To Talk Here
Allen Bayer McDaniel will speak
at a public meeting sponsored by
the Baha'i students here Monday
at 8 p.m. in Gerrard Hall, an
nounced Walter R. Woctten yes
terday. McDaniel has had a long and
distinguished career as a profes
sional engineer, teacher and au
thor of many technical articles
and books.
The Baha'i faith symbolized in
the Baha'i House of Worship,
though sometimes confused as an
offshoot of Judaism, Islam or an
Eastern sect, or a collection of
the preferred teachings and prin
ciples from other religions, is in
reality an independent world re
ligion revealed by Baha'u'llah,
(The Glory of God), Wootten said.
Hill House Will Be Sold
Hill House, tourist home on West Franklin St., will be closed
soon, according to an announcement by band leader-owner John
Scott Trotter.
Officials of the hotel gave as one reason for closing the wide
spread vandalism prevalent in that area. .
Andy Kinghorn, who has managed the establishment for most
of its years of operation, said although there had been no par
ticular trouble since Easter, in the past windows had been smashed
in adjoining cottages, white paint had been poured on the mini
ature jockey boy who stands in front of the building, stones and
beer cans had been thrown at the building and an excess of vile
and loud language had been used in th? immediate area.
Kinghorn said Hill House would be closed by July 1. The
building, he said, probably will be purchased by a University
sorority.

dents who are residents of other states will have to pay an
increased tuition bill next fall, the Gencial Assembly de
cided today.
Tuition raises will amount to Si 40 per year for out-ol-itaters,
except those on scholarships.
The raise will affect students now in school.

day passed into law a 640 million
dollar state appropriations bill for

measure Wednesday, with only
two hours of debate. However, the
bill's speedy enactment followed j

amendment was offered to the
budget bill. Sen. Ray Walton of
Brunswick proposed - to eliminate
the "entire $222,910 appropriation
for the expenses of University of
North Carolina's educational tele
vision station and the State Edu
cational Radio and Television
Commission.
The Senate resoundingly defeat
ed the amendment, as the House
had done with a similar motion
two days before.
"I have found," Walton told the
Senate, "that the State is in the
water business the' electricity
business, and we run a railroad.
And now we're in the television
business, too.
"If we vote to support this tele
vision station," he continued, "we
will be treading on the grounds
of socialism. I don't mean North
Carolina will become a socialistic

Against Policy
Action taken by the General
Assembly yesterday raising out-of-state

The stand taken by the Uni

opposition to any raises in stu
