action. Two students, Raymond M. Taylor and Malcolm Cox, said they were plain, country boys "from the eastern, part e j Alpha,1 Pi Kappa Phi, Phi Gamma state' and felt the bill should be , DeUi; Sigma Epsilon and The. defeated, or at the extreme, Putjja' Chi before the student body in a ref- . ' ' . . ' . , erendum. . ' Averages are ..computed on the i Last year's action by the student. Legislature raised the student fees from $15 to $18 per year. Y To Talk On Bills Now In U. S.

Senator Humphrey has been a member of Congress since 1948 He is presently serving on several committees and is a member of the Democratic Steering Committee Candidates Fowler & McCurry For Limited Govermental Secrecy Both candidates for student body president have come out in different ways for limited secrecy in student government. Don Fowler, independent can didate, said, "Students should al ways be informed of the happen ings of student government." He said all group meetings from Leg islature to Interfraternity Coun cil should be open. The Daily Tar Heel has been barred from IFC meetings since News Bureau's Madry Back In N.C. Hospital An attache of the North Caro lina Memorial Hospital said that Robert W. (Bob) Madry, head of the UNC News Bureau, had a "fair day" yesterday. Madry entered the. hospital on March 22 after falling down the steps of his home. He had been in the hospital earlier during the year suffering from hypertension and kidney trouble.

The Interfraternity Council, ac cording to the student Constitu tion, is a part of student govern ment." However, Fowler said, in case of executive sessions of a group, "the proceedings should be made public." This means, Fowler said, the press andor public should not be allowed in the executive meetings unless the group is willing. Ed McCurry, University Party candidate, attacked the problem from a different angle. He divid ed all student groups into two divisions: those which use com pulsory student fee money, and those "of a private, nature with members from and representing only a part of the campus. "I feel," he said, "any organi zation which receives or spends money from compulsory student ees (with the exception of the (See CANDIDATES, page 4) M otion Approve 9-8 After Debate RALEIGH, March 31 The Joint Appropriations subcommittee today cut by 50 percent the appropriation of the University of North Carolina's Educational TV station. Educational Television touched off a lively debate in the subcommittee. Everyone present seemed to feel that some reduc tion should be made in the TV budget, and the argument revol ved around the amount to slice. As recommended by the Advis ory Budget commission, the state Educational Radio and Television Commission would get $4,700 for the biennium. This amount was not touched' by the subcommittee. The Budget Commjsion had ap- proved the requests of the Tele- rision Commission for $434,800 for the biennium to operate the three studio TV operation at the three branches of the University in Chapel Hill, Raleigh and Greens boro. .This is the figure that was chopped in two by the legislators, who recommended that it be re placed by increased receipts. The motion to cut the TV bud get in nan was approved uy a 9-8 vote after a lengthy argument ' which ranged from the value of I television farm programs to the 1 effectiveness of recently televised ! sessions of the General Assembly itself. ; One or two legislators, who can- j not be named under subcommit- j tee rules, seemed to feel that the : television appropriation should be j stripped out of the budget com-1 pletely. Others pushed for -a one-i third reduction, rather than the j one-half " proposal. i A major point in the argument j for the lesser cut was that the in- ; dustries and individuals in the state who contributed the money i to establish the TV station would j interpret a sharp budget cut as ! a slap in the face. Educational TV Chairman Has Statement Gordon Gray, president of the Consolidated University of North Carolina, and William D. Car- j michael Jr., vice-president, had no statement to make yesterday on the recommendation of the Joint Appropriations subcommit tee to cut the Advisory Budget Commission's recommended bud get for WUNC-TV 50 percent. "I am disappointed at the cut in the appropriations recommend ed by the Advisory Budget Com mission and by both Governor Umstead and Governor Hodges," Said Irving Carlyle, chairman of the North Carolina Educational Radio and Television Commission. 1 yesterday. "I am still grateful that the .Joint Appropriations Committee has seen fit to include educational television in their recommendations," he said. Carlyle said, "We have seen enough of WUNC-TV to know of j its great potentials for the good of the state, and I hope that this means that educational television in the state will go forward." He added, "The way it has been con ducted up to this point is a great credit to the state of North Car olina and the faculty men and students of the Greater Univer sity who have furnished most of j its programs." Robert F. Schenkkan, director i of TV for the Consolidated Uni versity, concerning the cut rec ommendation said, "I had hoped we would get the whole package," adding, "We will just have to what we can with what we get." j He said, "It does indicate that! they think enough of (WUNC- i TV), to give if some money . .

The co-editors ran without op position. The figure would be a complete total if the Elections Board had .egistered the ballots cast for Krarr and Yoder in Scuttlebutt voting district.
