Associate Dean A. K. King said the proposal, if passed, would eventually deprive the University of some distinguish ed faculty members. Dean King pointed out the University receives from non-res ident graduate students who study here and later join the UNC fac ulty. He also, emphasized, in a re port to UNC Chancellor Robert B. House, the high caliber of out-of-state undergraduates who have lat er taken graduate work and be come members of the faculty. The increase proposal was made recently by State Rep. L. H. Ross'7"!' , , , , J "J m. students as well as for faculty, of Beaufort. The measure calls . . . t , ' "... . - 3. A high rate ol tuition is for a tuition increase of not morel " . often a deterrent for non-resident xnau uu per ,w uu . dent students In the event the General As sembly approves the bill, the Uni versity Board of Trustees would be directed to put the hike into effect starting next fall. Ross measure is currently in the hands of the Joint Appropria tions Committee. ABOUT HALF ' - Dtan King said approximately half of the former folders of j graduate appointments ,lu?re who are now faculty members came to UNC from other states. Of the 353 holders of graduate appointments in the University this year. Dean King said, 227 are om out-of-state. Of the faculty members now in the University who hold the rank assistant professo- or higher, one tTiinl bega n here as graduate students with some type of ser vice appointments. "If. we are ta build a great fac ulty here," Dean Kmg said, "we will have to have our share of the best graduate students not only in North Carolina but in the entire nation." Dean King called graduate stu- j dents "indispensable to our opera- j tion and vital assets for the fut ure." THREE FACTORS In the report, he said the Uni- versity also strives to attract un- j dergraduates of quality, as well as : Frank Crowt her Elected 1958 Symposium Head Frank Crowther, sophomore i from Chewy Chase, Md.. has been, elected chairman of the 1958 Car-j olina Symposium on Public Af fairs. He was" elected Monday by a vote of the Interim Committee and the new committee in the Assem bly Room of the Wilson Library. Crowther said the "prospects for next year's Symposium are extf emely high." He said he be lieved the "only restrictions we have, aside from those of finance, are those we place on ourselves and our capabilities." He expressed gratitude and ap preciation to the 1958 committee and assured them he would "try to uphold the confidence they have p!id in me" by the election. FULLY CAPABLE Our committee, he said, is fully capable of "carrying on the stand ard that was set by the 1956 or ganization." He also thanked the Interim Committee and its chairman Jim Exurn. "Without their efforts and assistance, our new organization would have been at quite a loss and would have been much longer in: organizing and preparing our selves for 1958." The 1958 Symposium, the seventh in UNC's history, brought raduates indispensable benefits the graduate students. He listed three other factors to be considered in getting good graduate students: 1. Stipends paid to graduate students in appointments should be raised by twenty per cent. 2. Housing for married grad uate students must be improved in quality and quantity for that is an important consideration in (nmnfltiiinn frit oHlo cmoHii tf graduate students. REVITALIZATION "Should those three factors be materially improved in the next few years, the general quality of the University's graduate program vculd attract a sufficient number of the finest minds of the nation to revitalize continuously our teaching, service and creative functions," Dean King said. He said the University is among the twenty five most productive "nstitutions of higher learning in 'he United States. "There has been assembled here in Chapel Hil intelkectual re sources which constitute the state's most priceless asset," he said. One of the most difficult prob lems confronting' the'" Universi-, ty in tho.cext Xen .years, Jje said, j will "be that' of maintaining a dis tinguished faculty. The Graduate School should be a key factor in planning to solve the personnel problem, he said. Officials of the Consolidated i University last week indicated. they would opop.se Ross' bill if given an opportunity to appear before the Joint Appropriations Com mittee. Consolidated University Presi dent William C. Friday announced the policy at a meeting with the Greater University administration staff. several outstanding speakers to the Jjmpus to speak "in open forum on critical problems of our times." ' The time and place for the 1958 Symposium' have not been de termined. Crowther said the pro gram would "most likely be one week in duration."

AS SPRING HOLIDAYS BEGIN: Mass Exodus Sfistts Today By PATSY MILLER At last the long-awaited time has finally arrived spring vaca tion and students feel as free as birds freed from their cages of drudgery. The mass migration of students from UNC to ' various points of "'relaxation" will begin at rapid pace this morning and afternoon. The place to pend the holidays is not so important as the fact that there is a holiday, or so it seems by the variety of spots chosen for the annual vacation Pee Wee Batten, campus song bird, will leave Thursday on a personal appearance tour for a lo cal record company which record ed her current release, "My Big Brother's Friend." Miss Batten will make stops In Chicago, Wash ington, Baltimore and Philadel phia. Carolina's Debate Team, plus a few atmosphere-seeking individu als, will be heading for New Or leans over the holidays. All that can be elicited from the students making the trip has been a little ihazy. " ;.

Jordan Jr; of Buncombe, would not, allow more than 21 per cent of the pii trol's 581-car fleet to be of the unmarked variety. Another am endment, by Mecklenburg's Frank Snepp, would require all patrol cars to be equipped with sirens and - would require patrolmen to use them in halting . persons on the highways! Snepp, like Rep. George Uzzell of Rowan, was concerned about womtn drivers being halted by of f icers in janmarked, crs, said that while he thought the pa trol should have the plain cars, patrolmen "ought- to be required to identify themselves in some" way: The House beat down by a 57 41 vote an am'endment by - Rep. Thomas White of Lenoir. It would have required the patrol to get the Governor's permission to use any 'unmarked cars a,nd then not more than 20 per cent of its fleet could be unmarked.
